All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The guided tour and the whole experience was very good. We have actually seen a better Luau, however, the show made up for any kind of disappointment we would ever have with the Luau. Great facility, very clean, especially the restrooms. Wonderful family experience.

The boarding area was changed, so we walked a bit, but the beer on the boat tasted even better because of it. Since we were with a group of foreigners, we all got excited together. The refreshing sea breeze after the sails were raised was wonderful. I was also captivated by the staff's performance of catching fish. It became a great memory on the first day in Hawaii.

乗り場が変更となり少し歩きましたがその分船上のビールがとても美味しく感じました。
外人さんの団体さんと一緒だったので一緒にテンション上がりました。帆が上がったあとの潮風の気持ち良いこと〰️。スタッフの人が魚を釣り上げるパフォーマンス？にも釘付けになりました。Hawaii初日に良い想い出となりました

Crew was great and the boat itself was really cool but it was so choppy when you got on the water it was hard to enjoy the trip. You couldn’t stand up without falling over and if your prone to any type of motion sickness, it’s game over. The crew was so helpful though! JJ helped me to the back of the boat, got me and my party ice chips, and continued to check on us through the whole trip. Super nice but not the right weather sadly.

We participated as a group. The boat has three floors: the first floor is a dining area, the second floor is a bar where you can listen to live performances. It can accommodate a large number of passengers. I think it's great for groups and families since it's lively. Of course, there were also many couples. The boarding time was quite long, I believe. We were able to enjoy the sunset and the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel on Fridays (for five minutes) nicely.

グループで参加しました。
船は３階まであり、１階が食事スペース、２階がバーで生演奏を聞ける
大人数乗船可。
にぎやかなのでグループ、ファミリーで参加するにはいいと思います。
もちろんカップルの方もたくさんいました。
乗船時間は結構長かったと思います。
サンセットと金曜のヒルトンホテルの花火（５分）はいい感じで見れました。

I went on an afternoon tour. The bright local tour guide (an elderly woman) had an impressive rapid-fire talk on the bus ride, chatting non-stop from departure to arrival. We arrived at the destination after 5:30 PM, and after wandering around a bit, I wanted to go on a canoe river tour, but it ended at 6 PM, so I couldn't participate. I think if the afternoon tour arrived an hour earlier, we could have seen various spots. Also, the evening dance show was breathtaking, and I believe it had a grand story unfolding, but since I don't understand English, I honestly couldn't grasp the content. I thought it would be great if there were Japanese interpretation guide services available.

午後集合のツアーで行きました。
行きのバスの中では明るい現地ツアーガイド（おばあちゃん）によるマシンガントークが印象的でした。出発から到着までずっとしゃべってました。
現地到着が17：30過ぎで、少しぶらぶらして、カヌーでの川巡りを乗ろうと思いましたが、18時で終了のため乗れませんでした。午後ツアーの現地到着はもう1時間早いと色々なスポットを見れたと思います。
また、夜のダンスショーは圧巻で、壮大なストーリーが展開されていると思いますが、何分英語がわからないので、正直内容がわかりませんでした。日本語通訳ガイドサービスなどあったら良いと思いました。

We watched a show for the first time as a family of four. Michael Jackson, who was right on target for my student days in the 1980s, truly impressed us with his lifelike singing and dancing. The final fire show was also very impressive. It was the best show where we could enjoy both a Hawaiian vibe and a concert atmosphere. My young children in kindergarten and early elementary school were a bit confused about who he was, so I think I’d like to repeat this experience by myself next time.

家族4人で初めてショーを観ました。1980年代の学生時代にどんぴしゃのマイケル・ジャクソンは、まさに本物そっくりの歌・踊りに感動でした。
最後のファイアーショーも見応え十分です。ハワイアンな気分とコンサートの気分を味わえる最高のショーでした。幼稚園・小学低学年の子供は、あれ誰？という感じでしたので、次回は私一人でリピートしたいと思います

I had a wonderful time enjoying a peaceful evening! The scenery was amazing, and the delicious drinks made for an even more fantastic escape from everyday life!

夕方の穏やかなひとときを楽しく過ごせました！景色も最高、美味しくお酒も楽しため更に素敵な非日常を大満喫でした！

We went oemanu Kai sunset cruise with our 2 teens. We had a great time, and the crew was great! We didn’t get to see the sunset, but it was cloudy. Other than that, it was wonderful!

A great night out on the Manu Kai to watch the fireworks. The staff were great, friendly and professional.

I rode a catamaran for the first time. As mentioned in the reviews, the explanations were only in English, so I couldn't understand much, but it was manageable. I was right to wear a top with regular clothes and a swimsuit on the bottom. It was very pleasant and fun.

初めてカタマランに乗りました。
口コミ通り、英語のみの説明なのでほとんど理解出来なかったですがなんとかなります。
上着は洋服で下は水着で参加して正解でした。
とても気持ちよく楽しかったです。

What a great tour. The best bang for your buck for an hour and a half. Friendly staff, great Mai Tai’s, music, fun and awesome fireworks. Love that we board from them beach. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

I enjoyed the show for a long time.
The singing and dancing were great and it was fun.
Michael Jackson's impersonation was also good!

長い時間ショーが楽しめました。
歌もダンスも上手で楽しかったです。
マイケルジャクソンのモノマネも良かった〜

Great trip and the crew made it even better. Perfect trip for soaking up nature.

My family has been to Hawaii the past 5 summers in a row. We always make sure that this is part of our trip. It is so much fun and good for the ages of our kids who are teens. We absolutely love the warm night air while watching the fireworks and the amazing view! The hosts are ALWAYS great and of course the drinks are a bonus! Thank you as always and we will be booking again in the near future!

Hurray for our 6th year on this amazing sail. This firework cruise remains a travel must for our family and never disappoints! Fun and professional! Mahalo

It took a while for the usher to find our seat which seems to me that they didn't have assigned seats. I suggest getting assigned seats so this kind of incident will not happen again.

The actual shows were pretty short. It would be nice to extend it a little

The sunset from the sunset sailing was a bit cloudy, but it was nice. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also great. The service from the guide on board was excellent, and I think everyone had a fun and emotional time until the end.

サンセットセーリングからの夕日は少し雲がかかっていたけど良かったです。
海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドと眺めも良かったです。
船上でのガイドさんの接客もよくて、みなさんが最後まで楽しく、感動的に
過ごせた時間だったと思います。

This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands. The canoe show was great!

I attended with my husband, his mother, and our two children, making a total of five of us. It was a wonderful show featuring hula, songs from Disney movies that the kids know, as well as music from Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, fire dancing, and more—something that the whole family could enjoy! They even took pictures with us, making it a very memorable experience. I definitely want to recommend it to everyone! ^ ^

主人の母、主人、子供2人と私の5人で参加しました。素晴らしいフラに加え、子供も知っているディズニー映画の歌や、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、ファイヤーダンスなどなど、家族みんなが楽しめるショーでした！！
一緒に写真も撮ってくれたりと、とても思い出に残るものでした。
ぜひぜ皆さんにもおススメしたいです^ ^

I felt that the fireworks were a bit far away, but overall it was good. My feet were completely bare. Marine shoes were also not allowed.

花火が少し遠いと感じましたがおおむね良かったです。
足は完全素足です。マリンシューズも不可でした。

Well done. We loved the show and would do it again. We highly recommend this show.

There is guidance in Japanese from the pick-up onwards (including broken Japanese). They are punctual, and the buffet food is delicious. However, it may be a bit shaky on some days.

お迎えから全て日本語案内あり（カタコト含む）
時間に正確で、ビッフェのお料理もおいしいです
ただ、日によっては揺れるかもしれません

Since the trolley doesn't operate at the start time in the morning, we took a taxi from our hotel in Waikiki. We arrived in about 20 minutes. After checking in at the counter, a Japanese staff member named Miho gave us a 30-minute tour of the museum. From the garden plants to the history of Hawaii, it was a short time, but I learned a lot. Both the building and the garden were wonderful.

The hula lesson started at 10 AM. Since my daughter and I were the only students that day, it was a private lesson. We began with some basics, and the teacher's husband played the ipu heke, making it a luxurious lesson for beginners. The song was "Hale Maumau." I had done a little hula in Japan, but it might be a bit difficult for complete beginners. However, it felt like the lesson was tailored to the students. By the end of the one-hour lesson, we were able to dance one song, and we received a certificate at the end of the hula lesson. After that, we learned how to make a lei using ti leaves, which took about 30 minutes to complete. I wore the lei until the evening, and I received compliments while shopping.

After the program ended, we explored the museum, looking at things like the bird capes that Miho had shown us, and we returned by trolley.

Although it's a distance from Waikiki and there are no trolleys at the start time, I think it's a place worth visiting. If I have the chance, I would love to go again.

朝はトロリーがない時間にスタートなので、ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで行きました。
20分くらいで到着。
カウンターで受付後、日本人スタッフのミホさんが30分くらい博物館の案内をしてくれます。
庭の植物から、ハワイの歴史、短い時間でしたが、とても勉強になりました。
建物も庭も素晴らしいものでした。

10時からフラレッスン開始。
この日の生徒は私と娘だけだったので、プライベートレッスン。
始め少しベーシックをやり、先生のご主人がイプヘケを叩いてくれて、初心者向けには贅沢なレッスンでした。
曲はハレマウマウ。日本で少しフラをやっていたのですが、まったくの初心者だと少し難しいかもしれません。
でも生徒に合わせてもらえる感じでした。
一時間のレッスンで一曲踊れるようになり、最後に認定証を頂き、フラレッスンは終了。
そのあとティーリーフを使ってレイの作り方を教えてもらえるのですが、30分ほとで完成、その日は夕方までレイをかけていましたが、買い物先などで褒めてもらえました。

プログラム終了後は、ミホさんに教えて頂いた鳥のマントなど、館内を見て回り、帰りはトロリーで戻りました。

ワイキキからは距離があり、開始時間にトロリーがないので、タクシーなどで行かなければなりませんが、行く価値のある場所だと思います。
次の機会があれば、またぜひ行きたいです。

I thought it was over after watching the fireworks, but even after they ended, I was able to enjoy the peaceful sea out offshore. It was a lot of fun.

花火観賞で終わりとおもっていたが花火が終わった蹟も沖合いまで出て太平の海を満喫できました。楽しかったです。

The crew was great and the food was delicious. Advice for those who get sea sick: premediciate! The catamaran isn't huge, so riders definitely feel every wave. The evening we went the water was really rough and seasickness definitely puts a damper on an otherwise great experience.

Love the experience. Love the food. Will come back and visit again. We came with two small children’s 2 and 4. They love the show and the buffet. Love the boat ride and the theater show. Ac is very cold in the imax show. We took the boat ride and went the very back and visited all the villages back so it’s a one way trip to the buffet if the timing is right. And after the buffet we hang out by the market and listen to the live music.

I previously participated in a luau at Hilton on the Big Island, but this was my first time on Oahu. It was a luau on a rooftop surrounded by hotels, and the show was wonderful. If I understood a bit more English, I might have grasped the explanations better, but I still enjoyed the stage performance. After the show, the dancers were also happy to take photos, and it seemed like the kids had a great time. Above all, it really felt like I was in Hawaii.

以前はハワイ島でヒルトンのルアウに参加しましたが、今回はオアフでの初参加でした。
ホテルに囲まれた屋上でのルアウでしたが、ショーは素敵なものでした。
もう少し英語が分かれば、説明している内容も分かったのでしょうけど、それでもステージは楽しめました。
ショーが終われば、ダンサー達も気軽に写真にも応じてもらえますし、子供も楽しめていたようでした。何より、ハワイに来たな〜と感じられます。

I wasn't expecting much from the food or the show, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable and delicious! When Michael came out, it was the best! I didn't know they had shows like this in Hawaii. The hula dancing was also wonderful. It's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

食事もショーも期待していませんでしたが、これが結構楽しくて美味しかった‼︎
マイケルが出てきた時は最高‼︎
ハワイでこんなショーをやってるのを初めて知りました。
フラダンスも素敵でした。
一度は是非‼︎

We had such a fabulous night on this cruise. The fireworks were fabulous but more importantly the hosts were great, funny and made the experience even better. Loved going for a sail afterwards and the maitais were delicious. Thanks for an awesome night.
