Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

Good

Reviewed by: Val

I think more variety of food, the free alcoholic needs more alcohol. The guy who goes around collecting trash missed us not once but twice. We waved at him several times but he still missed us.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Val, I'm sorry we didn't have enough of a variety of food to your liking. We couldn't serve you a completely authentic Hawaiian food buffet because you probably wouldn't eat it. We had to do more of a local variety of island favorites to have more of a Hawaiian/American buffet. We offer baked fish, grilled boneless chicken, kalua pork(cooked in the imu, or underground oven), and teriyaki beef along with a fruit salad, macaroni salad, pineapple cole slaw, white rice, plus lomi salmon,& poi(a hawaiian staple)....sweet rolls, and couple desserts. Truly that is quite a variety of food. Not sure how much alcohol you expected,...but we have had some feedback about certain drinks being too strong, so I'm surprised. I'm not sure why the guy collecting the trash missed you, but I apologize for him. Thank you so much for your feedback, and hope that you will one day return to our island and our luau again!! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ 絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

Wet n Wild ウェット&ワイルド

Reviewed by: ホノカ

I went with my 13-year-old son, my 10-year-old daughter, and my 68-year-old parents, making a total of six people. There were many local children, and while we were waiting in line, they casually talked to us and recommended other attractions. The woman who provided transportation between the hotel and Wet 'n' Wild was also easy to talk to, and thanks to her advice, we were able to have a meaningful time.

中3の息子と小5の娘、68歳の両親と6人で行きました。現地の子供もたくさんいて、並んでる間に気さくに話かけてくれて他のアトラクションについてもオススメを教えてくれました。ホテルとウェット&ワイルドの送迎をして下さった女性も話しやすく、アドバイスをいただいたおかげで有意義な時間を過ごせました。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Melinda Kennedy

My daughter and I had a wonderful time at chief’s luau. The Chief was so funny and they all put on a great show! You could really feel the warmth of his personality shining through his speech and his humor made everything great. Tons of fire dancing, singing, story telling, and more dancing all around. Great food and great people to share the experience with. Felt like you were still in paradise. Definitely recommend purchasing close up seats and the lei package so you can get the full experience. Especially if it’s your first time in Hawaii. Totally worth every penny.

コーラルクレーター・アドベンチャーパーク ジップライン体験 3本(1時間)または6本(2時間) 四輪バギー体験(45分)付きプランもご用意<送迎付きプランあり>

First zip line experience with the family. 家族で初ジップライン

Reviewed by: Chi

It was our family's first zip line experience, including elementary school children. We did six lines. Since it was in the afternoon, it was quite hot. Because each person has to go through a safety check before flying, if there are many people, the waiting time can be quite long, and there is no shade, so you can get sunburned easily.

It was nice that there was time to buy drinks and use the restroom during the break after doing three lines. If you drop your smartphone or anything, it's game over, but everyone was holding onto theirs with one hand. All the rules were in English, but even if you didn't understand, you could figure it out through gestures.

小学生子供を含む家族で初めてのジップラインでした。6本やりました。
午後の日中であった為、かなり暑かったです。1人1人安全確認をしてから飛ぶため、人数が多いと待ち時間は、日陰では無いので、かなり日焼けます。
3本やった後の休憩時間に飲み物を買う時間と御手洗時間があったので良かったです。
スマホなど落としたら終わりですが、皆 結構片手に持ってやっていました。
ルールなど全て英語でしたが、理解できなくてもジェスチャーで分かりました。

Good show but could be better...

Reviewed by: Heidi

The show was good. The host is very entertaining. Food is as usual, nothing spectular. Upon arrival, only adult received drink tickets which the description did not indicate kids and youth don't get ticket for drink. With the price, the kids deserve soda tickets. It will be better if there are more pre-show activities, such as more photo backdrops and more lighting.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Very well organized

Reviewed by: Stacey

We booked a shuttle to and from the Luau and paid for the Standard Package. This set up was perfect. The shuttle boarding was organized, spotless, and new. Our guide filled us in on expectations of the ride and luau. There were funny stories/laughter/entertainment on the bus. The luau was exceptional, professional, very well organized and laid out. Something for everyone. The dancing/singing was fantastic, everyone could see the open air stage from their seats, food was fantastic and lots of it. Drinks were aplenty, beautiful backstage for pictures either by a professional for purchase or your selfie.
I would absolutely take this again and recommend it to everyone!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Awesome Show

Reviewed by: Lydia

We had a really great time. From our bus host to the main event. Cousin Tao was our bus host and she made the 45 minute bus ride fly by. She educated us on the culture the tattoos and made us laugh. She talked about pearl harbour, the climate of the island, as well as some of her native language.

We enjoyed the food. The pork was flavorful, chicken was good. Like anyone, I stayed away from what I knew I wouldn't like. Drinks were ok, but we aren't big drinkers to begin with. The main show amazing. Chief was very entertaining. The dancers were authentic. They tell a story and explain each islands culture, while entertaining you. The finale was great with multiple fire knife world champions. I highly recommend this luau! Yeah it's not on the beach, but so what! I learned about the culture, and had great food.
Also at the end of the night we ended up with two drunk strays. Cousin Tao, even though she didn't have to. She could've just said sorry you aren't on the roster and made them get off the bus. She
Called her boss, asked him to come back to bring them back to Waikiki. I thought that was super nice of her. If you want a genuine luau experience go to Chiefs luau.

Ko Olina Zipline Adventure at Coral Crater Adventure Park on Oahu - Six & Three Line Courses

Not great but not terrible.

Reviewed by: Unsatisfied

So as soon as you get there, it's a little discouraging. It says adventure park, right. Well when you walk back, there are a lot of roosters , chickens and goats on the property. There are benches under an awning where you sit and wait. The instructors did well in gearing us up and taking us out so 5 starts to them. On the course, they should really think of changing out the cushion blood stained mats! LIKE SERIOUSLY! They seemed to have a nice course for the atv's but even the instructor said "not worth it, no power steering"
Our party had people that didn't want to zipline. So we thought adventure park, certainly they'll be something for them to do. We were so wrong! Instead they had to wait for us with the roosters chickens and goats. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else. Whoever did their website is a genius because they made the park look like something it isn't. Enjoy the pictures I've added, including the selfie with the goat. SMH!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Had a great time once we arrived

Reviewed by: R Gaspar

Our arranged bus was 20 min late, but part of the blame was a nearby hit and run (so traffic staggered around the police and paramedics). This caused us to miss most of the pre-show. Can't really fault anyone for that - just wished we had experienced it.
They no longer separate parties by table, so no more actual COVID separation (on paper/signs, they ask people to wear masks when away from their tables, but hardly anyone did so and no one enforced it).
Food was great. Buffet style, both sides of 2 rows of tables. Pick what you want, go back as much as you want. Lines were quick.
Performance was awesome. I wasn't aware that they had world champion fire dancers in the troupe. I personally loved the stories and explanations of each dance.

シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも!?選べる8時/12時出港プラン<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎あり>

Am I the only Japanese person? 日本人は私が一人だけ?

Reviewed by: Markun

In Honolulu, where the COVID-19 situation is improving, I felt there were still few Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, I participated alone this time. We moved towards Ko Olina and boarded a lovely boat from the harbor. Without any rocking, we encountered a pod of dolphins after about 20 minutes. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot and had an encounter with a sea turtle. After returning to the boat, I enjoyed some drinks and lunch, even though I was alone. A few people, including the captain, spoke Japanese, which was considerate for me as a solo traveler. Since there are few Japanese tourists, it might be understandable, but I think the fast-paced English explanations would be quite challenging without strong language skills. If possible, I would have appreciated it if printed translations of the explanations in Japanese were provided. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Good show/food, Odd location

Reviewed by: Megan

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.
