All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

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!

Best sunset sail we have been on! Crew was awesome!

It was our first day in Hawaii with our 4, 8, and 11-year-old children, and even though we couldn't speak any English, the atmosphere was amazing. The staff was friendly, and everyone on board was in a good mood with drinks. Compared to other boats, the vibe was great, and I would love to ride on the same boat again.

4、8、11歳の子供と初めてのハワイで初日だったのですが、英語も全く喋れないのに、最高の雰囲気で、スタッフも親切、乗っているみんなお酒が入って気分良く過ごせました。 他の船より、ノリが良くまた同じ船に乗りたいと思います。

We enjoyed the show and thought it was quite professional

Great way to see d island , eat and relax. D food was great and staff friendly and accommodating

I participated in a cocktail cruise on the Friday of the fireworks event. There were no white chairs as a landmark. The reception was at 7 PM and the departure was at 7:30 PM, but we actually left at 7:45 PM, just a few minutes before the fireworks started. We cruised for about an hour afterward, but I couldn't tell where the hotels in Waikiki were, as I could only see the lights without any clear landmarks. I think it would have been better around sunset. However, the starry sky was absolutely beautiful! Since it was late, I quickly became sleepy and spent most of the cruise dozing off (T_T). On the boat, upbeat songs were playing from the DJ, and the bartender was making drinks while a young group was having a great time. I got the impression that it might not be suitable for older guests. There are various nighttime cruises available, like dinner cruises, so it's best to choose one that suits you!

花火開催日の金曜のカクテルクルーズに参加しました。目印の白い椅子はありません。受付19時出航19:30でしたが、19:45に出航し数分後に花火が。その後1時間程クルーズしましたが、ワイキキ界隈のホテルは灯りが灯る様子だけで何処がどの辺りかわからない。サンセットの頃の方が良かったです。ただ、星空が凄く素敵でした！時間が時間なので直ぐ眠くなってしまい、クルーズ中ほぼ寝てました(T_T) 船内ではDJ選曲のアップテンポな曲がかかりバーテンダーがドリンクを作ってくれ、若いグループがキャッキャ言うてました^_^ 年配層には向かないかなーーって印象です。夜のクルーズ船はディナークルーズなど数々あるので、ご自分に合ったものを選ぶと良いですヨ

I wanted to experience something Hawaiian, so I participated in the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center. The show had a storyline (which I won't spoil), and the final fire dance was more powerful than I expected, leaving me deeply moved.

For dinner, I chose the standard buffet, but I can't say it was delicious by any means. The only saving grace was that the pineapple was very sweet and tasty. Since I wasn't satisfied with the other dishes, I ended up eating a lot of pineapple.

Additionally, the round-trip shuttle bus ride was quite long, taking about an hour and a half, and the bumpy roads made for an uncomfortable ride, which was a bit tough.

Despite these downsides, the show was fantastic, so overall, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターのショーを見てハワイっぽいものを感じたいなーと思って参加しました。ショーは、ストーリー仕立てになっており（ストーリーは内緒）、最後のファイヤーダンスは、思った以上に迫力満点で、感動しました。
夕食は、スタンダードバフェを選びましたが、中身はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えないものでした。唯一の救いは、パイナップルがとても甘くて美味しかったことです。他のもので満足できない分、パイナップルをお腹いっぱい頂きました。
あと、往復とも送迎バスでしたが、1時間半程の道のりでとても長かったのと、道がデコボコで乗り心地も悪く、ちょっとキツかったです。

といったマイナス点はありますが、ショーは最高だったので、総じて満足です。

There was also a Hawaiian dinner, but I opted for the affordable all-you-can-eat appetizers. It included four items like Thai-style grilled chicken and meatballs, along with a dessert cake. While it didn't feel luxurious, considering the $30 difference, the sunset, night view, and hula dance were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

ハワイアンディナーもあったのですが、金額の安いアペタイザー食べ放題にしました。タイ風の焼き鳥、肉団子など４品とデザートのケーキで、豪華感はなかったですが３０ドルの違いがあるとかと言えば、サンセットや夜景、フラダンスなどの主役は素晴らしく、充分堪能できました。

We were greeted right outside of our gate once we arrived in Honolulu. Our flight was even delayed over an hour and the amazing representative was still there! She greeted both of us with a friendly "aloha" and adorned our leis in the traditional style. She escorted us to our bag claim and even took a photo for us with our beautiful leis. She was very informative about places to see and things to do also. It was our first time to come to Hawaii and I ghwould definitely recommend this timeless custom to anyone who travels here!

At the time of departure, there were dark clouds in the western sky, and I was feeling like I would have to give up on the sunset, but surprisingly, the sun broke through the clouds at sunset, and it was amazing. A group of about ten cheerful Americans really lifted the atmosphere. I think $45 for all-you-can-drink is a great price. I want to go again next year.

出航時には、西の空に黒い雲がかかってサンセットは諦め気分でしたが、なんと、日没には雲の間から夕日が出てきて最高でした。
10名ほどのアメリカ人の団体さんが陽気で、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれました。ドリンクフリーで45ドルはお値打ち価格だと思います。来年もまた乗りたいです。

We had a wonderful time on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. Met really nice people. The Crew was a lot of fun teaching us the hula. The sunset was beautiful. The food was great. Very organized.

Before the show started, I enjoyed a welcome drink, a Mai Tai, and was treated to cut fruits and macadamia nuts before entering. We had dinner at a VIP table in front of the stage. The lobster was half, but the steak was decent. My wife and I attended together, and she wore a dress she got the day before at a shop in Waikiki, while I dressed up a bit too, filled with excitement for the dinner. The dessert and the final Kona coffee were also very delicious.

Soon, everyone who was only attending the show entered, and the show was about to begin. Elvis Presley had a great atmosphere, and Michael Jackson's dancing was wonderful, receiving applause for his moonwalk. Katy Perry was a bit unfamiliar to us in our 50s, but it was fun and lively. The Hawaiian show and fire dance were packed with entertainment, making it a fantastic show. Above all, the performers' dedication was remarkable, which I believe was a major factor in our enjoyment. After the show, everyone was waiting at the exit, casually taking photos and signing autographs, which allowed us to capture great pictures.

My wife was also at her maximum excitement, and we truly felt we had a wonderful experience. It was a luxurious and enjoyable night in Waikiki to see an entertainment show that combined the essence of Las Vegas with Hawaiian flair, all from a VIP perspective.

ショーの始まる前にウィルカムドリンクのマイタイを頂き、カットフルーツやマカダミアナッツ等でおもてなし後入場しました

、ノリノリで楽しかったです。ハワイアンシヨーやファイアーダンスなど盛りだくさんで素晴らしいエンターティメントショーでした。何より皆さんのなりきり様が半端ではなく、楽しめた大きな要因だと思います。ショーが終わっても出口で皆さん待ってくれていて、記念写真やサインに気軽に応じてくださり、いい写真が撮れました。
家内もテンションMAXで本当にいい体験が出来たと感じました。本場ラスベガスのエンターティメントショーに、ハワイアンが加味された素晴らしくも楽しいディショーをVIPで見れるなんて贅沢で楽しいワイキキの夜でした。

Veltra's response was prompt, and I was grateful that there were no worries before the trip. The sunset was breathtaking. I definitely want to participate again next time.

Veltraの対応は迅速で、旅行前の不安がないのがまず有難かった。感動のサンセット。また次回も是非参加したいです。

We attended the dinner sunset cruise on Sunday September 10, 2017. Transportation is included at no additional cost. Our assigned time to ba at the pick up location was 3:40 for a 3:50 pick up. We were told to look for a black or silver Mercedes Sprinter Van. Many passed by with out stopping. As the time got later every van that flew past us just made us that more concerned that we may not get picked up. We were unstructured to call the Makani if there was any delay in transportation. When I called the recording said I was the third caller. When it finally said I was next and someone would be with me shortly, five minutes later it said they were experiencing high call volume and leave a message. I tried this a couple of times with no luck. Found out after the fact that they don't answer calls after hours so it does no good giving a number to customers. Around 4:10 a van came by. They had a small sign in the front window for Makani. The driver said he was just from a transportation company who gets called sometimes to pick up Makani guests. He received the call late which meant all the remaining guests would be that much later. We mad four stops on the way to the boat to pick up additional passengers and each was more upset than the previous. Makani should contact passenger and let them know that the transportation is running late or have someone answering the phone.

The weather was a little rainy but it was still. Ice to get out on the water. We still had a nice time and the sunset pics were okay. You can't control the weather. The food served was actually really good. Teriyaki chicken, rice, egg rolls, veggies, etc. cookies for dessert. Beers were $6. Other boats included alcohol for around the same price fare but didn't have availability last minute. When we saw the boats that we called which didn't have availability they looked over full. All in all it was a good experience.

I've been to Honolulu many times, but it was my first time seeing the fireworks. Moreover, watching the fireworks from a catamaran was a luxurious experience.

何回もホノルルに来てますが、花火を見るのは初めてでした。
しかも、カタマラン船からの花火は贅沢でした。

It was fully booked since I made a reservation for Friday night. I was worried if it would be too crowded. The sunset was hidden due to the clouds, but I was able to see the fireworks from the Hilton clearly.

The deck railing side was filled with people who boarded earlier, so I had to view from between them while sitting. The buffet tables are first-come, first-served, so if you board late, you won't get a good seat with a nice view. Since there is time until the fireworks, it might be a good idea to think about how to spend your time. The welcome drink was too sweet, and the alcoholic cocktails were just okay. Each person gets one lobster, so be careful not to overeat. It's a pretty standard buffet.

金曜日の夜に予約したので満席でした。こんなに乗れるのかな？と心配に。曇りでサンセットは隠れていて見られませんでしたが、ヒルトンの花火はしっかり見られました。
デッキの手すり側は先に乗船出来た人達で埋まっており、座ってだと人の隙間から見る感じ。
ビュッフェのテーブルは自由席で、遅く乗船になると眺めのいい席は座れないです。花火までは時間があるので、過ごし方を検討してみるといいかもしれません。ウェルカムドリンクは甘過ぎ、アルコールカクテルもちょっと・・・。ロブスターも一人ひとつ出るので食べ過ぎ注意。無難なビュッフェかと。

I participated with three friends.

We were able to see the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the seaside, and it was truly wonderful.

友達を含む4人で参加しました。

海側からワイキキのホテルやダイアモンドヘッドを見ることができ、本当に素晴らしかったです。

The drinks were delicious, and the scenery was very beautiful. Seeing the views from the sea, which I had always seen from land, offered a different perspective and was very refreshing. It was also fun to be on board with people from various nationalities. I definitely want to ride again.

お酒も美味しく景色もとても綺麗で、いつも陸から見ていた景色を海から見るとまた違った発見がありとても新鮮でした。
またいろんな国籍の人が乗っていたのでそれも新鮮で楽しかったです。
また絶対乗りたいです。

I was worried about how it would go since I had a 2-year-old with me, but we were captivated by the changing stages one after another. The service to guests was attentive, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful time.

2歳児連れだったので、どうなる事かと心配していましたが、次々と変わるステージに見入っていました。ゲストへのサービスも行き届き、楽しいひと時を過ごす事が出来ました。

This cruise was incredible! My wife and I only had a few days in Waikiki and chose carefully how we wanted to spend our time. The cruise was definitely the highlight of our trip. The views were incredible, the staff was friendly, and the food was really good! If you're looking for a great photo op this is the place. It can be romantic, but also something fun to do with family or friends. The next time we are in Waikiki we will definitely take this sunset cruise.

We spent full day at Polynesian Cultural Center, it was great to learn different type of Polynesian islands. Our guide was Jargel, she was good, she took us to all the best shows on PCC.

Luau dinner was good, A lot of food selections to choose for.
We got 2 leis . One is made from Kui nuts and other one made from orchids.

They picked up and sent us back to Waikiki, all staffs are very friendly and helpful. This is one of very good attractions you should do when you visit the island. We had a good time there.

The pickup bus was great, as the guide introduced various historical sites and shops along the way. The meal was just okay, probably because it was a standard class. The show had a storyline that I had never seen before, and I gradually became captivated by it. The dance became more intense as it reached its climax, and it was truly impressive. I definitely want to see it again.

迎えのバスでは、ガイドの方が通りがかりでいろいろ歴史やお店を紹介してくれて良かった。食事は通常クラスだったせいかまあまあという感じ。ショーは今まで見たことのないストーリーのあるものでだんだんと引き込まれる感じだった。ダンスもクライマックスにつれて激しくなり圧巻だった。ぜひまた見に行きたいと思う。

This was my second time on the catamaran; the last time I was on a different boat. It was also my first time enjoying the fireworks and riding on a Mai Tai. I ordered an additional Mai Tai, and the crew was friendly, with the captain being very attentive. The fireworks were brief, but I was able to enjoy the night view of Waikiki during the evening cruise, which was very relaxing.

カタマランは２度目で前回は他の船で、花火鑑賞もマイタイに乗るのも今回初めてでした。
ドリンクもマイタイを追加もらいましたし、クルーも親切でキャプテンが
気配りしてくれてました。
花火は短時間ですが、夜のクルーズでワイキキの夜景を見る事が出来、リラックスできました。
