All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

There were about 20 participants, mostly Westerners, along with my family and another group of Japanese people. The staff was friendly, and Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink. Initially, only those who wanted a Mai Tai raised their hands, and they were served accordingly. After that, those who wanted juice could request it themselves. Instead of moving sideways near the Diamond Head, we stopped the engine and sailed straight out to sea using only the power of the sails. If you sit on the right side during the ride, you can enjoy the view of Diamond Head on the way out and the sunset on the way back, which I highly recommend.

Those who ordered alcoholic drinks like Mai Tais put about $5 in the tip box when disembarking. They also took a commemorative photo with the yacht when boarding, which you can purchase for $20 if you like. I bought it as a keepsake, and it became a wonderful memory! The boarding point is at the beach near the Sheraton's Halekulani. It's a bit hard to find, so please be careful. It's a white yacht.

日本人は私たち家族ともう一組であとは欧米人ばかり２０人ほど参加していました。
スタッフもフレンドリーでマイタイやビール、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題。最初にマイタイ希望者のみ手を挙げ人数分サーブされ、その後にジュースなどの希望者は自分でリクエストします。ダイヤモンドベッド近くに横に進むというよりエンジンを止めてかなりの沖合までビーチに垂直に帆の力だけで進みます。乗船は右側に座ると行きはダイヤモンドベッド、帰りはサンセットを眺めれるのでオススメです。
マイタイ等アルコールを注文した人達は降りる時に5ドルほどチップを箱の中に入れていました。乗船時にヨットと記念撮影してくれ気に入れば20ドルで購入出来ます。
記念に購入しましたが良い思い出になりました！乗船はシェラトンのハレクラニ側のビーチです。わかりづらいので気をつけてください。白いヨットです。

I was looking forward to the meal before the show based on the reviews, but it was disappointing. ⤵ The seating during the show was good and easy to see, but the development of the one-hour show was lacking and I got bored.

ショーの前の食事のクチコミを読んで期待していましたがそれ程ではではなくがっかり⤵
ショータイムも席は見やすく良い席でしたが1時間程のショーの展開がイマイチであきてしまいます。

Throughout the afternoon, we went around to various places, and while the guide was very diligent in providing information, we only spent about 10 to 15 minutes at each location. If you need to use the restroom, that time is quickly up. When you have kids with you, it’s hard to move around, so there were times we didn’t get off the bus. I think it might be better to focus on fewer points of interest. The jewelry shop might not be necessary. The Polynesian Cultural Center is sufficient to visit in the afternoon. The buffet for lunch and dinner has almost the same offerings, so one visit is enough. They sell a variety of food. The last show ends at 9 PM, so it gets late, but the show was wonderful.

午後中、あちこち回るんですが、ガイドさんは一生懸命案内してくださるけど、一箇所10分とか15分とか、トイレ行ったら終わり。子供連れてると動けないので、降りなかった時も。ちょっと、ポイントを絞っても良いかと思います。ジュエリーショップは、不要かな。ポリネシア文化センターは、午後からで十分。ビュッフェは夜と昼、ほぼ同じ中身ですから、どちらか一回で良いと思います。何でも食べるもの売ってます。最後のショーが終わると21時なので、夜遅くなるけど、ショーは素晴らしかったです。

It was my first time to be on the cruise and I loved it!
The food was delicious, the view was amazing, and the staffs were very nice and friendly. There were about 12~13 people on the cruise at a time, so the space was enough for everyone.

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. There is a ticket counter where you can give your name and receive your tickets.

You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are smoothies and other options, and since the air conditioning is a bit strong, it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket.

We happened to have seats in the center, but I think you can still enjoy it even from the side seats, as Mr. Presley might come to you as well.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。
チケット売り場があるので名前をいい、チケットを受け取ります。

ドリンクはアルコールとノンアルコールが選べます。
スムージーとそうでないものがあり、少し空調が効いているので薄手の上着を持っていくといいかもしれません。

私達はたまたまセンターの席でしたが、端の席でもプレスリーさんが来てくれたりするので充分楽しめると思います。

Absolutely unreal! Worth every penny. Great music, great crew, just beautiful. Get ready to get splashed!

Next time I would take an anti nausea capsule as it was a little choppy heading out.

The guide was really great. At first, the makeup was so impressive that the kids were surprised, but thinking of it as a way to entertain the participants, it was a very service-oriented approach.

I was a bit surprised to receive sales at the black coral store, but I’m glad I bought something.

The Tonga zone at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very interesting. Now, I regret not raising my hand...

ガイドさんがとっても良かったです。
最初はすごいメイクだったので、子供もびっくりしていましたが、
参加者を喜ばせるための仕掛けだと思うと
とてもサービス精神のある言い方でした。

黒サンゴの店で販売を受けたのはちょっとびっくりしましたけど
買ってよかったと思っています。

ポリネシアン文化センターではトンガのゾーンがとっても面白かったです。
今となっては、手を挙げていればよかったと後悔しています・・・

There were only Asians and mostly Westerners, but it was fun! I thought there would be soft drinks, but it seems there were only alcoholic beverages.

アジア人は自分たちだけで、あとは欧米の人たちばかりでしたけど楽しかったです！
ドリンクはソフトドリンクがあるかと思いましたけどお酒が入ったドリンクしかなかったようです。

Saw this performance with my teen age daughter. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it. It was a fun night out in Waikiki. The dancers are the best part in my opinion. Elvis has strong vocals. Good band too. Excellent stage show - very entertaining. The food was great - my steak was cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation. Even my picky daughter liked the food and tried the lobster. We had great seats - center stage up front. Everyone was very welcoming and the wait staff attentive. The drinks are quite tasty and pretty potent. We did the VIP package and the welcome mai tai was delicious. I'm glad we went.

I was able to experience the various cultures of the Polynesian islands firsthand. My middle school and elementary school children were also delighted to enjoy the world of Samoan movies.

ポリネシアの島々の様々な文化を生で体験できました。中学生と小学生の子どももサモアの映画の世界を満喫できたと喜んでいました。

Beautiful sights along the waters! Enjoyed every second on the boat. Met some pretty cool people from around the world and had an awesome time just relaxing and taking in the views while having some drinks...aloha

Had an enjoyable and unforgettable evening, beautiful entertainers...will definitely come again!
Had an awesome & knowledgeable tour guide on the bus...way to go "K"

It was a fun show that I would like to attend again. However, while they did their best, the singing ability of each performer didn't quite match the real thing, and since I was imagining the originals, I felt a bit unsatisfied. Video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was okay.

また行きたいと思う楽しいショーでした。ただ頑張っておられましたが各歌手の歌唱力がさすがに本物に及ばず、本物をイメージして鑑賞しているだけに少し物足りなさを感じてしまいました。動画はダメですが写真撮影はオッケーでした

I booked this sunset cruise for my man and I for our last night in Hawaii. I wish we would've done this first!!! But saved the best for last. So much fun and the crew was amazing. Will book again.

On our last night in Waikiki, my husband and I participated in this event. First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink and entered the venue. We had about 90 minutes for dinner, which allowed us to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. Lobster, salmon, and steak were served. The taste was just okay. Next, the show began, featuring Hawaiian hula dancing, fire dancing, and impersonation acts, all accompanied by a Hawaiian band. There were many foreign participants, and I thought that if you don't understand English, it might be difficult to grasp what was being said. However, it was a lively and enjoyable time.

ワイキキ最後の夜に、夫婦二人で参加しました。まず、ウェルカムドリンクでおもてなしを受け、会場に入ります。食事の時間が90分程度あり、ゆっくりいただけました。ロブスターやサーモン、ステーキが出てきます。お味はまあまあといったところでした。次にショーが始まり、ハワイのバンドの演奏に合わせて、ハワイアンのフラダンスやファイヤーダンス、ものまねショーが見られます。外国の方の参加が多く、英語がわからないと何を言っているのか理解できないこともあると思いました。しかし、賑やかで楽しいひと時でした。

My wife wanted to see the show, so I went without much expectation, but I enjoyed the show even though I didn't understand the language, and the finale was incredibly powerful, leaving me very satisfied.

妻がショーを見たいということで、私はそれほど期待しないで行ったのですが、言葉がわからなくても途中のショーは楽しめ、最後は大迫力で大変満足できました。

I was swayed for longer than I expected. We departed while it was still a bit light out, but it quickly got dark, and the fireworks were really beautiful. Since I participated on the day I arrived in Honolulu, the sway of the boat was pleasantly soothing, and I dozed off a bit due to the time difference... I didn't understand the language, but the atmosphere was good, so I had a great time.

思ったより長い時間揺られていました。
まだ少し明るい時間に出発したけどあっという間に暗くなり、花火もとってもきれいに見れました。今回、ホノルルに到着した日に参加したので時差の関係で船の揺れが心地よくウトウト･･･
言葉は分からなかったけどノリは良かったので楽しかったです。

We had your stunning leis delivered as a surprise to our son and Daughter-in-law at Honolulu Airport. Beautiful! Great surprise! Thank you so much. We will certainly use your company again!!

Friendly fun staff and a fantastic sail even though the sunset was not spectacular.

Last year, I couldn't make a reservation on-site, so this year I booked from Japan. It was more fun than I expected. My parents in their 70s were also able to participate. I recommend it because there are not many Japanese people.

昨年現地で予約が取れなかったので、今年は日本から予約していきました。
予想以上に楽しかったです。７０代の両親も参加出来ました。
日本人が少ないのがお勧めです。

I didn't expect much, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal, but I was not only very satisfied but also impressed by the impact. I heard that the performers were students from Brigham Young University Hawaii, and the story was well-structured and very enjoyable. I was able to understand it well even without Japanese explanations. This time, I went with my seven grandchildren, and they all gave it high praise.

まあ、大したことないだろうと期待していなかったんですが、非常に満足どころか迫力に感心しました。
ブリガムヤング大学ハワイ校の学生だと言う話でしたが、ストーリーがしっかりしていて、とても楽しめました。また、日本語解説がなくても充分理解できました。
今回、孫まで7人で行きましたが好評価でした。

We had a great time on the boat sailing around diamond head and the Waikiki area. The two man crew was super helpful and a joy to be around. There was a variety of beers onboard along with a homemade concoction of mango and a variety of alcohols. Don't exactly know what was in it..but it was fantastic. The boat was fully packed, but we all had a great time riding the waves and enjoying all the views!

I often stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I had never seen a luau before and experienced it for the first time. The meal was a buffet with a variety of dishes, and it was delicious and filling. The luau show was also great.

There is a recommendation to arrive 10 minutes early, but it takes about 40 minutes from the start of admission to completion, and since it’s still sunny at that time, if you go too early, it can be hot and the wait time is long. I felt there was no need to rush.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにはよく泊まるのですが
ルアウは見たことがなく、初めて体験しました。
食事はビュッフェ形式でいろいろなメニューがあり
おいしくお腹いっぱいになりました。
ルアウショーも良かったです。

会場には10分前に来るように案内がありますが
入場を開始してから完了するまで40分ぐらいかかり、
まだ日も照っている時間なので早く行くと暑くて待ち時間が長いです。
急いで行く必要はないと思いました。

I participated with my mother and aunt. Since it was the day before Independence Day, it was very quiet. We were able to enjoy a graceful cruise. The windows weren't very clean, so the view from inside the boat wasn't great, but it felt really nice when we went outside.

母と叔母と3人で参加しました。独立記念日の前日だったのでとても空いてました。優雅な感じでクルージングが出来ました。窓ガラスがあまり綺麗じゃなかったので船内からの景色はいまいち、でも外に出たらとても気持ち良かったです。

It was fun! The actual sunset was after we got off the boat, but it was great for experiencing the atmosphere. The participation rate of Japanese people is lower compared to other activities, so you can feel a sense of being in a foreign country.

たのしかったです！
実際のサンセットは船を降りてからでしたが、雰囲気を味わうにはよかったです。
他のアクティビティより日本人の参加率は低めなので、異国感は感じられます。

In addition to the star-studded stage, there were beautiful hula performances, impressive fire dances, and the food was delicious! My elementary school daughters also enjoyed it.

スターのステージに加え、華やかなフラ、迫力あるファイヤーダンス、お料理も美味しいです！小学生の娘達も楽しんでました。

I was late for the meeting time, but I was relieved that they welcomed me with a smile. The sunset had nice music, and everyone seemed happy. Besides us, there were other foreigners, which added to the Hawaiian vibe and made it a relaxing experience. There are restrooms available, but they are portable toilets, and you can see from above, which might be a bit embarrassing for those in one-piece swimsuits.

集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが笑顔で迎えてくれて助かりました。
サンセットはいい感じの音楽でみんなが幸せそうでした。
私たち以外、外国人の方で、さらにハワイ感が感じられてゆったりと過ごせました^ ^
トイレもついていますが、簡易トイレでうえからは丸見えです笑
ワンピース型の水着の方はちょっと照れてしまうかもしれません(^ ^)

I took my second-grade child with me. Occasionally, there is an English narrator during the show, but even if you don't understand it, children can still grasp the story.

The show was simply amazing. The male performers were powerful, and the female performers were elegant and exceeded my expectations. The final fire dance received a huge cheer from the entire audience. The excitement was at its peak.

Waikiki is filled with Japanese tourists, but here the ratio of Western visitors is higher, allowing you to experience a slightly different atmosphere.

The meal was a standard course, but it was quite delicious.

The travel time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes one way. It's quite long. The air conditioning in the car works well, so you will need a long-sleeved shirt.

If you're looking for something beyond shopping and the beach, I highly recommend this.

小2の子供を連れて行きました。
ショーの合間に時々英語のナレーターが流れますが、
それが分からなくても子供でもストーリーは分かります。

ショーは素晴らしいの一言。
男性は迫力があり、女性は優雅で想像以上でした。
最後のファイアーダンスは観客全員が大歓声。
盛り上がりは最高潮でした。

ワイキキは日本人だらけですが、ココは欧米の方の比率が高く、
ちょっと違った雰囲気も味わえます。

食事はスタンダードコースでしたが、普通に美味しかったです。

移動時間は片道約1時間30分。
結構長いです。
車内のエアコンは良く効いているので、長袖1枚必要です。

買い物やビーチ以外に何かお探しの方には是非どうぞ。

We had a wonderful time on the Holokai! The captain and crew were very funny and asked many times if they could get us anything. I would highly recommend this. It was one of our favorite activities while in Hawaii.

It was quite comfortable with little shaking. There were many people from overseas. The staff was very friendly. We could see a rainbow in a semicircle.

あまり揺れなくてかなり快適。
海外からの方々非常に多いです。
スタッフかなり親切でした。レインボーが半円でみれました。
