All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I watched from the cheap seats at the back, but I could see everything and the atmosphere was perfect; it was amazing. It felt like watching Olympic gymnastics with perfect technique and an engaging structure, making the hour and a half fly by. On the first day of my trip, I was a bit drowsy before the 5:30 PM start, but once it began, I was wide awake and enjoyed it until the very end. I definitely want to see it again next time.

奥の安い席で見ましたが、全体が見渡せ臨場感も申し分無く、最高でした。
オリンピックの体操競技を見ているような完璧な技術と飽きさせない構成であっと言う間の1時間半でした。旅行初日の17時30分開演で開演前はウトウトしてましたが始まると目ギンギンで最後までアット言うまで完走しました。次回も是非観たいです。

A trio of close friends for 40 years. We always dreamed of going to Hawaii together, and this year, we celebrated our 60th birthdays and made that dream come true! There were moments of emotion, laughter, and of course, drinks, drinks, drinks (laughs). On the sunset cruise, we enjoyed unlimited beer and Mai Tais, the crew really got us excited, and seeing Diamond Head from the sea against the backdrop of the setting sun was breathtaking! Next time, we decided to bring our husbands along and come as a group of six!

４０年来の仲良し３人組。
いつかは３人で行ってみたいと思っていたハワイ、今年還暦を迎え夢を実現させました！
感動あり、笑いあり、そして何と言っても酒、酒、酒（笑）
サンセットクルーズでもビール、マイタイ飲み放題、クルーの皆さんの盛り上げ、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、沈む夕日に感動！
今度は、お互いの旦那様も一緒に６人で来ようと決めました！！

Since I hadn't booked many activities for this trip, I asked a local acquaintance for recommendations, and they mentioned that Cirque du Soleil, which just opened last year, is very popular. Although I hesitated a bit due to the cost, I decided to seize the opportunity and booked the best seats. From start to finish, this was the first show that truly engaged and entertained the audience. Most importantly, seeing the children leaning forward, their eyes sparkling, and sometimes bursting into laughter made me feel that the price was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!

今回の旅行ではあまりアクティビティを予約していなかったので現地で知り合いの方にお勧めを伺ったところ、シルクドソレイユは去年できたばかりでとても人気とのことで少し金銭面で迷いはありましたが、せっかくの機会なので1番いい席を予約しました。初めから最後まで、こんなにも観客を巻き込んで楽しませてくれるショーは初めてです。何より子供達が身体を乗り出し、目をキラキラさせ時には声をあげて爆笑している姿を見て、この金額は惜しくないと本心からそう思えました。お勧めです！

I was in the fourth row, and it was very powerful and overwhelming. It was fun to energize the venue, and I thought I would like to see it in various countries.

前から4列目でとても迫力もあり、圧倒されました。会場を盛り上げる楽しさもあり、色んな国でも観たいと思いました。

We did several activities in Hawaii but if I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be this one. You get to do a little bit of everything, it’s like the whole Hawaii experience. This is great family tour. I loved it so much! Plus the buffet dinner is included which was amazing! The night show for me was the best part. I can’t describe how much I loved it!

I've seen various silk shows, and the first thing I thought upon entering was that it was a small venue. I initially thought it might be a bit cramped, but once the show started, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied. The production made the most of the space, and it was truly wonderful. I'm really glad I attended.

シルクのショーは色々見てますが、入場して最初に思ったのは、狭い会場だなと。こじんまりしたものなのかなと思ってしまいましたが、ショーが始まったら大迫力で大満足でした。
スペースを最大限に活かした演出は、本当に素晴らしかった。本当に観て良かったです。

It was an entertaining show that kept my eyes glued from start to finish. I think you can enjoy it fully regardless of where you sit, even if you don't understand the language.

最初から最後まで目が離せないエンターテイメントショーでした。
言葉がわからなくても席がどこでも充分に楽しめると思います。

The restaurant is on the second floor, and the seating has a terrace-like openness, plus all the dishes were delicious. The staff greeted us with smiles, which felt great. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, making the payment process smooth.

お店は2階で、席はテラスの様な開放感があり、さらにお料理はどれも美味しくて良かったです。
スタッフは、笑顔で接してくれ気持ち良かったです。日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、お会計もスムーズに済ませる事ができました。

It was my first time at Cirque du Soleil, and I'm glad I went. The prices vary significantly depending on the seats, but I still enjoyed it from the seats in the back.

初めてのシルクドゥソレイユでしたが、行って良かったです。
席によって値段がかなり違いますが、後ろの方の席でも楽しめました。

I went to see it with my 6-year-old son, and he was engaged the whole time, allowing us to enjoy it together.

Each performance was wonderful, and I would love to go see it again if I have the chance.

6歳の息子と観に行きましたが、子供も飽きる事なく観てくれ一緒に楽しめました。

各演目それぞれが素晴らしく、また機会があれば観に行きたいです。

They put a lei around my neck and took photos for me! After a delicious meal, the hula show started, and I really felt like I was in Hawaii. I was taught a simple hula dance and was able to participate as well. It became a wonderful memory.

レイを首にかけてくれて、写真も撮ってくれました！！
美味しい食事の後、フラショーが始まり「ああ、ハワイに来たんだな～」と実感しました。
簡単なフラダンスを教えていただき参加もさせて頂きました。
とても良い思い出になりました。

Surprised my wife with a Lei greeting and it was spectacular

The magician has a wonderful personality and entertains everyone. It's fun to see the magic up close. It would be even better if there were non-alcoholic cocktails available.

マジシャンがすごくよい人柄で、みんなを楽しませていただきます。間近でマジックをみると楽しいですね。ノンアルコールカクテルがあるともっと最高です。

We watched from the center seat in the 9th row. Luckily, there were no other audience members on either side of us, so it felt like a couple's seat. Various performances unfold along the history of Hawaii. The stage isn't very large, but the performers also come out into the aisles, creating a dynamic experience that utilizes the entire theater. There were hilarious moments that involved audience participation, such as throwing large balloons into the crowd, and before we knew it, time flew by. Since it has just started, I recommend it to both first-timers and those who are familiar with Hawaii.

9列目のど真ん中のシートで鑑賞　ラッキーなことに我々夫婦の両側とも観客が居なかったのでカップルシートの様でした
ハワイの歴史に沿って様々なパフォーマンスが繰り広げられます　ステージは大きくありませんがパフォーマンスはステージ上と通路にも演者が出てきて劇場全体を使いながらダイナミックな演出でした　また観客を巻き込んだ爆笑のステージや大きな風船を客席に投げ込むなど観客とのコミュニケーションもしっかりあり　あっという間に時間が経ってしまいました
まだ始まって間が無いとのことですのでハワイが初めての方もそうで無い方にもお勧めします

They were in contact with us the entire time. Their communication was spectacular! They were there before we got there, waiting with the sign and made it extra special to start off our anniversary trip!

It was a concentrated tour that allowed us to enjoy pineapples and various sightseeing spots in Hawaii. I signed up for the tour because I wanted to visit the Dole fields and factory, and I felt it was at a satisfying level, providing even more experiences than I expected.

From our hotel in Waikiki, we took a car, and the guide, who was alone, had an incredible amount of knowledge about the various famous spots in Hawaii along the way, including the Dole fields and factory.

It seems that Dole is a different company from the Dole Plantation, which is a tourist attraction across the street. I mistakenly thought that if we went to the Dole Plantation ourselves, we could have the same factory tour. Since we wouldn't have been able to visit the fields and factory without signing up for this tour, I believe it was a valuable experience. (After the factory tour, we had a little time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we could also buy souvenirs.)

At the fields, we were able to see the harvesting and had fresh pineapples cut right there. After the factory tour, we enjoyed cold cut pineapples and straight pineapple juice produced at the factory, which made me very happy. (They also offer coffee and chocolate tastings, and there are some small souvenirs for sale.)

After that, we went to Haleiwa for some free time, and later at the macadamia nut souvenir shop, we could taste many samples and buy souvenirs. Additionally, we visited two coffee shops where we had restroom breaks and could taste a lot of coffee.

On the way back, we took photos of King Kamehameha and, even from the car, we could see Hawaii's Izumo Taisha, Chinatown, and wall art while listening to the guide share a lot about Hawaii's history, which was educational.

I think it was a very fulfilling day.

パイナップルづくしと各所のハワイ観光ができて濃縮したツアーでした。
ドールの畑や工場見学がしたくて、申し込んだツアーでしたが、満足できるレベルでしたし、それ以上の体験ができたと感じています。

ワイキキのホテルから車に乗って、道中の所々のハワイの名所からドールの畑や工場の案内まで、お一人でされていたガイドさんの知識量は凄かったです。

ドールは畑・工場と、向かい側にある観光名所のドールプランテーションとは違う会社のようで、自分たちでドールプランテーションに行けば同じ工場見学ができると勘違いしていました。今回のツアーに申し込まないと畑と工場の見学はできないので、貴重な体験だったと思います。（工場見学後にドールプランテーションにも少し行く時間があったので、そちらのお土産も買うことができました。）

畑では収穫の見学時に畑のパイナップルをその場でカットしていただけて、工場見学後も冷たいカットパインと工場で製造しているストレートのパイナップルジュースをいただけてパイナップルづくしで幸せでした。（コーヒーやチョコレートの試食、ちょっとしたお土産も売っています。）

その後、ハレイワに行って自由行動と、その後、マカダミアナッツのお土産屋さんではたくさん試食ができてお土産も買えました。
その他にも二か所コーヒーショップに行けてトイレ休憩もコーヒーの試飲がたくさんできました。

帰りはカメハメハ大王の写真を撮ったり、車中からでも、ハワイの出雲大社、チャイナタウン、ウォールアートを見ながら帰れましたし、ガイドさんのハワイの歴史をたくさん聞きながら勉強にもなりました。

とても、充実した1日になったと思います。

I enjoyed the powerful performance from the middle of the fourth row. I was worried about what kind of seat I would have, but they quickly prepared a good seat for me, and I’m very glad I asked.

前から４列目の真ん中で、迫力の舞台を楽しみました。
どんな席で見るのか不安でしたが、すぐに良い席を用意して下さって、お願いしてとても良かったと思います。

It was smaller than other Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen, but it was great and full of Hawaiian charm. The song selection, especially from Hawaii Five-0, was excellent.

今まで見たシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユよりはこじんまりしていたが、ハワイらしさ満開で良かった。特にハワイ5Oの選曲は良かった。

It was my second cruise in 10 years. This time, the waves were a bit high, and depending on where you sat, you could get wet, but it felt like an attraction and was fun. I was also able to see a beautiful sunset. I would like to use this service again when I visit Oahu.

10年ぶり2回目のクルーズでした。
今回は少し波が高くて座る場所によっては濡れましたがアトラクションのようで楽しかったです。
美しいサンセットも見ることが出来ました。また、オアフを訪れたら利用したいです。

I have never seen anything like it before, and it was impressive! The performance was so intense that I wondered how much training they must have gone through. I want to see it again next time! ^_^

今まで見た事なく、迫力がありました！どれだけ鍛えてるかと思うほどの演技です。また次回も見たいです^_^

I always make it a point to see Cirque du Soleil when they perform in Tokyo, so I definitely wanted to see them in Hawaii as well. They used costumes and props from Hawaii, which added to the atmosphere.

There was a segment where a few audience members were picked to mimic dances and have fun, and this time was also very enjoyable.

The theater was small, but it was almost full. We had seats right in the middle, in the front row. There were five of us, and everyone had a great time.

I might be imagining it, but was the performance a bit shorter this time? I felt like it ended in about an hour and a half without any breaks.

I was satisfied.

シルクドソレイユが東京公演をする時は必ずみに行っていますので、ハワイでも是非とも思い見に行きました。ハワイの衣装や道具を使っていて雰囲気も楽しめました。

いつもの観客を数名ピックアップして踊りなどを真似させて楽しむ幕間？がありますが、今回もとても楽しかったです。

劇場は狭かったですが、ほぼ満員でした。真ん前の真ん中辺の席でした。5名で参加しましたが、皆楽しめました。

気のせいかも知れませんが公演時間はちょっと短いんですかね？途中休憩もなく、1時間半くらいで終わった様に思いました。

満足です。

Starting with Hawaiian music and dance from the 1920s, and moving through the historic concerts in Hawaii featuring Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s, you can enjoy a performance filled with song and dance. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in promotional photos, as they are likely double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.

1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

Dinner was delicious with a good variety of Hawaiian favorite dishes. We had rear seating, but still had a clear view of the stage and all the action!

The performers at Mauka were truly amazing—especially the thrilling fire knife finale!!

The buffet had a decent selection with carved roast beef, chicken, and sides. It’s not a luxury gourmet meal, but for the price it was solid and filling.

The fireworks we paid for were only 4 minutes long. The food was alright. The staff was friendly.

Great experience! Our bartender was Cole and he was great! We saw a proposal and had some awesome drinks

"AUANA" can only be described as wonderful! I couldn't take my eyes off the performances, with no time to catch my breath between each stage. I stay in Honolulu for about ten days once a year, and I definitely want to participate again next year.

「AUANA」素晴らしの一言に尽きます‼
各ステージごとのperformanceに息つく暇も無く目が離せませんでした。
年に一度10日間位Honoluluに滞在しますが、来年も是非参加してみたいと思います。
