The welcome from the admired Lei, the band, and the hula, along with the Tahitian show, was incredibly satisfying!
The show was wonderful, but the scenery was also amazing! The buffet had a variety of local dishes, and I felt like I could fully enjoy Hawaii on this tour.
There were few Japanese participants, mostly Americans, but I was able to enjoy the meal happily.
憧れのレイの歓迎、バンドやフラ、
タヒチアンショーを楽しめ大満足!
ショーも素晴らしかったけど景色も最高!
ビュッフェも郷土料理が揃っており、
思いっきりハワイを満喫できるツアーだと思いました。
日本人の参加者は少なくほとんどアメリカ人でしたが、
楽しくお食事を楽しむことができました。

In the background, there was Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach dyed in the sunset! It was so beautiful. My first Polynesian dance was truly wonderful and moving!
I really felt like I was in Hawaii, and it became a great memory.
バックには夕焼けに染まった

とてもキレイでした。
初めてのポリネシアンダンスが
とても素晴らしく感動!

My husband and I, had such an enchanting evening! Aha Aina is different from your typical "hula hula" type of luau. This event is authentic and very respectful. You have a wonderful storyteller "Uncle Joe", telling his stories about the hotel and his life growing up in Hawaii and how times have changed. You have tasty, mouthwatering appetizers that melt in your mouth! Delicious fruit drinks made upon your request with servers eager to assist you. This was such a wonderful change from those typical luaus that you would attend around the islands..such grand entertainment, succulent food and exceptional service! I would highly recommend this dinner show for people who want to experience what Hawaii actually has to offer!

Last year, I watched the New Year's Eve fireworks on the beach in Waikiki, and this year, I signed up to see the fireworks from the sea while enjoying delicious food. Upon entering the main entrance of DFS Galleria, I was greeted by a staff member in uniform. I was guided by bus to Aloha Tower, and there were guides at key points, which made me very excited about the upcoming cruise. Once on board, I was welcomed with champagne, and on the tables were props like hats and whistles to enhance the atmosphere, building up the excitement. Inside the ship, lively band music filled the air, and songs from various countries were performed upon request. Dishes were served on plates at the tables, and although I dislike meat, the lobster dish was more than enough for me. After a fun time with a dance segment for newlywed couples, the hula dance began. As various hula dances concluded, the countdown started, and fireworks and sounds echoed from Ko Olina and other places. Finally, a grand fireworks display began from the ship in front of Aloha Tower. Overwhelmed by the magnificence of the fireworks up close, I offered words of gratitude for the past year and prayed for a good year ahead for myself and my family, enjoying a wonderful moment. I sincerely thank everyone who made this amazing experience possible.
昨年ワイキキの浜辺で大晦日の花火を見て、今年は、美味しい食事を食べながら、海から花火を見ようと申し込みをしました。DFSギャラリアで、正面玄関に入っていくと制服を着た方が出迎えてくれました。アロハタワーまでバスで案内されましたが、要所要所で案内が立っており、これからのクルーズが、とても期待が持てました。船内に入るとウエルカムシャンペンをいただき、席には、帽子や笛など会場を盛り上げる小道具が置いてあり、いよいよ雰囲気が盛り上がります。船内では、軽快なバンドの音が鳴り響き、リクエストに応じて各国の歌が披露されていました。プレートに盛り付けた料理が卓上に置かれ、私は、肉が嫌いでしたがロブスター料理で十分でした。新婚さんカップルに対するダンスタイムなど楽しい時間の後、いよいよフラダンスの始まりです。さまざまなフラダンスが終了し、カウントダウンが始まるころコオリナや各地で花火や音が鳴り響きます。最後にアロハタワー前の船上から盛大な花火が始まりました。間近で見る花火の盛大さに圧倒されながら、過ぎゆく年に感謝の言葉を捧げながら、本年も私や家族にとって良い年でありますようにとお祈りしながら、楽しいひと時を過ごしました。素晴らしい時間を経験させていただいた皆様方に心から感謝申し上げます。

It was my first time visiting Hawaii, and I took my family to the Royal Celebration. We had a great time as a family learning, and experiencing the Hawaiian culture. It was a very unique and quiet interesting. The food was beyond my expectations, so so delicious, and the outdoor venue is perfect to watch the Waikiki Sunset, view of Diamond Head, and to watch some waves coming in to shore. Beautiful pink hotel and we can't wait to do it again in our next visit to Hawaii. It was definitely a different and once in a lifetime experience. It is not your typical Luau, this is royalty style celebration, and we loved every minute of it.
Thank you for the great experience!

Seating began a traditional ‘Oli (prayer) in the hall of the Royal Hawaiian. It was nice to know Hawaiians stick with protocol nowadays. One could almost feel as if being present at a Royal ball, after all, that is exactly what this Hotel was built for in the first place; which made the atmosphere quite unique.
As you approach the lawn and with your first drink you are invited to spooned portions of fresh Ahi Poke, Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon, and Poi. Story-teller Joe starts by introducing himself and went directly into explaining what ingredients each spoon held and how it applied to Hawaiian post-western contact life. At the same time others from the hula halau demonstrated how kapa was made, inks were produced and designs printed. Ropes were intertwined by hand and foot and other chores were explained by docent-like-ladies-in-waiting. The Pupu platter was my favorite with the skewered chicken, crab cakes, and Butterfish that melted in your mouth.
With a unique approach, each en

This was such a unique and a culture learning experience. We had a great time celebrating the history of Hawaii and its main events that occurred in the past. The food was delicious and quiet filling. The appetizer and the entree were my favorites. YUM! As you entered the Aha Aina, you're welcome with the many smiles from the staff, with their signature drink and their delicious pupus of Kalua pork, ahi poke, or poi. The staff were friendly, and the service was excellent! We will definitely recommend this event to our friends and family. We will do this again on our next visit to Hawaii!

I wish we had gone to the Royal Hawaiian Luau first since we went to another one on our first night in Honolulu and it was nothing compared to this one! The food was excellent! The teriyaki beef was tender, the kalua pork was incredibly flavorful (and they had a whole roasted pig as well!), the mahimahi was some of the best I have ever had and I even tried a bit of the poi (wasn't great, but I had to try it again!). The service was quick and friendly and the drinks were very yummy.
I liked the fact that the show is very engaging and all of the performers just shined on stage. It is a bit pricier than some of the other luaus, but it is definitely worth it!

We have been to 3 other Luau's the food was the best here. We had 11 in our party Parents, Grandparents, and Children. We had all booked seperatly but the staff did place us together and were extremely helpfull and attentive. Last year we went to Paradise cove and for the kids it has a lot more to do. But this was close to our hotel and we all had a good time. It was money and time well spent.

The last time I came to Honolulu, I went to Germaine's Luau (ICK!) and since I had such a miserable time with them, I decided to give luaus another chance and headed over to the Royal Hawaiian Luau with my boyfriend. I am SO glad that I went since it was a great experience and we had a really good time. The food was very delicious, the show was top-notch and it was really romantic.

Some friends and I got together to attend the Royal Hawaiian Luau at the large beautiful pink hotel of Waikiki and it was great. We were greeted with beautiful orchid flower leis at the entrance of the luau by the performers and immediately served a welcome mai tai. The whole setting of the feast was decorated with class and Oh-My-Goodness, the beach and the sunset was perfect to capture a photographic memory.
The host of the show did not waste anytime in welcoming all the guests preparing us for a wonderful feast and show. The food was delicious. There were several isles of Honolulu's most popular food and desert and lets not forget the huge roasted pig that everyone looked eager to taste. The Polynesian performers were brilliant. They were graceful, energetic, and very entertaining. They got the audience involved and let visitors get an experience their first hukilau and Tahitian dancing. The Polynesian performers were awesome and very energetic. They really put on a great show.

I had an absolute blast. I was orginally going to attend the luau by myself but i was able to talk my friend into going with me and i thought that it was awesome. i loved all of the hawaiin dances. but i thought that the fire dance guy (forgot what it is really called) was the coolest. I have never had hawaiin styled food and i liked how there was a wide varity of hawaiian food for me to try. i enjoyed it all very much. thank you.
