Oahu
Host is hilarious which I feel like makes this place stand out! My kids were laughin the night away.
In August, perhaps because it was a weekday, the crowd inside was just right. Since we got caught up in the fun despite the heat, the all-you-can-drink soft drinks were greatly appreciated.
At first, I thought it was odd to come to Hawaii just for a pool, but I believe those who enjoy water slides and thrill rides will definitely have a great time. If you're over 122 cm tall, you can ride all the slides.
Some slides may not allow certain footwear, so I recommend wearing easy-to-remove beach sandals for moving around the park. We participated in aqua shoes and had a bit of a struggle.
8月でも平日だったからか場内の混雑具合もほどよい感じでした。暑い中夢中になって遊ぶので、ソフトドリンク飲み放題がありがたかったです。
最初はハワイに来てわざわざプール…と思っていたのですが、ウォータースライダーや絶叫系が好きな方は間違いなく楽しめると思います。身長122cm以上あれば全てのスライダーに乗れます。
スライダーによっては履物NGの場合もあるので、場内の移動は脱ぎ履きしやすいビーチサンダルがおすすめです。うちはアクアシューズで参加してしまいちょっと苦労しました。
A very professional high-quality show filled with authentic elements of traditional cultures, like how they instantly made baskets out of coconut leaves. Particularly, the host was good, that he was able to play with fire while being a genuine comedian, making fun of lovers and kids in such a delightful way. True respect to the host, our chief that night!
At the entrance, there was someone who spoke Japanese and provided various explanations. Although the price included the paid bodyboarding attraction that I had researched before participating, it was closed. The staff at the entrance also said, "Please participate, it's really fun," but it was closed. I wondered why. I felt like I wanted a discount for that. (Especially since my child was looking forward to it.) Other than that, it was the same as the last time I participated; perhaps because it was a weekday, they opened the neighboring attractions in order.
入口には日本語が話せる方がいて、色々と説明して頂けました。
参加前に調べて頂いたボディーボードの有料アトラクション込みの料金なのにクローズでした。
入口のスタッフの方も、是非たのしいので参加してみてください。と言っていたのに クローズ。なぜ?と思いました。
なら、その分の値段を引いてもらいたいなぁと思ってしまうぐらいでした。
(子供が楽しみにしていたので余計)
それ以外は、以前も参加した時と同じ様に平日の為か隣同士のアトラクションを順番で開けていました。
I attended with children. We were looking forward to the lazy river, but it was closed all day. Including the transportation, it felt really expensive.
子供連れで参加しました。
流れるプール目当てだったのに、一日中クローズ。
送迎まで入れるとめちゃくちゃ高く感じました。
I had a great time with activities that you can't find in Japan. Some were thrilling, almost like an amusement park, and I couldn't help but shout out! There was also a children's zone where little ones could have fun.
There were no masks or social distancing, but I didn't mind since I went on a weekday. We took a shuttle bus and arrived around 10:30, and until about noon, it felt like we had the place to ourselves with hardly any wait time, which was comfortable! After that, it got a bit busier, but it was still good because we could ride after a short wait.
日本には無いアクティビティでとても楽しめました
プールというより遊園地のようなスリルがあるものもあり思わず声が出ちゃいました!!
子どものゾーンもあり小さなお子さまはそちらでも楽しむことが出来ます。
マスクやソーシャルディスタンスは全くありませんが、行ったのが平日だったからか気になりませんでした。
送迎バスで行き、10時30分ごろに着きましたが12時くらいまでは貸しきりのような状態でほとんど待ち時間無く快適でした!その後も少し混んではきたものの、少し待てば乗れたので良かったです
I went with my 6-year-old son and my husband. My son came back excited, saying, "I want to go again! The water slide was the best!!"
As for my husband, he said, "It was definitely fun, but we didn't have enough time at all. We chose the premium course, but it felt like a waste of time to go get drinks and food even with the all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat options, so I think a simpler course would be sufficient. The Japanese guide was with us only at the beginning and the end, but I appreciated the explanations. There was also time spent waiting in line, so we just didn't have enough time."
6歳息子と主人と2人で行ってきました。
息子は「また行きたい!ウォータースライダー最高!!」と興奮して帰ってきました。
主人の方は
「確かに楽しかったけど、時間が全然足りなかった。
プレミアムコースにしたけど、飲み放題や食べ放題でも飲み物や食べ物をとりに行く時間がもったいないから、シンプルなコースで十分だと思う。
日本語ガイドさんが最初と最後だけついてくれたけど、説明してくれたのはありがたかった。
列に並ぶ時間もあるから、とにかく時間が足りなかった。」と言っていました。
The cabana that I was supposed to have reserved was not actually booked, and it took a considerable amount of time at the reception. It was a waste of time. The driver's attitude was not friendly.
予約したはずのカバナが予約なっておらず受付でかなり時間がかかった。時間のロスでした。運転手の愛想が悪かった。
Even though it was summer vacation, we were able to participate in activities smoothly without waiting in line. The wave pool had large inner tubes available for free, which made the kids super excited. It was a lot of fun.
夏休みなのに、順番待ちもスムーズにアクティビティに参加できた。
波のプールも大きな浮き輪が無料貸し出しで子どものテンションが最高だった。
楽しかった。
I visited in early August. All the slides were operational, and although there was a bit of a wait, the kids had a great time.
8月上旬に行きました。スライダーなどは全て稼働していて、多少並びましたが、子供も思う存分楽しめました。
It was quite crowded with many locals on our Sunday reservation, but there were slides that the whole family could enjoy, and the kids were satisfied. We mainly swam in the wave pool and occasionally went on the slides. The Japanese guide recommended putting our belongings in a locker and securing a shaded table, but I think it would be sufficient to secure a cabana at the wave pool and use that as a base. The theme park opens at 10:30, which is a bit late, so I think it would have been better if the overall schedule was set a little later. However, the kids seemed happy. I would like to come again.
日曜日の予約で現地の方も多く混雑していましたが、家族で乗れるスライダーもあり、子どもは満足していました。ウェーブプールをメインに泳いで、時々スライダーに乗りに行くという感じでした。日本人の案内の方からは。ロッカーに荷物を入れたり、日陰のテーブルを確保することを勧められましたが、ウェーブプールにカバナを確保すればそこを起点に動くので十分だと思います。テーマパークのオープンが10:30と遅めなので、もう少し全体的なスケジュールを遅めに設定していただけるとより良かったかなと思いましたが、子どもは満足そうでした。また来たいです。
All the slides were fun! However, when considering the total experience, I think the cost performance is a bit high. The all-you-can-drink options aren't really worth it since you can't drink that much. The locker fee is also expensive. If it were a bit cheaper, I would want to go again.
滑り台全て楽しかったです♪
けど、トータルで考えるとコスパは少し高いかなぁと。
飲み放題のドリンクもそんなに飲めるものでは無いので不要。
ロッカー代も高い。
もう少し安かったら、また行きたいです。
I am so glad I booked this luau for my family and me. We all had such a good
time. The show was very entertaining to watch. We got to learn a lot about Polynesian culture. They also involve the audience as well. As for the food, it was great as well. There was a wide selection of food and dessert. If you want to have a good time and eat great food, I would recommend this. You also have the option of adding transportation which was great for us.
Overall very nice experience.
Food was better than anticipated and show was funny and very informative.
It is well organized as well.
A bit far and remote however was worth it and would highly recommend.
This was best luau show we have been to. The Chief was so funny and made the show. We loved the girls dancing and the guys with the fire were outstanding. The food was ok
Enjoyed the show more than anything. The food was okay. Noodles and bread were cold. Also the drink menu was limited. Enjoyed the bus ride there and even more on the way back as our bus driver dropo us of right in front of our hotel. The venue was also shared by a water park which in my opinion was a lot little tacky
We had a wonderful time. Great family entertainment. The food was good too. It was top notch entertainment with the local feel. Hawaii should be proud of the information given for the Polynesian culture. It was very enlightening and entertaining. I'd recommend this luau to anyone who is visiting the island. Please be kind to the staff, they are stars too. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
There is almost no support in Japanese. We participated as a family with children, but since we couldn't understand English, the kids got bored. I wouldn't recommend it if you can't speak English. Unless you really want to see the dance here, I wouldn't recommend it.
We were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and there was a show available for about the same price, so I regretted not going there as it would have saved us travel time.
日本語対応はほぼありません。
家族旅行で子連れで参加しましたが、英語が理解できないので、子供もあきてしまいました。英語ができない場合はおすすめしません。
英語で鑑賞したい、どうしてもここのダンスをみたいという希望でなければ、おすすめしません。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まっており、同じくらいの値段でショーがあったので、そちらでみたら移動時間も省けたのでと後悔しました。
My family and I had a wonderful time! This was a great experience for everyone and provided a true family memory. Thank you Cheif's Luau, I really enjoyed the show you put on.
Cheif's Luau is a MUST DO!!! This was our favorite thing we did on our entire trip to Hawaii. If possible, pay for transportation included. The ride to the luau was fun and informative - it was like a mini tour because the guide taught us some Hawaiian words, fun facts, gavw us cultural insights, and even made jokes! This was literally the best thing ever! This is perfect for everyone! Kid friendly, but also perfect for couples and families alike. In fact, the Luau was so great that I think mostly adults would appreciate all the effort made by Cheif and Tamatoa! Best fire show also!! 10/10
I stayed at Ko Olina and was a bit curious, so I went to check it out for my next trip with my grandchildren. Even as an elderly couple, we had a great time. We rented a cabana, which was a bit pricey, but it came with complimentary fruit and mineral water in the cooler, so it might be essential for shade. I've also made a reservation to take my grandchildren in July!
コオリナに宿泊してチョット気になっていたので次回の孫との旅行での下見のつもりで行って来ましたが老夫婦二人でも結構楽しめました、ガバナを借りましたがチョット高めですがフルーツとミネラルウォーターがクーラーボックスにサービスでついてくるので日除けには必須かもです
又7月に孫を連れて行く予約しましたよ〜!
Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.
I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.
Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.
6/4(日)のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで(日本のホテルのバイキング/ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン)、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。
I would say best luau on island as we have done a few in our few years!
There were few customers, and the wait time wasn't too long, but there were less than half of the available slides, which was unsatisfactory.
Still, I think it was good that the kids were having fun on the available slides.
Since meals weren't included, I ordered lunch from the concession stand, but the fries were salty and the hot dog was average. I understood that food at places like this tends to be expensive, but the quality was low. Moreover, even though I ordered five items and paid for them, one item didn't arrive. Normally, when paying by credit card, I would expect a receipt, but since they took the receipt when I picked up the food, I couldn't report that one item was missing.
I think the facility itself is a fun place to spend time, but if they are going to charge high prices, they should improve the quality of their staff a little more.
お客様は少なく待ち時間もさほどなかったのですが、空いているスライダーが半分以下で満足のいくものではなかったです。
それでも子ども達は空いているスライダーで楽しそうにしていたので良かったと思います。
食事がついていなかったので、売店で昼食を頼みましたがポテトはしょっぱくホットドックも普通で、こういう場所の食事なので高いのは分かっていましたが、クオリティーは低いです。しかも5つ頼んで料金も支払ったのに1つ来ませんでした。クレジット払いで普通は控えがあると思いますが、食事を受け取る際に控えを持っていかれた為レシートが手元になく頼んだものが1つ来ていないと言うことも出来ませんでした。
施設自体は楽しく過ごせる所だと思いますが、高い料金をとるならもう少しだけでもスタッフのクオリティーをあげた方がいいと思います。
The Chief was so funny and endearing.
The dancers were fabulous as were the fire dancers.
The fun really starts when you get on the nice air conditioned bus. Our host on the bus was hilarious all the way to our destination. The show is in a wetnwild but honestly I forgot about half way to the beginning of the show. The food was good and the dancers were better. The chief was also a funny man and although you do get this amazing entertainment, you also get a little bit of history of the people of the islands. Overall it was a great show. We even got a souvenir
On the day we visited, the Tornado was closed for maintenance, and it seemed that due to a staff shortage, only about three other slides were being opened alternately. It might have been because it was a weekday, but the park itself closed at 3 PM. I was hoping to enjoy a few more slides since it was a weekday, so I was a bit disappointed.
ちょうど私たちが訪れた日は、トルネードがメンテナンス中でクローズ、それ以外のスライダーも人手不足なのか、3つくらいを順番に交互に解放しているようでした。曜日的に平日と言うこともあるかもしれませんが、パーク自体も午後3時で閉園でした。平日なのでもう少し色々なスライダーを出来るかなと期待していたので、少し拍子抜けでした。
I was unsure whether to add the all-you-can-drink soft drinks, but I'm glad I did. Since it's hot, I could drink as much as I wanted without having to go back to the locker each time to throw away my cups. I also opted for the shuttle service. The slides had almost no wait, and even when I did wait, it was less than 5 minutes! With 5 hours, you can go around all the slides twice. I got really sunburned, so I recommend applying sunscreen frequently. The locker was available for the whole day, and I rented a small one for $15.
ソフトドリンク飲み放題つけるか迷いましたがつけてよかったです。暑いので何回でも飲めるのとすぐ捨てられるからいちいちロッカーに行かなくてすみます。送迎もつけました。スライダーはほぼ並ばずで待っても5分未満でした!5時間あれば全スライダー2周はできます。日焼けすごくしたのでこまめに日焼け止め塗るのがおすすめです。
ロッカーは1日開け放題で小さいロッカーを借りて15ドルでした。
Aloha Umedo,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Aloha うめどぅ様、
貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
There were various slider-type attractions, and we had a great time. Before we knew it, it was already time to leave at 3 PM. Next time, I want to stay until the end with a rental car.
It was disappointing that my younger child, who is exactly 120 cm tall, couldn't participate in some activities. It's understandable since it's according to the rules, but it's better not to go if you're right on the edge of the height requirement.
Also, I wasn't happy with the waiting time in the lunch purchase line. Only one representative from the family waited for over 30 minutes. Since outside food is not allowed, I wish they could manage the lines more efficiently. Therefore, I give it 4 stars.
スライダー系の遊具が色々あって、楽しめました。あっという間に帰りの出発時間15時でした。
次はレンタカーで、終了までフルに居たいところです。
身長120cmジャストの下の子が、幾つかのアクティビティを通して貰えず残念でした。ルール通りなので致し方無いのですが、ギリギリアウトの身長で行かない方が良いですね。
あと、ランチ購入列の待ち時間だけは、いただけなかったです。家族の代表一人だけですけど30分以上並びました。持ち込み禁止ですし、だったらもっと効率良く回して欲しいです。
なので、⭐4です。
Aloha Hanamaru Papa,
Thank you for your feedback. We are looking to address the lines when purchasing lunch. Moving forward, we will ensure that lunch can be purchased at different locations.
We look forward to your next visit.
Aloha はなまるパパ、
ご意見を頂きありがとうございました。ランチをご購入いただく際の行列は何とかしたいと思っております。これからは違う場所でもランチが買えるようにしてまいります。
是非又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
