Too long of a time before the food. The moving from station To station to see the different classes. Should be performed on the stage during wait time. When it was time to eat it was crazy. I was told they would call tables at a time. Didn't happen. It was a stampede..Food was taken away quickly. Just seemed uncoordinated the customer service seemed unapproachable.
Best part was the exit out of the venue.. but wait that was my doing.

Although the opening hours are short, you can enjoy the slides without waiting in line as long as you have the stamina to climb the stairs.
There are only a few shaded chairs, so I recommend arriving early.
There are also several types of paid shaded seating, which are quite expensive.
As for the lockers, the instructions are available in Japanese, making them easy to use, but they cost $18 (which is high).
開園時間が短いもののスライダーは並ぶ事なく、階段を昇る体力さえあれば何度でも楽しめる。
日陰げのチェアは数ヶ所しかないので早めに行く事をお勧めします。
かなりお高いが有料の日陰げ席も何種類かあります。
それからロッカーは使用方法が日本語にもなるので簡単だけど、$18(高)

When I went for the first time, it was not crowded, and I had so much fun playing on the slides that I went again! This time was also very enjoyable, so I will go again! By the way, I always rent a car from Waikiki to go to the pool and stop by the outlet on the way back.

It was a venue near the Disney Hotel! I had a great time with mini activities before the show and browsing the gift shop. ☺️ I was lucky enough to ride a canoe for free and saw a sea turtle in the beautiful sea nearby!!!
For those celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, you can go up on stage, which allows for various experiences and is a lot of fun! There are also couple dances, so you can fully enjoy the overseas atmosphere, and I highly recommend it. I went in late March in Japan, but it gets chilly at night, so it might be a good idea to keep a cardigan handy.
ディズニーホテルの近くにある会場でした!
ショー開始前のミニアクティビティやギフトショップでの暇つぶし込みで楽しかったです☺️
無料でカヌーにも乗れたのですが、運がよく、すごく近く綺麗な海で海ガメを見ることができました!!!
バースデーや記念日などの方はステージ上に上がれたりもするため、色々な経験をすることができ、楽しいです!途中カップルダンスなどもあるため、海外の雰囲気をmaxで楽しむことができ、おすすめです。
日本の3月下旬ごろに行ったのですが、夜は冷えるため、カーディガンなども常備しておくと良いかもしれないです。

Before departing, I couldn't secure a reservation for the Aulani luau, so I found and booked this one instead, and I think it turned out to be a better choice.
We started at 5:00 PM and arrived about 10 minutes early on foot from Aulani. The seaside atmosphere was lovely, and I felt relaxed by the palm trees and the sunset view.
The activities before the show included Hawaiian tattoos (free with tips), stone bowling (free), a spear-throwing game called O'o'i (free), and a paid photo opportunity with tropical birds. After lining up for the Hawaiian tattoo, I managed to try stone bowling and O'o'i once each, just in time. After the experiences, we received shell leis for stone bowling and O'o'i. The paid photo with the tropical birds could be a nice keepsake, but since they were frequently pooping while on my arm, I personally found it a bit much.
We chose the Orchid Plan. I was torn between that and the Deluxe Plan, but since the show is quite long, it was easier for our family with kids to sit further back, making it more comfortable to step out if needed! Honestly, I felt that even the basic plan might have been sufficient.
I was careful about the Cove Card after reading everyone's comments, but I still made a mistake (laughs). It seems that the only place to use it for souvenirs is at the solidly built shop directly opposite the stage. Even with all the warnings I read, I still messed up, so I hope they can improve the clarity a bit… but since it’s not in Japan and my daughter liked the necklace, I’ll cherish the memory. For those who drink alcohol, it’s great, but for others, there’s free water and coffee available besides the welcome drink, so it might be better to check in advance whether the Cove Card can be used.
Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was delicious.
Overall, the plan was packed with experiences, and we had a great time. Thank you!
出発前に既にアウラニのルアウが取れず、こちらを見付けて予約しましたが結果こちらの方が良かったと思います。
17:00スタートでアウラニから徒歩で10分前に到着しました。海辺で雰囲気が良く、椰子の木と夕陽の景色に癒されました。
この日のショー前のアクティビティ?は、ハワイアン・タトゥ(無料/チップあり)、ストーン・ボーリング(無料)、槍投げのようなオ・オイ(無料)、南国の鳥?との写真撮影(有料)でした。ハワイアン・タトゥの列に並んでから、ストーン・ボーリングとオ・オイを1回ずつ体験して時間ギリギリでした。ストーン・ボーリングとオ・オイは体験後に貝殻レイ?が貰えます。有料の南国の鳥との撮影は記念にはなるかと思いますが、腕に居る間にかなり頻繁に糞をしていたので、個人的には無理でした。
プランはオーキッドプランにしました。デラックスプランと迷いましたが、ショーがかなり長いので子供の居る我が家は前方ではない方が席を外し易く気が楽でした!むしろ基本プランでも良かったかな?という感じです。
みなさんの書き込みを見て気を付けていたコーブカード…それでも失敗しました(笑)お土産で使えるのはステージとちょうど反対側にあるしっかりとした建物内にあるお土産屋さんのみな気がします。これだけ書き込みを見て気を付けて行った私でさえ失敗してしまうので、もう少し分かり易く改善して欲しいな…と思いますが、日本ではないのですし、娘も気に入ったネックレスだったので良い想い出にします。お酒を飲む方は良いのですが、そうではない方にはウェルカムドリンク以外にもフリーでお水はコーヒーがあるので、コーブカードが使えるかを先に確認して選ばれた方が良いかもしれません。
お食事は正直期待していなかったのですが、美味しかったです。
体験も含めて盛り沢山のプラン、とても楽しかったです。有り難うございました!

First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I definitely recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a swim towel (laughs).
Also, lunch options are really limited to a simple slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you can only bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so there's not much you can do about that. You don't need to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think it's fine to skip that. But if you're not one of the first people in line when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Most of these tours include transportation and usually arrive at the venue before opening, so you can typically secure a spot anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much (laughs).
Also, not all attractions are open, so be careful about that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you ride attractions barefoot, if you're worried about walking on hot surfaces, water shoes are a good option.)
Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions, and while most of the time they don't measure, sometimes there are staff members (dressed in polo shirts, wearing beige shorts, and holding walkie-talkies) at the attractions who will measure your height strictly, and if you're even a little short, they won't hesitate to let you off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we rode was with a part-time worker who didn't measure her height at all, but the second time we were caught by that staff member and she was told she was a bit too short to ride. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.
There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There's also a mini water slide, but generally, you have to slide down alone, so kids who can't go down by themselves might just end up feeling cold. The prices are definitely not cheap, so I don't think we'll be going back for a second visit. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and while there are showers, they only have cold water. Honestly, you might want to think that there are no hot showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.
まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ1ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人?(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小1娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、2回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には1人で滑らないといけないから、逆に1人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、2回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル~20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!
親子で参加。
日本人はおらず、全て英語で。
そこでちょっとつまずきました。
「スノーケリングやったことある人?」とか、色々お客さんに聞いてるんですが、
イマイチ理解出来ない。
ウェットスーツの着方も、結局他のお客さん(英語で)が手伝ってくれました。
それでも日本人のご家族も多くて。

ボートからクルーが浮き具を投げて何度も使ってと言っていたんですが、通じず。
私が日本語で「使う?」と声かけたら頷いて落ち着くことが出来たようです。
全て英語でも問題なければ、良いと思いますが、
時々トラブルが…。
あとは船酔い!
何人か…それはそれはもうグロッキーになって…袋を握りしめて横になっていたり、最初はあんなにはしゃいでたのにという女の子組もグッタリしていたり…。
見てて可哀想でした。
我が子も酔いやすいので、ワイキキ出発時と、船乗船時の2回、酔い止めキャンディを服用させて、難なきを得ました。
酔い止め対策必須ですね!
あとはタオル。海から上がると寒いです!
風も強いので(ボートで走ってる最中は)、濡れた体が体温を奪いました。
最後にタトゥーシールを貼って貰えたのが子供は「ロコっぽい」と大喜び!
どなたかのコメントで「現金はいらない」と書かれてあったので持って行かなかったのですが、
持って行けば良かったです。
私達親子のお世話をよくしてくれたTitthaにチップを渡せなかったのが残念です。

The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!
The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.
更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分!

The welcome drink was delicious, and we enjoyed various events before the show, such as hula lessons and a tree climbing show. The buffet dinner was also tasty. The show on the main stage featured various dances from the Polynesian region, and we had a great time. It can get a bit chilly at night, so I think having a light jacket would be good. There is no guidance in Japanese at all, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand English. My companion, who doesn't speak any English, also had a great time.

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sunset Snorkel Cruise! The views were beautiful and the crew were so nice! I was nervous about trying to snorkel but the crew was super helpful and I felt safe (life vest and I was able to use a floatie as well) and we saw lots of colorful fish and sea turtles! The cocktail service was great, tasty and generous. Unfortunately during the return portion of the cruise, I felt a bit seasick (did not really affect my enjoyment of the cruise though) so only ate rice for dinner but my husband enjoyed the food which was plentiful. If you are prone to motion sickness (which I am) that would be my only advice, I forgot my accupressure wristbands which do actually work fairly well. I liked that the group was small and we had the freedom to move around and sit and stand where we wanted and all the guests were pleasant and we felt comfortable socializing and getting to talk to other people. I highly recommend this cruise!

I participated in the luau in November 2023. The fire dance performance was truly spectacular! The powerful dance and unique techniques, along with a large number of male dancers handling fire, made for a very impressive luau!
The location is in the Kapolei area, a bit away from Waikiki, and the luau is held on the grounds of the theme park "Wet 'n' Wild." I visited using a rental car, but there are also paid shuttles available from Waikiki, so if you're feeling uncertain, using the shuttle might be a good option.
The luau starts around the time Wet 'n' Wild closes. Staff dressed in Hawaiian attire greet you at the entrance and place a lei around your neck. Along the way to the venue, you can take commemorative photos before entering the open-air venue. The seating consists of plastic chairs, but they are neatly arranged, and a staff member guides you to your assigned seat.
During the bright hours before all the guests arrive, you can experience Hawaiian culture. I tried making a crown using coconut leaves. It might be fun for families with elementary school children or groups to participate in. There was also a traditional fire-starting demonstration on stage. You can enjoy a friendly atmosphere while waiting for the show to start.
Once all the guests have arrived, the show begins. First, there is a welcome performance by strong male dancers, followed by the meal time. The meal is served buffet-style, and you take food in the order you are seated. Since there were many large guests from the mainland, some menu items were gone by the time I went for seconds... It might be a good idea to take enough food during the first serving.
The staff also provides drinks with the meal. I refrained from alcohol since I was driving, but there are menu items like Mai Tai cocktails that you can only enjoy in Hawaii! If you're coming with a shuttle or with family, I recommend enjoying the exclusive drinks.
After enjoying a hearty meal, it’s finally time for the dance show. By the time the show starts, the sun has set, and the torches on stage create an atmospheric setting. The audience also starts to get excited. The dance show features about eight performers, showcasing not only hula but also Tahitian dance and moody performances, all of which are very engaging.
The highlight of this luau is undoubtedly the fire dance! The number of performers, the intensity, and the main dancer's skills combined to create an overwhelming performance. It ended with a standing ovation and loud applause. If you want to enjoy a show full of excitement, this is definitely a luau you should participate in!
It was incredibly impressive, and I'm glad I participated! Thank you to all the staff!
2023年11月に参加させていただきました。1にも2にもファイヤーダンスが圧巻のパフォーマンス!大迫力のダンスと他に類を見ないような技術の数々、火を扱う男性ダンサーの数も多く、非常に見応えたっぷりのルアウでした!
場所は少々ワイキキから離れたカポレイ地区、テーマパーク「ウェット&ワイルド」の敷地内で実施されているルアウです。私はレンタカーを使って訪問しましたが、ワイキキから有料送迎も出ているので不安な方は送迎利用も良いかもしれません。
ルアウの開始時間はウェット&ワイルドの閉園と近い時間。入口でハワイアンの装いをしたスタッフさんたちが出迎え、1人ずつレイを首にかけててくれます。会場までの道中で記念写真を撮っていただき、オープンエアの会場へ。座席はプラスチックのイスですが、きれいに整頓されており、自分の指定席にスタッフさんが案内してくれました。
お客さんが全員揃うまでの明るい時間帯はハワイアン文化の体験ができます。私はココナッツの葉っぱを使った冠作りに挑戦。小学生連れのご家族やグループで楽しんでみても良いかもしれません。ステージの上では昔ながらの火起こし体験も実施されていました。ショー開始までの時間、和気あいあいとした雰囲気を満喫することができます。
会場にお客さんが揃った頃からショーの開始です。まずは屈強な男性陣によるウェルカムパフォーマンスがあり、そこからお食事タイムへ。食事はブッフェ形式で席に座っている順番に取り分けていく流れです。大柄なアメリカ本土のお客さんが多かったせいか、おかわりを取りに行った頃にはなくなっているメニューもいくつか…1回目のとりわけでしっかりと食べる分は取っておくと良いかもしれませんね。
お食事と共にスタッフさんがドリンクを提供してくれます。私は運転があったのでアルコールは控えましたが、マイタイカクテル等、ハワイでしか飲めないメニューも!送迎つきで来られている方やご家族で来ている場合は、限定ドリンクを楽しむのもお勧めです。
お腹いっぱいまでお食事を楽しんだ後は、いよいよダンスショータイムになります。ショー開始の頃には日も沈んで夜も更けており、ステージ上の松明が世界感を演出。会場に合わせて、客席も盛り上がってきます。ダンスショーは男女8名程度の構成で、フラダンスはもちろん、タヒチアンダンスやムーディーなダンス等、見応えたっぷりの演目が続きます。
このルアウの見どころはなんといってもファイヤーダンス!人数、迫力、メインダンサーの技術など、総合して圧倒的なパフォーマンスでした。最後はスタンディングオベーションで大拍手喝采。とにかく迫力満点のショーを楽しみたい方には、是非参加いただきたいルアウショーでした!
非常に見応えたっぷり、参加して良かったです!
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!

We participated in ziplining and ATV riding for the first time, with two adults.
We checked in at the Coral Crater reception 15 minutes early. There are lockers available for our belongings, which we used. The operation is via a touch panel, and since there is a Japanese language option, it was easy to use. The locker fees vary depending on the size, and payment can be made by credit card.
First, we did the zipline. The instructions for putting on the equipment were all in English, but they showed us a video in Japanese, so we were able to manage. Additionally, the instructors were there to help, so there were no issues. The first line was nerve-wracking, but the next two were a lot of fun. I felt like three lines weren't enough.
Next was the ATV riding. The operation instructions were also all in English, but since you only use the accelerator and brake, it was simple.
They provide goggles for your eyes, and I wore a face cover that I brought for my mouth and nose. It was a lot of fun driving on paths that you can't experience on regular roads, with ups and downs and puddles. You can also switch drivers during the ride. Of course, my clothes got covered in sand and mud, but there are free shower booths available, so I was able to quickly take a shower and change before our pickup. There were no shampoos or anything like that; it was a simple outdoor shower with a door.
Since you will get dirty, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting stained.
There is also a gift shop where you can buy some souvenirs.
I would love to enjoy ziplining and ATV riding again if I have the chance.
初めてのジップラインと四輪バギー、大人2名で参加しました。
コーラルクレーターの受付に15分前にチェックインしました。荷物はロッカーがあるので利用しました。操作はタッチパネルで、日本語選択があるので簡単にできました。ロッカー料金は大きさによって違います。支払いはクレジットカードも利用できます。
まずはジップラインをします。装備品の装着の説明はすべて英語でしたが、日本語の動画を見せてくれるので対応できました。また、インストラクターも手伝ってくれるので問題ありません。
最初がドキドキでしたが、あとの2本は楽しくできました。3本じゃ物足りないような気もしました。
次に四輪バギーです。
こちらも操作方法はすべて英語でしたが、アクセルとブレーキしか使わないので簡単です。
目はゴーグルの貸し出しがあるので、それを装着し口と鼻は持参したフェイスカバーを装着しました。
登り下り、水たまりなどなど、普通の道路では体験できない道でとても楽しかったです。
途中で運転手も交代できます。
もちろん服は砂だらけ、泥が跳ねたりと汚れだらけになりましたが、無料のシャワーブースがあるので、お迎えがくるまでの間にさっとシャワーを浴びて着替えることができました。シャンプーとかはないです。屋外シャワーに扉がついている簡易的なものでした。
とにかく汚れるので服は汚れてもいいものをおすすめします。
ギフトショップもあるので、ちょっとしたお土産も買えます。
また機会があればジップラインと四輪バギー楽しみたいです。

We enjoyed all aspects of this luau and highly recommend it. The host was phenomenal, as were the dancers. And the food was incredibly tasty.
