All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I participated in the evening on the day of arrival. I was wondering how the sunset would be since there were clouds, but it was visible at times through the clouds, and I was moved. There were only one or two other Japanese people besides us. Music was playing, and the foreigners were really into it. There were free drinks, including beer, Mai Tai, and soft drinks, for two hours. I also purchased a photo taken before boarding as a memory. I highly recommend it.

到着日の夕方に参加しました。
雲が出ていたので夕日はどうかなと思いましたが、時々雲の間から見えて
感動しました。
日本人は私たちともう1組くらいしかいませんでした。
音楽がかかっていて、外国人はノリノリ。
2時間の間ビールやマイタイ、ソフトドリンクのフリードリンク付きです。
乗る前に撮っていただいた写真も思い出に購入しました。
おすすめです。

It felt really good!
It was a tour with few Japanese people.
I’m not good at English, and while they explained things in a fun way with jokes, I just couldn’t understand!

とても気持ちよかったー！
日本人が少ないツアーだった。
英語が苦手で、、、ジョークを交えながら楽しく説明してくれていたが、どうも分からなかった！

The fireworks were very beautiful and moving.

However, it was very disappointing that the people at the front were drunk, throwing their drinks into the sea and vomiting in the water.

花火がとても綺麗で感動しました。


でも先頭に乗ってた方々が酔っ払って、
お酒を海に捨てたり、海に吐いたりしていて
とても残念でした。。

Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.

残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

I joined the tour on the recommendation of a local friend, and the crew was really fun, making it enjoyable even for those who don't understand much English! The weather was great, and it was truly the best! I would love to join again if I have the chance! It can be a bit windy and chilly on the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

現地の友達に勧められて参加したツアーでしたが、船員さんも凄くノリが良く英語があまり分からなくても楽しめました！天気も良くて本当に最高でした！！また機会があれば参加したいと思いました！船の上は少し風も強く肌寒いので、薄手のジャンパーぐらいは持って行った方がいいと思います。

Since we decided to meet on-site, I will head to the venue by 6:30 PM. If you show your reservation screen at the reception, they will guide you. First, we will toast with a welcome drink, then enjoy a buffet while listening to music and watching hula performances. The dining area is right next to the reception, not inside the venue.

I thought it might be fine not to include a meal, but since there will be hula performances during the meal and the people who bring drinks are also part of the show, I think it would be nice to remember their faces for a different kind of enjoyment during the show.

After the meal, we will enter the venue and freely look at the exhibits before heading to the second-floor seating. The seating arrangement is determined by the order of entry. When we went, we were able to sit in the very front of the second floor. It seems that on the first floor, you can watch the show while dining.

The show starts with visuals, upbeat music, and hula dancing. The impersonation show is entirely in English, so if you don't understand English, you might miss some of the fun. However, the Elvis impersonator came to the second floor and even shook hands, making it a vibrant show that I would recommend for those who love glamorous performances and rock music.

Both during the meal and the show, the vibe is very American, so I had the impression that, including us, the Japanese audience might not be fully in sync. However, the dynamic stage with quick changes in costumes and stage impressions kept us entertained throughout the slightly over one-hour show, making for a wonderful and enjoyable night.

現地集合にしたので18時30分までに会場へ向かいます。
受付で予約画面を見せると案内してもらえます。
まずはウエルカムドリンクで乾杯したあとに音楽を聞きながら、フラを見ながらのバイキングです。
食事場所は会場の中ではなく受付のすぐとなりになります。

食事の内容的には付けなくてもいいかなーと思いましたが、食事中にフラを披露したりドリンクを持ってきてくれた人がショーにも出ているので、顔を覚えているとショー中も別な楽しみ方があると思います。

食事のあとは会場内に入り展示品などを自由に見てから２階席へ。入った順番で座る場所が決まります。
私たちの時は２階席の一番前に座ることができました。１階では食事をしながらショーが見れるようです。

ショーは映像と軽快な音楽とフラダンスではじまります。
ものまねショーはすべて英語なので英語がわからないと面白さは若干劣るような気がしますが、2階席までエルビスのそっくりさんが来てくれたり握手をしてくれたりするので華やかなショーやロックが好きな方にはおすすめです。

食事中もショー中もノリがアメリカンなので私たちも含め、日本人はノリ切れてないかなー？という印象でしたが、1時間ちょっとのショーの中で衣装もステージの印象も短時間で変化をさせながら迫力あるステージで最後まで飽きさせない演出はとても素晴らしく楽しい夜を過ごせました。

What I love about this show is its variety performance. It has hula dances, Michael Jackson, Elvis and fire eater. All the performances were very good. I love Elvis. I would have loved to see more hula dances but overall it was good. Also, I wish it was a little longer. We opted for the pre-performance buffet dinner and it was good too. The band was good as well. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is worth it. It is not the usual luau but it had a las vegas impersonators. My family enjoyed it including my teenage kids. It is for all ages. Very well choreographed. Love that it is inside an indoor theatre.

It was my second time at the Polynesian Cultural Center show, and the content was different from last time. The story format made it very enjoyable. However, it was disappointing that alcohol was not available during the meal.

２度目のポリネシアン文化センターのショーでしたが
前回とは内容も変わり、ストーリー形式でとても楽しめました
ただ、食事の時アルコールが飲めなくなっていたのは残念でした

It was a sunset tour, but we couldn't see the sunset at all, so it was just a tour to enjoy drinks, which was a bit disappointing... The people who were lively and entertaining were truly wonderful.

サンセットツアーなのに夕日が全く見えなくて、お酒を飲んで楽しむだけのツアーで、少しガッカリしました。。。
盛り上げていた方は、本当に素敵な人達でした。

My encounter with Presley happened when the café run by my relatives was closing down. I was told I could take as many records as I wanted from the store, and among them was a flashy record featuring Presley in a red aloha shirt, which was from Blue Hawaii. From that point on, I became completely hooked on Presley instead of the Beatles. Even though I traveled to Hawaii every year, I avoided impersonations, but on my family's recommendation, I saw a show for the first time. Presley was, of course, amazing, and some of the dancers reminded me of the times I danced when I was young, creating wonderful memories.

プレスリーとの出会いは、親族の経営する喫茶店が閉店することになり、店で使用していたレコード、好きなだけ持って帰っていいと言われその中に、赤いアロハシャツを着た派手なレコードがあり、それがブルーハワイのプレスリーでした、それからはビートルズではなくプレスリーに完全にはまり込みました、それだけに、毎年ハワイに旅行に行っても、物まねは嫌と避けていましたが、家族のすすめで初めてショウーを見てプレスリーは勿論素晴らしかったし、ダンサー達の何人かは幼い時に踊っていたときを思い出させてくれて、すばらしい思い出になりました。

I highly recommend this show. It is one of a kind show. It is a luau with Las Vegas flare. I particularly loved Elvis. I wish he could have sang some more songs but it was still a great show. All the performances were outstanding. The band was good too. Also the fire dance was great. My kids enjoyed it. Do not hesitate to watch the show. When I come back to Honolulu I want to watch it again. We had the dinner buffet before the show and the food was great too. It included a free maitai. I also like that it was in an enclosed theatre. Rock a hula, you rock. I would not hesitate to watch it again.

The fireworks were very beautiful.
The boat was small, and I mistakenly made a reservation thinking it was a dinner cruise on a large ship.

花火はとても綺麗でした。
船が小さく、大型船でのディナークルーズと勘違いして予約してしまいました。

You can see traditional Hawaiian dances. The dinner buffet is also delicious. If I had more time, I would have liked to join a tour to visit and experience the Polynesian Cultural Center during the day, but I could only find time in the evening.

ハワイの伝統的な踊りを見れます。夕食のブッフェもおいしいです。時間があれば、昼間から、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターを見学・体験するツアーに参加したかったですが、夕方しか時間が取れませんでした

The meal was neither good nor bad.
The guide spoke quickly, which made it a bit difficult to understand.
The show was wonderful, even though I didn't understand the words.
I was worried about bringing my mischievous kids, aged 3 and 1, thinking they might walk around or make noise, but they were really captivated, which relieved my concerns.
They kept saying, "So cool! Amazing!"
I'm really glad I went; it was truly impressive!

食事は良くもなく悪くもなくといった感じ。
ガイドは早口で少し聞き取りにくかったです。
ショーは言葉はわからなかったけれどとても素晴らしかったです。
やんちゃな子供たち3歳と1歳を連れていき
たち歩くかも…騒いでしまうかも…と心配していましたが、ほんとに釘付けで安心しました。
かっこいい！すごい！を連発していました。
ほんとにかっこよくいって良かったなーとおもいました！！

It was different from the image of the impersonation rock show that was on TV about seven years ago. Neither Elvis nor Michael looked alike at all, and their singing and voices were not similar, which was disappointing! However, the surrounding band and dancing were very good!

７年位前にコマーでやっていたモノマネロックショウのイメージとは違いました。エルビスもマイケルも全く顔も似ていないし歌も声も似て居なくてガッカリ！しかし周りのバンド、踊りはとても良かった！

All day excursion. Wonderful experience. Our guide, Stau, was enthusiastic, fun, and knowledgeable. The different villages, with all of the friendly people, entertainment, and learning opportunities were well done. The luau was good. The Ha, Breath of Life show was amazing. Will go again next time I visit Hawaii. Thanks so much for the experience.

This will be a repeat visit.
The scenery, the wind, and the vibe are truly amazing.
It can get a bit chilly when you head out to sea, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.
I will use this service again.

リピートの利用になります。
風景も風もノリも本当に最高です。
沖に出るとちょっと寒いので上着を持って行くといいかも。
また利用します。

We participated as a mature couple. Our understanding of English is just enough to grasp what is being said, but we had an amazing time. The cheerful captain and the foreign participants really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a fun cruise. We were also deeply moved by the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the beauty of the sunset from the sea. We definitely want to participate again next time!

熟年夫婦で、参加しました。英語は、なんとなく言ってることが理解できる程度の私達ですが、最高に楽しめました。陽気なキャプテンや外国人の参加者が場を盛り上げてくれ楽しいクルーズとなりました。また、海から見るワイキキの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サンセットの美しさに大変感動しました。次回も絶対参加したい！

It was a great seat, but I wanted to see more from the center! I definitely want to come again. The tour bus guides, two university students, were cheerful and articulate, which made the experience very pleasant.

いい席でしたがもっと真ん中で観たい！またぜひ来たいです。ツアーのバスのガイドさん、大学生のふたりも明るくハキハキしていてとても気持ちよかったです。

This was a great show. We have been to luaus before and we promise not to do it again because we feel that they are way overpriced but we decided to gamble on this one since it had great reviews and it sounded different with the rock and roll and boy it did not disappoint. Our whole party of 6 really enjoyed the show from beginning to end. I highly recommend this show to everyone. My favorite was Elvis. Its like watching Vegas in Hawaii. The buffet dinner was good too. The roast pork was great. They also had tofu and other vegetables for my vegan daughter. Very well organized and everybody was great.

The concert features high-level singers and dancers, making it a rich experience. The appeal lies in being able to enjoy hula and fire dancing simultaneously, but the number of dancers left a slightly small impression.

歌手やダンサーのレベルは高く内容が濃いコンサートです。フラやファイヤーダンスも同時に楽しめる点が魅力ですが、ダンサー数の規模感が若干こじんまりの印象は残りました。

Honestly guys, this is a must do when you go to Oahu. You get to learn about the Polynesian culture while having fun! The center was huge and there’s lots of activities to do throughout the day. There’s several shows that we’re OUTSTANDING!!! The food at the luau was amazing as well. The final show: HA, was sooo good, it’s a must see. Highly recommend!

We didn't apply for VIP, so we first had a meal on the terrace while listening to music and watching hula. The food was delicious! We moved indoors and got to see a lot of songs and hula in the show. The hula was really cute!

私たちはVIPを申し込まなかったので、まずはテラスで音楽を聴きながらとフラを見ながら食事しました。ご飯も美味しかったです！室内に移動してショーも沢山の歌やフラを見れました。フラがすごく可愛かったです！

Had a good time- definitely recommend. Crew were fun and drinks were good!

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment

Overall the whole experience was great. Loved how everyone very involved and interacting with the audience. Loved the setup of how they lead us from one place to the next and drinks were amazing. Also loved how Elvis came to up to my baby. This was definitely my top experience in Hawaii this week. I felt as if I was in a movie because everyone was so friendly and we’re treating us all so nicely. The involvement of the employees from the dinner to the show was amazing on how they were involved The Who way through. I’m happy this was one of the first things we did on our list because it made the trip start of very good.

Great Crew, very good food, meet a lot of nice people. Enjoyed the beautiful sunset and fireworks!! Definitely a must do while in Waikiki. Was the best way to end our Hawaii holiday!!

We participated with eight people.
Michael was a bit on the heavier side with a bit of a belly, which disappointed everyone, but Elvis was perfect in both singing and appearance!!!
After the show, he took pictures and signed autographs, and everyone was thrilled.
Definitely give it a try at least once!

８人で参加しました
マイケルはちょっと太めでお腹出てて みんながっかりだったけど
エルビスは歌も容姿もバッチリ！！！
ショー終了後に、写真撮ってくれたりサイン書いてくれたりと喜んでました
是非一度は体験下さい！

Since the premium seats were fully booked, I participated in the standard seats. It was a time of unusual weather with a lot of rain and clouds, but fortunately, it cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the show with a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the ocean. I was satisfied with the variety of entertainment, including singing, hula dancing, live ukulele performances, and a fire show. For those who have never seen a Hawaiian show, I think it's a great option to enjoy with family for a special occasion. There were also many children present.

プレミア席が満席だったためスタンダード席で参加。
異常気象で雨や曇りが多い時期でしたが、運良く晴れてダイヤモンドヘッド、海も綺麗に見える中でショーを楽しめました。
歌、フラ含めた踊り、ウクレレ生演奏、ファイヤーショーなどいろいろなものを楽しむことができ満足です。ハワイアンショーをまだ見たことが無い方は、何かの記念日などにご家族で利用するのもとても良いと思います。子供もたくさんいました。
