All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Group of people 69-86 years went out to do this and because a handful felt waters was not calm elected not to do this. I was notwith them but had done it in the past and found it to be enjoyable

This is a very nice cruise for the package you choose and the staff very friendly. My group of 21 had nothing but praise for the Crableg and steak package we chose. Water was calm and the cruise directors made you feel part of the activity by having everyone get involved.

Had a good experience at veltra cruise dinner on 2016 may 26.

I opted for the shuttle service. The guide on the bus provided explanations about life and scenery in Hawaii, making the bus ride enjoyable. The buffet food was delicious, and the show is definitely recommended! You'd be missing out if you don't see it! If you're going to watch it, it's best to choose the deluxe course for a good view.

送迎付にしました。
行きのバスの中でガイドさんが、ハワイの暮らしや景色の説明をしてくれるのでバスの時間も楽しかったです。
ブッフェ料理も美味しく、ショーは絶対おすすめです！これ見なきゃもったいない！！
せっかく見るなら、デラックスコースにして良い場所で見るのが良いです。

The show was wonderful and moving! Even people who are not interested in dance will be captivated, and the dancers were great at getting everyone excited. I was surprised that there was an announcement in Japanese as well.

Dinner was delicious.

On the way back, the bus schedule was too early, and I didn't have time to go to the restroom. During the break, the restrooms were crowded, and they said not to leave your seat during the performance. After it ended, we were told to gather at the bus stop right away, which made managing time difficult with the services available for meals and ice cream desserts.

This time, I only attended the night show, but I thought it would be more enjoyable to go in the afternoon.

ショーは素晴らしくて感動しました！ダンスに興味のない人でも、魅了されるし、ダンサーたちが、盛り上げ上手でした。アナウンスも日本語放送がありびっくりしました。
ディナーは、美味しかったです
帰りは、バスの時間早すぎてトイレに行く時間がありませんでした。
休憩中は、トイレが混み合うし、演技中は、席を立つなというし、終了したらすぐバス停に集まれというし、食事をとったり、アイスのデザートを食べたりというサービスがある中での時間の管理がなかなか難しかったです。
今回はナイトショーだけでしたが、昼からいった方が楽しいだろうな、と思いました。

The only thing that I would suggest is a variety of different music playing while on the cruise (more up to date selections). Other than that, it is a good time.

We had such a great time! The food was great and show was excellent! We would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Our greater was very good. There was a little confusion she held up two signs one for my grandson named young and one for us name Weiss, however, when we came off the plane she thought that she was still waiting for another person and then realized that all three were us. She even took the time to walk us to the escalator and show us where to go for baggage.

When we set sail, it was covered in thick clouds, and I thought we wouldn't be able to see the sunset, but just as the sun was setting, the clouds parted, and we were treated to a beautiful sunset that drew cheers from everyone! The view of Diamond Head from the sea was different from what you see from Waikiki Beach, and it was wonderful. We spent a full hour and a half on the water, so if you're worried about the cold, it's a good idea to bring a beach towel or something to wear. You can store your belongings in the back of the chairs. There was also a proper explanation of the restroom facilities, and I saw women using them. This time, the sun was setting behind the mountains, so next time, I want to see the sunset over the ocean!

出航したときは厚い雲で覆われていてサンセットは無理かと思っていたら、太陽が沈むところだけ雲が切れて綺麗なサンセットが見れて歓声があがっていました！海から見渡すダイヤモンドヘッドはワイキキビーチから見るのとはまた違う景色でよかったです。たっぷり１時間半は海の上なので、寒さが心配な方は、ビーチタオルや羽織るものを持っていったほうが良いです。イスの背の中に荷物をしまうことができます。ちゃんとトイレの説明もあり、実際に使用している女性もいました。今回は山に日が沈む時期だったので、次回は海に沈む夕日を見たいです！

Cruising on the deep blue sea with vibrant orange and yellow sails. Enjoying delicious cocktails and juices with the navy blue sea, white waves, and a pleasant breeze. The sway of the yacht was interesting and fun... I even got to see dolphins jumping... This cruise allowed me to feel the sea, waves, wind, and comfort much more than the previous large ship dinner cruise.

鮮やかなオレンジ色と黄色の帆を上げて濃紺の海をクルージング。紺色の海と白い波と心地よい風に美味しいカクテルとジュース。ヨットの揺れが面白くて楽しくて・・・。
イルカのジャンプも見られたし・・・。前回の大型船ディナークルーズより海も波も風も気持ちよさも肌で感じることができたクルージングでした。

The second sunset cruise on the Mai Tai Catamaran with the sunset illuminating Diamond Head is amazing. I want to take this cruise as many times as I can because it feels so good.

２回目のマイタイ・カタマラン号のサンセット夕日に染まるダイアモンドヘッドが最高です何度でもこのクルーズは気持ちいいから乗りたいです。

We had a great time on the sunset cruise! The kids really enjoyed sitting near the frontbofvthe boat getting splashed while we relaxed and enjoyed the view. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins as well! Would definitely recommend!

I signed up for the tour starting at 5:30. It was incredibly pleasant, and seeing Diamond Head from the ocean side was something I wouldn't have experienced without participating in the tour. It was a moving and dream-like time. If you're going to Hawaii, you absolutely should join this tour. I will definitely participate again next time!

5時半からのツアーに申し込みました。
凄く気持ち良くて、ダイアモンドヘッドを海側から見れることなんて、ツアーに参加しなければ、
なかったです。
感動と夢のような時間でした。
ハワイに行くなら絶対参加するべきです。
私もまた次回も必ず参加します！

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, so we didn't get to see the sunset. We made a reservation, but I think it would be fine to sign up on-site at the last minute after checking the weather.

残念ながら当日は曇り空で夕日に染まりませんでした。予約して行きましたがお天気を見て直前に現地で申し込んでもいいかと思います。

My daughter and I had a great time on the Friday night sunset cruise! Such a wonderful way to begin our time on Oahu! More than enough drinks and the music added to the fun!

We had an amazing time. Would recommend to anyone. Fun for all ages

Would highly recommend this trip, was my first night in Hawaii and what a way to start!! Cocktails are absolutely delicious and never ending!! The crew are just freaking awesome and everybody is there for a good time so it's just smiles and happy people all round! Would definitely do this again if I come back... Beautiful sunset while with my beautiful girl meeting awesome people! Thank you

The catamaran was so much fun! You linger in the Waikiki harbor and wait for the sun to go down. Norhing like a sunset with Diamondhead in the distance. The cocktails were very good and the crew funny .... all in all, it was a wonderful hour and a half on the ocean

Very unforgettable experience. The food is Good, server is nice.

I was so moved when I visited five years ago that I returned. The experience was completely different, and I was even more impressed. This time, I want to spend a whole day exploring the Polynesian Cultural Center.

5年前に訪れて感動したので再訪問しました。内容は全く変わっており、更に感動しました。今度はポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを1日かけて回ってみたいです。

I used it on the day I arrived. The weather was great, it was the best! I was a bit worried about the strong winds causing some rocking, but there were no problems at all, and it was a refreshing cruise. The Mai Tai was almost like juice, but it was delicious! I had a fun time taking pictures with the newlyweds sitting next to us. Being able to board right from the beach also saved time on transportation, which I really appreciated! I definitely want to participate again next time.

着いた日に利用しました。
お天気もよく、最高でした❗
ちょっと風が強かったので、揺れが心配でしたが、まったく問題なく、爽快なクルーズでした。
マイタイはほぼジュースでしたが、美味しかったです❗
隣り合わせた新婚さんのお二人と写真をとりあったりして、楽しい一時でした。
ビーチからすぐ乗れるのも、移動にかかる時間を節約でき、ありがたいです！次回もぜひ参加したいです。

Cruising under the sun and feeling the pleasant breeze was truly enjoyable. It was a rare experience to see Diamond Head from the ocean side. I think this tour is perfect for those who want to enjoy a casual cruise rather than a fancy dinner show, especially for those who love drinks. Being able to see the wonderful scenery for an hour and a half with unlimited drinks is a great value! However, the background music was quite loud, leaning towards rock (or maybe pop), which was a bit overwhelming. Since it's a tour aimed at tourists, I wish they would play Hawaiian music to enhance the atmosphere.

太陽の陽を浴びて、心地よい風に吹かれながらのクルーズ、本当に気持ち良かった
ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から見られる貴重な体験でした
大層なディナーショーではなくカジュアルにクルーズを楽しみたい方、お酒が好きな方にはピッタリのツアーだと思います
素晴らしい風景を１時間半も見られ、飲み放題はコストパフォーマンス高いと思います！
スタッフの好みなのか、ＢＧＭがロック（というかポップというか）がガンガンだったので少々うるさく、
観光客向けのツアーなのだから、折角ならハワイアンを流して雰囲気出して欲しいです～

Not wanting to go to another Polynesian show or luau, I decided to go to the Blue Note and it was a fantastic choice! My friend and I actually ended up going TWICE while we were there :D With an ever rotating line up of entertainers, no matter when you go, you are going to have an awesome time ^_^ The first night we went, we saw Don Tiki, this Jazz group with a great Tiki vibe, and Joe Robinson, a great guitarist, our second night. Drinks are really tasty and service was attentive, but not pushy.

I have been to the Blue Note in NYC, and this one in Hawaii definitely gives it a run for their money. If you want to have a chill evening with some great music, this is your spot. Take a break from the hula girls (yes, even though I am ONE :-P) and have an elegant night in Waikiki instead!

You will have your own privacy during the tour. The Captain and Bartendie was nice. I like their signature cocktail. STRONG!!!

What a great night. From start to finish. Would recommend this cruise to everyone

I went again. The captain is as wonderful as ever! It's a really pleasant cruise with a comfortable breeze. There are hardly any Japanese people here. I'm fully enjoying the feeling of being in America.

また行っちゃいました。キャプテンも相変わらず素敵！
心地良い風で本当に気持ちの良いクルーズです。日本人はほとんどいません。
アメリカにいるって感じ満喫ですよ。

Since my companion was visiting Hawaii for the first time, I went to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time in 10 years.

The quality of the shows and the deliciousness of the food have significantly (!) improved since my last visit, and we had a wonderful day.

The Japanese student guides were truly kind, making it a heartwarming trip. Thank you very much.

同伴者が初めてのハワイだったので、
１０年ぶりにポリネシアンセンターに行きました。

前回よりも、ショーのクオリティやごはんのおいしさが
格段に（！）増していて、一日楽しく過ごせました。

案内役の日本人留学生の方が、本当にみなさん親切で、
心あたたかくなる旅となりました。ありがとうございました。

First time on this cruise and it was awesome. The crew members were friendly and they made it a point to reach out to everyone. The drinks were fantastic and the view was spectacular. Would definitely recommend it.

The sailing was pretty, the views were gorgeous during sunset, and the boat was nice enough. The crew was great. But I don't think it was worth the almost $200 we paid to go as a couple. The drinks were fairly weak, and of course they talk you into buying the $8 souvenir cup under the pretense that you'll get a bigger drink for the same price as the small cups... but they just use more mixer and ice and the same amount of liquor. We expected that and weren't expecting much of the food either since most touristy things like this aren't the best in either department. I'm mostly bummed out that this was advertised as a lantern ceremony sail which is the only reason we booked it. We've wanted to see the ceremony for the past 4 years but didn't want to deal with the huge crowds on shore. I understand that with the surf, you can't get too close, but we hadn't realized just how far away we'd be. It was just distance lights far away against the shore that blended in with he city lights and traffic. I had my extreme zoom telephoto lens and even I could barely tell when the lanterns hit the water. People opted to pull up the live streaming of the ceremony on their phones, which honestly was kind of a cool mixture to be out there live on the water and get a closer view digitally, but not worth $200 for the experience. Overall kind of disappointed, but still a cool way to see a different view of the island. Just not the lantern experience we had expected.

What a fun sail with flowing MaiTai's and beautiful views of Waikiki Beach! The vantage point was incredible to see the Hilton's fireworks show, and the cruise was not overcrowded. The only caveat - they tell you for sure to wear something that can get wet and they are not kidding. Getting on seemed fairly easy, but getting off, the tide seemed to be a little more surly and we got a little wetter (over our knees for sure). Luckily, we were only walking back to our hotel. Overall, a great end to our first wonderful day in Hawaii!
