I thought the luau was okay, but was frankly surprised how simple the meal was and it was not very good. The overall event was okay but I would not recommend this luau at least for the price we paid.

Once we entered, there was a long wait until the show started. Since we went on the day of our arrival, I ended up feeling sleepy towards the end of the show.
We had to go up in turns to get our food, but our seats were towards the back, so we had to wait quite a bit, and there wasn't much to do, which felt like a waste of time.
It might be nice for those who want to enjoy the show leisurely, but considering the quality of the food, I thought it was a bit pricey, even with the strong yen.
入ってから、ショーが始まるまでが長く、到着日に行ったので、ショーの終わりの方は睡くなって、しまいました。
料理も順番に取りに行くのですが、私たちの席は最後の方だったので、かなり待たされ、ずっとする事もなくダラダラで、時間が勿体なかったです。
のんびりショーを見たい人だったらいいかもしれないけど、料理の内容を考えても、円高でもちょっと高いなぁと思いました。

Since we were staying at a condominium, we gathered in front of the nearest Hyatt Regency hotel and boarded the bus from four different locations, departing with almost a full load. We were the only two Japanese people, so we were instructed to sit in the front row. The explanations were primarily in English, but I could understand the gist from the Japanese notes.
After arriving at Paradise Cove, we had complete freedom after seating arrangements. Although the park is small, if you don't actively participate in the events, it can get boring. However, if you're not very proficient in English, you might find that art activities are often put off, which can be frustrating.
Regarding seating arrangements, generally, the upper class sits in the middle, while the standard class is assigned to the ends, with specific seats designated by bus number and last name.
I enjoyed three Mai Tai drinks from the welcome drink until the end, and they were very delicious. There was also a ceremony, and the rare Kahlua pig was tasty, while the poi was not good, but mixing it with lomi lomi salmon made it enjoyable.
The desserts, including cake, fruit, and coffee, were plentiful. During the showtime, the singer and host interacted with the audience, and there were many opportunities for guest participation, creating a lively atmosphere. Those celebrating a special occasion were invited to stand and be congratulated. There were also mood-setting dance times and audience participation, including Tahitian dance and Hula songs.
On the way back, the bus was waiting at the exit, but if you take your time and look around, you might be able to take photos with performers in Polynesian costumes. The group photo we took at the beginning was not in the exhibition area; the bus guide had it and was waiting for us.
I thought the content was a bit pricey, but if you want to experience an American-style atmosphere, I recommend it.
コンドミニアムに滞在していたので最も近いハイアットリージェンシーホテル前に集合し、順次4ケ所から乗車、ほぼ満席の状態で出発しました。
日本人は私たち2人だけとの事で最前列に座るよう指示がありました。基本的に英語説明ですが、日本語のメモを見て大体分かります。
パラダイスコーブに到着後は席決め後は全くの自由行動。園内は狭いものの積極的にイベントに参加しないと退屈して終います。ただ余程英語が達者でないとアート作りは後回しされ嫌な思いをする事が多々あります。
次に席決めですが基本的には上クラスが真ん中、スタンダードは端席でバス#ごとに決められラストネームを書き入れ指定席になります。
ウエルカムドリンクから終了するまでマイタイジュースを3杯飲みましたがとても美味しかったです。
セレモニーもあり、珍しいカルアピックは美味、ポイは不味いのでロミロミサーモンと混ぜると美味しく戴けます。
デザートはケーキ、フルーツ、コーヒー共充実していました。
ショータイムの間にはシンガー兼司会者が観客に語りかけ、ゲスト参加の場面が多々あり盛り上がります。記念日に当たった人は立ち上がり祝福されます。ムードあるダンスタイムや観客参加もあり、タヒチダンスやフキラウソングも一緒に踊ったりします。
帰りは出口でバス#が待っていますが慌てずゆっくり周囲を見渡すとポリネシアン衣装の出演者と写真が撮れそうです。
最初に撮影したグループ写真は展示場にはなく、バスガイドさんが持って待っていました。
内容的には少し高めかなぁと思いますがアメリカ的な雰囲気を味わうならお勧めです。

I participated with my parents and my three children. Although I can hardly speak English, I signed up as a memorable experience for my first trip abroad. When I requested a Japanese brochure, the bus guide named "Mark" was able to speak Japanese and provided us with attentive service, making our experience very enjoyable. He mentioned he was an elementary school teacher and took great care of the children, going above and beyond.
After arriving, there were events like tattoo painting, palm tree climbing, and beach net fishing, which we enjoyed with the kids. There were probably more people from the mainland United States, as everyone was very lively, and the atmosphere during the hula show was fun. The children also had a chance to dance, and all three of them went up on stage, creating wonderful memories.
We were the only Japanese family there, but it was a fun show that allowed us to feel the foreign culture.
The only issue was that the pickup bus was about 30 minutes late, which made me anxious, so I asked the hotel front desk to make a call for me. (I was worried about not being able to speak English in that situation.)
I would love to go again if I have the opportunity.
父母、私、子ども3人で参加しました。
英語がほぼ話せないのですが、初海外の記念?に申込行ってきました。
日本語のパンフレット希望とリクエストしたところ、バス専属のガイドさんが「マーク」さんとおっしゃいましたが、日本語のできる方で、丁寧に対応してくださってとても楽しめました。小学校の先生との事で子どもの事も気にかけてくださり至れりつくせりしていただきました。
到着後、タトゥーペイントやヤシの木のぼり、地引き網などイベントがあり子どもたちと楽しみました。
多分アメリカ本土からの方が多いのでしょうか、みんなとってものりのりで楽しい雰囲気の中のフラショーで楽しかったです。
子どもたちの踊る時間もあり、3人とも舞台に上がっておどったりして楽しい思い出ができました。
日本人は私たち家族だけでしたが、異国を感じられる楽しいショーでした
困った事と言えば迎えのバスが30分くらい遅れて、不安になりホテルのフロントの方にお願いして電話をしていただきました。(ここだけは英語できないのが不安でした)
また機会があれば行きたいです。
Thank you for enjoying Paradise Cove. Regarding the transportation, we apologize for the delay in pick-up due to heavy traffic caused by an event in Waikiki on that day. We are sorry for any anxiety this may have caused you. We look forward to serving you again.

Actually, I didn't have high expectations at first, but I'm really glad I went!!
The purpose is to protect the culture, so they primarily have shows featuring students from various regions. I was really surprised, but it was quite authentic.
Rather than going to see glamorous shows like hula, it has a stronger focus on feeling and understanding the culture, so some people might find it boring, but I think it's something everyone should see at least once.
Experiencing unique foods, feeling the traditions of the various Polynesian islands, being moved by the shows, and being overwhelmed by the energy of the students... I truly felt it was worth participating.
If you have the time, I definitely recommend checking it out!
実は、はじめはそんなに期待していなかったのですが、実際行って良かったです!!
文化の保護が目的ということで、基本的に各地域出身の学生さんショーなどをやっています。
すごく驚きましたが、ちゃんと本格的です。
フラとかの華やかなショーなどを見に行くというよりは、もっと文化を感じる・文化を理解するという性格が強いので、人によってはつまらないと感じる人もいるかもしれませんが、一度は見るべきだと思いました。
未体験の食べ物を体験したり、ポリネシアの各島々の伝統を感じたり、ショーに感動したり、学生さんたちのパワーに圧倒されたり…と、本当に参加して良かったと思います。
時間に余裕があればぜひ行ってみてください!

During our second trip to Hawaii, my husband and I participated in the "GO! Native Luau," which was recommended on alan1.net. It's great that you can easily and enjoyably experience the real Hawaii (Polynesia). Many people, including myself, might think that hula dancing is all the same, but hula varies from island to island in Polynesia, and they guide you to understand these differences well. Some people prefer hula shows held at hotels, but by coming here, you can immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture and lifestyle, try various local dishes, and even paddle a canoe. It's wonderful that the course fee includes meals and offers a variety of free experiences. Although we didn't know much about Hawaii, visiting this place allowed us to feel a deeper connection to Hawaiian culture than we expected. In particular, the "HA: Breath of Life Show" that we saw at the end captivated both of us with its story (be sure to read the simple program written in the pamphlet before the show). I definitely think this is a course you should visit first.
ハワイ2度目の私達夫婦は、alan1.netでお勧めコースになっていた「GO!ネイティブ ルアウ」に参加しました。簡単に楽しく本当のハワイ(ポリネシア)に触れられるところがイイですね。私を含め多くの人はフラダンスは全部一緒だと思っているのではないのでしょうか。ポリネシアの島ごとにフラダンスは違い、またその違いが良く解るように案内しています。ホテル等で行われているフラショーのほうがいいという人もいますが、ここに行けばハワイの文化や生活に触れられる上にロコの食事も数種類は試食できますし、カヌーを漕いだりもできます。とにかくコース料金に食事が付いているうえに無料でいろいろな体験できるのは良いですね。ハワイについてよく解っていない私達でしたが、ここを訪れた事によってハワイ文化を思っていたよりも深く感ずる事が出来ました。特に最後に見た「HA:ブレス・オブ・ライフショー」は、二人とも思わずストーリーにのめり込んでしまいました(ショーの前にパンフレットの中に書かれている簡単なプログラムを読んでみるべし)。是非、最初に行っておきたいコースだと思います。

We departed from the Ko Olina area.
There is a shuttle bus in the Ko Olina area, so please check the pickup time with your hotel concierge.
If possible, it's nice to give a tip of about $1 to $2.
It's unclear whether there is a pickup from the tour company. When I asked the concierge, they seemed unsure...
It's a 5-6 minute walk from Aulani.
Since I wasn't sure about the shuttle bus time for the return trip, I returned with others heading in the same direction.
☆ The tour is conducted entirely in English.
There are American jokes, but I found them quite confusing;
If you're looking for a tour in Japanese, I recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center.
☆ For those who can't eat Hawaiian cuisine, the food might be challenging.
The haupia (coconut) jelly was delicious.
I was surprised by the size of the cucumbers in the salad and ended up joking with an American man at a nearby table about "glasses~~" (laughs).
He made me laugh even more...
☆ If you choose a more expensive course for the show, the view might be far and hard to see...
The staff will bring the food to you, but if you don't like not being able to choose your favorite dishes, I recommend the cheaper option.
☆ There are also guest participation shows.
Boyfriends, fathers, and husbands may get pulled up to participate in the show.
I wouldn't recommend it for shy people or those who might get angry. Please participate actively!
☆ The scenery is amazing.
Especially the sunset, which you can enjoy slowly since it's located on the western tip of Hawaii.
☆ Hawaiian experiences include tattooing (non-permanent), crown making, and lei making.
You can participate even if you don't understand the language, but if you take it easy, the next event will start in no time.
☆ Drinks
I got a bit flustered and ended up with one extra ticket;
There are both cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails.
The preparation is quite casual, so don't worry too much about it.
The alcohol is strong, so you might get quite tipsy...
☆ Photos
They are available for a fee, but how about getting one as a keepsake?
* $15 per photo.
Since various people participate, if you can actively engage, you can overcome the language barrier.
コオリナ地区からの出発でした。
コオリナ地区はシャトルバスがあるので、ホテルのコンシェルジュにピックアップ時間をご確認ください。
なるべくでしたら、チップを1~2ドルくらい出すと良いです。
催行会社からのピックアップあるのかは不明です。
コンシェルジュに聞いたら「???」状態だったので・・・。
アウラニからは徒歩5~6分です。

日本語ツアーを求めるならポリネシアン文化センターをオススメします。
☆お食事はハワイアン料理が食べれない方には難しいです。
ハウピア(ココナッツ)ゼリーは美味しかったです。
サラダのキュウリの大きさに驚いて近くの席のアメリカ人のおじさんと「眼鏡~~」と言って遊んでしまいました(笑)
おじさんはそれ以上に笑わせてくれましたが・・・。
☆ショーは高いコースだと遠くて見づらいかも・・・。
お料理は係の方が持ってきてくれますが、好きな料理を持ってこれないのがイヤならお安い方をオススメします。

The support from the Japanese staff has improved compared to before, and the quality of the Polynesian show has significantly increased, allowing me to experience delightful surprises multiple times. I have seen luau shows in various places and islands, but I always find myself returning here.
It's a place that moves me every time I visit. Thank you very much.

When I came to Hawaii before, during the sunset cruise, there was dancing right in front of me, and jumping in to participate was so much fun.

First of all, even though the meeting place was our hotel, it took a while for the guide to be identified. It seems that the dancer who was performing was the guide. We saw other tourists talking to that dancer and being taken somewhere, so we decided to try asking them too, and we were able to arrive safely.
Then, there was a long line to the venue, and it took a lot of time before we could take our seats. Since we had reserved Golden Circle seats, we sat in the front row, and those in the Golden Circle were prioritized for food, so we could start eating quickly. However, those in the regular seats seemed to go for food more than 30 minutes later, so I definitely recommend reserving Golden Circle seats.
Also, when ordering beer, it seems that Japanese people are often perceived as looking younger, so they checked our age. In our case, they didn't ask for a passport, but if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring an ID that shows your age.
The show featured dancers changing outfits one after another, and we got to see various dances. Personally, I found the solo dance of a little girl to be incredibly cute!
まず、集合場所が自分たちの宿泊ホテルだったにも関わらず、案内人が判明するまで時間がかかりました(A;´・ω・)
ダンスパフォーマンスをしていたダンサーさんが案内人だったみたいですw
他の観光客らしき人たちが、そのダンサーさんに声をかけてどこかに連れて行かれるのを見て、試しに声をかけると、私たちも無事、到着できた感じです。
そして会場まで長蛇の列で、席につくまでとても時間がかかりました。
ゴールデンサークル席を予約していたので、一番前の席に座り、ゴールデンは食事を取りに行くのも優先なので、早く食べ始めることができましたが、普通席の方々は30分以上も後に食事を取りに行くかんじなので、ぜひゴールデンサークル席を予約されることをお勧めします☆
あとはビール注文時に、やはり日本人は若く見られるらしく年齢を確認されたので(20代後半の私)、私たちの場合はパスポート提示までは求められませんでしたが、心配な方は年齢がわかる身分証を持って行かれたほうが良いかと思います。

Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.
We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!

The show was in English, so I thought it would be more enjoyable if I understood the language, but the show itself was powerful and wonderful, so I was glad to participate. The food was decent, and it was interesting to have Hawaiian food as well. During the show, people celebrating their birthdays or those visiting for their honeymoon were brought to the front to be celebrated, which I think made for great memories. However, the Japanese honeymoon couple seemed a bit shy while dancing together to the live band.
ショーは英語なので、言葉が分かるともっと楽しめると思いましたが、ショー自体が迫力があってすばらしいので、参加して良かった。食事もまあまあで、ハワイアンフードもありめずらしかった。ショーの中で今日が誕生日の人や今回ハネムーンで訪れている人など特別な人が前にでてみんなにお祝いされるのも、いい思い出になると思いました。ただ、日本人のハネムーンカップルは生バンドに合わせて抱き合いながらのダンスはちょっとはずかしそうでしたよ。

First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.
I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.
The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!
This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared
