All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

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。

My third time at the Luau and they never fail to impress me!
Family is very important to me, values, and life lessons, and every time I see their show, I always feel inspired and this time, I decided to bring my husband with me so he can experience the same. Chief's life story is so touching, and I love how he shares it with the guests. As always, Chief is very entertaining from the beginning to end, always full of laughers! The Polynesian Show, and the fire knife dance, superb!! Incomparable! Aaahhhmazing!!

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。

There were fewer Japanese people, but the cheerful crew and lively customers created a good balance.

The Mai Tai was poured generously from a machine that looked like a beer tap. The alcohol content was moderate, and it was very delicious. Everyone was going back for seconds. There were also other options like beer, sodas, and snacks. It seemed there was sparkling wine as well, with a note saying something like, "If you want some, just let us know!"

You can have a great time even if you don't understand English.

The sunset view was amazing! Everyone was taking pictures in their own way. I highly recommend it! (^o^)

日本人は少なめで、陽気なクルーとノリの良いお客さんのバランスがよいです。

マイタイはビールサーバーみたいな機械からバンバン注いでくれます。
アルコールが押さえ目でとてもおいしいです。
みなさんおかわりしていました。
他にビール、ソーダ類、スナック菓子などもありました。スパークリングワインもあったようです。欲しい人は言ってね！みたいな案内がありました。

英吾は分からなくても充分楽しめます。

夕暮れの景色は素晴らしかったですよー
みなさん思い思いに写真を撮っていました。
おすすめです(^o^)

This time, our group was the only one with Japanese participants. We couldn't understand Japanese at all. One drink is free, but if you pay $8, you can have unlimited drinks. The meals are buffet style, and if you don't get there early, they will run out.

今回、日本人の参加は我々の4人グループだけでした。日本語は全く通じません。飲み物は1杯無料ですが、8ドル払うとフリードリンクになります。食事はビュッフェスタイルで、早めに取らないとなくなります。

This is a tour where you can enjoy fireworks on a boat. The food is also delicious. However, I cannot recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness, as the boat does sway. Additionally, it can be a bit chilly on the deck, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a light jacket.

花火を船上で楽しめるツアーです。
食事も美味しいです。
ただ船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方にはオススメは出来ません。
それと甲板に出ると若干肌寒いので羽織るものを一枚持っていった方が良いかと思います。

We had an absolutely fantastic time. It rained the entire day and never put a damper on any of the festivities. Our luau dinner was delicious. One of the best activities we participated in on our recent vacation to Oahu. Each of the villages not only provided us with information and a look into the culture from a variety of islands but they also provided activities for us which were fun an interesting . If I ever return to Hawaii I will go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the full day experience including the luau.

It was very beautiful and moving. The waves were high and it felt like an attraction. The staff's consideration was also very good, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. I want to experience it again on my next trip to Hawaii.

とても、綺麗で感動した。波が高くてアトラクションみたいでした。スタッフさんの気遣いもとても良くて私たちは、安心して楽しめました。次のハワイでもまた体験したいです。

The area we watched from was right in front, so it was breathtaking! There was also a menu where guests could dance hula together, and since it was a song I was currently learning, I happily participated in the dance.

観たエリアも正面だったので、圧巻でした！ ゲストと一緒にフラを踊るメニューもあり、ちょうど習っている曲だったので、楽しく踊りに参加しました。

my husband and I had a great experience st the stargazing tour! Greg was very knowledgeable and very passionate about space and the stars. He answered all our extra questions thoroughly. We also enjoyed the location, the hotel was beautiful and it was dark enough to see many stars.

The weather was nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset! I rode a boat for the first time in Hawaii! It became the best memory with my friends.

天気も良くて、綺麗にサンセットがみれました！ハワイではじめて船に乗りました！友達との最高の思い出になりました。

I chose a plan that included meals. It was a buffet, but there weren't many options, and the dining area felt like it was under a tent on the rooftop. During the meal, there were performances of hula and Hawaiian songs, but it wasn't a relaxing atmosphere to eat in. The show focused on hula. The scenes featuring famous American artists were impersonations, but I enjoyed them enough. Next time, I think I would prefer to just watch the show.

食事付きのプランにしました。
ブッフェでしたが、種類があまりなく食事の場所も屋上にテントが張ってある下で食べる感じでした。
食事中はフラやハワイアンソングの披露もありましたが、落ち着いて食べる雰囲気ではなかったです。
ショーはフラ中心でした。
アメリカの有名アーティストのシーンはモノマネですが十分楽しめました。
次回もショーのみ見たいと思います。

I was looking forward to Michael and reserved a VIP seat, but he didn't perform. I wonder if the actor playing Presley filled in for him, as it seemed like he had a tough time juggling both roles. I was really disappointed since I was there for Michael.
The dancing and singing by Presley and the other actors were wonderful. The performance that involved moving around the audience was also enjoyable.
The Western audience was lively and helped create a great atmosphere, but since there were many Japanese people, it might have felt flat without them.
The food portions were sufficient, but I wouldn't expect too much in terms of taste. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

マイケルを楽しみにVIP席を取りましたが、出演なしでした。プレスリー役がその穴埋めをしていたのか、プレスリーではない役とプレスリー役と兼任で大変そうだったかな。マイケル目当てだったのでとてもがっかりしてしまいました。
プレスリーやその他のアクターのダンスや歌は素晴らしかったです。客席を回ってくれる演出も楽しかったです。
欧米の方がノリがよくて盛り上げてくれていましたが、日本人が多いので彼らがいなかったら盛り上がらなくてしらけてしまったかもしれません。
料理は量は十分ですが味はあまり期待しない方がいいです。まずいという程ではありません。

I went on my first day in Hawaii. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I decided to get a Diamond Seat and participate. Thanks to arriving early, I was guided to the central front row seat, and it was great to see the show up close. I was especially excited about the fire dance! I was also given priority for the buffet, and I was very satisfied!

初めてのハワイで初日に行きました。折角の初ハワイだからとダイヤモンドシートを取って参加しました。早めに行ったおかげか中央の一番前の席に案内していただき、ショーを間近で見ることができて良かったです。特にファイヤーダンスに興奮しました！ビュッフェも優先で案内いただき、とても満足でした！

I was seated at the back, but it wasn't too difficult to see the stage, and I had a great time. The food was also delicious.

後方の席でしたが、ステージが酷く見にくい
ということもなく、とても楽しめました。
料理も美味しかったです。

I had only seen the fireworks from land on Friday nights, so I joined this event to see them from the sea. We cruised while watching the fireworks and the night view towards Diamond Head. My family who accompanied me also seemed to enjoy the fireworks and the night scenery.

金曜日の夜の花火を陸からしか見た事が無く、
海の上から見る事が出来る、との事で参加しました。
花火を見てダイヤモンドヘッドの方へ夜景を見ながらクルージング。
同行の家族も花火と夜景を楽しんでいたようです。

I signed up for a Hawaiian-style ocean leisure activity for my family's first overseas trip. On the boat, everything was primarily in English, and there were parts of the explanations that I couldn't fully understand, but once it started, I enjoyed the cruise in a wonderful atmosphere with beautiful scenery, uplifting music, and delicious drinks. Additionally, when my family was trying to take a selfie, a crew member kindly offered to take the photo for us, and they also made cocktails that weren't on the menu, which was great service.

家族での初めての海外旅行でハワイらしい海のレジャーに参加したいと思い、申し込みました。
船上では基本的に英語で、説明に理解のできない部分もありましたが、いざ始まってしまえば良い景色・心踊る音楽・美味しいお酒で非常に素敵な雰囲気でクルーズを楽しめました。
また家族で自撮りしようとしていたら、クルーの方から撮ってあげるよと申し出てくださったり、メニューに無い組合せのカクテルも作ってくれるなどサービスが良かったです。

I was torn between the sunset cruise and this one, but choosing this was definitely the right decision. I was worried about getting seasick, but it was totally fine. I was really moved by the beautiful scenery! I definitely want to participate again.

サンセットクルーズとどちらにしようか悩みましたが、こちらにして大正解でした。
船酔いを心配しましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
とっても素敵な景色に感動しました！
また是非参加したいです。

I joined this tour to experience the sunset at Waikiki Beach. I think about 30% of the participants were Japanese.

People from various countries were watching the sunset together and sharing their emotions, which created a sense of camaraderie at the end. It was friendly, with everyone taking photos of each other.

I wore a swimsuit and rash guard, so I didn't mind, but since you almost get soaked when boarding the boat, I recommend wearing shorts instead of long pants. Given the strong winds, I also felt it would be safer to avoid long dresses.

Many people found it easy to get drunk on the boat, so they only had 2 to 3 drinks. I think the price is more about the atmosphere of the sunset rather than just the cost of the drinks.

ワイキキビーチのサンセットを味わいたくてこのツアーに参加しました。日本人は3割くらいだったと思います。
色んな国の方が同じようにサンセットを見て、感動し合っていてちょっとした連帯感が最後に生まれていました。写真も撮りあいっこしたりとフレンドリーでした。
私は水着とラッシュガードを着て行ったので気にしなかったですが、船に乗る際にほぼ海に浸かってしまうので、長ズボンではなく短パンがオススメです。風が強いので、ロングドレスも避けた方が無難と感じました。
お酒は船の上で酔いやすいので2~3杯という人が多かったです。お酒代というよりもサンセットの雰囲気代と思ってのお値段かと思います。

The crew was friendly and entertaining. The alcohol never ran out and we thoroughly enjoyed the company and beautiful sunset views. Plus the snack chips were a nice surprise! This was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Lovely way to watch the fireworks and see the lights of Waikiki from the water.

The crew are great fun.

Easy to organise

Have already recommended to friends who have also booked

We had a wonderful time! Not the typical luau where you basically eat, then watch a show. It’s very interactive, we are able to do things. Staff were so friendly and it really felt like a big family celebration. Highly recommended! Plus the free admission to the fall was breathtaking

It was a really nice experience. The catamaran was clean. The food was really good. The drinks were delicious. I would recommend. We did this for our date night and it was really nice to see the sunset. It had a really nice vibe.

The weather was nice, so I was able to see a very beautiful sunset. I was very satisfied! I would like to use this place again when I come back someday.

天気がよかったので、とても綺麗な夕日を見ることができました。大満足でした！またいつか来た時は利用したいです。

Due to my child's poor health, I called at 5 PM the day before and was able to postpone our participation by one day. Thank you for your flexible response.

The half-day tour on the day was enjoyable with a funny guide named MAKI from Ibaraki. I also appreciate the guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center for their clear explanations.

However, the reason I did not give a five-star rating is that the dinner menu was only on the table, and I didn't know how to proceed. It was a buffet style, wasn't it? The menu on the table was for the buffet. I would have appreciated a brief explanation about that.

The subsequent night show was also wonderful and enjoyable. I would like to meet MAKI again. Thank you very much.

That's all.

子供の体調が悪かったため、前日の１７時に電話し、参加を一日ずらせてもらえました。臨機応変に対応いただきありがとうございました。

当日の半日観光は、MAKIさんという茨城出身の面白いガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターのガイドのお兄さんも、わかりやすく案内いただきありがとうございました。

しかし、評価が星５つではないのは、夕食が、メニューだけ机にあり、どう行動したら良いかわからなかったことです。バイキング形式だったんですね。机の上のメニューは、バイキングのメニューだったんですね。
そのような説明が一言、欲しかったです。

その後のナイトショーもすばらしく、良かったです。
また、MAKIさんに会いたいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

以上

We really enjoyed the day and had an excellent guide - JJ. Her beautiful smile was refreshing as was everyone's who worked there. Seemed like they all enjoy their job and are proud of the PCC.
So much education, impossible to see and grasp in one day. Beautiful scenery, wonderful entertainment. Was a little too warm, could have used a little AC here and there but no complaints!

There were many Americans on board, and thanks to their cheerful antics, it was a very exciting cruise. The gentle rocking of the boat and the pleasant buzz from the Mai Tai made the time fly by without boredom, and watching the sunset from the deck was the best memory of all.

アメリカ人の方も多く、陽気にはしゃぐ彼等のおかげでとてもエキサイティングな船旅でした。適度な揺れとマイタイの心地よい酔いで飽きることなく時間が過ぎて、夕陽の落ちていくのを船上で眺めるのは何よりの思い出でした。

The authentic dance show where you can learn about the history of Hawaii was wonderful. My family, especially my husband, was the most impressed since it was their first time in Hawaii.

This time we had the deluxe course, so being able to tour behind the scenes beforehand was a great preparation for enjoying the show. The cool guys who actually perform in the show were very relaxed and took photos with us, which became a great memory of our trip.

ハワイの歴史をショーで学ぶことができる本格的なダンスショーは、素晴らしかったです。ハワイが初めての家族(特に主人）が一番感動していました。
今回はデラックスコースだったので、事前に舞台裏を見学できたのも、ショーを楽しめるよい準備になったと思います。舞台裏では実際にショーに出演するかっこいいお兄さんが達がとても気楽に一緒に写真撮影をしてくれ旅の良い思い出となりました。

Since it is located in the Royal Hawaiian Center, I made a reservation at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, and after dining, we went for cocktails and the show. I went with my daughter and my grandson, and although my daughter belongs to a generation that doesn't know Elvis, she enjoyed it as she recognized some of the songs. My grandson also had fun doing the hand movements from Michael's "Thriller." Of course, I belong to the generation that grew up with Elvis and Michael, so I had the most fun. The hula was great too, and the fire dancer was impressive. After the show, I purchased a photo with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中にあるため、ウルフギャングステーキを予約していたので、食事した後カクテルとショーのみで予約して行きました。
小学校低学年の孫と娘といきましたが、娘はエルビスは知らない世代ですが、聞いたことのある曲もあるということで楽しんでいましたし、孫もマイケルのスリラーの手の振りなどして、楽しんでいました。
もちろん私はエルビスとマイケルどんぴしゃの世代なので一番楽しかったです。ほかにもフラもよかったし、ファイアーダンスの男の人も圧巻でした。
終わってから、マイケルとの写真も購入しいい思い出となりました。
またハワイに行ったら行きたいです。
