All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Last year, I went on a sunset sailing trip on the catamaran, but this year there were light snacks (which turned out to be quite filling!) along with a welcome drink (champagne) and free drinks (unlimited alcohol). However, you must wear an armband to enjoy the free drinks! I was a bit disappointed that the communication and handover were not thorough, but the cruise itself was fantastic. I highly recommend it to everyone.

昨年はカタマラン号にてのサンセットセーリングでしたが今年は軽食（軽食との事でしたが結構なボリュームがあり満腹になります！）にウェルカムドリンク（シャンパン）にフリードリンク（アルコール飲み放題）との事でした。
ただフリードリンクにはアームバンドを付けていなければダメ！とのことでした。連絡、引継ぎが徹底されていなく少しがっかりでしたがクルーズ自体は最高でした。
皆さんにもお勧めします。

Best in town, great view, great crew, great cocktails

The boat was a little bit too crowded, but the dinner experience and the view of Waikiki were great.

We started with dinner, and then enjoyed hula, singing, and dancing with very quick costume changes. Even the impersonators sang like professionals. I was a fan of that nostalgic Elvis. The show was wonderful, and my hands turned red from all the applause.

ディナーから始まり、フラや歌、踊りなどとても素早い衣装替えで楽しみました。
そっくりさんでも歌はプロですね。懐かしいあのプレスリー。実はファンでした。
ショーが素晴らしくて、拍手で手が真っ赤になっちゃいました。

I chose this place based on its reputation, but...
The food was at the level of a rooftop beer garden.
The show had a nice atmosphere in the theater, but it was boring, and I left halfway through.
I can't understand the positive reviews from others.
I won't be coming back.

評判を呼んで選んでみましたが、、、、
食事も屋上のビアガーデンレベル。
ショーは劇場で雰囲気はあったものの、退屈で途中で退席してしまいました。
他の人の評判が理解できません。
再訪はないですね。

All-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages (Mai Tai, beer, wine, etc.) and soft drinks!! We were blessed with great weather and were able to enjoy the best sunset. It was also a fun time singing and dancing with cheerful foreigners. A luxurious experience!!

お酒類(マイタイ、ビール、ワインなど)とソフトドリンクも飲み放題！！
お天気にも恵まれ最高のサンセットを観ることができました。また、陽気な外国人とも歌って踊って楽しいひと時でした。贅沢な時間です‼︎

I heard great reviews from my colleague about her mother, so I made a reservation for my mother in her 70s. I was worried that we might get a bad seat since we arrived late, but we ended up with a very good table, the second one from the center. However, the area for those with meals isn't very spacious, so I think you can see the stage well from anywhere. Everyone's dancing and singing were top-notch and kept us entertained.

One point that didn't meet my expectations was that I thought there would be more hula dancing. The show has a stronger rock influence, so those who come expecting more hula might be disappointed. Elvis was cooler than the real thing! His singing was just like the original.

Michael was also great. I wasn't particularly a fan of Michael, but perhaps because I spent my middle and high school years enjoying Western music, it brought back memories and I was so moved that I ended up crying. I couldn't help but think, "Ah, Michael is alive!"

同僚のお母様がよかった！という評判をきいて、70代の母のために予約しました。遅れて着いたので、良くない席になってしまうのではと思いましたが、中央から二つ目のテーブルでとても良い席でした。ただ、食事付きの人が案内される場所はそんなに広い場所ではないので、どこからでもよくステージが見えると思います。みなさんダンスも、歌も一流で飽きさせない内容でした。
ですが１点期待から外れていたことといえば、もう少しフラを見られるかと思ってしまったことでした。フラよりロック色の方が強いショーなので、フラのほうを期待されて来られた方はがっかりするかも。
エルビスは本物よりもカッコいい！歌も本人そのものです。
マイケルもよかったです。私は特にマイケルのファンではなかったのですが、洋楽が好きな中高生時代を過ごしていたためか過去を思い出しかなり感激して泣いてしまいました。「ああ、マイケルが生きている！」そんな風に思えてなりませんでした。

To celebrate my eldest son's elementary school graduation, I came to Hawaii with four third graders. For everyone except me, it was their first time in Hawaii. I had been moved by the view from the second floor before, so I wanted my family to see it too, and this time, I reserved VIP seats to also celebrate the children's birthday. Since it was the first day in Hawaii, the kids were hit by sleepiness around the time the show started and ended up falling asleep. Even though I had ordered a birthday cake...

The show itself was amazing‼️ I should consider when to go again. The content was varied, and I want to go back✨

長男の小学校卒業を記念して、小学校３年生と４人でハワイに来ました。自分以外は初ハワイでした。前に２階席より見て感動をしていたので、家族にも見てほしく今回は子供の誕生日もかねてVIP席を予約しました。ハワイ初日とあり時差ぼけか子供はショーが始まる頃に睡魔におそわれ寝てしまいました。
バースデーケーキも頼んでいたのに……
ショー自体は最高でした‼️
行く日を考えるべき出した。
内容も変化しててまた行きたいです✨

I participated in this during my last trip to Hawaii and it was so great that I decided to join again without hesitation! Since it was March, which is winter in Hawaii, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset because it was cloudy, but it still became a fun memory. There were only Japanese participants like us, but we had plenty of fun.

前回のハワイ旅行の時に参加してとても良かったので、今回も迷わず決めました！3月というハワイの冬季だったからか、曇りで綺麗なサンセットは見れませんでしたが楽しい思い出になりました。日本人参加者は私たちのみでしたが十分楽しめます。

The prices are reasonable, and there is an all-you-can-drink option for both alcohol and soft drinks. The staff members are friendly and easy to get along with. Above all, the sunset view from over the ocean is amazing! I want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.

金額もリーズナブルで、アルコールやソフトドリンクが飲み放題です。スタッフの方々もフレンドリーでその場に馴染みやすいです。何と言っても海の上から見るサンセットは素晴らしい！次回のハワイでも参加したいです。

I always rely on Veltra's optional tours. Previously, I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center during the day, so this time I wanted to see the night fire show. We booked a tour for six people on the evening of our arrival in Honolulu. During the journey, our guide shared the story behind the performance, so I was able to understand and enjoy it in English. With over 100 participants, the performances were stunning and captivating. The hour and a half show flew by. I highly recommend it. The buffet before the show was also luxurious, featuring crab, roast beef, and desserts, which left us very satisfied. It was great that it was a limited-time offer at just $26!

いつも、ベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーでお世話になっております。
以前は、昼間のポリネシアカルチャーセンターに行ったので、今回は夜のファイヤーショーを観たくて、ホノルル到着の日の夕方からのツアーを６名で申し込みました。
行く道中で、ガイドさんから、ストーリーの内容を聞いていたので、英語でも何とか理解して鑑賞出来ました。総勢１００名以上で、次々とパフォーマンスを繰り広げ、圧巻でした。１時間半ショーがあっという間でした。是非お勧めします。
ショーの前のビュッフェも、蟹やローストビーフやデザートなど豪華で大満足。
期間限定で２６＄も安かったのも、良かったです！

The canoe show and night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, as well as the hula lessons, were very enjoyable. Our guide, Kelina, was knowledgeable and made the tour both fun and informative. I felt that the bus driver's driving was quite wild, and I hope that can be improved. Overall, it was a highly satisfying tour.

ポリネシアンセンターのカヌーショウとナイトショウ、フラのレッスンがとても楽しかったです。ガイドのケリーナさんが知識豊富でとても楽しく為になる内容のツアーでした。バスの運転手さんの運転がかなりワイルドでそこだけは改善してほしいと思いました。トータルでは最高に満足度の高い内容のツアーでした。

Last time, I couldn't board because I didn't make a reservation, so this time I booked in Japan.

On the day of the cruise, it coincided with the last day of the Honolulu Festival (fireworks festival), and I received a notice that the cruise would be temporarily canceled. However, it changed to a notice saying that there would be restrictions on the roads due to the festival, so please be careful... What a relief...

Finally, the long-awaited cruise! From the commemorative photo before boarding to spotting whales during the voyage, it was thrilling... Above all, the open bar was the best. The homemade Mai Tai was amazing!! The MC was fantastic too!!

I felt that wearing clothes that could get wet and, depending on the season, a windbreaker was necessary. The person next to me looked super cold in a T-shirt and hot pants...

I definitely think it will be a memorable experience...

I highly recommend it.

前回は予約せずに行ったので乗船出来ませんでしたので、今回は日本で
予約をしました。

当日はホノルルフェスティバルの最終日（花火大会）と重なり
一時クルージングが中止になると連絡が有ったが、中止ではなく
フェスティバルで道など規制があるので注意して下さいとの連絡に
変わりました。。。。一安心・・・・

それで待ちにまったクルージングですが、乗船前の記念写真から
航海中、鯨も偶然見られ感激。。。。
何よりオープンバーが最高でした。
自家製マイタイも最高！！
ＭＣも最高！！

濡れても良い服装と時期によってはウィンドブレーカが必要と感じました。
隣の方はＴシャツにホットパンツで超寒そうでした。。。

絶対に記念になると思います。。

お勧めします。

This was my fourth time in Hawaii, and having previously experienced sunset dinner cruises like the Star of Honolulu, I wanted to enjoy the sunset in a different way, so I joined this course. Fortunately, the weather was great, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. Unlike the dinner cruises, this experience had a wild feel to it, allowing me to fully enjoy the sense of being abroad. However, everything from the reception to the staff guidance on board was in English, and the ratio of Western guests was quite high, so the way the atmosphere built up on the ship was different from what I'm used to as a Japanese person, which made me feel a bit out of place. Nevertheless, I had a great time overall! I highly recommend it.

4度目のハワイで、過去にスターオブホノルルなどのサンセットディナークルーズも体験しましたので、何か違う方法でサンセットを楽しみたいと思い
このコースに参加しました。幸いお天気にも恵まれてとてもきれいな夕日も楽しめました。ディナークルーズとは違い、ワイルドな感じでより外国に来た感を満喫できました。ただし、受付、船上でのスタッフの案内もすべて英語、乗船客も欧米の方の比率がとても高く、船上での盛り上がり方が日本人とは違うので少々ノリについていけないというか、アウウェイ感は高いです。
しかし、それも含めてとても楽しめました！おススメです。

The stage was impressive with dance and storytelling woven throughout several acts! On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly for late February, so a long-sleeved outer layer was necessary.

It was a dinner and show only at night, but the dedicated explanations and guidance from the students in the car made the somewhat long journey feel worthwhile, as we got to hear stories from those living in Hawaii!

There's a superstition or urban legend that says if you see a rainbow, you'll be able to come back to Hawaii, and if you see a double rainbow, you'll be able to live in Hawaii.

The Polynesian Cultural Center certainly seems to be large in scale, and I thought I would like to take my time to stroll around and explore it next time.

Everyone has different feelings about it, but I found the buffet to be delicious! While it doesn't quite have the Japanese-style fusion of Western and Japanese cuisine, I think that anyone without particular dislikes would find it generally tasty. I particularly enjoyed the moist purple taro bread.

This tour includes a full course with a VIP backyard plan. The participation card gives a special feeling, and we had photo opportunities with stars and champagne. The guide was very enthusiastic and made the tour enjoyable while we explored the backyard! They were also proactive in taking photos in front of the headpieces and instruments. After finishing the tour, we went to the venue, where our seats were right at the front of the central stage. Depending on the number of participants, I think VIP courses usually have front-row seats. The content of the show was also very satisfying! Elvis and Michael were the main acts, and the quality of each was high! I believe the song choices were mostly familiar, and the female singer's performances in between featured famous sounds, which made me feel like I was in Hawaii. The scale of the show has a luxurious private atmosphere! I recommend it for any part of your Hawaii trip—at the beginning, during, or at the end! The course meal and alcohol exceeded expectations! The Blue Hawaii and strawberry cocktails were delicious!

I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking the hotels and beaches of Waikiki, as well as Diamond Head.

Since it had rained earlier, there was a rainbow, and I was lucky enough to see a whale spouting water, making for a fulfilling time.

ワイキキのホテルやビーチ、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望でき綺麗な夕日を楽しむことができました。

雨が降った後だったので虹が出ていたり
運良くクジラの潮吹きも見れたりと充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.

午前中の観光から始まり１３時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。
今回のツアーでお世話になったガイドさん　本当にありがとうございました。
来年　またお会いできるといいです。

I participated with my girlfriend as a graduation trip. The food was delicious, and the pineapple, in particular, was exquisite. We took photos before boarding, and I was very satisfied with the service that offered data for around 1000 yen during the cruise! When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.

卒業旅行として彼女と参加しました。
料理も美味しく、特にパイナップルは絶品でした
乗船前に写真を撮り、その後クルーズ中に1000円前後でデータをプレゼントというサービスも大変満足しました！
またハワイに訪れたときは、是非とも参加したいと思います。

I had a great time.
I think first-time visitors to Hawaii should definitely check it out.
Personally, I was captivated by the dancers♪
It was full of fun, so I highly recommend it to everyone!

楽しく過ごせました。
初めてハワイに行かれる方は
見ておいた方が良いと思いますよー。
個人的にはダンサーの方々に目を奪われてました♪
遊び心満載でしたので皆様も是非是非w

This is my third time, and I always enjoy the different content and songs each year. This year, I was moved by the female singer's voice. The fire show was also dynamic and thrilling; it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

三回目になりますが、毎年違う内容や歌に楽しませていただいてます。今年は女性の方の歌声に感動しました。火のショーもダイナミックでハラハラドキドキ楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I previously participated in a regular sailing to enjoy the sunset, so this time I signed up because I could see the fireworks on Friday night. Watching the fireworks from the boat was a different experience compared to viewing them from Waikiki Beach, and it was great. There was nothing obstructing the view, so I could see the fireworks clearly from the moment they launched and as they continued to go off one after another.

It was a bit disappointing that we stopped the boat early and stayed in the same spot for quite a long time to watch the fireworks. It gets chilly at night, so bringing a windbreaker was definitely the right choice.

以前は、サンセットを楽しむ通常のセーリングに参加したので、今回は金曜夜の花火が見られるということで申し込みました。
船上からの花火観賞は、ワイキキビーチから見るのとは、また違った感じで良かったです。何も遮るものがないので、花火が上がる瞬間から、次々と打ち上がる様子がよく見えました。
花火を見るため、早めに船を停めて結構長時間同じ場所に留まっていたのが、残念。
夜は冷え込むのでウィンドブレーカーは、持って行って正解でした。

The fireworks on Friday ended in the blink of an eye, but it was very pleasant to watch and became a great memory. It was fun to enjoy drinks together while being on the yacht.

金曜の花火はあっと言うまに終わりましたがとても心地よく見られて良い思い出になりました。ヨットの中も飲み物を飲みながら皆で盛り上がって楽しかったです

One of the highlights of our trip! Great atmosphere and staff. We had 6 of us ages 22-26 and it was a blast!

I had a reservation starting at 5:00 PM, but for some reason, I was guided to a course starting at 5:30 PM and ended up waiting on the beach for an hour feeling anxious. This year in Hawaii seems to be quite cold, and I think it would be tough without a somewhat thick jacket on the water. In fact, there were people wearing thin down jackets. We wore hoodies, but we ended up putting on the windbreakers we had brought as a backup while on the water. Although you won't get splashed by waves, you do have to enter the water when boarding and disembarking, so if you're wearing long pants or a long skirt, it's better to wear something that can be rolled up to above the knees. The reception and everything else is in English. During our time there, about 80% of the guests were from English-speaking countries, except for six Japanese people and a family of four from Korea. Before boarding, there is a photo service that takes pictures without asking, and after disembarking, you're encouraged to purchase them for around $20. For some reason, even though we had our pictures taken, we ended up with none. The sailing itself was wonderful, and even while enjoying drinks on the water, I didn't feel seasick and had a great time.

17:00からを予約していたのですが、なぜか17:30からのコースを案内され、不安なまま1時間砂浜で待つことになりました。
今年のハワイはかなり寒いようで、海上ではやや厚手の上着がないとつらいと思います。実際、薄手のダウンを着ている人もいました。私たちは、パーカーを着ていましたが予備で持っていたウインドブレーカーを海上では着ていました。波をかぶったりすることはないのですが、乗船と下船には水の中に入るので、長ズボンやロングスカートを着用する場合は、膝上までたくし上げられるものにしたほうがいいと思います。受付その他全て英語対応です。私たちの時は、日本人６人と韓国人家族４人以外の8割方は英語圏の方でした。乗船前に、写真を撮るサービスがあり有無を言わさず撮られ、下船後に20ドルくらいで購入を勧められます。私たちはなぜか撮影したにもかかわらず、写真がないという…。セーリング自体はとても素晴らしく、海上でアルコールを飲みながらでしたが酔うこともなく楽しめました。

Had a great time from the time of pick up all throughout to the Center , the driver and the assistant Cousin Vette was funny and very knowledgeable of the culture since he was from Samoa . It was a great experience to learn about different cultures and histories inside the Polynesian Cultural Center, glad we added this to our bucket list

At first, I thought it wouldn't be much since the price was low, but the crew was great at getting everyone excited. Even though I couldn't speak Japanese, it didn't matter; they worked hard to engage us with gestures. There were many foreigners, but we could all enjoy the experience together. When the fireworks went off, the excitement peaked again.

It was truly fun, and if I come to Hawaii again, I definitely plan to join this again.

最初は　値段も安いし
たいしたことはない　だろうと思って
乗り込みましたが
クルーの方々の盛り上げ方がうまい。
日本語が通じないけど　そんなの関係なく
一生懸命　身振り手振りで盛り上げてくれる
外人が多かったけど
知らない人たちと一緒に盛り上がれる
花火が打ちあがると
またまた大盛り上がり

本当に楽しくて
また　ハワイにきたら
次も絶対乗ろう思っています。

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

Beautiful flowers, friendly and helpful greeter and guide.

Tour guide outstanding. Exceeded all our needs and provided excellent guide service and advice. Treated us special from the moment we met until our departure. Thanks very much for translating Chinese for my wife and daughter and making their experience memorable. Had the best time ever! Definitely need to do this again with same guide. Thank you!
