All Reviews for Oahu Luau Tickets

We went on a trip to Hawaii with my parents, wife, and daughter, a total of six people. There were many unclear parts due to everything being in English, but we were very satisfied with the dance performance.

両親、妻、娘、計６人でのハワイ旅行、すべて英語での対応で意味不明なところはたくさんありましたが、ダンスパフォーマンスに大満足でした。

an exceptional show great seating lovely food everyone enjoyed highly recommend

It was very good‼︎ I was in the third row, and I could hear not only the cast's expressions but also their breathing, which was incredibly powerful. I was moved by everything. I want to see it again when I go to Hawaii.

とても良かったです‼︎
前から三列目の席で、キャストの表情はもちろん息づかいまで聞こえて迫力満載でした。全てに感動しました。またハワイに行ったら見に行きたいです。

It was a trip with my daughter, and this was my first trip to Hawaii.

Since I don't know if I'll have another opportunity, I wanted to make sure I had no regrets, so I researched several "Hawaiian dance shows" and decided on this one.

The seats I chose were premium seats, which are naturally more expensive than general seating, but the location of the show and the dining arrangements were always prioritized, allowing me to gain satisfaction beyond the price.

The dance performances were enjoyable, with the professional dancers showcasing beautiful and refined techniques.

The host's skillful storytelling and ability to energize the atmosphere made the experience fun. The nearly three-hour show was entertaining and never boring.

On the way back, I had a memorable two-shot photo with a beautiful hula dancer. The premium seats are about 4,000 to 5,000 yen more than general seats, but considering the location and the privileged service, I highly recommend the premium seats.

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend the premium seats. Enjoy!

娘との旅行でしたが、今回が私にとって初のハワイ旅行です。

これから機会があるかどうかはわかりませんので、せいぜい悔いのないようにしたいと見たい「ハワイのダンスショー」もいくつか案内と内容を調べ、このショーに決めました。

選択したシートはプレミアシートで一般よりは当然高いのですが、
ショーを観劇する場所といい、食事の案内といい常に優先されて、
価格以上の満足感を得ることができました。

ショーのダンスも楽しく、プロの踊りはきれいで美しく
そして鍛えられた技を見せてくれます。

司会者の巧みな話術や盛り上げ方など楽しく場面を盛り上げてくれます。
３時間近くのショーは楽しく決して見あきることはありませんでした。

帰りにはきれいなフラ姿のお嬢さんとツーショット撮影も記念になりました。
プレミアシートの席は一般席より４~５千円ぐらい高いのでしょうが、
席の場所、優遇されたサービスを考えればお勧めのプレミアムシートです。

これから、感激されるならプレミアムシートをぜひお勧めします。
楽しんでください。

When I was thinking about what to choose for my uncle and aunt who are going to Hawaii for the first time, I found this show. I had always wanted to go, but I hesitated because I wasn't sure how it would be with small children. After the dinner, both my uncle and aunt were impressed by the powerful show and came back thrilled. Next time, I plan to take my sons with me.

初めてハワイにでかける伯父伯母に何を選ぼうと思った時、このショーを見つけました。私は今まで行きたいけれど小さい子供連れにはどうかなとしり込みしていました。夕食後の迫力あるショーに伯父も伯母も感激して帰ってきました。次回は息子たちを連れて行ってみようと思います。

The entire family participated. The event was conducted entirely in English, and I thought that those who didn't understand English might not grasp the meaning very well. Still, we were able to have a reasonably enjoyable time. Since similar shows are held in various places, I think it would be good to compare them. If asked whether I would come here again, I think I would look for a different place. I thought the levels of Tahitian dance and hula dance were quite high. Regarding the seating, the premium option is good because it is close to the stage and allows you to go to the buffet first. Since the seats are not assigned, if you want a good spot, I recommend arriving a bit early to line up rather than just before the show starts. They offer body painting before the show, which was popular among children and women.

一族総出で参加しました。終始英語で司会進行され、英語が分からない人には意味がよくわからないのではないかと思いました。それでもそれなりに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。さまざまな場所で同じようなショーが行われているので、見比べてみるのも良いかと思います。次回ここに来るかと聞かれたら、私はまた違うところを探すと思います。タヒチアンダンス、フラダンスともにレベルは高いのでないかと思いました。シートについてはプレミアだと舞台近くであることと、ビュッフェを先に取に行ける点が良いですね。座席は指定席ではないので、良い位置でみたいのならば開始直前に行かれるのではなく、ちょっと早めに行って並ぶ方が良いと思います。
ショー開始前にボディーペイントを行っています。子供・女性に人気でした。

A Japanese student explained everything to us, and it was very easy to understand and enjoyable. The evening show was quite long, and I dozed off a bit at the beginning, but the fire show at the end was absolutely amazing. I want to see it again!

日本人学生の子が説明して回ってくれ、とても分かりやすくたのしかった。夜のショーはけっこう長く最初の方はうとうと寝てしまったが、最後の方のファイヤーショウは、最高にすごかった。もう一度見たい！

This was my fourth visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center! It's always fun no matter how many times I go! This time, I had a friend with me for the first time, and the 4 PM pickup after completing other schedules was really great. I was able to make the most of my day! The buffet meal was delicious enough with the standard course, and I was satisfied! My seat for the show was on the side of the stage, but it was close enough to see well. During the show's intermission, several people moved to more visible seats that were available. I wasn't sure if it was okay to move, so I stayed in my seat until the end, but I would have appreciated a little note letting me know it was fine to switch if there were open seats!

４回目のポリネシアン文化センターでした！何回行っても楽しいです！
今回は初めての友達も一緒でしたが、他のスケジュールもこなしてからの１６時ピックアップはとても良いです。１日を有効に過ごせました！お食事バイキングもスタンダードコースで十分に美味しかったし、満足！ショーの席はステージのサイドでしたが、近くてまあ見やすかったです。ショーの休憩時間に空いているもっと見やすい席に移動している方が何人もいました。移動して良いものか判断しかねたのでそのまま最後まで自席で観ましたが、空いていたら移動して良いならひと言教えていただけると嬉しかったな！

We did the full day PCC package and definitely loved it. However, its all about the tour guide. If you go try to get cousin Main he was extremely knowledgeable and manage to get us in the front row for all the events. Also, learning about how the majority of the proceeds go to student tuition it is a nice to know. Lastly, the HA fire show definitely is one of, if not, the best fire show luau ever.

The Cheifs luau was great! He's hilarious and his dancers were amazing to watch. The food was excellent and this is some thing we would do again and recommend to others!!

We participated with a 2-year-old, a 5-year-old, mom, and grandma. The 2-year-old also enjoyed free drinks. They adjusted the alcohol for us, and we had delicious cocktails. The show was fun too. However, since it was cold, I recommend bringing warm clothing!

2歳児、5歳児、ママ、おばあちゃんで参加しました。
2歳児にもフリーでドリンクをいただきました。
アルコールも調整してくれて、美味しいカクテルをいただきました。
ショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、寒いので、防寒着を持って行かれることをオススメします！

This is a must see attraction. Of course very touristy but very well done. So much to see . Arrived around 12.30 had a quick lunch it was go go go for 5+ hours.It was very entertaining and informative. I want to come back to see what I missed. The extra $25 for lunch and guided tour was well worth it. Loved the Luau and night show . Don't think about this one just go!

I have to say that The Polynesian Culture Center is my favorite memory about Hawaii. I learned so much with this experience. We adored our Tour Guide "Cousin ViVii" she was very informative and a pleasure to be around. Not only is it my favorite memory of Hawaii, but a favorite memory of my life.

After reading so many reviews, we expected this experience to be great; however, we found most of the evening to be okay at best. The prime rib and seafood, "prime" dining, is not good. Much of the hot food was luke-warm, the roast beef...I mean prime rib...although pretty sure it was roast beef, was way overcooked and just gross, and much of the food was slimy and just inedible. There was one hot seafood item which was somewhat hot/somewhat still frozen, and my husband said was disgusting. It was not prime dining. I would suggest skipping dining there altogether.

We had some time to walk around; however, most of the exhibits are just artifacts or movies/shows. The Samoa live show was interesting and entertaining, but the videos were boring and I can't imagine what you could spend an entire day there doing (we went late at 4 PM and had plenty of time). The "Ha, Breathe of Life" show was the best part for sure. The show was entertaining; however, it was very long. We went to another luau and show earlier in our trip, booked through the cruise line, and I would say that show was better. "Ha, Breathe of Life" was very long and had a lot of repetitive dancing. They do a part of the show for each Island, so after awhile the dancing gets repetitive. Some aspects were really neat: fire dancing, a few of the dances with props, etc, but it would have been better if it hadn't been so extremely long and repetitive.

Overall, I can't say that I would recommend this experience. If I did, I would recommend the show, without eating dinner. Additionally, be prepared to pay extra for everything and have things that cost money constantly offered to you (I understand, it is a vacation destination, but for the Polynesian Cultural Center, which doesn't allow tipping and is all about culture, it just seemed weird after awhile). Next time we go to Hawaii, we will try a luau closer to the resort area, and skip the Polynesian Cultural Center.

This time, I attended a dinner show for the first time in Waikiki.

It was a standard plan, but I was able to enjoy the dance performances and the food was reasonably delicious.

However, the time between receiving the welcome drink and going to the buffet was too long, which was quite exhausting.

Depending on the seating order, some guests were served a bit earlier, but it would have been better if they could have accommodated us sooner.

Since I had an alcoholic welcome drink, I ended up getting tipsy before going to get the food.

The show itself was very satisfying.

今回ディナーショーはワイキキで初めて行きました。

スタンダードのプランでしたが、
十分にダンスを知覚で見れて料理もそれなりに美味しくいただきました。

ただ、ウェルカムドリンクがきてから、ビュッフェをとりにいくまでの時間が長過ぎてしんどかったです。

席の順番によってはやや早い方もいましたが、もっと早めにたいおうしてもらえると良かったです。

アルコールいりのウェルカムドリンクをいただいたので、料理をとりにいくまでに酔っ払いました。。

ショー自体はとても満足のいくものでした。

This was our first luau experience and it was fantastic. Transportation was included, the bus was on time and comfortable. When we arrived, they took a photo that had a beautiful back drop (amazing scenery with the mountain and the ocean), photo was $10 and quite decent quality. There were fun pre-show activities and drinks available. The buffet was good, we paid for the middle of the road package which was worth it. The emcee was funny and personable and the show was very entertaining, the woman sitting next to us said that they had been to several luaus and this was by far the best fire show they'd seen. We were called onto stage because it was our honeymoon and they gave me a nice flower bouquet. Overall it was really a great experience! The whole staff worked hard to make the night a good one. Worth every penny!

When we first booked this tour it was at the recommendation of my parents who had visited a few years previously. My husband and I were originally going to explore the center on our own, however, after spending an hour on the bus with Jermaine (hope I spelled that right) and learning that he was giving the tour, we decided to pay a little extra and join the tour group. Best investment we made on our vacation. Not only was Jermaine knowledgeable, friendly, and seriously hilarious, but he got us to all the shows and we saw more than if we had tried to navigate the center ourselves. Highly recommend this place to everyone, and pay the extra for a guide. Well worth it.

We had a great time with the whole family after the ceremony! We were able to go up on stage and participate together, and I got to dance with my husband. It became the best memory!

挙式後に家族みんなで利用して楽しい時間を過ごせました!!ステージに上がって一緒に参加できたし、旦那さんとダンスできたし、最高の思い出になりました！

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to see something like a traditional dance, and after searching around, I chose this one as it seemed convenient. We went in mid-September, just the two of us.

- Food…★★★ It was a buffet style, but we could only go once to get food before the show started, and getting a second helping was nearly impossible (the plates were cleared away quickly). However, the plates were larger compared to Japan, so it wasn't a problem in the end. There was a separate kids' buffet available. The taste was decent.
- Drinks…★★ The ticket included two drink vouchers; one was for a welcome drink (you could choose between juice or one of two cocktails), and the other was for after the meal (you could choose from several cocktails, wine, beer, or soft drinks). The welcome drink was almost forced upon us. The free water was gone by the time we had our meal, so I wished they had included another drink voucher.
- Show content…★★★★ The final fire dance was very impressive. Various traditional dances from places other than Hawaii were also showcased. Each had slightly different costumes, which was quite interesting.

It's not a full-fledged luau with a whole roasted pig, but I think it's good for those who want to see traditional dances in a convenient way. By the way, surprisingly (?), about 30% of the audience was Japanese, with many Westerners present.

初ハワイだったので、一度は伝統舞踊のようなものを見てみたいと思い、色々探してお手軽そうなこれにしました。行ったのは9月中旬、夫と2人です。

・料理…★★★　ビュッフェ形式ですが、ショー開始前に一度取りに行けただけでお代わりはほぼ無理です（お皿が早々に片づけられてしまいました）。ただし、お皿が日本と比べて大きかったので結果問題なし。キッズ用ビュッフェが別に用意されていました。味はまずまずです。
・飲み物…★★　チケットにドリンク券が2枚ついていて、1枚はウェルカムドリンク（ジュースorカクテルの2種から選択）、もう1枚は食後（数種のカクテルかワイン、ビール、ソフトドリンクから選択）に使いました。ウェルカムドリンクはほぼ強制的に回ってきます。無料の水は、食事の時にはなくなっていたので、もう1枚ドリンク券つけてほしかったと思いました。
・ショーの内容…★★★★　最後のファイヤーダンスが大迫力。ほかはハワイ以外にも様々な伝統舞踊が披露されました。それぞれ衣装も少しずつ異なり、なかなか興味深かったです。

豚丸焼きが出るような本格的なルアウではありませんが、伝統舞踊をお手軽に見たい方にはよいかと思います。ちなみに、日本人は意外に（？）全体の3割くらいで、欧米人が多かったです。

Awesome experiemce! The food is no that good! Interesting history

It was a tour with my parents, and the food was delicious, and the show was fun, so I'm glad my parents seemed satisfied.

両親を連れてのツアーだったのですが、料理も美味しかったですし、ショーも楽しかったので両親も満足してくれた様で良かったです。

I went to see it on the last night of my trip. At first, I felt very lonely being there alone, but I was able to enjoy my meal with the people at my table. The show was amazing, and if you're going to Hawaii, it's definitely something you should experience!

今回は、最終日の夜に見に行きました。はじめは1人でとても心細かったですが、同じテーブルになった人達と楽しみながら食事が出来ました。
ショーもすごくて、ハワイへ行ったならぜひ行くべきです！

I heard it's a really great facility, so I participated in the deluxe option to watch the show from a nice seat.

The guide who showed us around the park was a student from a neighboring university. I was surprised to hear that most of the people performing in the show are also students. Honestly, I could feel a difference in energy depending on the guide... (laughs)

I also recommend participating in the backstage tour, where you can see the rehearsal scenes and the costume room before the show! The show from the third row was absolutely amazing! After it ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers!

On the bus ride there, the guide provided continuous sightseeing information, making it a fun tour all the way!

とってもいい施設だと聞き
ちょっといい席でショーを見ようとデラックスで参加しました。

園内を案内してくださるガイドの方は隣の大学の学生さんたち
ショーに出る人のほとんどもそうだと聞き、驚きでした。
正直、ガイドさんによってテンションの差は感じました。。。笑

ショーの前にリハーサル風景や衣裳部屋などバックステージツアーに参加するのもおすすめです！
3列目でのショーは見ごたえ抜群！終わった後はダンサーさんと写真を撮ったりできました！

行きのバスでもガイドさんがずーーーーと観光案内をしてくれていて
行くまでの楽しいツアーです♪

We love this luau!! The chef was super funny and he interacted with everyone at the luau. It was really personal and everyone was treated like family. We will def go back again. LOL Mahalo!!

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon, and I booked this show again for my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. We were able to watch the show in an open outdoor setting in Waikiki, and it seemed like my husband enjoyed it. The show is wonderful, but just like last time, the buffet (food) isn't particularly delicious, so it's best not to have high expectations (though the meat was good). We might not go for a third time, but I think it's worth seeing once. Also, please note that buses do not stop at the bus stop in front of the Hilton right now!

新婚旅行でハワイを訪れ、初ハワイの旦那さんのため、以前参加したこちらのショーを申込みしました。
ワイキキで、そして屋外という開放的な場所でショーを見られ、旦那さんも楽しんでいたようです。
ショーは素敵なのですが、前回同様ブッフェ（食事）は美味しいというわけではありませんので、あまり期待はしない方がいいです。（お肉は美味しかったようです）。
3回目はないかもしれませんが、一度観るには良いと思います。
あと今はヒルトン前のバス停にバスが止まらないので要注意です！

I had been curious about it but hadn't been able to go until now. It's far from Waikiki, but the student guide explained everything enthusiastically, so it wasn't a burden. The show had a story like a musical, and it was quite meaningful. I reserved the higher-priced seats and buffet, and I think that was the right choice. Even if you're in Waikiki, you still have to eat dinner somewhere, so the evening departure + dinner + round-trip transportation + show viewing isn't too expensive, and you don't have to think about various plans for the evening or search for a restaurant, which makes it convenient.

気になっていながら毎回行けてなく、今回初めて行きました。ワイキキから遠いですが、学生のガイドさんが一生懸命色々と説明してくれるので、苦ではなかったです。ミュージカルのようストーリーがあるショーで、意味深かったです。席もビュッフェも高い方を予約しましたが、そうした方が良いように思います。ワイキキにいてもどうせ晩ご飯はどこかで何か食べないといけないので、夕方出発 ＋ ディナー ＋ 往復送迎 ＋ ショー観覧は、そう高くもないぢ、まず夕方からの予定を色々考えなくて済むし、レストランを探す必要もなく楽です。

During my first visit to Hawaii, I signed up for this tour. First, we visited Hanauma Bay. The weather was nice, and the view from above was very beautiful! Next, we went to the Moanalua Gardens to see the "This is the Tree" tree. I had always wanted to see it, and when I finally stood in front of the tree, it was breathtaking! Although the sun was strong, it felt cool under the tree, and it was so comfortable that I could have stayed there for hours.

The Polynesian Cultural Center offered various cultural experiences, all of which were fresh and enjoyable. For the evening show, I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide, so even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy it. The final fire dance was breathtaking and spectacular. This tour is definitely worth experiencing at least once!

初めて訪れたハワイで、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
まずはハナウマ湾を見学。天気が良かった事もあり、上から見た眺めはとても美しかったです！
次に、この～木なんの木♪のモアナルアガーデンへ。一度は見てみたいと思っていたので、いざ木を目の前にした時は圧巻でした！日差しが強かったですが、木の下に入ると涼しく感じ、何時間でも居れるような心地よさでした。
またポリネシアカルチャーセンターは、様々な民族の体験ができ、どれも新鮮で楽しむことができました。
夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずとも楽しむことができました。最後のファイアーダンスは息を飲むような迫力で素晴らしかったです。一度は体験してみる価値があるツアーでした！

We opted to have dinner as well as the show. We had a great dinner along with a pre-show of hula dancers. After dinner, we were escorted to the show room. These performers were the best. At one point, I had to remind myself that these were impersonators. We saw Elvis, who was one of the best that we had ever seen. Lady Gaga was fantastic and Michael Jackson would have given the real Michael Jackson a run for his money on the moon walk. If you are in Waikiki, don't miss this show. Well worth it!

The bus tour guide was great but quite disappointed in the Center. Did not seem authentic Polynesian at all. The best time was the fire dance part of the show. The rest I could've skipped. Didn't feel like I learned anything real about the different cultures which was disappointing.

The guided tour is great for getting a good look around the spacious facility. Personally, can I explore freely? I chose the deluxe course for dinner, and every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The hula show incorporated various dances into a story about a young man overcoming challenges and growing, which made it very engaging. The audience was really excited, and it felt like everyone in the hall was enjoying themselves.

ガイドのついたツアーとなっているので、広い施設を一通り見て回るには良いですね。
個人的に、自由に回ってみることはできるのでしょうか？
ディナーはデラックスコースにしましたが、どのお料理も美味しくて見た目も華やかでした。
フラのショーは、一人の男子が挫折を乗り越えて成長していくというストーリーの中に、さまざまなダンスを織り込んでいて、ショーアップされています。観客もみなさんとても盛り上がって、ホール全体で楽しんでいる感じが良かったです。
