All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The fireworks display every Friday in Waikiki was incredibly beautiful, and we were able to see it from the ocean! It was great that drinks were unlimited as well. However, unlike other optional tours, there were mostly foreigners, and the guide didn't speak much Japanese. Since it can be quite windy, I recommend bringing a light jacket. Also, when getting on the boat, you go barefoot and your toes can get wet, so sandals are a good choice.

ワイキキで毎週金曜に打ち上げ花火があがり、それを海の上から見ることができたのはすごく綺麗でした！飲み物も生放題なのも良かったです。しかし、他のオプショナルツアーと違い外国人がほとんどで、案内の方もあまり日本語が通じなかったです。なかなか風があるので、一枚羽織るのをお勧めします。あと、船に乗るときに裸足になり、つま先が濡れるので、サンダルがいいです。

It's like a cultural festival where all the staff are university students. The show was impressive, especially the final fire dance, which was entertaining.

The food was deluxe, but the crab was not all-you-can-eat; it was a system where you exchanged tickets for it, and you could only get it once. Plus, it was not good. The buffet selection was limited, and the soft drinks were on an order basis, so you had to keep placing orders. Since the staff were not present in the hall, it was difficult to order. Despite that, they were eager to clear the tables, so they kept taking away plates and glasses. Even while I was still eating, they touched my plate with dirty gloves and asked, "Finish?" I felt like saying, "How can I eat something you touched with dirty hands!" They did this right when I had food on my plate and was about to take a bite. It was really frustrating. It felt like harassment. By the way, the clearing staff did not take orders. The female staff at the entrance were very pleasant, so I wished they could have taken over.

I don't think it's worth the hour and a half bus ride from Waikiki. It felt like a waste of time and money.

スタッフ全員が大学生という、文化祭みたいなところです。
ショーは迫力あり、特に最後のファイアーダンスは面白かったです。むしろそれくらい。

食事はデラックスでしたが、カニは食べ放題ではなく、チケットと交換する仕組みで、1回しかもらえません。そしてまずい。
ビュッフェの内容も少ないし、ソフトドリンク飲み放題はオーダー制なのでいちいち注文しなければならない。スタッフがホールにいないので、なかなか注文できない。
その割りに片付けたがるので、どんどんお皿やグラスを下げられる。
まだ食事中なのに、汚れた手袋で、食べているお皿に触ってから、『finish?』と聞かれます。
いや、汚い手で触ったものを食えるか！って感じで。しっかり食べ物が乗っていて、今まさに口に運んでるときにそういうことをしてきます。
本当にむかつきました。嫌がらせとしか思えません。ちなみに、片付けスタッフは注文を聞いてくれません。入り口の女性スタッフはとても感じよかったので、代わってほしかったです。

ワイキキからバスで1時間半かけて行くほどではないと思いました。
時間とお金を無駄にした感じです。

There were quite a few waves, and it was a bit rocky, but the wind felt nice, and the sunset view of Waikiki was amazing! The Mai Tai was delicious too!

結構波があって揺れましたが、風が気持ち良く、サンセット、ワイキキの景色か最高でした！マイタイも美味しかったです！

It was a wonderful cruise where I could enjoy the Hilton fireworks from the ocean with a Mai Tai in hand on a Friday night in Honolulu. After the fireworks, I was able to enjoy the night view, starry sky, and drinks, which felt luxurious.

When getting on and off the boat, the waves can splash up to about my shins, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

ホノルルの金曜の夜のお楽しみ、ヒルトンの花火を洋上からマイタイ片手に観ることができるステキなクルーズでした。花火の後も夜景と星空とお酒を楽しめて贅沢な気分。
乗り降りのときにひざ下くらいまでは波で濡れるので濡れてもいい服がオススメです。

The reception and time management were a bit lacking in the Honolulu style, but the event itself was great. We were able to create a sense of camaraderie on the boat and share the value of a beautiful sunset.

受付、時間管理はホノルル流でずさんだが、イベント自体は良かった。
船上での連帯感もできて素敵なサンセットの価値を共有できた。

The event was well organized starting with proof of ticket, to complimentary drink, I can not comment on the appetizers, because we were a little late arriving so we missed them. The meal, which consisted of salmon, steak and potato, was disappointing because it was served cold, but the taste was lovely. Also, we were not impressed with the uniform table arrangements, it would have been better in groups.
Actual show was very good, Elvis looked like a young Elvis Presley, he had a good voice, and stage presence, good with the audience participation. My personal favourite was Michael Jackson, who reminded us of a younger Michael Jackson before all his cosmetic surgery. He had all the right dance moves, especially Billie Jean and the moon walk. Katy Perry was believable, strong vocals, she appeals to a younger audience, and the props she used had a great effect. Costumes for all three artists were very good. The fire knife dancer was amazing, I held my breath in parts he made a dangerous act look easy. All the background dancers,proved themselves worthy with an excellent display of hula dancing.... amazing! The band worked well with each individual artist and the drummer was amazing. Back up singers went through many costume changes with speed and professionalism and set changes ie: bubble and surfboard sections added to the overall enjoyment of the show. The inclusion of Don Ho and the ukulele was a nice salute to the Hawaiian culture,
The waiters and waitresses worked diligently throughout, and cleared the tables efficiently, and were attentive to diners needs. Another nice touch was the fact that there was two celebrations, a Birthday and honeymoon was announced, and we all got to share in the celebration. The screens at either side of the stage was a novel idea and added to the enjoyment of the show. All the artists were very accommodating after the show and graciously took time with people from the audience that wanted photographs taken with them or chat.

A fun and relaxing way to see the sunset and have a couple of cocktails. Boat very stable

You haven't seen Hawaii until you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center. This place is so rich in history, culture, great food and entertainment that it will blow your mind.

We had a wonderful time out on the Makani Catermeran this week. The crew was very friendly, funny and accomodating. The boat ride was also very smooth ( per the weather conditions ) and all of us looked like we had a great time. We never felt cramped, the boat was plenty large enough. Food was pretty good as well as the drinks!!! We stuffed our selves! One of the crew even fished as we sailed along, unfortunately nothing was caught this time out. The views of waikiki and diamond head were amazing! It was great to get to see the skyline from the ocean. The sunset was beautiful and was timed great on our way back! Thank you everyone at Makani Catameran!

Although it's a bit far from Waikiki, I think it's worth seeing. The fire show, in particular, was amazing, and the handsome guy handling the main fire was impressive as he threw the fire sticks far away and caught them perfectly. I wanted to take a picture with him. That day, there was also someone who was said to be a descendant of the Hawaiian royal family, referred to as a princess. The return bus was small and stopped in a hard-to-find location, which made it take some time to find.

ワイキキから少し遠いけれども見る価値はあると思います。特にファイヤーショーは最高でメインのファイヤーのイケメンさんがカッコ良く、遠くにファイヤーの棒を投げ、ちゃんとキャッチするところが良かったです。一緒に写真を撮りたかった。その日はハワイ王朝の子孫らしきお姫様と呼ばれている方もいらしてました。帰りのバスが小型で分かりにくい場所に停車しており、探すのに時間がかかります。

The dinner cruise we participated in was completely different from any other dinner cruise we've been on. First, we were picked up at 4 PM, which felt early for a dinner cruise.

The boat was small with an open bottom, making it feel like it was on skis. On the day we went, we were the only Japanese guests, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, everything was in English, but that was fine.

As soon as we set sail, a buffet-style meal began. However, the selection was limited, and it wasn't really what you would call a dinner buffet. There were too few tables for everyone to eat at the same time. Up to that point, I thought this cruise was a bit disappointing, but I was surprised when we went out onto the deck. The waves were high that day, and the boat was moving at an incredible speed, riding over the waves like surfing, which was really thrilling. It felt like the boat itself was an attraction, and while I was scared it might capsize, I had a lot of fun. The other guests were also very excited.

There was a deck at the front of the boat where you could stand and get splashed with water. The front area had a net-like seating arrangement, allowing us to see the ocean below through the mesh. It was quite impressive. Instead of enjoying a meal on the dinner cruise, we found a different kind of enjoyment and were very satisfied. I recommend wearing casual clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

After the thrilling experience, we slowly moved towards Diamond Head, where we enjoyed a peaceful moment that was quite different from earlier. During sunset, we had a relaxing time and took many photos. The tour ended when the sun went down, so we returned earlier than on a typical dinner cruise. By the time we left, even though we couldn't communicate well, the Americans who were also on the cruise made an effort to communicate with us, which was enjoyable.

I wouldn't recommend this for those who want to enjoy a dinner, but for those who want to experience the thrill of the boat, it was an excellent cruise.

参加したディナークルーズは今まで参加したディナークルーズとは全く違いました。まず迎えに来てもらうのが16時。ディナークルーズにしては早いなって思いながらの参加でした。
船は小さく船底が開いている…船がスキー板をはいている感じです。参加した日は日本人は私たち夫婦だけでした。スタッフも日本語が話せないので全て英語でしたが大丈夫でした。
出航するとすぐにバイキング形式の食事が始まりました。食事と言っても品数は少なくてとてもディナーバイキングと呼べる料理ではありませんでした。テーブルも少なくて全員が一斉には食事出来ない席数です。ここまではこのクルージングはいまいちかと思っていましたがデッキへ出てびっくりしました。私が参加した日は波が高くて沖にすごいスピードで船が進んで行くので波乗りのように波を渡っていきそれはそれはすごい迫力でした。船そのものがアトラクションのようで転覆しないかとすごく怖かったけどすごく楽しかったです。外人さん達も大盛り上がりでした。船の先端にデッキがありそこに立つと水しぶきですごく濡れます。前方は網で編んだような座れるところになっていて下は海が網の目から見れます。すごい迫力です。ディナークルーズで食事を楽しむよりは違った楽しみ方で大満足でした。服は濡れてもいいようにカジュアルが良いと思います。アトラクションのようなスリルの後はゆっくり進んでダイヤモンドヘッドが見れて先ほどとは違った静かな時間が流れました。サンセットの時もゆったりした時間で写真もたくさん撮れました。日が沈むと終了のツアーなので通常のディナークルーズより帰りは早いです。帰る頃には言葉は通じないけど参加していたアメリカの人達が一生懸命コミュニケーションをとってくれて楽しかったです。ディナーを楽しみたい人にはあまりおすすめしませんが船の迫力を楽しみたい人には最高のクルージングでした。

The breeze was very pleasant, and I was able to enjoy both the sunset and the night view! The crew and participants were very energetic, and it felt like being in a nightclub or bar. The meeting point was a bit hard to find.

風がとても気持ちよく、サンセットと夜景と両方楽しめました！クルーも参加者もテンション高く、なんだかナイトクラブやバーにいる気分でした。集合場所が分かりにくかったです。

Great food, great service, friendly and attentive staff. The show was awesome would love to do it again when we come back in 2019!!

The sunset sailing was beautiful, with the sunset being particularly stunning. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite nice. A rainbow appeared as well. There were two handsome staff members.

Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I was very satisfied as a fan of alcohol.

A point to note is that you board the boat barefoot, so I recommend wearing flip-flops. Also, there aren't enough seats for everyone, so it's better to board early. We ended up being quite late, so there were no seats for us, but eventually, someone stood up and we were able to sit in their spot. The sunset happens during the second half of the sailing, so sitting until the sun sets and then standing to watch is a good idea. It sways quite a bit, so pack lightly.

The meeting place was by the Outrigger Reef, but I mistakenly went to the Outrigger and got quite flustered. Make sure not to mix them up.

サンセットセーリングだけあって、夕陽がとてもきれいでした。海から見るワイキキの街並みもなかなかなでした。虹も出ましたよ。スタッフはイケメンの２人。
お酒は飲み放題なので、お酒好きの私は大満足。
注意点は船には裸足で乗るので、靴はビーサンくらいがいいと思います。あと、座席は人数分ではないので、早めに乗った方がいいです。私たちはかなり遅くなってしまったので、座席はありませんでしたが、途中、立つ人がいて空いたところに座れました。夕陽はセーリング後半なので、途中まで座って陽が暮れたら立って見るのもいいですね。かなり揺れるので荷物は少な目に。あと集合場所は「アウトリガー・リーフ」の海辺だったのですが、間違えて「アウトリガー」に行ってしまい、かなり焦りました。お間違えなく。

Had an amazing Time the entire crew was amazing!! Will def be booking again when I'm back in Hawaii!!

Since I have a 6-month-old and a nearly 3-year-old, I thought a formal cruise might be too much, so I chose this option. However, both my mother in her 70s and I are prone to seasickness, so we took motion sickness medication. The boat rocked quite a bit, and while I took the full recommended dose and was on the verge of seasickness, my mother, who took half, ended up completely seasick. My husband and the kids, who usually don’t get seasick, were fine. After a while out at sea, the seasickness settled down, but those prone to it should be cautious.

The boat is small, and everyone was dressed casually, making for a relaxed cruising experience. There are no assigned seats, so you can sit wherever you like on a first-come, first-served basis. Hawaiian music played before departure, which really set the mood. After we set sail, ballads from artists like The Beatles filled the air, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I was mesmerized by the pink-tinted sea. And then there was the green flash! I’m not entirely sure since it wasn’t a bright green, but the crew member shouted "green flash!" so I believe that’s what it was. The sunset, which shone brightly before fading away, left a strong impression.

The food was light snacks, but it was delicious. Even my 3-year-old ate well. Our family was the only one with kids; most of the participants were white. Since the kids behaved quietly, I don’t think we were looked at disapprovingly. A friendly woman in her 60s approached me while I was holding the baby, which made me happy.

As a side note, a fishing rod set up at the back of the boat got a hit, and we caught a fish about 60 cm long. It seemed to be very exciting for the 3-year-old boy.

6か月とそろそろ3歳の子連れなので、格式高いクルージングは無理かな…と思い、こちらを選択しました。ただ、私も70台の母も船酔い体質なため、酔い止めを飲みました。が、かなり船は揺れたため、規定量の全量飲んだ私は船酔い一歩手前、半量飲んだ母は完全な船酔いに…。あまり酔わない夫と子供たちは大丈夫でした。沖に出てしばらくすると船酔いも落ち着きましたが、船酔いする人は要注意です。

船は小さく、参加者も皆ラフな服装なので、カジュアルに楽しめるクルージングです。席は決まっていないので、先着順に好きな席に座れます。出航前から、ハワイアンミュージックが流れており、ムードが高まりました。出航後はビートルズなどのバラード系の洋楽が流れ、雰囲気満点でした。
夕陽はとても美しく、ピンクに染まる海にうっとりでした。そしてグリーンフラッシュ！はっきりとした緑色ではなかったので自信はないですが、船員さんが「green flash!」と叫んだので,
きっとそうなのだと思っています。最後にピカッと光ったあとにスッと消えた夕陽はとても印象的でした。

ご飯は軽食ですが、美味しかったです。3歳の子も良く食べていました。
子連れは私たち家族だけで、ほとんどは白人でした。子供たちが大人しくしてくれていたので、白い目で見られることはなかったと思います。赤ちゃんを抱っこしていたら白人の60台くらいの女性からフレンドリーに話しかけられて嬉しかったです。
余談ですが、船尾にしかけた釣り竿がヒットし、60㎝くらいの魚を釣り上げていました。3歳の男の子にはとっても面白かったようでした。

We waited for over 30 minutes past the meeting time before boarding finally began. Your feet will definitely get wet when you get on, so it's better to wear flip-flops. If you don't want to get wet on the boat, it's best to sit in the middle. The front and back ends will definitely get wet. However, it was fun, like an amusement park attraction. I was a little worried about getting seasick, but I was totally fine. In addition to Mai Tai, there are also unlimited soft drinks like juice. The music ranged from nostalgic tunes to recent hits, and by the end, many young Japanese people were dancing along. About half of the guests were Japanese. In the end, everyone, including the crew and foreigners, became friendly. We stopped until the sunset, and the view was amazing. The price is also reasonable, so I highly recommend this tour!

集合時間より30分以上待たされてやっと乗船開始でした。乗るときに足元は絶対に濡れます。ビーサンで行った方がいいです。船で濡れたくないなら真ん中の席に座った方がいいです。前方や後方の両端は絶対に濡れます。でも遊園地のアトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。酔ってしまうかなとちょっと心配しましたが私は全然平気でした。マイタイの他にジュースなどのソフトドリンクも飲み放題です。音楽も懐かしいのから最近のヒット曲までかかって最後は若い人は日本人もノリノリで踊ってました。半分位が日本人でした。最後は乗組員や外国人含めてみんな仲良しになりますよー。夕陽が沈むまでは停止して景色が最高でした。お値段もお安いしオス
スメのツアーです！

We had one of the best experiences! So much fun and it's something I will never forget! Defiantly would recommend!

We attended the sunset cocktail cruise and had a lot of fun! Both the bartender and captain were very friendly. We had been on several other sunset cruises and this one is easily one of the best. We encountered some waves which everyone enjoyed. Try the Holokai cocktail!

My fellow bridesmaids and I took 25 women on the cocktail cruise as part of a bachelorette party. Everyone had a great time and raved about the experience! The crew was great as were the drinks! Highly recommend for a group or family!!

You can enjoy a pleasant cruise. The drinks are delicious, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea are fantastic. There are quite a few foreigners on board, and the atmosphere is lively, so if you can get used to that, it might be even more fun.

気持ちいいクルーズが楽しめます。ドリンクを美味しく、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも最高です。外人多めでテンション高めなので、それになれれば、さらに楽しいかも。

I had a wonderful time with the best crew and the best passengers. We boarded barefoot and raced along while enjoying the refreshing breeze. We ordered cocktails, beer, champagne, and whatever we liked as we ventured further out to sea. We took a lot of photos. It was a very enjoyable cruise.

最高のクルーと最高の乗船者達とのひとときを過ごしました。裸足で乗船し、爽やかな風を浴びながら疾走します。カクテル、ビール、シャンパンなど好きなものを頼んで、どんどん沖に行きます。写真も沢山撮りました。とても楽しいクルーズでした。

It was great to see various aspects of Waikiki from bright daylight to nighttime. The waves added a thrill, almost like a little attraction! I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly, and the view of Waikiki's night scenery from the ocean was wonderful.

明るい時間から、夜景の時間まで、いろいろなワイキキが見れてよかったです
波もあって、ちょっとしたアトラクションみたいでスリル満点です！
サンセットもゆっくり見れたし、海から見るワイキキの夜景が素敵でした

My wife and I had a great time. The scenery was amazing and we got some really good pictures. The food was really good also.

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.

到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました

Smooth pickup from the hotel (I was actually nervous since it was my first time).

The half-day tour of Oahu wasn't part of my original plan, but I'm so glad I went! It was amazing... especially Hanauma Bay, which has the most beautiful beach in the world and is definitely worth seeing.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is also a fantastic place to learn about Hawaiian and other regional cultures. I got to experience hands-on activities and demonstrations, and it was a day filled with laughter!

Japanese people... let's quickly throw away the feeling of embarrassment. There's no need to be shy; just be cheerful and enjoy! (laughs)

Thank you for a fun day! m(._.)m

ホテルからスムーズにピックアップ(実は初めてだからドキドキでした)

オアフ半日観光は当初の予定外でしたが行って良かったぁ‼最高…特に世界一キレイなビーチ、ハナウマ湾は一見の価値がありですよ

ポリネシア文化センターもハワイや他地区の文化を学ぶには最高⤴⤴です。手作り経験や実演をさせてもらったり、笑い転げた１日でした‼

日本人よ…恥ずかしいという気持ちは早く捨てよう。陽気に朗らかに楽しくシャイなんて要らないよ(笑)

楽しい1日をありがとうm(._.)m

Overall, it was good, but heading towards the sunset was impossible. Since we set sail after sunset, it was a bit disappointing to board in complete darkness, illuminated only by the searchlight. The sailing itself was very nice. The wind was strong, but it felt great.

全般的には良かったのですが、夕陽に向かって⁇は、無理でした。日没後の出航なので、真っ暗中、サーチライトに照らされながらの乗船でちょっと残念でした。
セーリングは大変良かったです。風が強かったですが、気持ちよく過ごせました。

The pickup was a bit confusing since other tours gathered at the same location, but I was relieved that we were picked up safely. After arriving, we waited a little before boarding. The boat was smaller than I expected. Right after boarding, there was an announcement about safety instructions in the dining area, but it was all in English. There were no other Japanese people besides us, which made me a bit worried, but I managed to understand most of it with some listening skills. They explained the locations of the life jackets and the restrooms. The meal was served buffet-style, with white rice, taro, spring rolls, beef and vegetable stir-fry, BBQ chicken, and boiled vegetables. There weren't many options, but since I was worried about seasickness, it was enough for me. We had a small child with us, but they didn't mind at all, and we were able to relax. The area with a net stretched over the water below was a lovely spot. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the dazzling sea before sunset, and we were very satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. The child seemed impressed and kept saying, "The sky is red!" Even the family members who were seasick felt better after watching the beautiful sunset! I’m really glad we participated. I highly recommend this tour!

ピックアップは、他のツアーも同じ場所で集合があり、少し分かりづらかったものの、無事ピックアップしていただけて安心しました。
到着後、少し待ってから乗船しました。
思っていたより小さな船でした。
乗り込んですぐに、船内の食事スペースで乗船の注意事項の案内がありましたが、全て英語です。
日本人は私達意外おらず、少し心配でしたが、多少のヒアリング力で大体分かりました。
ライフカードの場所、トイレの場所等の説明でした。
食事はビュッフェ形式です。
白米、タロ芋、春巻、ビーフと野菜炒め、BBQチキン、茹で野菜等がありました。
品数は多くはなかったですが、船酔いが心配であまり食べられなかったので十分でした。
小さい子連れでしたが、嫌がられる事もなく、安心して過ごせました。
水上を真下にネットが張ってあるスペースは素敵な場所でした。
天候にも恵まれ、サンセット前の眩しい海を堪能してから、キレイなサンセットをしっかり見られ大満足でした。
子どもも印象的だったようで、お空が赤！とずっと言っていました。
船酔いしていた家族も美しいサンセットを見ていたら船酔いも解消された！と大満足でした。
参加してとても良かったです。
オススメのツアーです！

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to see a show that would let me experience Hawaii, so I booked this one right in front of the Sheraton Waikiki where I was staying.

There were hula dances and fire dances, of course, but also shows featuring Elvis, Michael, and Katy Perry, which was different from what I had imagined. However, it was a good experience to see American entertainment.

After taking commemorative photos, I received a welcome drink, a Mai Tai, and moved to my seat in the front row. By the way, the photos were available for purchase at $25, and since they turned out to be surprisingly good, I decided to buy them (including a photo of Elvis and three others).

I had reserved a VIP seat, so after being seated, the meal began, but it was arranged to eat before the show started. I entered about 15 minutes late, so the meal felt a bit rushed, but it was all delicious, starting with the main set of steak and salmon.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience for my first time in Hawaii.

初ハワイでしたので、ハワイを感じられるショーを見ておこうと思い、宿泊していたシェラトンワイキキ目の前のこちらを予約しました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスはもちろん、エルビスやマイケル、ケイティペリーのショーもあるなど、想像していたステージとは違っていましたが、アメリカンエンターテインメントを見ることができてよい経験でした。
記念の写真撮影を撮影後、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイを受け取り、ステージ正面の1階席に移動。ちなみに写真は25ドルで購入可能で、思いのほか良い写真だったので購入しました。（エルビス他3人の写真もセット）
今回はVIP席で予約していたため、着席後は食事が始まるのですが、ショーが始まる前に食べる段取りでした。15分ほど遅刻しての入場であったため、やや急かされての食事でしたが、メインのステーキとサーモンのセットをはじめ、一通り美味しい食事でした。
初ハワイとしては満足の経験でした。

A fun filled night with good singing and dancing. Entertaining for all ages!
