All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I have used this place several times to celebrate my father's birthday. It started with a beautiful sunset, and after dinner, we went up to the cabin to enjoy the amazing night view. Each year, more hotels are being built, making the night view more vibrant.

親父の誕生日祝いに何度か利用させてもらってます。きれいな夕日からはじまり、食後はキャビンに上がって最高の夜景が楽しめました。年々ホテルが増えてきて、夜景がにぎやかになってきてます。

I attended a relative's wedding in Hawaii... aloha

The day before, we had a family dinner and went to see the Rock-a-Hula show, which I had really wanted to see when coming to Hawaii. ☝️

It was the best show where I could enjoy it together with the cast, just as I expected. The staff were friendly, which added to the fun.

Next time, I will go to see it with my friends.

親戚の結婚式がありハワイへ………aloha

前日、会食を兼ね親戚皆で
ハワイに来たら是非観たかった
ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。☝️

期待通りにキャストと一緒に楽しめる最高のショーでした。
スタッフの方も気さくで愉しさが増しました。

次はお友達と一緒に観にいきます。

I attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.

I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.

2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。

新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。

It’s an experiential luau that families with small children and couples can all enjoy, and my family had a fantastic time! Before the show started, there were activities like fire-starting and making headbands using banana leaves, which kept the audience engaged. They celebrated guests who were there for special occasions on stage, danced with the audience, and above all, the chief's stories were very entertaining, making us laugh from the bottom of our stomachs multiple times! The food and Mai Tai cocktails were also very delicious.

The final fire knife dance was impressive! My 2-year-old son watched intently without blinking!

Definitely experience Chief's Luau! The chief and the crew will surely entertain you!!!

小さいお子様連れの家族、カップル、全ての方が楽しめる体験型ルアウで、私達家族もめいいっぱい楽しませていただきました！ショーが始まる前に火起こしやバナナリーフを使用したヘッドバンド作り体験等があり、観客を飽きさせないような構成になっています。記念日で来ている観客をステージでお祝いしたり、観客とのダンス、また、何よりもチーフの話がとても面白く、途中何度もお腹の底から笑わせていただきました！食事やマイタイカクテルもとても美味しかったです。

最後のファイヤーナイフダンスは見応えありです！私の2歳になる息子も瞬きせずにしっかりと観ていました！

チーフスルアウ、是非、体験して下さい！チーフとクルーがきっと楽しませてくれます！！！

So much fun, a highlight of our trip. The crew was wonderful. Highly recommend!!

This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!! Quyana - Mahalo - thank you.

This was our very 1st event when we arrived to Oahu, was so beautiful to see Waikiki from the sea. Got to see sunset and the moon too! They were all very attentive, offered us a drink as soon as we boarded. Even offered to take our pictures. =)
Relaxing and fun experience.

This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, we couldn't participate in intense activities, so we joined the tour with that mindset. However, the evening show was truly wonderful and definitely worth seeing! I was moved. Unlike during the day, the area becomes lively before the evening show starts, so you can enjoy it even if you arrive early.

However, since we rented a car, we opted for a local meeting plan, but the meeting location was only listed as "on-site," and I didn't have any details. I called the Japanese-speaking number mentioned in the reservation confirmation email, but perhaps it was just bad timing, as only English speakers were available, and I couldn't understand the details with my English skills. I ended up waiting at the entrance at the meeting time, but no one showed up. As time passed, I got anxious and showed my voucher at the information center, where they quickly issued the buffet and show tickets. I wish this information had been provided at the time of booking. Since you can enter the buffet earlier than the meeting time, knowing that would have allowed us to enjoy our meal and stroll around the show venue more leisurely, which was a bit disappointing.

However, the greatness of the show more than made up for these negatives, so I give it five stars.

今回は老齢の両親との旅行だったため、激しめのアクティビティには参加出来ず、それならば、ぐらいの気持ちで参加したツアーでしたが、イブニングショーは大変素晴らしく、見る価値おおいにアリでした！感動しました。昼間と違い、イブニングショーが始まる前には会場前も華やかになり、開場時間より早めに行っても楽しめます。

ただ、レンタカーだったため現地集合プランにしたのですが、集合場所が現地とのみ記載されており、詳細が分かりませんでした。予約確認メールに記載されていた日本語オッケーの番号に電話するも、その時間たまたまだったのかもしれませんが英語の方しかいらっしゃらず、私の英語力では詳細分からず。仕方なく集合時間に現地エントランスで待っていても誰も現れず、時間が過ぎて焦って何か分からないかとインフォメーションセンターにバウチャーを見せたところ、あっさりとビュッフェとショーのチケットを発券していただけたので、予約時にその旨案内しておいていただきたかったです。ビュッフェには集合時間より早い時間から入場可能なので、それを知っていれば食事もショーの会場前の散策もゆっくり出来たのに、と少し残念。

ですが、そのマイナスを補って余りあるショーの素晴らしさに星5つです。

The sunset is beautiful. If you want to feel the essence of Hawaii, I recommend this. The food is generally delicious, and there is a good variety. The cruise lasts about two hours, so the kids might get a little bored, but I think it's a good value for adults to enjoy at a leisurely pace.

夕陽がきれい。ハワイらしさをまず感じるなら、おススメです。料理も普通に美味しく、品揃えもあります。
クルーズ時間が2時間くらいありますので、子供が少し飽きてきますが、大人がゆっくり楽しむにはコスパ良いと思います。

My wife and I booked last minute to take this tour. The hosts were great and it was a nice way to begin an evening out. Would recommend!

The boat departed the pier just after the posted time. There’s a cash bar onboard and they have the must-haves there; Mai Tai, pina colada, among others. Buffet was open after the sail went up, about 15 minutes into the cruise. Basic stuff, chicken, rice, egg rolls, but nicely done. It’s mid November so the sunset was about 5:50, and on the one side the setting sun, the other Diamond Head and Waikiki, it really is a very nice setting for photos. The crew was friendly and took good care of us. We turned back after an hour and the last 30 minutes or so you also get the night view of Waikiki as the last light disappeared behind the horizon.
Make sure you take a Dramamine If you get sick on boats, because with all the activities in the area wakes can turn even the calmest sea into a roller coaster, and it was pretty windy that day. Also if you don’t show up on time the driver won’t wait, and you’ll just have to get a taxi or uber to the on-site check-in point.

What an experience!! Great food, entertainment and I think we got the best server!! Darian was amazing! Would do it again!

I did the Green Room package which was neat being able to go back stage to see how things work behind the scenes along with being able to sit right in front of the stage to eat and watch the show which gave you a great view being so close to the performers. I like how they always include a local artist to perform too, so you are able to see not only Michael Jackson and Elvis but someone local as well. It's also nice that everything is indoors so you don't have to worry about the weather ruining your plans.

This is my third Luau that I have been to so far and this one is by far my favorite! The crew is so nice and attentive and I loved how Chief Sielu is so family oriented. He made several points to bring guests on stage and include them in the show and they even had a special moment for two children through the Make A Wish Foundation that were there which was so sweet!
You are entertained all night long whether it's by the dancing, the Chief's jokes or the amazing fire dancers. I would also highly recommend the Royal package, we had great seats up front and were one of the first in line for the buffet.

We went as a family! The sunset was beautiful, and the drinks were delicious. We also took pictures with the cheerful captain, making it a wonderful memory. My parents, who are over 60, had a fantastic time! After the sunset, the night view was also very beautiful! However, I strongly recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you can get quite wet when boarding!

家族で行きました！
夕陽の綺麗さはもちろんのこと、お酒も美味しいし、陽気な船長とも写真を撮ったりととてもいい思い出になりました。
60過ぎた両親も、大満足の時間を過ごせました！
夕陽の後は夜景もとてもきれいでしたよー！
ただ、乗船時に結構濡れるので、濡れてもいい服で行くこと、強くおすすめします！

It was very good. My elderly parents were also fine. The staff were kind people. Seeing a pod of dolphins was a wonderful memory.

とてもよかったです。
高齢の両親でも大丈夫でしと。スタッフも優しい人達でした。
イルカの群れも見れて凄くいい記念になりました。

I had a wonderful time enjoying the buffet dinner and a lovely show at the Royal Hawaiian in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you very much.

The show featured performances that closely resembled those of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a two-in-one experience as we could also enjoy hula dancing. There was a great sense of unity between the performers and the audience, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Additionally, the meals were luxurious and served in generous portions that were more than enough to eat. Thank you for allowing changes to the standard menu. The welcome experience was also impressive, with hula dancing at the entrance, along with welcome drinks, snacks, and a variety of desserts. It was a very meaningful and fun time. I believe it's a show that you can watch multiple times without getting bored.

エルビスやマイケルジャクソンのショーがそっくりに演出されている上に、フラも見れるという一石二鳥のショー内容でしたが、出演者と観客との一体感もあり、
大変盛り上がって良かったです。また、食事も豪華な上、食べきれない程のボリュームもあり、食事内容も、スタンダードメニューからの変更も可能にしていただきありがとうございました。また、ウェルカム時のおもてなしの入り口でのフラダンスやウェルカムドリンクとスナックやデザートのサイドメニューも充実しており、大変有意義に、楽しく時間を過ごすことが出来て良かったです。何度見ても、飽きないショーだと思います。

Neat clean boat, great crew and captain, great drinks and great music 100% recommend!

The lei bearer was a sweet, smiling, helpful and delightful greeter and the lei was absolutely gorgeous. My wife was very pleased. This was a fitting introduction to the warmth of the people we encountered and I cannot praise our receptionist and the lei enough. SO glad I chose to do this, and VERY pleased with the person sent to carry it out. She was right at the gate waiting, and accompanied us to baggage and to our limo. My wife and her had a lovely conversation from gate to limo. Bill and Betty Rooks 5th Nov 2019

It was a truly wonderful tour that created amazing memories. There was an American honeymoon couple, and we had a great time during meals. The setting sun was a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. However, I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant crew didn't engage with Japanese people as much compared to others. I wondered if they thought we didn't understand English or if they assumed we wouldn't tip. The tour was fantastic!

とても素晴らしい思い出になるツアーでした。
アメリカ人のハネムーンカップルもいて食事の時も盛り上がりました。
刻々と沈む太陽は一生の思い出になります。
ただ少し残念だったのは、レストランクルーが、他の国の人とくらべ日本人に対しあまりこえかけをしてくれませんでした。
英語がわからない人種と思われてるのか、はたまたチップを渡さない人種と思われたのか
少し気になりました。
ツアーは最高です！

I went with the Royal experience with my husband and 2 year old son. It was the first time Luau as a family. We absolutely loved it!!! The chief was very funny, and the show had a lot of audience engagements when the chief and his crews welcome audience up on the stage for dance and couple anniversaries. Food was very good and of course, the Mai Tai was amazingly tasty! Also, the activities before the show were really fun!!! My 2 year old son loved watching dances especially the last fire dance! He did not blink at all! I would totally recommend to everyone who has not experienced Luau but also to who wants more family oriented Luau experience.

Thank you, Chief and the crews for amazing Luau experience!!!

When I arrived at the venue, I learned that due to the weather forecast predicting rain, the meal would be indoors. The sky didn't seem like it would rain, so my excitement dropped significantly from the start.

However, the luau became enjoyable as it progressed, and I was glad I participated. The hula dance performed solo by one of the dancers was truly beautiful! It was my first time being moved by hula. I would love to see that dancer's hula again.

The food was good. So, I decided to try breakfast at Surf Lanai later, but that was not as great...

Initially, I planned to make a reservation through the hotel’s website, but it stated that there would be no performance on the Thursday during my stay. I tried booking through Veltra, and it went smoothly. Just to be sure, I inquired and they confirmed that the hotel’s website was incorrect. I appreciated their quick response.

会場に行くと、天気予報が雨なので室内での食事との事。降りそうもない空だったので、スタートからテンションがかなり下がりました。

ただ、途中からルアウが楽しくなってきたので、参加して良かったと思いました。特にソロで踊られた方のフラダンスが本当に美しかった！ 始めてフラで感動しました。あの方のフラはもう一度観たいです。

お料理のお味は良かったです。なので、後日サーフラナイで朝食を頂いてみましたが、それはあまり…。

始めホテルのHPから予約するつもりでしたが、私が滞在中の木曜は休演と掲載されていました。試しにベルトラさんから予約をしたらすんなり完了。念のためお尋ねしたら確認を取って下さり、結局、ホテルのHPが誤っていたとの回答でした。迅速に対応頂いて助かりました。

The two staff members on the boat were kind. When I offered them some senbei, they returned the favor with snacks. They also kept pouring drinks for us one after another. The sunset was beautiful, and it was so much fun that I ended up drinking too much!

船のスタッフ二人も親切です。せんべいを差し上げたら、スナックをお返しにくれました。お酒も、次々とついでくれます。サンセットも、良く、楽しくて、飲み過ぎました笑。

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.

At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.

Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...

I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.

父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。

最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。

先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…

父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

The staff friendly and funny. The Safety of the guests was their key focus but also ensuring all onboard enjoyed the experience. My friends and I had a great time and it was a fitting last night in Hawaii.

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!

It was a best choice to select the above ticket. My hubby was called to come to the main stage during the program. Unforgettable memories !!!

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。
