All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The luau experience was fantastic. I would definitely recommend everyone that visits Oahu to go to this luau instead of any of the others. It's a little bit out of the way if your staying in the main city but if you're from the mainland a 1 hour drive is nothing. The luau teaches you about the history of the islands and how it became what itime is today. They have shows and activities for each of the stages that they present. I would advise to go as soon as they open to be able to do all the shows and activities. the buffet was okay, but what can you really expect from a buffet. "Ha!, breath of life" show after the dinner buffet is what made this luau worth the money. It's an unforgettable experience that everyone that visits should go to.

This was my first time participating. There were hardly any Japanese people, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but thanks to the cheerful captain and staff, I had a really enjoyable time. The weather was great that day, and I felt fantastic while watching the beautiful sunset. It's an activity that makes me want to participate again!

初めての参加です
日本人はほとんど居らず日本語も通じませんが陽気なキャプテンとスタッフさんのおかげで大変楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました
当日はお天気にも恵まれ綺麗な夕日を見ながら最高の気分になりました
また参加したいと思えるアクティビティですね！

My husband and I booked this cruise during our stay in Hawaii in December. I wasn't sure what to expect. The crew were very polite and very accommodating! The ride was relatively calm and very enjoyable. The fireworks were spectacular! I would recommend for anyone who has the opportunity to do this cruise to take advantage of it!

How wonderful sailing around Waikiki. Staff were so welcoming, I highly recommend this activity

This dinner cruise was excellent. I recommend doing this for everyone. I would definetly do it again.

It was a great time. It got extremely hot. After we asked the waiter to open one of the windows he opened ours which helped a lot other then everyone came to our window to take pictures because it was the only window ope. Food was amazing tho and the service was awesome. I just think they should keep all the windows open. I would recommend this dinner to everyone

This was so much fun! Although we couldn't see the sunset because of the distant clouds, the sky above was clear, and we enjoyed a lively atmosphere on the boat, delicious Mai Tais, quite a bit of speed, and thrilling near misses with other boats! It was a very satisfying 90 minutes. The departure from Waikiki Beach made it easily accessible. Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is definitely not to be missed! Thank you very much.

これ、とっても楽しかったです！遠くの雲にじゃまされてサンセットこそ見れませんでしたが頭上は晴天で、賑やかな船上・おいしいマイタイ・けっこうなスピード・他の船とのスリリングなニアミス！と、大満足の９０分でした。ワイキキビーチから出航なのでアクセスも良かった。海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドはやっぱり見逃せませんね～　ありがとうございました。

I had a very enjoyable day. The bus guide, who claimed to be from Yoshimoto, kept the atmosphere lively with laughter throughout the ride. The guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was also a very cheerful and kind young man. He efficiently guided us to the showtimes, allowing us to explore the vast grounds with satisfaction. For dinner, we enjoyed a Hawaiian show while wearing beautiful flower leis.

The highlight was definitely the evening show. We had front-row seats! The two main performers were stunningly attractive. You could feel the intensity of the actors' sweat and breathing, making it very powerful. The fire show was particularly impressive; it felt like they were putting their lives on the line.

After the performance, the actors came over to shake hands, which was truly moving. After that, we returned to the bus with plenty of time to spare before departure. However, it seemed like the return bus was going quite fast, as I don't think anyone was sleeping.

とても楽しい1日でした。
バスのガイドさんは、自称吉本の⚪️⚪️さんというだけあって笑いの絶えない車内でした。
ボリネシア文化センターのガイドの方もとても明るく親切な青年でした。的確にショーの時間に案内してくれて効率よく広大な園内を回れて満足しました。ディナーは、生花の素敵なレイをかけていただきハワイアンショーを見ながら楽しめました。
特に圧巻は、夜のショー。なんと席は最前列。主役の2人は、美男美女。役者さんの汗や息づかいまで感じられて迫力満点。特に火のショーは、もうそこまでしなくてもと思うほど命張ってました。
そして、なんと終演後役者さんの方から握手してきてくれて感動物でした。それからバスに戻っても時間的には余裕で出発でした。しかし、帰りのバスは、かなりスピードが出てるようで眠ってる人は、いなかったように思いました。

I spent a blissful time blessed with good weather, wind, and waves. The view of Waikiki from the sea, along with Diamond Head, revealed a different side of Waikiki. The sunset was also very beautiful, and I had a dreamlike experience. I highly recommend it.

天気と風と波に恵まれた至福のの時間を過ごしました。海からみるワイキキの風景、ダイヤモンドヘッド、そこにはいつもと違うワイキキがありました。サンセットもとても美しく、夢のような時間を送りました。ぜひ、おすすめします。

I made a reservation as a representative and will summarize the information I gathered.

There were three elderly participants. The pickup was at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, but Core Street was crowded with various buses and people for tours, creating a noisy environment. While it may not be a significant issue for younger generations, it can be difficult for the elderly to hear, so caution is needed. (I assisted with the send-off.)

We boarded the bus on time, but got caught in evening traffic, which made the meal time rushed, and it seems there was no time to see the center before the show.

The show was absolutely wonderful, and the three of us were thrilled with the deluxe seating. It seems there was dessert service during the break in the show, allowing us to enjoy the feeling of superiority that comes with the deluxe experience.

Since I made the reservation for the arrival day, we opted for twilight, but they expressed a desire to learn and see more about Hawaii's history, so they seemed a bit regretful. In hindsight, I should have made a reservation for an all-day experience on a different day.

代表者として予約し、聞いた内容を記載します。

高齢者3名での参加でした。
ハイアットリージェンシーホテルにてピックアップでしたが、
コア通りはツアー迎えの様々なバスと人でごった返し、ザワザワとした状況です。
若い世代が一緒であればさほど問題はありませんが、高齢者にとっては聞き取りづらい環境なので注意が必要です。（見送りまで手伝いました）

時間通りに乗り込んだバスでしたが、夕方の渋滞にハマりこんだため、
食事の時間も慌ただしく、センターの様子を見る間もなくショーになったようです。

ショーはとても素晴らしく、席もデラックスにした甲斐合って３名とも感激しておりました。
ショー途中の休憩時にデザートのサービスが有った様で、デラックスの優越感を味わっていました。

到着日に予約しましたのでトワイライトにしましたが、
ハワイの歴史を知ったり見たりしたかったとのことで、名残惜しそうでした。
反省点として、別の日にオールデイで予約すべきでした。

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews, but it was an absolutely amazing location and a fun time! I had been on a large boat before, but this cruiser vibe unique to Hawaii was just the best.

口コミが少なくて不安でしたが 全然最高のロケーションかつ楽しいひとときでした‼️
大きい船は前に乗りましたが 自分はハワイならではのこのクルーザー雰囲気といい 最高でした

I watched this show when it first opened with another friend, and it seemed that some of the cast had changed, but I still enjoyed it. The friends I traveled with this time were visiting Hawaii for the first time and said they were happy and had a great time.

このショーが オープニングしたばかりの時にも 別の友人と見ましたが
出演者？も 多少入れ替わったようでしたが 変わらず楽しめました。
今回 同行した友人達は ハワイ初めてで 喜んで 楽しかったと言っていました。

Good food, had all you can eat crab leg and steak. Great music and entertainment. Perfect sunset and view of the city. Well worth money. I would do it again

We had an excellent time here. We were picked up via motorcoach in Waikiki at 10:20 am. Our bus driver was hilarious and kept us entertained the hour we were on the bus. Beautiful drive there. We arrived at the center at 1145 and the center opened at 12. I would highly recommend a tour guide! There was SO much to do and see and I feel we didn't get to see even 1/2 of it all due to the center being so big and the small events starting at different times. The Ohana Hawaiian luau dinner was delicious! Pig, pulled pork, teriyaki chicken breasts, fresh fruit, poke, salads, fish, desserts, and so much more! The show during dinner was great as well. Ha, the breath of life is worth every penny! We got back to Waikiki around 11pm. It was a very full but very fun day!

After looking at other reviews and some deliberation, I decided to go with this tour, and I was extremely satisfied!!

Since the entire tour is in English, it might be tough for those who only speak Japanese. We participated because we were abroad and wanted to experience it. There’s a lot of fun that can be conveyed through the atmosphere, so if you’re okay with not understanding every detail, it’s totally fine!

The bus guide was very good at keeping the energy up, and even when I couldn’t catch everything, I understood the vibe.

Once we arrived, there was a brief explanation of the food and drinks, and then we headed to the venue. The venue was outdoors, and it got a bit chilly as the sun went down, so I was glad I brought a light jacket.

There were optional activities and craft corners in Hawaii, and after a little while, the main event started! There was a whole pig roast performance, but I couldn’t get close enough to see it well. The buffet-style food included Hawaiian dishes and cakes, and it was delicious.

The show featured various performances, including hula and fire dancing, so it was never boring. There were also performances that involved bringing audience members on stage, which made it even more exciting. By the way, we were on our honeymoon, and there was a wonderful surprise during the stage performance that truly made us happy. If you’re on your honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary, I highly recommend it!

Overall, I was very satisfied, so I gave it five stars, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this is only for those who are okay with the entire tour being in English.

他の口コミも見つつ、悩んだ末にこのツアーにしましたが、大満足でした！！

基本的に全編英語の為、日本語じゃないと…という方には辛いかもしれません。私たちは折角海外なので…と参加しました。雰囲気で伝わってくる楽しさもありますし、細部まで分からなくても大丈夫という方なら全然ok！

バスガイドさんの盛り上げ方もとても上手で、聞き取れない時も雰囲気で分かりました。

着いたら簡単なご飯とドリンクの説明があり、会場へ。会場は屋外で、日が暮れると少し肌寒く羽織りを持っていて正解でした。

自由参加のハワイの遊びやクラフトコーナーがあり、少ししてから本編スタート！豚の丸焼きパフォーマンスがありましたが、前の方に行けずあまり見えませんでした。
バイキング形式のご飯ではハワイならではの料理やケーキもあり、美味しかったです。

ショーはフラからファイヤーダンス等色々で、飽きません。観客を舞台に上げてのパフォーマンスもあり、さらに盛り上がりました。
ちなみに私たちはハネムーンでしたが、このステージパフォーマンスで素敵なサプライズがあり、本当に嬉しかったです。ハネムーン、記念日の方は是非！

全体を通して、とても大満足でしたので星5つにしましたが、初めに書いた通り、前提として全編英語でも問題無い方に限ります。

I went with three people, and when my two friends stepped away, the people around me kindly spoke to me. Everyone was considerate of me being alone, and it turned into a fun dining experience. The stage was amazing! The food and drinks were excellent! It was a bit pricey, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

私は3人で行ったのですが、友達2人が席を外した時に周りの外人さんが私に優しい声かけをしてくれました^_−☆
みんな1人になった私を気遣い楽しい会食になりました
ステージも最高！食事も飲み物も最高！少し高いですが十分に楽しめました

By far one of the better things done while in Oahu!

Wow what a great show. Luau and ledgends so much fun! I highly recomend for the whole family.

Hubby and I came to Hawaii for our 30th anniversary. Perfect way to spend our Friday night. Views were awesome as was the crew. Enjoyed the food as well.

We had an amazing time. First time doing this. Crew was amazing. I would recommend to everyone.

We had a great time at the cultural center and love all the upgrades they have done. Our last visit was 6 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the most amazing host ever had just returned 6 months ago, we all remembered her from our first visit. I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong). The show was amazing as well... I definitely recommend the full guided tour for a full day of fun rain or shine.

The time spent on the boat was too long. In the second half, it seemed like everyone—foreigners, Japanese, and Koreans—was struggling. Since we had been drinking a lot, there were no restrooms on the boat when we needed to go. When we returned to the sandy beach, everyone dashed back.

船に乗っている時間が長すぎです。
後半は外国人？日本人？韓国人？みんな辛そうでした。
何杯も飲んでいるのでトイレに行きたくなっても船にはありません。
砂浜に帰ってき時は、全員猛ダッシュでした。

Waikiki Beach, hotel pickup departure, next stop Hanauma Bay "The view of the bay from above is amazing!" Then to Moanalua Gardens "It was a breathtaking experience in nature, famous for the tree from the song 'What Tree is This?'" We visited Waimanalo Shopping Center and Dole Plantation "The pineapple soft serve was delicious." We went in the order of Haleiwa and arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM "It was a fantastic bus drive around half of Oahu Island, enjoying the stunning views for about three hours, the best way to learn about Oahu!"

After arriving, we had lunch, and there were various cultural experiences available in the park, all fresh and enjoyable. Canoe show "We watched many Hawaiian dances." Dinner "Steak, fruits, and dessert were delicious." The night show, “‘Ha’ Breath of Life,” which boasts the largest scale in Hawaii, featured over 100 staff performing passionately for nearly two hours. It showcased the growth of a life born on the island into a fine young man who would govern the island and protect its people, presented through songs and dances! The fire dance show in the second half was a powerful light show that you absolutely cannot see anywhere else. It was the best!

Spending time in the park until 9:30 PM, I felt like I truly experienced Hawaii and became one with the locals! It was a fulfilling tour. Thank you to all the cast members; I was moved to tears and deeply grateful.

Since I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide during the bus drive, even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy the show smoothly and with even more intensity. Thank you to our wonderful guide; I will come back again!

ワイキキビ-チ、ホテルお迎え出発、次がハナウマ湾「上空から見る湾の景色最高！」、モアナルアガ-デン「この木なんの木♪でおなじみの大自然を満喫圧巻でした」ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ド-ルプランテ-ション「パイナップルソフトが美味しかったです」ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターに到着「約３時間からの絶景を見ながらのオハフ島約半周,ワイキキの反対側までバスドライブでしたオアフ島を知るには最高です！」
到着後は、ランチ、園内では様々な民族の体験ができどれもが新鮮で楽しむことができました。カヌーショー「沢山のハワイの踊りを観覧」 デイナー「ステーキ,果物,デザート,美味しかったです」ハワイ最大規模を誇る“‘ハァ’ブレス・オブ・ライフ”ナイトショー「100人以上のスタッフが２時間近くに渡り熱演、島で生れた一つの命が格闘の渦中立派な青年へと成長、軈て島を治め島民を守って行く姿を舞台で、歌や踊りで披露！特に後半のファイヤーダンスショーは他では絶対に見られない迫力のライトショー」最高でした！。
夜9時半まで園内で過ごした自分は、これこそ誇れるハワイなり！と島民に成りきった思いでの大満喫出来たツアーでした♡キャストの皆さん有難う、涙と感激有難う御座いました♡。
夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でバスドライブ中ストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずともスムーズに一層迫力を受け楽しむことができました。素敵なガイドさん有難う、又お邪魔しまーす♡。

Amazing views, staff was very fun and friendly and the drinks were delicious. Best value sunset cruise in Waikiki

He had been to Oahu three times before and never got a lei. You should've seen his eyes light up when he saw his name in big letters being held up by the nice person ! Success! Thank you !

We went on the Friday night fireworks cruise. It was great! Then we were told unlimited booze. What a great surprise! Great crew and great music all made for a fun time. Oh, the fireworks were good too!

Had a great time! Really fun people and a really funny and exciting show. Had a great time and delicious food and so many exciting activities and souvenirs. Everyone there is pleasant and it's worth the deals they have online!!

I have been to a number of Luau's on Oahu and this one is by far the best, mostly due to the brilliant 'Chief' who will keep you laughing throughout the evening. The food is excellent, the Hawaiian dancing is magical, the fire dance is spectacular, the whole evening is just total enjoyment from beginning to end. A show not to be missed.

This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.

I joined this by my self.
The clue were really sweet and nice. And of corse the sunset was really gorgeous !
I like the dress cord was barefoot:)
It was my favorite experience in Honolulu.
