All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

We participated as three generations of our family. The sunset was very beautiful, and the Mai Tai was delicious! My clothes got a little wet from the splashes, but that's also a nice memory.

親子三世代で参加しました。夕日がとても綺麗で、マイタイも美味しかった〜。水しぶきで服も少し濡れたけど、それもいい思い出。

I had the most moving moments during this trip. It's not often in life that you experience something that makes you want to cry just from seeing the scenery. I would definitely recommend it to others, and if I have the chance to come back to Waikiki, I will make sure to include it in my schedule.

今回の旅行の中で、最も感動する時間を得る事が出来ました。景色を見て泣きそうになることなど、人生の内でそうそう体験出来るものではありません。他の人にも進めると同時にまたワイキキに来ることがあれば、必ずスケジュールに入れたいと思います。

The hospitality from everyone at the luau was outstanding! I was surprised by the bright and cheerful service. It was an incredibly fun time. Also, it was my first experience with a whole roasted pig. And once I tried it, it was exquisite; I've never had such delicious pork before. The show exceeded all my expectations and was incredibly lively. It's also convenient to be able to see it in Waikiki.

フラの皆さん、ホスピタリティ高過ぎ！　明るく楽しいおもてなしでビックリです。最高に楽しい時間でした。それから、ブタの丸焼きも初めての経験。しかも食べてみれば絶品で、こんなに美味しいブタを食べたのは初めてです。ショーも期待をはるかに上回る盛り上がりでした。ワイキキ内で見られるのも便利ですね。

I made a reservation for pickup at the Ala Moana Hotel, but when the pickup time came, no one showed up. After 30 minutes, I called the tour company but couldn't get through, and 45 minutes later, I had to take a taxi to the location and barely made it onto the ship just before departure.

I recommend caution for those requesting a pickup. It was the worst experience. I would like a refund for the taxi fare.

Later, I received a contact from VELTRA, and they coordinated with the tour company to refund the taxi fare. Since I received the refund, I will revise my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.

アラモアナホテルお迎えで予約しましたが、ピックアップ時間になっても来ないため、30分後にツアー会社に電話かけても繋がらず、45分後に急遽タクシーで現地へ向かい出航寸前の船に飛び乗りました。
お迎え頼む方は注意された方が良いです。
最悪でした。
タクシー代返金して欲しいです。

後日 VELTRAから連絡があり、ツアー会社と調整いただきタクシー代の返金がありまた。
返金いただいたので評価を見直し⭐️１から３に変更します。

I participate every time I travel to Hawaii. This time, I joined on the first day of my arrival. The waves were a bit high, and it swayed like an attraction, but everyone was fine! Haha. We drank and drank, and our spirits were at their peak. Cheers to the healing journey that starts today!

毎回、ハワイ渡航中に参加します。今回は、到着日初日に参加。ちょっと波が高くて、アトラクション的に揺れたけれど、みんなへっちゃら！笑。飲んで飲んで、気分は最高潮。今日から始まる癒しの旅に乾杯！

If you are prone to seasickness, you might be a little worried. The atmosphere was very nice, and I felt it was worth participating. The drinks were sufficient. The meeting place was hard to find.

船酔いがある方は 少し心配かなとも おもいます。雰囲気はとても良く 参加して良かったと思いました。ドリンクだけで 充分でした。集合場所が わかりにくい。

Definetly do the 5 star....it was my wife's 40th Birthday and we had a great meal, beautiful views! Awesome sunset! GREAT music....the staff was wonderful and the setting was very romantic. I would do it again!!!

A university student near the Polynesian Cultural Center served as our guide on the bus, and they were very articulate, sharing various stories about Hawaii, making the approximately one-and-a-half-hour drive feel like no time at all.

The show itself was conducted in English, so the story was a bit hard to follow, but there were many dancers, and it was quite impressive.

ポリネシア文化センター近くの大学生の方がガイドとしてバスに添乗していたのですが、その方がとてもお話し上手で、色々なハワイの話をしてくれ、到着するまでの約1時間半のドライブがあっという間でした。

ショー自体は英語で進行するのでストーリーがいまいちわかづらかったですが、大勢のダンサーさんが出ていて迫力でした。

As mentioned in other people's experiences, the claim that this is "the only dinner cruise in Hawaii that can take you from Waikiki to offshore Diamond Head" was false. It followed the same route as Star of Honolulu and turned back well before reaching Diamond Head. It may have been due to high waves on the day, but there was no explanation provided. I had explained to other first-time visitors to Hawaii that we would go to offshore Diamond Head... The food was delicious. It was also nice that it wasn't as large as Star of Honolulu and had fewer people.

他の方の体験談にも記載がありましたが、「ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行くことができるハワイ唯一のディナークルーズ」というのは嘘でした。スターオフホノルルと同じコースを辿り、ダイアモンドヘッドのはるか手前で折り返し。当日は波が高かったのでそうなったかもしれませんが、その説明は無し。他の初ハワイの人たちに、「ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖まで行く」と説明したのに・・・。食事は美味しかったです。スターオフホノルルほど大きくなく人が少ないということも良かったです。

My wife and I booked this during our honeymoon and definitely enjoyed ourselves! The food was delicious, the view was spectacular and gave us plenty of picture opportunities at sunset on the back of the ship! We definitely enjoyed the on board entertainment with the hula dancers, the gentleman on the ukelele, solo vocalist, pianist and they even had a saxophone player who dabbled in the art of the jazz flute! What a great night out!!

This time, it was my third participation in two years. I always enjoy the wonderful show that has been enhanced each time. It's not just a simple impersonation show; I am moved by the high quality every time. I have seen similar shows in Las Vegas, but this one does not fall short at all. However, I felt that there were fewer performers this time and that the showtime was a bit shorter.

今回、２年ぶり３回目の参加でした。毎回ショーアップされた素晴らしいショーを楽しんでおります．単なる物まねショーにとどまらずそのクオリティーの高さには毎回感動しております。
同様のショーをラスベガスでも見たことがありますが決して見劣りしておりません、但し今回は
出演者も少なくショータイムも少し短かった様な気が致しました。

It was very good. Thanks to a limited-time campaign, I was able to get a great seat at a low price and see a wonderful show. The food may vary for each person, but I enjoyed it deliciously. The atmosphere of the restaurant where I dined was also lovely. I wished I could have stayed longer.

とても良かったです。期間限定のキャンぺーンで、お値段も安く良いお席をとれて、すばらしい
ショーを見る事ができました。
食事は人其々でしょうが、私は美味しく頂けました。食事するレストランの雰囲気も素敵でした。もっと長い時間居たかったです。

The staff's talk on the bus that came to pick us up was great. They explained the meanings of Hawaiian words, history, and the lives of the local people in an easy-to-understand way. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, the dynamic dances and performances were just as impressive as I expected.

迎えに来て下さったバスの中でのスタッフの方のお話が良かったです。
Hawaiiのお言葉の意味、歴史、現地の方々の生活、などわかりやすく説明して頂きました。
ポリネシアン文化センターでは
思ってた通りのダイナミックの踊り、演出だったので圧巻です。

This was so much fun and our hosts amazing, Ryan and Felipe. Thank you so much for a great start to our honey moon.

I applied for the VIP dinner and cocktail show after seeing it featured in "In Love with Hawaii 2." I attended with my 75-year-old mother. The food was decent, but it seemed like there was too much for my mother. She also complained about the quick removal of the dishes (it seemed like the woman next to us was saying something similar). However, the show itself was absolutely wonderful, and my mother was very happy. The impersonation show was great, and the fire dance was very impressive. It was also a nice touch to be able to take a photo together on the way out. I would like to visit again if the opportunity arises, but next time, I think it would be better to have dinner elsewhere before attending.

ハワイに恋して2で紹介されて気になっていた所、VIPディナー&カクテルショーのモニター募集があったので申込みしました。75歳の母との参加です。食事の味はまあまあでしたが、母には量が多かったようでした。また、食事を下げるのが早いと不満をこぼしていました。(隣の女性もそのような話をしていたようです)ただ、ショーの内容はとても素晴らしく、母もとても喜んでいました。そっくりさんのショーもそうですが、ファイヤーダンスとても迫力がありました。帰りに一緒に写真を撮ってもらえるのも嬉しいサービスです。機会があればまた伺いたいと思いますが、その時は食事は他でしてきてからの参加でいいかなと思います。

After entering, you can enjoy cocktails, chips, and fruits in the pre-show area. Once you enter the show venue, the meal will begin, followed by the show. The dancers make surprising entrances from the ceiling. I recognized the shows of Presley and Michael, but unfortunately, I didn't know the songs in Katy's show. The hula show was also more impressive and had more performers than the one on the ship.
The meal is not much different from the dinner on the ship. The content of the show is better here, so if you're not particularly interested in the sunset, I recommend this option.

入場後、前室でカクテルとチップとフルーツがいただけます。ショーの会場に入場後、食事が始まります。その後、ショーが始まります。ダンサーが天井から登場したり、意表を突かれます。プレスリーとマイケルのショーはわかりますが、ケイティーのショーは残念ながら曲がわかりませんでした。フラのショーも船上で行っているものよりも人数が多く迫力のあるものでした。
食事の内容は、船上のディナーと大差はありません。ショーの内容はこちらのほうが上で、サンセットに興味が強くなければこちらのほうをお勧めします。

I was worried that the clouds would obstruct the sunset, but I was able to see the sun setting on the horizon after all. The atmosphere was fantastic, and I felt very relaxed. I would love to ride again.

雲が多く夕陽か見えるか心配でしたが、何とか水平線に沈む夕陽が見えました。
雰囲気は最高で、とても癒されました。
また乗りたいと思います。

Very relaxing. Beautiful sunset, my husband & I enjoyed it very much!

I was anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, especially since the guide couldn't speak Japanese, but I had no problems and enjoyed myself completely! The night view and fireworks were wonderful! Since it can be a bit chilly, it's definitely a good idea to bring a jacket!

初めてのハワイで不安、しかもガイドさんは日本語が話せない…と不安でしたが全く問題無く楽しめました！夜景に花火素晴らしかったです！
肌寒いので必ずアウター持っていくといいです！

Best cruise we have been on. Great staff, very helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable dinner cruise.

Beautiful and fun. The crew was awesome! Such a great way to end the day!!!

On my first trip to Hawaii, I was looking for a spot to watch fireworks since the first day was a Friday, and I found this cruise. I boarded the ship feeling excited about my first time in Hawaii! Shortly after departure, the fireworks visible from the sea were amazing. The fireworks lasted about ten minutes, and then the sailing cruise began with the sails up! It felt wonderful to sway gently in the wind. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and I had a few beers while my friend, who doesn't drink alcohol, enjoyed pineapple juice, which was also very delicious. Perhaps because we departed later than other boats, the sea in Hawaii felt like it was all ours after the fireworks ended. (Other boats seemed to have left early and returned after the fireworks.) The night view was beautiful, and it was a truly moving moment. I would love to board this cruise again the next time I visit Hawaii. Thank you!

初めてのハワイで初日が金曜日ということで花火観賞スポットを探していて見つけたクルーズでした。
初ハワイでウキウキのまま乗船！
出発後まもなく海から見える花火は最高でした。
花火は１０分ほどでしたがその後に帆を立ててヨットクルーズがスタート！
ゆらゆらと風に乗ってとても気持ち良かったです。
ドリンクも飲み放題で私はビールを何本かいただき、お酒の飲めない友人はパイナップルジュースを飲みました。パイナップルジュースもとてもおいしかったです。
出発がほかの船より遅かったからか花火が終わった後は
ハワイの海が貸し切り状態でした。
（ほかの船は早くから出港して花火が終わったら帰港のようでした）
夜景もきれいで何もかもが感動のひとときでした。
次回ハワイを訪れた時はもう一度乗船したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

This was my second time on the Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was great again. Unfortunately, the sunset was hidden by clouds, but the night view of the Waikiki hotel district from the ocean side was very beautiful. The last-minute reservation went smoothly, and there were no issues at all. I think it's a recommended tour.

サンセットディナークルーズは二度目でしたが
今回も良かったです。残念ながら夕日は雲に隠れて見えなかったけど海側から見るワイキキのホテル街の夜景はとても綺麗でした。急遽の予約でしたが送迎もスムーズでなんの問題もありませんでした。オススメのツアーだと思います。

27 years ago, we enjoyed a show at the same place with my 5-year-old daughter. This time, we visited Hawaii for her wedding and went to see the show again, reminiscing about the past. The emotions from back then came flooding back, and we were very satisfied.

27年前、今と同じ場所で公演されていたショーを当時5歳の娘を連れて家族でショーを楽しみました。
今回はその娘の結婚式でハワイを訪れ昔を思い出し再びショーを見に行きました。
昔の感動が再びよみがえり大満足でした。

We took our son to the show for his birthday and truly enjoyed every minute. I would recommend this show over any of the other Luaus we have been too. The staff was very entertaining and actually seemed to enjoy themselves. We will go again if we get a chance to return to Oahu.

Since we had no plans this time, I thought I’d join in to see the fireworks on Friday night. Although we couldn't catch the sunset, we thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks. With all-you-can-drink options and the chance to enjoy the night view, I think it’s a great way to participate casually. Since it was the end of September, there were only us and one other group of Japanese people. The staff were friendly, and it was nice to enjoy a cheerful Hawaiian night.

今回は何も予定なしだったので、金曜の夜の花火でも見ようかなーと参加してみました。時間的にサンセットは見られませんが花火は堪能できました。飲み放題だし、夜景観賞できるし気軽に参加できていいと思います。9月末ということもあって日本人は私たちとプラス1組だけ。スタッフの方たちは感じいいし、ハワイの陽気な夜を楽しめていいかと思います。

First, we were welcomed at the entrance with a hula dance, and we had the opportunity to take photos with the hula girls. In the first room, we took commemorative photos with Elvis. The welcome drinks and snacks, including potato chips and pineapple wrapped in prosciutto, were very delicious.

After that, we were guided to our dining seats, but initially, there was one napkin missing, and the staff took a while to come. When they finally arrived and I ordered a drink, it seemed that the person at the next table received something different. The Kirin Ichiban beer I ordered had a much stronger bitterness than I expected.

The photos taken at the beginning are shown to you during the meal, but since there is no explanation in Japanese, you need to be careful not to casually say yes, as it will result in a $25 purchase.

I also found it concerning that the staff were silent when placing the food on the table. The taste of the appetizer salad and lobster, as well as the main dishes of steak and salmon, was very delicious, and I enjoyed the show featuring performers resembling famous artists! However, the MC's commentary, aside from the songs, was not easily understood by Japanese guests, and only those who understood English seemed to be having a great time. In addition to singing, there were also hula dances and fire dances, which were quite impressive.

It seems that you can take photos without flash. However, video recording is not allowed. I thought that if there were a few improvements in service, I would consider returning.

まず入り口でフラダンスでお出迎えしてくれて、フラガールとの写真撮影ができました。最初の部屋ではエルヴィスとの記念撮影をしてくれました。次の部屋でのウェルカムドリンクとポテトチップスやパイナップルに生ハムが巻いてあるものはとてもおいしかったです。
その後、食事の席に案内されますが、まずナプキンがひとつ足りず、店員さんはなかなか来ない。ようやく来てドリンクを頼むと、隣の席の方は違うものが来ているようでした。自分が頼んだビールのキリン一番は、苦味が強すぎて予想していたものと違う印象がありました。
最初に撮影した写真は後から食事中に見せに来ますが、日本語の説明もないので安易にはいと言ってしまうと25ドルで購入することになってしまうので注意が必要です。
店員さんが食事をテーブルに置く時に無言なのも気になりました。
前菜のサラダとロブスター、メインのステーキとサーモンの味はとても美味しく、有名アーティストに似た人が続々と出てくるショーも楽しめました！ショーの歌以外のＭＣは日本人にはよくわからず、英語がわかる人だけ盛り上がっていました。歌以外にもフラダンスやファイヤーダンスもあり、迫力は凄いです。
写真はフラッシュ無しなら撮ってよいそうです。ビデオはダメだそうです。
もう少しサービス改善があれば、リピートしてもアリだと思いました。

On the first day of our honeymoon in Hawaii, we participated in this show. The food before the show was delicious, including lobster, salmon, steak, and dessert. The mashed potatoes that accompanied the salmon and steak had a wonderful truffle flavor and were particularly tasty! Overall, there was a lot of food, and we couldn't finish it all.

The show itself was packed with content. Although I wasn't very familiar with Elvis Presley's songs due to my generation, I recognized many songs by Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, making it very enjoyable to watch. Since we had VIP seats, we were very close to the stage, and the fire dance was incredibly impressive!

新婚旅行で初ハワイの初日にこのショーに参加しました。ショー前の料理はロブスター、サーモン、ステーキ、デザートどれも美味しくて、特にサーモンとステーキの付け合わせのマッシュポテトがトリュフの風味が効いていて美味しかったです！全体的なボリュームもあり、食べきれないほどでした。
ショーの内容も盛りだくさんで、世代的にエルビスプレスリーの曲はあまり知りませんでしたがマイケルジャクソンやケイティー・ペリーは知っている曲が多く、とても楽しく見ていることが出来ました。VIP席ということで距離もとても近く、ファイヤーダンスの迫力もすごかったです！

I've been going to Hawaii every year, but this was my first time seeing the Rock-a-Hula show. This time, my wife and I decided to enjoy Hawaii at a leisurely pace, so we spontaneously chose to see this show. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the impersonations, but once it started, I was amazed by the intensity, reminiscent of a Las Vegas show. The fusion of Hawaiian and rock music was something I never imagined, but it fit perfectly without any sense of incongruity, which really impressed me. The Michael Jackson impersonation was great, but I never expected to see fire dancing, so it felt like a great deal. If your wallet allows, I definitely recommend choosing the VIP dinner option to enjoy a nice meal before watching from the best seats.

毎年ハワイに行ってますが初めてロック・ア・フラショーをみました。
今回は妻とゆっくりハワイを楽しもうということで急遽このショーを見ました。
正直物マネに期待はしていなかったのですが始まってみるとラスベガスのショーのような
迫力にびっくりしました。ハワイアンとロックの融合とても考えつかないのですが、まったく違和感もなくむしろぴったりマッチしていることに感動しました。マイケルジャクソンの物まねもよかったですが、まさかファイアーダンスまで見れるなんて思ってもいなかったのですごくお得な気がしました。
もし財布に余裕があるなら是非ＶＩＰディナーを選んでゆっくり食事してから最高の席で見てほしいです。

Even with guaranteed front-row seats, guests are seated in order from the front according to a U-shaped arrangement, so it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be sitting in the front row directly facing the stage. However, during the show, the dancers perform facing all directions, so you can still enjoy it thoroughly. I entered about 30 minutes after the doors opened, and although I wasn't in the front area, I was able to sit about three seats from the front in the side area.

Upon entry, they place a flower lei around your neck. The meal is served buffet-style, allowing you to take everything from the main dishes to salads and desserts at once. The staff will come around to ask if you need more drinks. It was a bit disappointing that poi was not on the menu. The entire show is in English. There was a brief moment when it rained, which made me anxious, but it cleared up afterward, so I was lucky. Since it's on the rooftop, it's wise to be prepared for weather changes. I think it's a show worth seeing at least once.

前方席確約であっても、コの字型の配列に従って前から順番にお客さんを入れていくので、正面の前方席に座れるというわけではありません。しかし、ショー中はダンサーたちも全方位に向かって踊ってくれるので、十分楽しめます。開場時間30分ほど後に入場しましたが、正面エリアでは無かったものの、横のエリアの前から3席目あたりに座れました。
入場時に、花のレイをかけてくれます。食事はビュッフェ方式で、一度にメインからサラダ、デザートまで取ります。おかわりのドリンクは、係の方が聞きに来てくれます。食事のメニューにポイが無かったのが残念でした。ショーはすべて英語です。一瞬、通り雨が降ったので不安になりましたが、その後晴れたのでラッキーでした。屋上のため天候に左右されるものだという覚悟はしておいた方がいいかもしれません。一度は見ておくと良いショーだと思います。
