This cruise was great. The food was good, the entertainment outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu. I also liked walking around outside and seeing the island from the sea. It's a little pricey, but worth it.

My sister and I wanna say thank you all at big chief's luau. First luau ever and we had a blast. So glad I had chosen Big Chief's. By far the best even though I'd had never been to another. The family oriented feeling you received you felt as if you had known them longer then you had. The food and entertainment was awesome. Not to mention the lesson in life to learn from . Teaching cultures and hawaii traditions was special. much love to the crew at Big chief's for making us feel so welcome. I would recommend to anyone I know. Even the bus tour guides was top stars.

There were few Japanese participants, and both on the bus and during the show, an interesting guy talked a lot, so it was tough if you didn't understand English to some extent. My parents in their 70s, who went with me, couldn't enjoy it and ended up dozing off. There were various activities before the show, and participating in them was really fun. The food was quite good for a luau show buffet. The hula dance only took up a small portion of the show and the quality wasn't that high. The highlight was the fire dance performed by a large group. It was a luau show where you could feel the atmosphere of both America and Hawaii throughout.
日本人の参加は少なく、バスの中もショーの中でも面白いおじさんが喋りまくる、時に話しかけられるので、英語がある程度わからないと厳しいです。一緒に行った70代の両親は楽しめず、居眠りしてました。。ショーの前に色々なactivityがあり、参加してみるととても楽しかったです。食事はルアウショーのビュッフェにしては美味しかったです。ショーの中でフラが占める割合はほんの少しで、それほどクオリティも高くないです。圧巻だったのは大人数でのファイヤーダンスでした。アメリカとハワイの空気を随所に感じるルアウショーでした。

Due to traffic (not indicated by Google Maps) we were running late. I called the boat office and they would not hold the boat for me for 7 minutes, as that is all we needed after the traffic picked up to get to the pier. Extremely disappointed! It was our last night in Hawaii so we couldn't make it up. $450 in the air. Hopefully Veltra will understand and issue a refund.

Watching the sunset—connecting it to my own life as a way of signaling the end of a day on Earth—made me want to see the best sunset after turning 60. Moreover, with the Milky Way above and a mantle convection hotspot beneath my feet, I chose Haleakalā for this unique experience. It truly is mysterious how "connections" work; I met Mr. Yamauchi, who has been guiding Haleakalā tours for 2,800 times, after moving to Maui from Washington State, where I have lived for 25 years—this seems too coincidental to be mere chance.
His passion for continuing to guide up to 3,055 times, in reference to Haleakalā's elevation of 3,055 meters, shines through in his gestures as he serves hot barley tea and when he passionately shares his life story. This was not just a tour to see the sunset and starry sky; it was something wonderful. Due to the full moon, we couldn't see the Milky Way, but Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were all clear! Through the telescope, we could see satellites and rings, making it feel like a textbook experience (though it’s usually the other way around). I will come again during the new moon. There are still many other places I want to visit in Maui.
I am savoring a level of satisfaction that cannot be expressed in words, thanks to Mr. Yamauchi's flexible responses, Mayu's smile, and the very well-organized tour. Everything is a cosmic arrangement.

We have been coming here for quite a while and have attended more luaus than I can count. The island breeze luau is the best. What makes this one great is the history of the island that is part of the program. Plus the buffet is the best one around. And just like in real estate, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!!!!
We recently moved here so a luau is always on the agenda when friends come. We still get as excited now as the first one we ever saw.

We stayed in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and this was attended the night of our very anniversary and all I can say is that the Luau was amazing. When everyone celebrating and anniversary was asked to go on stage, given flowers, torches came out and they shut off the lights and had the couples dance under the stars, it made our night. We could not have asked for a better experience. We had a great time, the staff was amazing and the event was more awesome than I could have ever anticipated. Highly recommend.

I reserved a 5-course meal at Celebration. The dining areas are on the 1st to 3rd floors, and we had a window-side seat on the 3rd floor! During the meal, we could freely go out to the hallway or the rooftop to take pictures and enjoy the view. It was amazing to see a rainbow, watch the sunset, and enjoy the Independence Day fireworks. Towards the end of the meal, we watched a dance show, and at the end, everyone in the audience danced together. It was fun from the moment we boarded the cruise until we disembarked. We also received photos as a gift, which made for a great keepsake!
セレブレーションの5コースを予約しました。
1〜3階が食事をする階で私たちは3階の窓側の席でした!
食事中は自由に廊下や屋上に出て写真を撮ったりゆっくり景色を眺めたりできました。
虹が出たり、サンセットを眺めたり、独立記念日の花火をみたりと最高でした。
食事の終盤にはダンスショーをみたり最後は観客みんなで踊ったりと、クルーズに乗ってから降りるまで終始楽しかったです。

As the reviews mentioned, there were hardly any Japanese people. Most of the audience was made up of Australians and tourists from the mainland United States, with a few Koreans as well. The bus and the show were entirely in English, but I think those who have a little English ability can understand it. The host of the show spoke slowly, so I was able to understand most of it. However, there were some typical foreign show jokes that might be a bit embarrassing if you're going with children of a certain age, but the host was skilled and entertaining.
I participated in the Royal Plan, but our seats were towards the back even within that plan. Since I had my timid 4-year-old daughter with me, I think the front row would have been too overwhelming, so it was just right. Children under 4 are free, so I thought she would sit on my lap, but they provided a child’s chair. I was looking forward to the short guided tour mentioned in the plan, but it didn’t happen. There was a turtle tank on the way to the venue, so we could see that, but everyone could see it regardless of the plan. I didn’t quite understand the lomi lomi salmon & poi tasting either; I don’t think it happened.
Each person received three drink tickets, but the bar closed before the show ended, so I couldn’t use them all. There was a waiter, so it seemed like you could ask for drinks. Since the seats at the edge of the Royal Plan are right next to the Standard Plan, I think the Standard Plan isn’t too bad either.
The activities started without me realizing it, and you have to actively participate. There were so many people that I could only experience a couple of things.
I haven’t seen other shows, but this one was very good. However, I felt a bit unsatisfied. There was a lot of talking from the host and interactions with the audience on stage, and I wished I could have seen more hula. But the final fire dance was spectacular. My daughter stayed seated without getting bored, and it wasn’t too far from Waikiki. I was very satisfied with our last night in Hawaii.
口コミ通り、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。大半がオーストラリア人とアメリカ本土からの観光客で、少し韓国人の方もいました。
バスもショーもずっと英語ですが、少し英語のできる人ならわかるかなといった感じです。特にショーの司会の方はゆっくりとした英語で話されていたので、大体理解できました。ただ、外国のショーでありがちな下ネタがよく入るので、お年頃のお子さんと行くのは少し恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、話も上手で面白かったです。
ロイヤルプランで参加しましたが、席はロイヤルプランの中でも後ろでした。怖がりな4歳の娘もいたので、最前列では迫力がありすぎてダメだったと思うので、ちょうどよかったです。4歳までは無料なので、ひざの上だと思ってましたが、子供いすを用意してくださいました。このプランではショートガイドツアーがあると書いてあり、楽しみにしていましたが、ありませんでした。会場に行く途中でカメの水槽があったので、見れることは見れましたが、プランに関係なく皆さん見れます。ロミロミサーモン&ポイ試食というのもよくわかりませんでした。なかったと思います。
飲み物も一人3枚付いていましたが、ショーが終わる前にはバーが閉まっており、全部使いきれませんでした。ウェイターさんがいるので、頼めば持ってきてくれるようでした。
ロイヤルプランの端っこの席だと、スタンダードプランのすぐ横なので、スタンダードプランでもそんなに悪くはないのかなと思います。
アクティビティは、いつの間にか始まっていて、自ら積極的に参加しなくてはいけないです。人も多いので、2つほどしか体験できませんでした。
ショーは、他のを見たことありませんが、とてもよかったです。ただちょっと物足りなかったです。司会の方のトークや観客をステージに上げてのトークも多く、もっとフラを見ていたかったような気もしますが、最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。娘も飽きることなく席に座っていましたし、ワイキキからもそう遠くなく、ハワイ最後の夜に、大変満足でした。

This time, we went to Hawaii for the first time with our parents from both families to hold a local wedding ceremony. We wanted to create some memorable experiences to express our gratitude to our parents during our free time, so we booked a vow renewal and sunset cruise. We enjoyed dinner while cruising, watched a Hawaiian show, and had photos taken for each couple, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time.
The vow renewal ceremony itself was a first for our parents, and they seemed a bit shy about the idea of participating in such a ceremony. However, thanks to the open atmosphere of Hawaii, it all turned into a wonderful memory. By the way, I explained the vow renewal to our parents while we were having appetizers.
The ceremony could have been conducted for each couple separately, but we were able to do it for two couples at the same time. One slight disappointment was that our parents (and I) didn't understand much English, and the ceremony felt a bit rushed (perhaps because it was in between dinner?). Nevertheless, it was a valuable experience.
For now, the surprise was a success!!
The three-star atmosphere was lively, so it might be suitable for families. The meal portions and drinks were generous, and we left feeling full. The vow renewal could be a great surprise gift.
今回、現地挙式を行うため私達+私達両家の両親で初ハワイへ行ってきました。
フリータイムを有効に使って、何か両親への感謝を伝えられる思い出作りを???と・・・今回のバウ・リニューアル&サンセット・クルーズを申し込みました。クルーズをしながらディナー、ハワイアンショーもみれて、カップルごとに写真も付いて、ゆったりとした時間を楽しめました。
バウ・リニューアルという儀式自体、両親達は初耳、まさか自分達がそんな儀式をするなんて
・・・ちょっと照れ臭かったみたいですが、ハワイの開放的な雰囲気のおかげで、全ては良い思い出になりました。ちなみに両親達にバウ・リニューアルについて、前菜を食べながら説明しました。
儀式はそれぞれの夫婦ごとに進めることもできたのですが、2カップル同時にさせていただきました。ちょっと残念なこととすると、親は(私も)そんなに英語が理解できなかった+儀式的にはあっという間(ディナーの合間なので?)ということでしょうか。でも、貴重な経験ができました
。
ひとまずサプライズ成功です!!
3スターは賑やかな雰囲気だったのでファミリーに向いているかもしれません。食事量も飲み物も2杯付いてお腹がいっぱいになりました。
バウ・リニューアルについては、サプライズプレゼントにいいかもしれませんょ。
