All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The band performance and stage were only on the second floor, and you couldn't access them from the deck. If there hadn't been fireworks, this tour would have offered nothing besides the cruise for this price. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sorry.

バンド演奏やステージも2階のみでデッキから降りても入れない状態でした。
これで花火がなかったらクルーズ以外なにもないツアーでこの値段、個人的にはお勧めしません。ごめんなさい。

Very cool to see and hear about all the history of the PCC. This is me and my wife's first time going to the PCC and Hawaii and let's just say that this is a must! Loved every second of it! Will be back again!

I thought it was a bit expensive, but the show was impressive, the location was great, and the food was really delicious. The male dancers were cool!

I opted for the premium plan, but I don't think there was much difference in viewing the show. It was more about being able to eat first at the buffet. I'm not sure about the standard seats, but the seats at the very back were arranged as round tables for 5-6 people, and you could see the stage directly, so that might have been better. The show is conducted in English, but there was someone who explained the process of making clothes from tree bark in Japanese.

ちょっと高いかなと思っていましたが、ショーは見ごたえがあり、ロケーションがよくて、食事もすごく美味しかったです。
メンズのダンサーがかっこよかったですよ～

プレミアムプランにしていましたが、ショーの観覧にはあまり差はなかったと思います。どちらかというと、食事（ビュッフェ）が先に食べられるということだけかな。スタンダード席かどうかわかりませんが、一番後方の席が5－6人の丸テーブルになっていて、正面にステージが見られるので、そのほうが良かったかな。
ショーは英語で行われますが、その前の木の皮から服を作る工程については、日本語での説明をしてくれるひとがいました。

Until dinner, I wondered if I could eat more, so I chose this. Also, the all-you-can-drink option was appealing.

There were four types of appetizers, but since we had a late lunch, this was enough for us. Among them, two were edamame and yakitori. The rest included fruit, meatballs, and a variety of drinks like sparkling wine, wine, beer, and soft drinks, so I had no complaints.

This price includes a tip. We were the only Japanese people who ordered this course, so it really felt like we were in a foreign country. It was like watching a movie with foreign couples of all ages around us. Next to us was a couple celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary from Texas. I spoke with a refined lady from New York in the restroom, and we were able to communicate even with my limited English conversation skills.

As a bonus, on the way back, we were so drunk that we fell asleep on the bus. The driver probably thought, "What should I do with these guys?" and woke us up to ask where we were going, then kindly dropped us off right in front of our hotel. Thank you for your help!

ディナーまで、食べれるかな？て事で、
こちらを選びました。それと、飲み放題が、魅力でした。
アペタイザーは四種類でしたが、お昼が、遅かったので、私たちにはこれで十分でした。このうち、二種は枝豆、焼き鳥でした。後はフルーツ、ミートボール、飲みホも、スパークリングワイン、ワイン、ビール多種、ソフトドリンクで、不満はありません、
チップ付きで、このお値段です。
このコースを頼んだのは日本人は私達だけでしたから、外国に来た感が、半端なかったです。外人カップルの老若男女問わず、映画を見てるみたいでした。お隣はテキサスから来られた結婚20周年のご夫婦。トイレでお話ししたのはNYから来られた上品なご婦人。拙い英会話でもコミュニケーションとれました。
おまけなんですが、帰りのバスで、酔って爆睡してた私たち。ドライバーさんが、多分？こいつらどうしようって事でどこまで？って起こされて、ホテルの前まで送って下さいました。お世話かけました。ありがとうございました。

Superrrr fun will definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We participated with a total of nine relatives. The weather was great, and the sunset over Honolulu from the boat was amazing. There were not many Japanese people, but several military parties were on board, and everyone was having a great time from the start. The boat didn't rock too much, so I didn't get seasick. Next time I come to Honolulu, I would love to go again.

親類総勢９名で参加しました。天気もよく船上から見るホノルルの夕焼けは最高でした。日本人は少なく軍人のパーティが何組か乗船して出発から大乗で楽しんでいました。船はそんなに揺れなくて船酔いはしませんでした。
次回、ホノルルに来たら又、乗りたいです。

This event was outstanding - an excellent way to see so many of the major sites on the island and experience all the Polynesian Cultural Center has to offer. The tour guide was exceptional- providing a lot of interesting information about the various places we visited. Our stops were just the right amount of time to allow us to take pictures and explore a little. My personal favorite was Hanauma Bay - such a beautiful view. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see when you visit the island - such interesting and lesser known facts about the history of the Center - and an outstanding luau and show.

I arranged this as a surprise for my 85 year old mother for her first trip to Hawaii. She was so thrilled and very impressed by the young lady (Briana) who met us with the lei and took pictures of us together. It was the perfect start to a beautiful and memorable vacation. My mom wore the lei for several days and couldn’t resist telling everybody about her experience

The food was very good. You get about 30 mins between the food and show to go to the top and see the sunset. Good spot for pictures. Then you come back down for dessert and a show, the show was okay. After that they have dancing you dont have to participate if you do not want to. You can pay for additional drinks.

From the greeters to the servers to the Chief himself, everyone treated us like we were a part of the family. It felt like a big family reunion.
The food was delicious, and even if you're vegetarian or vegan like me, there are plenty of options! I had a mountain of food on my plate and didn't leave hungry.
The entertainment was my favorite part. Talented hula and warrior dancers performed traditional dances from various regions of Polynesia. So it was both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this luau!

On Friday we were lucky enough to enjoy the Friday fireworks boat cruise. It was so easy to book, easy to find the pick up location on the beach and so relaxing! All of the staff were so accommodating; offering us a range of alcoholic and soft drinks and making us feel so comfortable. The music was great too and they took requests! Super relaxing with lots of great photo opportunities and then we stopped at a good location to enjoy the fireworks. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will do again! Thank you- really set our last night in Hawaii up to be the best!

I made a reservation for my mother, who loves hula. The weather was favorable in early April, and it was comfortable at first, but as the sun went down, it became chilly, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The show was of high quality, and I was satisfied to be able to show her authentic hula. This time, I chose the Golden Seat, but since we arrived late, we ended up with seats on the edge, which was disappointing. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the Diamond Seat and see it up close.

今回フラの好きな母のために予約しました。
４月上旬天候にめぐまれ最初快適でしたが、日が落ちると
やはり肌寒く上着を持参すればと後悔しました。
ショーは完成度が高く、本場のフラを見せてあげることができて
満足しました。今回はゴールデンシートにしましたが遅めに到着したため
端の席になり残念でした。次回はぜひダイヤモンドシートで予約し
間近で見たいと思います。

The reception was a bit hard to find, and I had to search for it a little. First, I moved to a spot where I could see the fireworks well and enjoyed a drink (most people had Mai Tais) while watching the fireworks. The wind was calm, and I had a pleasant time. After the fireworks ended, we went sailing out to Diamond Head and circled back to in front of the Sheraton. As we moved away from the lights of Honolulu, the stars became beautifully visible.

受付は少し分かり辛く、ちょっと探してしまいました。
まずは花火が良く見える場所まで移動しドリンク（ほとんどの方がマイタイでした）を頂きながら花火を鑑賞。風も穏やかで気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。花火が終わると、ダイヤモンドヘッド沖までセーリングし、ぐるっと回ってシェラトン前まで戻ります。
ホノルルの光から遠ざかるので星もきれいに見えます。

We participated as a family. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there was a wide variety of delicious dishes.

家族で参加しました。スタッフの方たちは笑顔で気配りもよく、料理の品数も豊富でとても美味しかったです。

It was fun, drinks were good. Perfect place to see the fireworks on Waikiki Beach.

Good view and good drinks out on the water . Great time with friends

Fun way to get out of the water after sunset and watch the firework show!

I had a great time. Very scenic tour and great for groups.

This luau show was a bit different from what I've seen before, and as expected from Hilton, it was great! I had a very good seat in the front center. However, since the venue is relatively small, I think the experience would still be quite impressive from any front row seat, not just the center ones.

今まで見たのとは少し違うアレンジされたルアウショーでさすがヒルトン！！
前方中央席でとても良かったです。
ただ、会場が割と狭いので中央席じゃなくても前方席なら迫力も対して変わらないかなと思いました。

Every time I participate in the shuttle service, I see improvements, and the dance show is quite impressive. If I had to wish for something, it would be for the food (buffet) to be improved, which would make it truly unique.

送迎等参加する都度、改善され、ダンスショーは、見応え十分。欲くを言えば食事（ブッフェ）が改味されれば唯一無二になるのでは・・・。

This is my second time. I became a repeat visitor just to see Michael. The Polynesian show is also very impressive. It has become one of my favorite activities in Waikiki.

今回で二回目です。マイケル観たさにリピーターになってしまいました。ポリネシアンショーも見応え十分です。ワイキキでの楽しみの一つになりました。

My friends and I had a wonderful time watching the fireworks and listening to dance music. The crew was very nice and filled our drinks very quick. I would recommend this tour for everyone. Also the temperature was perfect !

We were impressed with the boat. Excellent captain. Fun music and we went on a Friday for fireworks! Loved it! Suggest you do it on the Friday or any night during sunset. The sunset happens very quickly keep your camera ready!

There were more Japanese participants than I expected.
Since it wasn't a large ship, there were times when we got splashed by the waves, but in some areas, we didn't get wet.
The sunset was beautiful because the weather was nice, and I could see it very clearly while holding a Mai Tai!
Next time, I would like to participate when I can see the fireworks on Friday.

思っていたより日本人参加者が多かったです。
大型船ではないため波がかかることもありましたが、場所によっては濡れることはありませんでした。
サンセットも天気がよかったため、マイタイ片手にとてもきれいに見れました！！
次回は金曜の花火をみれるときに参加してみたいです。

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です！

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.

This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!

My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.

Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.

The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!

Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.

Thumbs up!

The sunset was incredibly beautiful and moving. The rocking was more intense than I expected, and almost all the Japanese passengers were down (laughs). If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be better to skip it. I had a great time, but my wife was on the verge of throwing up. In a way, it became a good memory!

夕日は最高に綺麗で、感動的でした。
揺れは思っているよりも激しく、乗っている日本人はほぼ全員ダウンしていました(笑)
酔いやすい方はやめておいた方が良いかも。
私はすごく楽しかったですが、妻は吐く寸前でした。ある意味良い思い出になりました！

Was a great experience. Picked us up outside our place on the beach (Moana Surfrider). The crew were super hospitable and provided a good atmosphere to enjoy the Friday Night Fireworks. Great spot and cold drinks.

We did the Friday night fireworks cruise and it was a blast! Fantastic crew that made sure the drinks were always flowing, so much fun!
