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

Fun First Time Family Activity

Reviewed by: Michelle Thompson

I brought my family to the luau since it was our first time to Hawaii. The dancers, musicians and fire knife dancers were very impressive. The food was abundant and pretty good. The weather cooperated, and it was a lovely evening.
Compared to other luau experiences I looked at, this one was affordable. However, I didn’t feel like the food was as good as it could have been. The chicken was good—but it was dark meat. The pork was tender but had little flavor. The dessert was cake with a few pieces of pineapple next to it. Pretty expensive for dinner and entertainment.
It was nice that two drink tickets for beer, wine or Mai Tais were included with each ticket and free water and juice were available to all.
It was fun that the cast came out afterwards so people could have their pictures taken with them.

I saw a turtle! 亀さんいたよー

Reviewed by: ドラゴン

Snorkeling was a bit painful as I bumped my shin on the coral and scraped it, but kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were fun. The staff were kind and friendly. The highlight was when I was paddleboarding and they said, "Look, there's a turtle!" and took me right over to see it. I was so moved to see a swimming turtle up close for the first time. Thank you, Hideo & Midori.

シュノーケリングはサンゴでちょっとスネをぶつけて､擦りむいて痛かったけど、カヤックやサップは面白かったです。スタッフの方が親切でフレンドリー。1番はサップをしていた時に亀がいるよ〜。と言ってすぐ近くまで一緒に行ってくれた事。初めて泳いでいる亀さんをすぐ近くで見ることが出来て感動しました。ありがとうございましたhideo&midori

Driver Tomo was incredibly friendly and shared a lot of local information with us. The staff at the Kailua shop were also very friendly. Since my youngest daughter is 9 years old, we couldn't rent bikes, but they kindly inflated a small float for her, allowing us to enjoy the beach all day. Bodyboarding was also fun! For lunch, the kids ordered pizza, and I ordered barbecue, both of which were very delicious! I definitely want to come back here next time.

The ride to Sandbar is very smooth, no waves, no worries on emotion sickness. My 6yr old especially enjoyed the Banana Boat and Bumper Tube rides. Highly recommend. The staff was very nice. They even helped us babysit our 2yr old while the rest of family were on the boat and tube rides. :D

The Snorkel was OK. Not many fishes though. If you are planning your trip primarily for the snorkel, it is likely better to find a snorkel specific place.

Challenge yourself with SUP! SUPに挑戦！

Reviewed by: レオピョン

This was our first time participating as a couple over sixty. On the boat, we enjoyed Hawaiian songs, and the staff were very kind, communicating with us in simple Japanese since we couldn't speak English. (It's okay if you can't speak English.) There were drinks and donuts that were soft and delicious. Our main goal was to try SUP! With the staff's explanations while we were in the water, we started SUP. At first, we were nervous, but we soon got used to it and were able to ride comfortably. We had a great time kayaking and snorkeling as well.

When it was time to return, everyone was excited and singing along on the boat, which was a lot of fun! Next time, I want to bring my grandchildren along.

Thank you for your hospitality!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初めての参加になります。船の中ではハワイアンソングを聴きながら和気あいあいでスタッフの方も英語が話せない私達に片言の日本語でとても親切に接してくれました。（英語ダメでもOK）飲み物やドーナツが有り柔らかくて美味しかったです。お目当てはSUPです！海の中に居るスタッフさんの説明でSUP開始です。恐々乗ってると時期に慣れて気持ち良く乗る事が出来ました。カヤックをやったりシュノーケリングをやったりと充実した時期を楽しく過ごせました。
時間になり帰りの船の中でも弾き語りで皆さん大盛り上がりでとても楽しかったです！

Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.

「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合！有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー＜ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内＞

I was very satisfied with the sensory experience in Hawaii! ♡ 五感で楽しむハワイに大満足♡

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃまる夫婦

We participated in this tour at the beginning of our honeymoon. Since it was both of our first trips to Hawaii, this tour, which combined "food" and "entertainment," felt like a great deal.

**Buffet Dinner**
The dinner venue was filled with people from various nationalities, not just Japanese. Everyone had different reasons for joining; there were honeymooners like us, as well as those celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries. The food was prioritized for VIP seating, so the wait time felt a bit long, but during that time, the staff came to chat with us and even sang celebratory songs with a ukulele, which made the wait enjoyable. The buffet menu featured a colorful array of Hawaiian fish, meat, vegetables, and sweet potatoes, allowing us to enjoy not just the taste but also the presentation. There were also hula lessons during the meal, making it hard to decide whether to watch or eat, and before we knew it, dinner time was over. I regretted not having enough time to go for a second round! (laughs) Overall, the cast members were cheerful and friendly, and we had a great time chatting with others at our table.

**Showtime**
After dinner, we moved to the hall where the "Rock-a-Hula Show" began. The seating was mostly open, and aside from the VIP designated seats, we could sit anywhere there was space. The cast members from the dinner also performed as dancers, so it was fun to spot our server from earlier! The show featured a mix of different eras and genres, which was very interesting. The performances by local professional singers, as well as the cast members impersonating Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, were fantastic. Even songs we didn't know were enjoyable, and there was a rich variety of dance styles and highlights. Dancers descended from the ceiling, and surfboards were used on stage—such impressive staging! There were also traditional Hawaiian music and dance performances, with explanations in between, making it a time of both enjoyment and learning. Personally, the most impressive part was the fire dance. Watching a small boy skillfully dance while manipulating flames was breathtaking, and I held my breath in awe, giving a big round of applause during his final pose. After the show, we could meet the cast members in the lobby for photos, which was a wonderful way to share our thoughts while the excitement was still fresh.

Although some time has passed since we participated, reflecting on the fun memories made this review longer than I intended. However, no matter how much I write, "seeing is believing." With all five senses engaged—taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch—this tour truly allows you to soak in Hawaii. I highly recommend it!

ハネムーンの序盤に参加しました。
夫婦揃ってハワイ旅行が初めてということもあり、「食」と「エンターテインメント」がセットになったこちらのツアーはとてもお得感がありました。

ビュッフェディナー
ディナー会場には 日本人だけでなく、さまざまな国籍の方がいます。また、参加のきっかけも人それぞれで、私たちのようなハネムーナーもいればお誕生日の方や結婚記念日のご夫婦など、特別な日を祝いに来ている方がたくさんいらっしゃいました。料理はVIP席の方が優先なので、取りに行けるまでの待ち時間は少し長めに感じましたが、その間にもスタッフの方が話し掛けにきてくださったり、ウクレレでお祝いの歌を歌ってくださったりと、ただ「待つ」だけではなかったのが嬉しかったです。
ビュッフェメニューもハワイのお魚やお肉・野菜やお芋が色とりどりに揃っており、味だけでなく見た目も楽しめました。食事の途中でもフラ講座などがあり、そちらも見たいしご飯も食べたいしで、あっという間のディナータイム。二周目を取りに行く間もなく食事の時間が終わってしまったのが悔やまれる……！(笑) とにかく、案内のキャストさんたちがとても朗らかで親しみやすく、近くの席になった他の皆さんともワイワイ盛り上がりました。

ショータイム
食事が終わると、ホールに移動していよいよ「ロック・ア・フラショー」が始まります。客席はほとんど自由席になっており、VIPの指定席以外は空いていればどこでも座れました。ディナー会場にいたキャストさんもダンサーとして登壇しているので、「あ！さっきのお兄さんだ！」と自分の席の担当キャストさんを探すのもまた一興。ショーの内容も、年代・ジャンルもあれこれ散りばめられていてたいへん興味深かったです。
現地のプロシンガーさんのオリジナルソングや、エルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮するキャストさんのパフォーマンスも素晴らしく、知っている曲はもちろんのこと、知らない曲でもノリノリで楽しめます。また、歌だけでなく踊りの種類や見どころも豊富で、天井からダンサーさんが降りてきたり、舞台上でサーフボードを乗り回したりと、演出もお見事！ハワイの伝統的な音楽や踊りの演目もあり、合間には解説もしてくれるので、愉しむだけではなく学びもあるひとときでした。個人的に一番印象的だったのは、ファイアー・ダンス。身体の小さな少年が、全身で炎を操りながら踊る姿は圧巻で、息を呑みながら見守り、決めポーズでは感動の鳥肌とともに大きな拍手を贈りました。終演後はロビーでキャストさんたちと面会・記念写真撮影もできるので、気持ちが熱いうちに感想を直接伝えられるのが最高に嬉しかったです。

参加してから少し経っているにもかかわらず、楽しかった思い出をひとつひとつ振り返っていたら 感想が長くなってしまいました。しかし、どれだけ長く書いたところで、「百聞は一見に如かず」です。味覚・聴覚・視覚・嗅覚・触覚……まさに、全身でハワイを浴びられるツアーだと思います。ぜひ！
