All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The staff warmly welcomed us and took commemorative photos. After boarding, the 3rd floor has a dinner class, while the 2nd floor offers appetizers. We were able to enjoy a buffet of light snacks (like meatballs) on the 2nd floor, where there were few passengers and the spacious interior of the ship allowed us to relax. There was live music on board that we could enjoy until we docked. The staff's service was also good. We went around the back of Diamond Head and returned, but since it was a new ship, we didn't experience any seasickness and were able to dock smoothly. The price was reasonable, and I highly recommend it.

出迎えではスタッフが丁寧に出迎え記念写真を撮ってくださいました。
乗船後３Fはディナーがあるクラスですが２Fはアペタイトです。私達は２Fで乗船客も少なくゆったりと広々とした船内で食べ放題の軽食（ミートボールなど）をたくさん食べることができました。船内では生演奏があり入港まで聞くことができました。スタッフの対応も良かったです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで行き引き返しますが、新しい船なので船酔いすることもなく寄港することができました。
値段も安くておすすめです。

The captain and the staff provided entertainment beyond my expectations.

This was just luck, but when I was on board, there was a group of ten ladies from Kansai, so the loud Kansai dialect was constantly heard, which ruined the atmosphere. (It's not that the Kansai dialect is bad, but the ladies from Kansai...)

Well, it seems that some of the cheerful people didn't mind.

Anyway, if the people you share the ride with are good, it can be incredibly fun.

キャプテンなどの対応は思ってた以上に楽しませてくれました。
これは運でしかないですが、私が乗った時には関西のオバチャン10名の集団が一緒だったため、ずっと関西弁の大声が聞こえて雰囲気台無しでした。(関西弁が悪いのではなく、関西弁のオバチャンが...................)

まぁ、一部の陽気な方々は気にしていなかったみたいです。



とにかく、乗りあった人が良ければ最高に楽しいです。

This was a very fun and educational experience. I learned a lot about the Polynesian islands and their different cultures. I would recommend booking with a tour guide if you would like to see all the villages in one day. The night show finale was the best part. I was pretty exhausted by the end of the day from having so much fun and the long drive there and back. I also recommend setting aside an entire day if you're interested in going to PCC.

I had completely forgotten about the lei and was so thrilled when we entered the arrival lounge and saw the message. Thanks, it was perfect.

It seems that it was fully booked if you don't make a reservation. I made friends with a cool senior couple during my stay in Hawaii. This cruise made me feel like I want to become a Hawaii freak. I recommend it for the day of arrival. It's perfect for overcoming jet lag. I'm really glad I utilized the Bellagio reservation.

予約しないと、満席だったみたいです。ハワイ滞在中のイケテるシニアカップル友達になりました。ハワイフリークになりたい気分になったクルーズです。到着当日がオススメです。時差ぼけを解消するにはもってこいのあくていびていです。なんたってべるとら予約を活用して良かった。

I never expected to see Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson in Waikiki, Hawaii (they were impersonators, though). Their singing was so wonderful that I was completely captivated. Among them, the female singer's voice was particularly impressive.

The hula show was powerful, with the female dancers being very graceful and beautiful, while the male dancers were strong and cool. The fire dance added an extra level of excitement.

I was surprised by the whole roasted pig at the buffet dinner before the show, but it was delicious. The other dishes were surprisingly tasty as well, and I was very satisfied.

まさかハワイのワイキキでエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンが見れるとは思いませんでした。（ソックリさんでしたが）
とても歌声がステキで聴き入ってしまうくらいでした。中でも、女性シンガーの歌声はとても良かったです。
フラショーも迫力があって、女性ダンサーはとてもしなやかで美しく、男性ダンサーは力強くかっこよかったです。ファイヤーダンスは危険度が更に盛り上げけていました。
ショー前のビッフェ式のディナーでは豚の丸焼きには驚きましたが、美味しく頂けました。他の料理も意外に美味しく、大変満足しました。

This was so much fun, the crew were so great and helpful. They went out of their way to make the night special. The food was the best, nice and fresh outstanding
Thank you

We went to this Legends show November 2013 and loved it so much we had to see it again. After a very bountiful dinner buffet with plenty of variety and a traditional Hawaiian luau, you get to watch a fantastic live concert that goes through a journey of Music emphasis on Hawaiian artists. Wonderful tribute artists perform and accompanied by terrific dancing. Then as a bonus a fantastic fire dancer is added to it all. Just great entertainment all round and you could tell the crowd just loved it. Highly recommend this show.

It was a good decision to book with transportation included since it's located away from Waikiki. The guide for the shuttle was a student part-timer, but he was quite an interesting person. I thought the show would mainly focus on dancing, but it had a storyline, and of course, there was dancing as well, making it a powerful and impressive performance. I was surprised to find snow crab in the meal before the show. It was obviously frozen and not very tasty. However, not just here, but all the waiters and waitresses in Hawaii were friendly and nice people.

ワイキキからは離れているところなので、送迎込みで予約しましたが、正解でした。送迎のガイドさんは学生アルバイトですが、なかなか面白い人でした。ショーは踊りが中心のものかと思っていたのですが、ストーリー仕立てで、当然踊りもありで、迫力のある見ごたえのあるものでした。開演前の食事にズワイガニがあったのにはびっくりしました。当然冷凍ものでおいしくありませんでした。ただ、ここに限らずハワイのウェイター、ウェイトレスは皆フレンドリーでいい人ばかりでした。

I was torn between a large ship, but since I had a toddler with me, I decided to join this optional tour where toddlers are free at the buffet. A welcome drink is included, and you can enjoy unlimited food while sipping on that. With live music, hula dancers performed, and everyone on board danced and had a great time. The waitresses were also lively and good at dancing. There were many non-Japanese guests, and we celebrated together with people from various countries, including those celebrating anniversaries and birthdays. The sunset started to become visible around 6:30, and I was able to capture beautiful photos.

大きい船と迷ったのですが幼児もいたのでバイキングで幼児は無料となっているこのオプショナルツアーに参加しました。ウエルカムドリンクは1杯付いていて、そちらを飲みながら好きな食事をとり放題。生演奏の中フラを踊ってくれて乗船されたみんなで踊り盛り上がりました。ウエイトレスものりのりで、踊りが上手でした。日本人以外が多く色々な国の方と一緒に盛り上がり結婚記念日と誕生日の方もいてみんなでお祝い。夕陽が6時半位から見え始め綺麗に写真におさめることができました。

I signed up with the image of a dinner show in mind. However, as stated, we had a buffet at the adjacent restaurant and then watched the show. I went in thinking I would be eating while watching, but that was a misunderstanding, haha.

As for the food, it was delicious enough that I won't go into detail.

Regarding the show, everything was in English! I participated without any preparation on what the performances were or their themes. I tried to understand through a mix of broken English and body language, and somehow managed to watch it with a mistaken understanding.

It was a cultural show, and it took a long time for me to grasp its depth. I decided that next time I would prepare in advance, as I believe I could enjoy it even more deeply. Overall, it turned into a fun and memorable night!

ディナーショーとのイメージで申し込みました。ですが、標記の通りビュッフェを隣接レストランでいただいて、ショーを観覧する。食べながら見るイメージで向かいましたがそもそも間違いでしたｗ
食事は、十分すぎるほどおいしく頂けたので割愛します。
ショーですが、全て英語！そして、何の演目がどういうテーマで進行するのか、予習無しで参加してしまいました。ほとんど片言英語とボディーランゲージの組み合わせで理解しようと見入れば、なんとなく、間違えた認識なままそうなんだ～と見ることが出来ました。
カルチャーのショーなんですよね。深いな～と理解するまで、長い時間ショーは続きましたが、今度は予習をしてから行くと、もっともっと深く楽しめるであろうと再訪を心に決め、楽しく思い出の残る夜になれました！

I went by rental car.
If you take the shuttle bus, it costs an additional $30 per person.
The meals are served buffet style.
I was satisfied because I could eat a lot of vegetables, which are often lacking.
The meat dishes were all a bit bland, but I enjoyed them nonetheless.

Along the way, a staff member from Japan kindly spoke to us.
There was also a balloon art gift for small children during the meal.

The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding the language.
I was overwhelmed by the group dance performances.

Since it was my first time participating, I had various concerns, but I was very satisfied.

As a side note, I signed up for a plan with immediate reservation confirmation, but I felt a bit uneasy when the confirmation notice came four days later.

レンタカーで行きました。
シャトルバスだと１人30ドル別途掛かります。
食事はブッフェスタイルです。
不足しがちな野菜をたくさん食べられたので満足です。
お肉料理はどれも大味でしたが、それなりに美味しくいただきました。

途中で日本のスタッフが優しく声を掛けてくれました。
小さい子どもにはバルーンアートのプレゼントも食事中にありました。

肝心のショーは、言葉が分からなくても十分に楽しめます。
大人数で踊るダンスには圧倒されました。

初めての参加だったので色々不安はありましたがとても満足です。

補足として、即予約確定のプランに申し込みしましたが予約確定の連絡が４日後に来たことが少し不安に感じました。

We participated as a family! I was worried about seasickness, but I took some medicine and was totally fine, enjoying the cruise for about an hour and a half! We saw whales several times, which was exciting. I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!

家族で参加しました！
船酔いとかも心配だったけど薬飲んでたら全然平気で約1時間半ほどのクルーズを楽しめました！
クジラも何回も出てきてくれて盛り上がりました。
又ハワイに行くときはぜひ参加します！

This time the waves were high, so it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't go out far! But my friend, who was there for the first time, was happy and enjoyed it.

今回は波が高く あまり沖に出てもらえなかったのが少し残念‼︎でも初めての 友達は喜んで楽しんでました。

The show was amazing. Everyone in the venue was applauding enthusiastically. Some foreign guests gave a standing ovation. The food was mediocre, but the shrimp was delicious.

ショーは最高でした。会場全ての人が拍手喝采。一部の外国人はスタンディングオベーションでした。
食事はイマイチですが、シュリンプは美味しいですよ。

I had so much fun last year, so I'm participating again this year!
You can enjoy it as many times as you want!
This time, there were mostly Westerners, and the spontaneous singing of birthday songs and the lively atmosphere were so much fun that I ended up getting a bit tipsy.
It seems like this will become a tradition in Hawaii!

昨年とても楽しかったので、今年も参加！
何回でも楽しめます！
今回はほとんどが欧米人ばかりでいきなりのバースデーソング熱唱やノリが楽しくてついつい酔ってしまいました。
ハワイの恒例になりそうです！

It was cloudy in the morning, but we were able to see the sunset beautifully! On top of that, we got to see sea turtles and a mother whale with her calf. Thanks to the enthusiastic crew, we had a great time! However, the waves were high, and my pants got soaked while getting on and off the boat...

朝から曇り模様でしたが、サンセットはしっかり見れました！
おまけに、ウミガメ、クジラの親子まで見ることができ、盛り上げ上手のクルーさんのおかげで、とても楽しかったです！
ただ、波が高く、船への乗り降りでズボンがベチャベチャに…

Following last year's Sandbar, I had an activity on Oahu that was even more enjoyable than I expected.

Above all, being able to see Waikiki town, the beach, and Diamond Head from the ocean was a rare experience, and it was thrilling to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close.

The taste of the Mai Tai I drank while being blown by the sea breeze on the boat was exceptional, and the lively movements of the cheerful crew made for a pleasant time.

I would appreciate it if the check-in location were a bit easier to find.

昨年のサンドバーに続く、オアフ島でのアクティビティーで、思っていた以上に楽しかったです。
何よりも海からワイキキの町、ビーチ、そしてダイアモンドヘッドが見られたのは中々できない体験であり、船と並行してイルカが泳いでいるのを間近に見れたのも大興奮でした。
船の上で潮風に吹かれながら飲んだマイタイの味も格別で、陽気なクルー達のキビキビした動きも心地よく、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
願わくば、もう少し受付場所がわかり易いと有難いです。

It felt like I was watching an old Hawaiian tale, and I understood it very well. I thought it was just Hawaiian dance, but it actually had a proper story, and I really enjoyed it! (^o^)／

ハワイの昔ばなしを見ているかのようにとてもよくわかりました
ハワイアンダンスだけかと思ってたんですがちゃんとストーリーになっていてとても楽しめました(^o^)／

This was my 4th time here but 1st time for my girlfriend. Just as entertaining the 4th time as it was the first. Very educational and beautiful at the same time. My package included the Luau and that was good too. Not like the other ones I've been to but still was good. The evening show was excellent and very well performed. I highly recommend going to the Polynesian Culture Center to everyone who comes to Hawaii.

My family and I had so much fun on this cruise! I wish I could remember the staff's name because they were so nice! It was the Captain's birthday and the bartender was a tall blond. My daughter was on crutches at the time of the cruize and the bartender put her on her back and carried her all the way from the boat to the sidewalk where she could walk with crutches again. Truly a great experience. And the fireworks were amazing!

The sunset sailing was amazing! I was torn between a dinner cruise and the yacht sunset cruise, but the sunset cruise was the best! We felt the wind, enjoyed the sea, took photos with fellow guests, and it was a perfect conclusion to our trip with four families from work (nine people in total). The crew was friendly and even took photos with us. I definitely want to do it again!

サンセットセーリング、最高でした!
ディナー付きのクルージングと迷いましたが、ヨットのサンセットクルージング、最高でした!風を感じ、海を感じ、お客さん同士で写真を撮り、職場の仲間4家族（9名）での旅でしたが最高の締めくくりとなりました。
クルーの方もフレンドリーで一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
また乗りたいですね!

The tour guaranteed front-row seats, so I was able to see everything up close and was extremely excited! Since the entire show was in English, those nearby who didn't understand English seemed to have a bit of trouble, but I think the content was relatively easy to understand. The dancers were all absolutely wonderful; the graceful hula of the wahine was beautiful, the men's dance was really cool, and the fire dance was truly exhilarating! There were also many comedic elements, so I believe it's a show that anyone can enjoy, even if they're not familiar with hula or Hawaiian culture. Time flew by, and I wanted to see more and more! I will definitely use this again!

中央前方席確約ツアーだったため、とても間近で観られて大興奮でした‼︎
全編英語でのMCだったので、お近くにいた英語が分からない方は少しご苦労されていたようですが、比較的理解しやすい内容だったと思います。
ダンサーの方々がみなさんとてもとても素敵で、ワヒネの優雅なフラはもちろん、カネのダンスはとってもカッコよく、ファイヤーダンスは本当に盛り上がりました‼︎
コメディな要素も多くあり、フラやハワイの文化に親しみがなくても、誰でも楽しめるショーだと思います。
時間があっという間に過ぎてしまい、もっともっと観たかったです‼︎
また利用します！

There were fewer Japanese people, but that was nice in its own way. I really enjoyed the sunset sailing, feeling closer to the sea than on a dinner cruise. I was able to see dolphins up close, and I will definitely book again.

日本人は少なかったですがそれもまたよかった。ディナークルーズよりも海を近くに感じて本当にサンセットセーリングを楽しみました。
イルカもまじかで観れたしまた必ず予約します

It took quite a while to get there by bus, but the authentic dance was powerful and satisfying. It was a dance with a musical-style story, and it never got boring.

行くまではバスに乗って結構時間がかかりましたけど本場の
ダンスは迫力があり満足でした、ミュージカル調のストーリのある
ダンスですが空きませんでした。

This is one of the cruises where you can truly feel the light and wind of Hawaii. It's a catamaran, so it's extremely stable. Enjoy soaking in the light and wind of Hawaii with your whole body. The sunset is also incredibly beautiful. Don't forget your camera!

最もハワイの光と風を感じられるクルーズの一つです。
双胴船なので安定も抜群です。全身でハワイの光と風を浴びてください。
サンセットも最高に美しいです。カメラをお忘れなく！

Loved the show. Very talented performers will definitely recommend to friends

My daughter, who is now a middle school student, went on her first overseas trip to Hawaii. I wanted her to see a hula show and try kalua pork, so I signed up for this tour. It was also great that the venue was just a 2-3 minute walk from our hotel.

The buffet venue and the show venue were separate, so we had to move between them. The buffet was located in the garden space next to the 4th-floor corridor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, but it felt cramped with tables packed into a small area. There was a small hula show, which might have felt more intimate, but I think it would have been better to have a larger space or reduce the number of guests to about two-thirds for more comfort. The buffet style allowed us to fill our plates with kalua pork, roast beef, salads, and other favorites, which seemed to be enjoyable. The dessert sorbet was surprisingly sour, and both my daughter and I were taken aback by it.

As for the show venue, we were seated in the second-floor section, but it wasn't a very large venue, so we were really close to the stage and could see everything well.

中学生になる娘は初めての海外旅行、初めてのハワイでした。
フラショーを見せてあげたく、カルアポークも見て食べてみて欲しくて、このツアーに申込みました。
会場が宿泊していたホテルから徒歩２～３分だったのもよかったです。

ビュッフェの会場とショーの会場は別で移動が必要でした。
ビュッフェの会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階通路横のガーデンスペースですが、狭いスパースに詰め込んだ感満載のテーブル席でした。ちょっとしたフラショーがあり、身近に感じられてよいのかもしれませんが、もう少し広いところでするか、客数を三分の二くらいにしてゆとりがあった方がよいと思います。
ビュッフェスタイルでカルアポークやローストビーフ、サラダなど、好きなものを好きなだけお皿に入れるのも楽しかったようです。デザートのシャーベットは見た目よりすっぱくて娘と二人でびっくりしました。

ショーの会場は私たちは２階席でしたが、そんなに広い会場ではなかったのでステージまですごく近くてよく見ることができました。

It was good but wasn’t much to do other then go from Hut to Hut and a lot of them were full and did not get to see.

I decided to participate in the sailing instead of the dinner cruise because it had a higher review score and also goes out to Diamond Head. Choosing this sailing was definitely the right decision.

There was only one other Japanese group besides me. The rest were foreigners, and everyone was really lively. People of various ages were on board.

It was slightly cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to fully enjoy the process of the evening setting in and the night view becoming more prominent. It was romantic, and I savored the beautiful scenery.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and after toasting with Mai Tai, there were various options like pineapple beer (which wasn't sold at ABC Store), sparkling wine, and wine.

Since the weather wasn't great, there were times when the boat rocked like an attraction. It was fun, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to go on a nice day.

I enjoyed the sea breeze, the twilight, and the night view, and had a wonderful time. I would love to go again! I absolutely recommend it!

ディナー・クルージングよりも、セーリングの方がレビュー点数が高いのと、さらにダイアモンドヘッド沖まで行くのでこれに参加する事に決めました。このセーリングにして、大正解でした。

日本人は私以外は一組だけ。外国人ばかりでノリノリです。幅広い年齢の方が乗船していました。

薄曇りだったので、日没は見る事ができませんでしたが、夕暮れて行き、夜景が際立っていく過程を充分に見る事ができました。ロマンチックで、美しい景色を堪能しました。

ドリンクは、飲み放題でマイタイで乾杯の後、パイナップル・ビール（ABCストアでも売っていませんでした）、スパークリングワイン、ワイン等、様々ありました。

天気が良くなかったので、アトラクションの様に船が揺れた時もありました。面白かったけれど、船酔いし易い方は、天気の良い日に乗船なさった方が良いかも知れません。

海風と夕暮れと夜景を味わい、すてきな時間を過ごせました。また乗船したいです！　絶対にお勧めです！
