Oahu
The Luau dinner and Rock-A-Hula are situated at a very convenient location. The Luau buffet-style dinner had many different options including roast pig and dessert. The line was moving a bit slow. Not enough time to enjoy the food. The Rock-A-Show was very good. Really enjoyed the hula dancers and singing. Overall it is a great activity if you like dinner and show.
Our experience was amazing!!
The staff was super nice and knowledgeable about sharks.
Thank you, Andy, Erin, and the captain so much for an unforgettable experience.
First time attending to this Luau and Polynesian Show called Rock -A-Hula. The dinner and show took place at a very convienent location along the Waikiki Beach. Getting situated to the seating was very easy. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. The dinner itself had a good variety buffet style and was tasty. Overall the line on waiting for the food could have been better. Took me appx 30 minutes before I was lining up for the buffet line. By the time I got my food, only had about 30 minutes left to eat. Felt a little rushed. The Rock-A-Hula definitely is a must see. Very nice production, dancers were great, and singers were impressive. Overall I highly recommend doing this activity.
I enjoyed seeing Jupiter, Mars , Saturn and various stars through a powerful telescope. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable pointing out lots of constellations that are visible to the naked eye. The sky was very clear, so we were able to see a lot.
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars !
Upon arrival to the Luau we were greeted by a young lady selling beautiful purple lei’s. Of course we had to have one not only for the beauty, but the feeling of being welcomed in to the community as well.
The host/dancer/MC/ bartender was extremely friendly with everyone. We were ushered to our seats by a wonderful young man that not only performed at the luau, but also at Rock a Hula. This young man was full of passion for the culture and the love of dance.
The drinks and pineapple were at great start to our dinner as well as the traditional dancing while we waited for the main course.
There was plenty of dishes to chose from including seafood, pork, beef, chicken, and even vegetarian choices. I personally recommend the fried pig skin as it was the absolute most delectable dish we were privy to enjoy during our visit. After dinner we tried each of the 5 different desserts. None of them blow your socks off, but are nonetheless tasty as well. There is also after dinner coffee for those of you who enjoy a nice hot cup of Joe before the Rock a Hula.
You could order drinks during dinner and before the Rock a Hula began as well.
The choice of a local musician and singer was a wonderful way to start the show. The classic Elvis performance seemed to fit the show perfectly and added to the fun filled and interactive show. The only thing that felt out of place was the Michael Jackson performance. While it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t seem to fit in to the rest of the event in general. I would give the luau and Rock a Hula a 7 out of 10 stars.
The guides were great the views are awesome! Guides help you through everything and make the tour even better
Overall we got exactly what we were expecting, which, for us, was actually refreshing. So many businesses mislead these days. We were happy with our experience and pleasantly surprised at the Rock A Hula show afterwards.
Our first impression was great. The setup under the large tents and the decor and dishware were all very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and immediately served our complimentary Mai Tai and offered fresh pineapple at the table. We ordered more adult beverages and while they tasted fine, did not seem to have much if any alcohol in them. The MC did a good job of keeping things running smoothly and had an upbeat attitude. We enjoyed the dancers and learning to hula felt very welcoming. They presented the roasted pig with the traditional apple in its mouth. Definitely try some along with the crispy skin. We found the food at the buffet somewhat bland, but that was our experience throughout most of Hawaii.
After dinner we proceeded to the large theater for the show. This presentation is much bigger and longer than we anticipated. We would attend this show by itself without the dinner and pay handsomely for it. The Elvis and MJ impersonators were great! The charisma and crowd interactions of both of them and other entertainers were spot on! The show is a bit long and disjointed though. And while we do love MJ and his songs, some seemed a bit "off-brand" for a Hawaiian themed hula show. Thriller was one, even though the zombies were great and so was Michael.
Overall we'd give the luau and show a 7 out of 10. Food and drinks could be better and show could be shorter and more on-brand. We would still highly recommend it, especially for the price.
Jess, Emma & horses were ALL AWESOME! Gentle, beautiful horses, great guides, beautiful location.helped make my MAW Kid’s trip a HUGE success!
Great experience! We also used the shuttle service and we’re able to look and enjoy the scenic drive while the driver told us about the areas we passed.
The check in and out process were quick and smooth as long as you have reservation. You can pay by card too.
You can rent out the kayaks and snorkeling gear on site.
Debriefing session is nice and short and they give you a map and show you the best spots to snorkel and sandbar.
The only hard thing is that it is hard to determine where the snorkeling parts were at even with the map. Once you are at sea, its hard to find landmarks. Adding landmarks would be helpful. The sandbar was so nice!
Aloha Lance! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and thank you for taking the time to leave this review and feedback for us. We really appreciate that. Looks like you had a beautiful day at the sandbar. That's great. Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
The weather was great and I had an amazing time. The friendliness of the crew was very pleasant. I would like to use this service again next time.
お天気も良く最高に楽しかったです。クルーの皆さんのフレンドリーさが心地よい。次回も利用したいと思います。
The tour was a small group of four people, my wife and I along with another Japanese couple, and our guide. It was my first experience riding a horse, and at first, I was scared and anxious until I got used to it. But after about 30 minutes, it became fun, and the horse was so well-behaved that I felt safe riding! The magnificent views of Kualoa and the ocean were breathtaking, and the breeze was pleasant. I highly recommend it over a bus tour!!! The only downside was that, since there were only Japanese people, there was no announcement about this area being a filming location for Jurassic Park... I wish there had been some explanation in English...
私達夫婦ともう1組の日本人夫婦の4人とガイドさんの少人数でのツアーでした。
乗馬初体験で最初は怖くて、慣れるまで不安でしたが30分も経つと楽しくなって、馬もお利口なので安心して乗れました!
クアロアの壮大な絶景と海が見えて
風が心地よいし、バスツアーよりもオススメです!!!
残念だった点は、日本人しかいないせいか
このエリアがジュラシックパークの撮影地だったとかそういったアナウンスが一切なかったことです…
英語で良いから説明が欲しかった…
The list of places to visit is nicely curated and I think we had enough time to walk around each site, take photos, and even buy souvenirs. Our guide, Jojo, was fantastic. He had too many stories to tell to keep us entertained and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's culture, history, and ecology.
The only downside of this tour was that you are on a large bus so, if you are picked up last and have a seat at the back of the bus, you're going to spend a lot of time going on and off. However, Jojo knew that this might be frustrating and started counting time right after the last person was out.
The bus was clean and the lunch was ok.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide... : )))

We attended the Chief's Luau and had a great time. The meal was very good, and the show was outstanding. The chief himself was very entertaining and funny.
So good, I want to return to try out other experiences! Everything was great. I'm not normally a picture taker, but I took dozens this day. Lunch was awesome too.
I was able to experience the great outdoors on horseback. It was an environment that cannot be enjoyed in Japan. The horses were calm and safe. However, one downside was that the instructions were only in English, so I couldn't understand most of the explanations, which was a bit disappointing.
大自然を馬にのって感じることができました。
日本では味わえない環境でした。
馬もおとなしくて安全でした。
ただ、一つ、英語のみの案内なので、説明はほとんど分からなかったのがさみしかったです。
Great communication, and a very beautiful lei presentation! Made us feel very welcome to Hawaii and a great first experience on our vacation. Definitely worth the money.
Four years ago, it was canceled due to a hurricane. I thought the prices were high for optional tours in Hawaii due to inflation and the weak yen, but I decided to give it another try for the memories. At first, I was a bit scared, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the view of the high-rise hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.
前回(4年前)はハリケーンでなくなく中止。久しぶりのハワイは物価高と円安でオプショナルツアーも高いなあと思っていましたが、想い出に再トライしました。
最初は少し怖かったけど、すぐに慣れて、海からみるワイキキの高層ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドを楽しみました。
Such a lovely cruise so well organised from start to finish crew and staff couldn’t do enough for you so nice and friendly great evening food good as well
This was my second visit since 2019. I felt there were a few more people than last time, but compared to the crowds in Japan, the wait times for attractions were shorter, and I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly!
2019年以来2度目の利用でした。
前回よりも少し人が多いと感じましたが、日本の混雑に比べるとアトラクションに並ぶ時間も短くて、たっぷり楽しめました!

We spent the morning ATV riding. The guide was informative and made sure we had time on the trail to ask questions at our designated stops. What beautiful views and what a beautiful property. Certainly well taken care of and great example of sustainablility and steward of the land.
We had an amazing time. The crew was awesome, the views were amazing and the food was good too!!!
It was a great beginner class, got to see lots of fish, and a star fish. Great first time experience.
I felt a bit guilty about riding the horse itself, but I was able to experience a very precious time!
お馬さんに乗ること自体お馬さんに申し訳ない気持ちでしたが、とても貴重な時間を体験することができました!
We had an awesome tour guide! Unfortunately, can’t recall his name!
The guide was very friendly, kind and helpful. The horses were really smart and well trained. It was the first time for us to do horse riding, but nothing was difficult and had a really good time spending time enjoying the beautiful beach while riding the cute horses. We enjoyed this activity the most between all the things we did during our vacation in Hawaii.
The transportation to this place was a bit poor. We took Uber to this place and tried to schedule an Uber/Lyft for going back before hand but it was unavailable around this spot. On the way back, there was no Uber/ Lyft available so we had to use taxi which cost us triple. I would recommend renting a car to get to this place or set up a taxi pick up in advance so you wouldn’t have to worry.
The activity itself was really good and it was worth paying all the cost getting here and going back as well.
We would definitely want to go back next time we visit Oahu again!
This was a great experience and a definite must if your visiting Oahu. Kayaking over coral reefs and clear blue green water. It was so nice to walk around on the sandbar surrounded by beautiful water. The staff were all so helpful and knowledgeable. It was easy to find and easy to book. So glad we did it!
Aloha Corrine! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review for us. We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear you had a great experience out there and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
We participated as a family, and we were the only Japanese people there. When I conveyed that I wasn't very good at English in broken phrases, the captain said, "No problem." Anyway, all four crew members worked hard, were attentive to the guests, and were very friendly, which felt great. The sky, which was cloudy in the morning, cleared up, and we were able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and a family of sea lions.
For snorkeling, they provided life jackets, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. However, after swimming, it gets very cold when the sea breeze hits you, so I think it's better to bring a towel (and a jacket) with you.
It became a wonderful memory.
家族で参加しましたが、日本人は私達だけ。あんまり英語が得意じゃないと、カタコトで伝えると、船長さんは、ノープロブレムと言ってくれました。とにかく4人のクルーがみんなよく働くし、お客さんのことも気にかけてくれて愛想がよく、気持ちがよかったです。朝は曇っていた空も晴れてきて、イルカやウミガメ、オットセイの親子も見られました。
シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを貸してくれるので安心して楽しめました。ただ泳いだあとは、海風に当たるととても寒いので、しっかりタオルを(上着も)持っていったほうがいいと思います。
いい思い出になりました。
Wow just wow. Fast UTV, beautiful farm ground! Thank you
Don and Austin were perfect guides! Lots of fun, history, and current events. I'll be back!
