All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I love this star of hononlulu sunset cruises... their had a very good services... next time I still gonna go more

The location was within the Royal Hawaiian Center, so it was convenient and close to the hotel where I was staying.

The show featured traditional Hawaiian dances and impersonations (?), alternating between them, and the time flew by. However, there were many songs I didn't know, so I thought it would have been better to study some songs by Michael and Presley in advance. The venue had strong air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket.

場所がロイヤルハワイアンセンター内だったので宿泊していたホテルから近く便利でした。

ショーの内容もハワイの伝統的なダンスとそっくりさんのモノマネ（？）ライブと交互にあり時間があっという間に過ぎました。
ただ知らない曲が多かったのでもう少し事前にマイケルやプレスリーの曲を勉強していけばよかったかなと思いました。
会場は冷房がかなりきいているので必ず長袖の上着を持っていくのがいいと思います。

On our honeymoon in early December, my husband and I went to see a famous rock show in Hawaii on our last night, the fourth night of our trip (＾＿＾)☆ The show took place on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, where we enjoyed a service that included toasting with drinks and eating fruits and nuts in a stylish VIP room before the show started! If you prefer non-alcoholic drinks, just say "non-alcohol please" and you will receive a non-alcoholic option♪ Alcoholic drinks come with clear straws, while non-alcoholic drinks have red straws as a marker! After that, we moved to the venue where the show was held and enjoyed a delicious meal (´ω｀). The luxurious lobster was the most impressive dish! The waitstaff were friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! The show featured impersonators of famous celebrities like Michael Jackson, and it was truly moving to see them up close! Additionally, the fire dance was also impressive! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and it was very powerful! The audience's excitement reached its peak! After the show, we had our photo taken with three celebrity impersonators by the staff! A little waiting in line for photos is all you need♪ The rock show created unforgettable memories for us (＾＿＾)☆ I would love to participate again!

ハネムーンで12月上旬に旦那と初めてのハワイの最終日4日目の夜にハワイで有名なロックショーを観に行きました（＾＿＾）☆ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に行われたこのショーでは、ショーが始まる前におしゃれなVIPルームでお酒で乾杯しながらフルーツやナッツを食べたりするサービスがありました！ノンアルコール希望の人はノンアルコールプリーズと言えばノンアルコールをいただけます♪アルコールの方は透明なストロー、ノンアルコールの方は赤色のストローが目印です！その後にショーが行われる会場に移動し、美味しいお食事をいただきました(´ω｀)高級なロブスターが1番印象的でした！ウェイトレスさんも気さくな方が多くとても楽しかったです！ショーはマイケルジャクソンなどのそっくりな有名人さんを間近でみることができ、とても感動しました！また、ファイヤーダンスも感動しました！ファイヤーダンスも初めて観たのでとても迫力がありました！観客からの盛り上がりも最高潮に達していました！ショーが終わった後に、有名人そっくりさん3人と写真をスタッフの方に撮っていただきました！写真撮影は少し並べば大丈夫です♪ロックショでは、一生の思い出を作ることができました（＾＿＾）☆また参加したいと思いました！

Our greeter was waiting for us even though our plane was late. She took a picture for us and guided us through the airport. Thank you.

I felt like I was on the boat for quite a long time! I usually don't take the time to enjoy the sunset, so I was completely relaxed and lost track of time. After the sun went down, I was able to enjoy the night view as well ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ On the way back, the waves were a bit rough, and I got seasick. But I want to go again!

結構長い時間のっていた気がします！！
夕日が沈むまで、ゆっくり見ることなんて普段ないので、時間を忘れて癒されました。
沈んでからは、夜景も堪能できました( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
帰りにじゃっかん波があらくて、船酔いしました。
でも、また行きたいです！

I've participated in luaus multiple times, and in just two hours, you can learn about Hawaii's history through an engaging show. An elderly American couple from the mainland celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary and came on a commemorative trip with their daughter and her husband. The husband raised his hand to report this to the host, and everyone congratulated them—typical of America! But I think there were only about two other Japanese couples besides us? We forgot that we were foreigners (laughs).

何度もルアウに参加していますが、2時間でハワイの歴史が分かる、そして飽きないショーの展開、お隣のメインランドからいらしたアメリカ人の老夫婦は、結婚45年記念に、娘さんご夫婦と記念旅行に来られたそうで、司会者に旦那様が手を挙げて報告、皆んなでおめでとうの嵐、流石アメリカだ！でも日本人は私達以外には2組ぐらいだったかな？私達が外人なのを忘れていました（笑）

I watched my first hula show in Hawaii. Since I had the chance, I opted for the green room package with dinner. It included welcome champagne in the green room, a commemorative photo with the performers, a backstage tour, and a course meal. I think it's quite affordable at under $200 compared to other hula shows. The explanation during the backstage tour was all in English, so there were parts I didn't fully understand. I was able to watch up close, and I could feel the heat from the fire dance. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity.

ハワイで初めてフラショーを観ました。
せっかくなので、グリーンルームと料理付きにしました。
グリーンルームでのウェルカムシャンパンと出演者との記念写真、バックステージツアーにコース料理。全て含まれて200ドルしないので他のフラショーと比べても安いと思います。
バックステージツアーの説明は全部英語なので所々わからないところ有りでした。
近くで観れたので、ファイアーダンスは炎の熱を感じる程でした。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

Everything was great - it even rained so we sort of had soupy food, but the entertainment was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and met a couple of very nice people!

It was an open rooftop, so we had our meal while getting soaked in the rain. They only provided thin plastic ponchos, and there wasn't much follow-up.

The show and the meal were good, so the weather seems to significantly affect the overall satisfaction.

屋根のない屋上だったので、雨でびしょびしょになりながら食事をしました。
薄いビニールのポンチョが配られただけで、特にフォローはありません。

ショーや食事は良かったので、天気で満足度はかなり変わりそうです。

About 20% of the people were Japanese, but on the contrary, that really enhanced the feeling of being on an overseas trip, which was great. I was quite surprised that they went all the way out to the open sea!

日本人は２割くらいでしたが、逆にそれが海外旅行に来ている感をupさせてくれとてもよかったです。結構沖のほうまで行ってくれてびっくりしました！

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see much since I had the cheapest seat. However, the seat was close to the stage, and I could see everything. I enjoyed both the Hawaiian dance and the impersonations, and I felt like I got a great deal! Additionally, I was able to participate in photo opportunities after the show, so I had a wonderful time even at a low price.

1番安い席だから、あまり見えなかったらどぅしよう…と不安でした。しかし、席はステージから近く、全体を見渡せます。ハワイアンダンスもものまねも楽しめて、すごく得した気分！また、終了後の写真撮影にも参加でき、安い価格でも十分に楽しめました。

We have been to Hawaii a couple of times and have been to most if the luaus, but we think the Chiefs Luau has been the best one by far. The food and drinks were very good and the location is very beautiful. The Chief was very funny and the whole show was very entertaining- great hula dancers and exeptional fire dancers. If you are staying on Oahu, do yourselves a favour and go see the Chiefs Luau - you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I went on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. It far exceeded our expectations! The staff was not only knowledgeable but incredibly fun and friendly. We felt so much Aloha. We enjoyed it so much we are going back again next year and doing this again. We are bringing friends this time!

I participated on the last day in Hawaii. The Hilton is very large, so it was difficult to find the venue. The food was just okay, but the show was all in English, and I enjoyed it enough.

ハワイ最終日に参加しました。
ヒルトンは、とても広いので会場を探すのが大変でした。
お料理はまあまあといったところ、ショーはすべて
英語ですが、十分楽しめました。

I was looking for a hula dance show and found this one based on the great reviews.

I chose the VIP plan, which included a dinner course. We enjoyed a course meal at our table before watching the show. The shrimp and meat were both incredibly delicious and there was plenty of food. The staff was also very kind.

We were able to watch the show right from our seats in the front row. The hula dance was very cute and glamorous. The fire dance was also very impressive.

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also performances by Michael, Elvis Presley, and Celine Dion. There were many songs I recognized, and it was so much fun. Everyone clapped along and got really into it. I think it’s highly recommended for both women and men. Michael was really a look-alike, and he sang beautifully, which made it enjoyable.

I truly had a wonderful time. After the show, I was able to take photos with Michael, Celine Dion, and Elvis Presley. It felt like I met stars.

I definitely want to go again when I come back to Hawaii. I highly recommend it.

フラダンスのショーを、見たくて、色々と探していました。
こちらのクチコミがよく、参加させていただきました。

vipプランにしたので、ディナーコース付きでした。
テーブルでコース料理を食べてからショーを見ました。
エビもお肉もすごく美味しくて量もありました。スタッフの方も、すごく親切でした。

ショーも、そのままの席で観れたので、最前列です。
フラダンスは、とても可愛くて、華やかでした。
ファイヤーダンスも、すごく迫力がありました。

フラダンスだけでなく、マイケルや、プレスリー、セリーヌディオンが出てきました。知っている歌も多くて、すごく楽しかったです。
みんなで手拍子をしたり、盛り上がりました。
女性だけでなく、男性にもとてもおすすめだと思いました。
マイケルも、本当にそっくりで、歌も上手くて楽しかったです。

本当に素敵な時間を過ごせました。
ショーの後は、マイケルやセリーヌディオン、プレスリーと一緒に写真が撮れました。スターに会えた気分になれました。

また、ハワイに来たらぜひ行きたいです。
おすすめです。

It was our family's first catamaran ride in 15 years! No matter when you ride, you can enjoy the essence of Hawaii! The kids, who were small back then, fell asleep during the trip, but this time they are adults (laughs), so they thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise while sipping on Mai Tais! Honestly, it seemed like the kids would have enjoyed the atmosphere even more if they had gone with people who weren't family (laughs).

家族で15年ぶりのカタマランでした！いつ乗っても、ハワイらしさを楽しめます！
当時、小さかった子供たちは途中で寝てしまっていましたが、今回は成人してるので（笑）、しっかりマイタイを頂きながら、サンセットクルーズを堪能していました！
・・正直、子供たちには、家族じゃない人と乗った方が、尚、雰囲気を楽しめそうでしたが（笑）

It was the first activity out of four planned for our week. Everyone of us really enjoyed our day here at the PCC this was due to our tour guide mostly but all who were involved were also great. We had the best lunch at pounders and again the dinner was to die for. The breath of life show was an amazing experience. We definitely would recommend this to everyone we know. Aloha and Mahalo Nui loa.

We loved the cruise from the moment we boarded to the moment we stepped off! The crew and catamaran were top notch and professionals at having fun! We were celebrating with my son and daughter in law and eveverything was amazing and entertaining!

Great timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)

We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.

It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.

I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!

Thanks Jason for making our day a memorable one. The places we visited, the spots we stopped at and the information imparted by you was great.
The Polynesian Cultural Centre was worth this visit and more as we couldn't fit everything into 1/2 day. The students from the university were very grateful to their visitors but we were grateful to them for sharing their various cultures with us.
Dinner was great and the Breath of life show was superb.

Had a great time at the Royal Hawaiian luau this week. It was much more than simply hula dancing and a fire show. The performances were short acts telling the story of the Hawaiian culture and history through song and dance. I could feel the passion for Hawaii in the host of the evening as he was setting the scene for each act. Interestingly, he was one of the actors in the original Hawaii 5.0!

Before the show started, it was fun to learn and actually see the process of how Hawaiian people made the material for their clothing. It was actually made of out sticks!

Food was plentiful and tasty with lots of variety. Highly recommended experience. The setting was beautiful on the lawn with the beach and an amazing view of Diamond Head in the background. A very special evening!

The catamaran heading towards the sunset was very stable, and the hotel cluster in Waikiki was beautifully lit up. For just a moment, the fireworks from the sea were amazing!

夕日に向かって走るカタマラン号は揺れも余り無く、
ワイキキのホテル群がライトアップされてとても美しかったです。
ほんの一瞬ですが、海上からの花火は素晴らしい～

We did the sunset sail our last night in Oahu and had a blast! Cruising around the water in Hawaii with open bar, can't go wrong!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

My friends and I had a great time at the Waikiki Starlight Luau!
The location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. Once we arrived the check-in was fast and we had a friendly staff greeting us with a Hawaiian lei and a welcome drink, nothing better than start the night with a Mai Tai! The food was very delicious and I love the variety of the food, specially the salads. It's great that they have a station specially for the kids.
The show was wonderful, full of delightful performances. My favorite part was the fire knife dance and to learn more about the other Polynesian cultures like Tonga, New Zeland, Samoa and Tahiti.
I would for sure come back to the this luau!

Whatever your preferences are, you'll probably only have one chance in your life to see Elvis perform live on stage with a group of talented Polynesian dancers. Throw in a pretty great luau dinner and you can begin to see why this show is so popular. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the artists that were featured that night, but it is still really entertaining to see a group of people so devoted to their craft. I highly recommend this for couples staying in Waikiki.

My husband and I recently moved to Oahu, and my parents were coming to visit us for Thanksgiving....I wanted to find something different we could do so I thought a dinner cruise would be perfect and relaxing. The food was subpar, and they made it seem like it was going to be a huge spread. We did not get to see fireworks, when the weather seemed fine. And towards the end of the cruise, we were just hanging out in the same area for quite some time before we had to dock. I am usually not one to complain, or write reviews, but I suggest you ask specific questions if considering these particular cruises so you are not left disappointed. We felt as though it was a waste of our money, and we would have rather gone out for a nice dinner, and sat outside to watch the sunset.

The sunset view in Waikiki is amazing, but I had a memory of the dinner cruise food being... so for our first family trip to Hawaii, I chose only the sunset cruise and participated in this tour. It was a bit chilly as we were properly exposed to the wind, but I had a fun and pleasant time.

ワイキキに夕陽が落ちていく景色は最高なんだけど、ディナークルーズの食事は･･･という記憶があったので、初の家族ハワイ旅ではサンセットクルーズのみを選択して、このツアーに参加。まともに風を受けるので少し肌寒いですが、楽しく、気持ちよく過ごせました。　

I'm glad I choose to celebrate birth on the island 30 years ago with Star of Honolulu. Best birthday ever!!
