All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

I was able to go to the Rock-A-Hula Luau green room package. I got to go explore backstage and get a tiny glimpse of how all the action happens. I also got to take a picture with Michael Jackson before the show. The staff and crew members were very kind and made sure that everything was to my liking. I described this show as a Luau like no other because it was a Luau with a twist. All the music were the classics from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the local culture included into the dance routine and into the stage outfits. The show also featured a local girl with a beautiful voice. For those who would like to watch a Luau in cushioned chairs and indoors I would definitely recommend this Luau to you!

The atmosphere of the cruise felt like being in Hawaii, which was great! If you can speak English, I think it would be fun to communicate with various people.

Since it was Friday, we were able to see an impressive fireworks display.

クルーズの雰囲気がハワイに来た感じがしていいです！
英語が話せれば、いろんな人とコミュニケーションが取れるので、楽しいと思います。

金曜日でしたので、迫力のある花火がみれました。

I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly in the seats in front of the stage. I appreciated the smooth change to non-alcoholic options for one person who couldn't drink. After the live show, we were also guided to the nearby fireworks that take place every Friday, which added to our enjoyment.

ステージの前の席で十分楽しむことができました。
お酒が飲めない1名に対してノンアルコーへの変更もスムーズで有難かったです。ライブの後、毎週金曜日に行われている近くの花火への案内もしていただき更に楽しむことができました。

I splurged a little and made a reservation for a VIP seat by the stage. First, we took photos with the star (playing the role of Elvis Presley), then enjoyed some snacks while sipping Mai Tais at the VIP welcome reception. We entered our seats next to the stage through the VIP entrance, and started our meal from the menu in the attached photo. The show began around the time we finished eating.

We enjoyed performances by Johnny Fortuno as Elvis Presley, Corey Melton as Michael Jackson, and Siena Sousa (a singer-songwriter based in Honolulu), along with hula dancing by Rock-a-Hula dancers. The highlight was the fire knife dance, and we were thoroughly entertained in the best seats, leaving us very satisfied. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after receiving a 10% discount, I was very pleased with the experience and the content.

少し奮発して、ステージサイドVIP席で予約をしました。
最初にスター（プレスリ役）の人との写真撮影、その後VIPウェルカムレセプションでマイタイを飲みながらおつまみをいただき、VIP専用口からステージ横の席へ、添付写真のメニューの食事開始、食事が終わったころにショーが始まりました。
エルビス・プレスリー by ジョニー・フォーテューノ、マイケル・ジャクソン by コーリー・メルトン、シエナ・スーザ (ホノルルを拠点にするシンガー・ソングライター)による歌とロック・ア・フラダンサーによるフラダンス、圧巻は
ファイアーナイフダンスと盛りだくさんで飽きることなく一番良い席で大満足の鑑賞をすることができました。
最初は少し高い思っていましたが、10%割引きしてもらって、内容もよく大満足でした。

This was my second time on a catamaran, and it was still amazing. The best part is that there are not many Japanese people, so I could fully enjoy the sunset cruise in Hawaii. The crew was also quick and responsive, which made for a pleasant experience.

今回2度目のカタマランでしたが、やはり最高でした。何といっても日本人が少ないことが良いです、ハワイ、サンセットクルーズを満喫出来ます。クルーの方も機敏で対応が良く気持ち良かったです。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to see an authentic hula dance show, so I booked this VIP course. I was excited as soon as I walked on the red carpet, and the welcome drink followed by dinner at the VIP seats was delightful. The lobster, along with the main steak and salmon, was satisfying in both volume and service. It was also great to be smoothly guided through the VIP entrance.

The show started with a surprise when a man was lowered upside down right in front of us (even though I had heard about it beforehand). The hula and Polynesian dances were of outstanding quality, and I was captivated by the professional performances. The dancers were incredibly sharp! The impersonations of Elvis and Michael were very well done, and the songs were perfectly suited to our generation (in our 60s), allowing us to enjoy the show from start to finish. The fireman show, where they handled flaming torches, left me in awe—how could they hold those?! I was overwhelmed the entire time.

I also purchased a photo taken with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to come back to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

初めてのハワイ旅行で、本場のフラダンスショーを見てみたいと思い、こちらのVIPコースを予約してもらいました。まず通されるレッドカーペットに気持ちが盛り上がり、ウェルカムドリンクからの、VIP席でいただくディナー。ロブスターをはじめ、メインのステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームもサービスも満足いくものでした。VIP用入り口からスムーズに案内していただけたのもよかったです。
ショーは、まず目の前に降りてきた逆さ吊りの男性に驚き（事前に聞いていたのに）、
フラ、ポリネシアンダンスはクオリティが素晴らしく、プロのパフォーマンスに釘付けになりました。ダンサーのみなさんの身体のキレがすごい！ エルビス、マイケルのモノマネも、非常に上手く、また私たちの年代（60代）にがっちり合った曲ばかりで、最初から最後まで楽しめました。 火のついたたいまつを操るファイアーマンショーは、目の前で見ても、何故あれを持てるのか！？ 終始圧倒されました。
マイケルと一緒に撮った写真も購入して、とっても良い思い出になりました。また、ハワイに来る際には観にきたいと思います。

I thought I wouldn't be able to expect a good meal with a dinner cruise, so I chose a sailing option with free-flow drinks. Although I'm not great on boats, I didn't feel any seasickness at all. The sunset, with its blend of orange and blue turning into pink, was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved to tears by the beauty of nature.

They served alcohol, including Mai Tais and champagne, and for a quick two-hour activity before dinner, it was affordable and just right.

The cruise takes you right in front of Diamond Head from the Sheraton. You can take plenty of picturesque photos.

Overall, I was healed by the beauty of the sky that can only be appreciated from the sea.

ディナー付のクルージングだと食事が期待できないと思い、フリーフロードリンク付きのセイリングを選びました。船に弱い私ですが、船酔いは全くなく、サンセットと、オレンジと水色が混ざり合って、ピンクにもなった空がそれはそれは素晴らしく綺麗で、自然の美しさに涙が出ました。
アルコールもマイタイやシャンパンも出て、ディナー前に2時間程のクイックアクティビティとしては、お手頃でちょうど良かったです。
シェラトンからダイアモンドヘッドの目の前まで行ってくれます。
絵になる写真もたくさん撮れますよ。
とにかく海からしかわからない空の美しさに癒されました。

It was truly amazing. There were only three couples, including us, who were Japanese participants, but we had a great time. That day, there was someone celebrating a birthday, and everyone got so excited that we almost forgot about the sunset. We will definitely go again next time.

本当に最高でした。日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦を含め3組だけでしたが楽しかったです。その日、誕生日の人がいて、サンセットを忘れるくらい全員で盛り上がりました。次回も必ず行きます。

The crew is really great, the views are hard to beat, and it was an easy process to find/board the boat. Recommend this tour — we had a blast and met a lot of nice people.

What an incredible experience. The sights were gorgeous, the boat was very safe and enjoyable to be aboard. The crew were exceptionally accommodating to each and every guest. This was our first time to Waikiki Beach and the catamaran sunset cruise was without a doubt one of the most memorable times. We will retire and share this sunset cruise again.

The crew was very friendly and kept our drinks full.
My only complaint is that we just sailed straight out from the
hotel and then back. I would have liked sailing down by Diamond Head
and back, just saying.

It was really great. There were a lot of dishes, but it was a bit difficult to line up. The show was wonderful.

すごく良くよかったです。料理は沢山ありましが、並ぶのが少し大変でした。ショウは素晴らしいものでした。

This is a tour that allows you to easily enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea. Since it's a Friday night cruise, you can enjoy watching the Hilton fireworks. The night breeze can be a bit chilly, so I think a jacket is necessary. I felt that there were more non-Japanese participants. When getting on and off the boat, your feet may get wet from the waves, so please wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

海からワイキキの景色をお手軽に楽しめるツアーです。金曜の夜のクルージングなのでヒルトンの花火を観ながら楽しむことができます。夜風は少し肌寒いので上着が必要だと思います。日本人以外の方の方が多かったように感じました。乗る時降りる時波で足が濡れるので、濡れても良い服装で参加してください〜

The sunset cruise last time was on the Star of Honolulu, but this one was definitely more fun. The captain, crew, and guests were all amazing! The champagne was unlimited, and it was so enjoyable that I ended up drinking too much. I hit it off with other guests on board, and after disembarking, we all got together and had a great time. It was really fun, and the sunset was beautiful... I highly recommend it.

前回のサンセットクルーズはスターオブホノルル号でしたが、断然こちらの方が楽しかったです。
キャプテンもクルーもお客様も最高♪
シャンパンも飲み放題で楽しくて飲みすぎちゃうくらいでした。乗り合わせたほかの方とも意気投合して下船したあとはご一緒して盛り上がりました。
ほんとに楽しくてサンセットも美しくて…。
おすすめです。

I attended Rock-A-Hula for the first time this past week and it was really entertaining! I went with a couple friends and we chose the Green Room Tour. With this package we were sat at a stage-level table so we were closest to the performers. The three course meal included lobster, beef tenderloin, salmon and was completed with a yummy mac-nut pineapple gelato. The cocktails were really good, my favorite was the lychee martini! It was really fun to be able to take photos with Michael Jackson before the show and they also offered us a complimentary glass of champagne. The show was very exciting and entertaining; my favorite performer was the local artist Meliana. All of the dancers, musicians, and singers were very talented and seemed like they all had a ton of fun up on stage. Overall, it was a great night and I would recommend it to anyone on vacation wanting a fun and entertaining night out.

First, before entering the venue, I enjoyed stylish drinks and snacks. I was surprised by the luxurious atmosphere from the start!

During dinner, I was delighted to have dishes like lobster and coconut ice cream that made me feel like I was in Hawaii. At the show, I got to see the hula dance performance I was looking forward to, along with songs from a rock singer. The hula dancers each showcased their unique and captivating styles, which was a lot of fun. The most memorable and exciting part was the songs and dances of Michael Jackson. On the way back, I even got to take a photo with Michael Jackson!

I was very satisfied with the luxurious dinner and show! I highly recommend it if you come to Hawaii!

まず、会場に入る前におしゃれな飲み物とおつまみを楽しめました。初めから豪華でびっくりです！
ディナーでは、ロブスターやココナッツアイスなどが食べられ、ハワイを感じられる料理で嬉しかったです。ショーではお目当てのフラダンスショーに、ロック歌手の歌を聞くことができました。フラダンスでは、ダンサー1人ひとりの個性ある魅力的なダンスを見ることができ楽しかったです。また、一番印象に残り、盛り上がったのはマイケルジャクソンさんの歌とダンスでした。帰りにマイケルジャクソンさんと写真も撮ってもらいました！
豪華なディナーとショーで大満足です！！ハワイに来たらとてもおすすめです！

Although there was a delay from the meeting point to departure, I really enjoyed the time spent on the boat thanks to the thoughtful arrangements. The Mai Tai was truly delicious.

待ち合わせから出発までが遅れましたが、船上でゆっくりと過ごせるよう配慮くださりとても楽しめました。マイタイ本当に美味しかったです。

The content of the show was diverse and very enjoyable without being boring.

When you arrive at the reception, you need to obtain a printed paper with a barcode. Just to be safe, I arrived around 16:40, and there were only about two groups ahead of me in the general line. Since you sit in a vertical line, if you arrive late, you might end up behind tall people, making it hard to see, so I recommend arriving early. Those with priority definitely get in before the general admission, so there is quite a wait between entry and the commemorative photo session. Even after being seated, you have to wait for those who arrived later, so it can feel long while holding a drink. With the buffet-style food, you can only go around once, and because there are many people, you will have to wait. I recommend taking a larger portion of food. If you don’t mind waiting, it’s not a problem, but since it’s in a foreign country with English all around, it can feel like you're waiting longer than the time spent watching the show. However, surprisingly, there were no children throwing tantrums, perhaps because they understood it was a special place.

ショーの内容はバラエティ豊かで飽きずにとても良かったです。

受付に到着したら、バーコードが印字された紙の発行が必要です。念のため16：40ごろに到着したら、一般では前には2組ほどしかいなかったです。縦並びに座るので遅くくると背の高い人の後ろになって見にくくなるので、早めがオススメです。一般より上の方が断然優先なので、入場から記念撮影の間がとにかく待ちます。着席しても、今度は後ろに並んでる人から遅めにきた人まで待つのでドリンク片手に長い。1周しか取れないブュッフェスタイルのフードを取るにも、人数が多いだけあって待ちます。フードは多めに取ることをお勧めします。並ぶのは苦じゃない方ですが、異国で英語が飛び交う中なので、ショー見てる時間より長いんじゃないかって感じてしまいます。でも、子供は意外にも特別な場所ということが分かるせいかぐずってる子はいませんでした。

I was unsure at first, but choosing the VIP course was definitely the right decision. You can get excited right away at the VIP entrance with the red carpet. The dinner was delicious and the portion size was just right; I was almost completely satisfied except for the drinks being a bit weak. In the VIP seats, the cast comes down to the floor, creating a great sense of connection with the stage. You can take photos as long as you don’t use a flash! I thought it was a show that truly represents Hawaii.

迷いましたがVIPコースで大正解でした。レッドカーペットのVIP入場口でまず盛り上がれます。ディナーもおいしく量もちょうどよく、ドリンクが薄いこと以外はほぼ満足でした。ＶＩＰ席はキャストがフロアまで下りてきてくれるので、舞台と一体感がありますよ。フラッシュ無しであれば撮影もＯＫ！ハワイならではのショーだと思いました。

We participated as a family. My daughter, who is 21 and has a baby face, was checked for ID, but after that, we had a great time with the captain and crew. They were very accommodating with photos, and their service spirit was wonderful. It seems that the number of Japanese participants has been increasing year by year.

家族での参加でした。娘が21歳で（童顔）IDチェックされましたが、その後、キャプテンやクルーと楽しく過ごしました。写真撮影も気軽に応じてくれてサービス精神も素晴らしいです。日本人の参加者も年々増えてきたように思います。

I was considering a show at the Polynesian Cultural Center located in the northeast of Oahu, but I made a reservation for this dinner show at the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is very conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki. The female singer's vocal ability, the impersonator of Michael Elvis, and the dancers' sharp performances provided an emotional entertainment experience from start to finish. The show also featured hula and fire dancing, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. The meal included a lobster appetizer and a double main of salmon steak, which was quite substantial. The service staff were also very pleasant.

オアフ島北東にあるポリネシアカルチャーセンターのショーを検討していましたが、こちらのディナーショーはワイキキの真ん中にあるロイヤルハワイアンセンターというアクセスがとても便利なロケーションなので予約しました。女性シンガーの歌唱力やマイケル・エルビスのそっくりさん、ダンサーたちのキレキレのパフォーマンスで最初から最後まで感動のエンターテイメントでした。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも散りばめられて、ハワイの雰囲気もしっかり味わえました。食事はロブスターの前菜とサーモン・ステーキのダブルメインでボリュームたっぷり。サービススタッフも感じがよかったです。

I ordered show tickets only (with a photo option on a backing card) for my 0-year-old child. We entered as soon as the doors opened and first took some photos. After that, we sat in the free seating area, but it's better to arrive early to get a good spot. Since I had a child with me, I planned to change the diaper in the venue's restroom, but there was no changing table, so be careful. I had to go outside to find a restroom on the same floor. This was my second time at the show, and it was fun because the cast seemed to change frequently. This time, there was Presley, Michael, and a female singer from Hawaii?

0歳の子連れでショーチケットのみ（台紙付き写真オプション）を頼みました。開場と同時に中に入り、まずは写真を撮影します。
そのあと自由席で着席するのですが、早めに行く方が良い場所を取れます。
子連れだったのでおむつ替えを会場トイレでしようと思ったのですがおむつ替えの台がないので要注意、一旦外に出て同じフロアのトイレに行きました。
ショーは2回目ですが、キャストが色々変わるみたいで楽しかったです。
今回はプレスリー、マイケル、ハワイ出身の女性歌手？でした。

Elvis Presley is from a different generation, but Michael Jackson really got the crowd going. It was fun with a mix of hula dancing and fire dancing. I chose to attend the show only without the buffet, and that was enough. Although we were told to gather at 7:30, we had to wait a bit until the show started at 8. I think it would have been nice to enter the venue a little earlier than 8.

エルビスプレスリーは世代が違うのですが、マイケルジャクソンは盛り上がりました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも入り混ざってて楽しかったです。
ビュッフェなしショーのみの観覧を選択しましたが、十分でした。7時半集合との事でしたが、8時のショー開始まで少し待たされました。8時まえに会場入りしてもよかったかなと思います。

I went to see it with my mother 25 years ago, and it became a wonderful memory. This time, we decided to go again after a long while. The food was very delicious. The stage performances, with live bands, featured amazing singing and dancing. I was happy to feel like I met the late Michael, and IZ's singing voice was also remarkably similar. Both Elvis and Michael had powerful voices even with their intense dancing, and I thought they were true professionals. There were also hula and Polynesian dances, allowing for a variety of enjoyable elements. This time also became a great memory. The people at the table next to us mentioned it was their second time during this trip. I highly recommend it!

25年前に母と二人で見に行き楽しい思い出になっています。
今回久しぶりに行ってみようと言うことになりました。
お食事はとても美味しかったです。
ステージも生バンドに合わせて歌やダンスが素晴らしかったです。
亡くなったマイケルに会えたようで嬉しかったし、IZの歌声もそっくりでした。
エルビスもマイケルも激しい踊りでもとても声量がありプロだなぁと思いました。フラやポリネシアンダンスもあり色々な要素で楽しめます。
今回もいい思い出になりました。
お隣のテーブルの方はこの旅行中に2回目だと話していました。
おススメです！

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

I used to go to the Royal Shopping Center every time, but I didn't realize there was a hall. The show combined Hawaii's history and music with performances including impersonations, hula dancing, and fire dancing. The way it was structured, rather than just presenting in order, provided a great understanding of the historical context, and it was very good.

ロイヤルショッピングセンターには毎回行ってましたがホールがある事に気付きませんでしした、ショーの内容はハワイの歴史と音楽を融合された演出でものまねとフラダンス、ファイヤーダンスとただ順番で出てくるのではない組み立ては時代背景もわかりとても良かったです

I would definitely recommend the Five Star package if you're having trouble deciding which package to choose from! It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!

I participated in this tour because I wanted a luxurious meal on my last day in Hawaii, where I had been cooking for myself in a condominium. There was no shuttle service since we headed directly to the hall. Upon entering, light snacks and wine were served, which really boosted my spirits. Since it was during the Bon holiday, about 80% of the guests were Japanese. Given the current circumstances, there were many solo travelers. In such situations, I prefer to share a table with others, but there was no consideration for that.

Dinner was served at tables set up in front of the stage. The food, lobster and steak, was not exceptionally delicious but had a safe flavor. Alcohol was free for one drink, and after that, it was paid. I ordered a Blue Hawaii for $10.

During the meal, a photographer circulated around, taking pictures and later trying to sell them for $25. Although I knew I wouldn't look at them later, I ended up buying one.

After about an hour and a half of dinner, people started coming into the second-floor seats. The show began at 8 PM, starting with hula dancing. Next, a man hung upside down from the ceiling and dropped coins onto the tables. There was a performance featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Of course, they were impersonators, but they were really good at it. Following that was a fireman show, skillfully handling torches with flames. The packed show ended at 9:30 PM.

The meal was not bad, and the show was good. Considering the atmosphere, I found the price reasonable. I think I would be willing to see the same show again.

　ハワイではコンドミニアムで自炊していたので、最後の日は豪華な食事を、とこのツアーに参加した。
　ホールには直接向かうので送迎はない。入場すると軽食とワインが振る舞われていてテンションがあがる。盆休みとあって客の8割は日本人だった。ご時世なのでおひとりさまも多い。こんな時、私は相席の方が嬉しいのだが、そういう配慮はなかった。
　ディナーはステージの前に設けられたテーブル。料理はロブスターとステーキですごく美味しいわけではないが無難な味だった。アルコールは1杯だけ無料でその後は有料。ブルーハワイを頼んだら10ドルだった。
　食事中は写真屋が巡回していて、勝手に撮影してあとで売りつけに来る。25ドル。あとで見ることはないのについつい買ってしまった。
　1時間半ほどのディナーのあと、2階席にぞろぞろ人が入ってきた。20時にショーが開演。まずはフラダンス。続いて天井から逆さ釣りになった男がテーブルにコインを落とすパフォーマンス。エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンのショー。もちろん偽物なのだがこれが実に真似が上手い。その後は火の点いたたいまつを自在に操るファイアマンショー。盛りだくさんのショーが終わったのは21時30分。
　食事も悪くなかったし、ショーもよかった。雰囲気込みでこの値段なら納得できる。同じのをもう一度観てもいいかなと思います。

I'm a repeat visitor. Ending my stay in Hawaii with "Evening Sailing" is becoming a tradition. Time flows leisurely, and with a Mai Tai in hand, I feel pleasantly tipsy. I highly recommend it for mature couples.

リピーターです。ハワイ滞在の締めくくりは「イブニングセーリング」が恒例化しつつあります。ゆったりとした時間が流れ、マイタイ酒でほろ酔い気分、熟年夫婦にはお勧めです。

We participated as a couple, and the staff were friendly. The all-you-can-drink option was great, and the sunset from the sea was the highlight. The boat does sway quite a bit, and getting on and off the boat from the sandy beach requires some caution, but people of all ages were enjoying themselves.

夫婦2人で参加しましたが、スタッフも気さくで、飲み放題、何より海上からの夕日が最高です。結構揺れることと、船への乗り降り（砂浜から）が少し注意要りますが老若男女さまざまな世代の人が楽しんでいました。
