All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

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.

When I went to Hawaii before, I thought, "I definitely want to ride this next time!" and made a reservation from Japan.
We boarded during sunset, and the atmosphere was great. The spot for watching the fireworks was perfect, making it a wonderful memory!
There's an all-you-can-drink cocktail option, but there are no restrooms, so be careful not to drink too much. Also, it gets cold after the sun sets, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

以前ハワイに行ったときに、次は絶対に乗りたい！と思い日本から予約していきました◎
夕暮れに乗船し雰囲気もよく花火をみる場所もバッチリなのでいい思い出になりました！
カクテル飲み放題ですが、トイレがありませんので飲みすぎは禁物です。あと、日が落ちると寒いので薄手の上着を持参しておいた方がいいです。

During the first time, there were hardly any Japanese people, and the music was lively, which made it very enjoyable. However, this time it was more crowded and a laid-back cruise. I think this was good in its own way! However, the $20 for the photos taken before boarding is way too expensive.

１回目の時は日本人がほとんどおらず、音楽もノリの良い曲をかけてくれたのでとても楽しかったのですが、今回は人も多くマッタリしたクルーズでした。
これはこれで良かったと思います！
ただ、乗船前に撮った写真が20ドルって高すぎる。

Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!

For little kids would only do it once in a lifetime. Luau was really good though

Went with my wife and the boat was really nice and the crew was great. Got us is in perfect position to see the fireworks. The food they provided was terrible, barely edible Chinese food. Would have been better off not having food on the boat at all.

Since it's far from Waikiki, I thought it would be difficult for us to go on our own. We requested the deluxe course, and the food was very delicious. We had seats right in front of the show, which was truly moving. However, since it was far, the driver's driving was quite dynamic (laughs) and thrilling. It's a wonderful show that allows you to feel close to Hawaiian culture, so I recommend seeing it at least once if you have the chance. It was so much fun! Mahalo!

ワイキキからは遠いので、自分たちで行くのは困難だと思いました。
デラックスコースでお願いしたのですが、食事もとても美味しく、座席もショーを目の前で見ることができ、とても感動して帰って来ました。ただ、遠いもんでドライバーさんの運転がダイナミックで（笑）スリリングではありました。ハワイの文化を身近に感じてすばらしいショーですので、機会があれば1度は見ることをお勧めします。楽しかった～！マハロ！

All i can say is that me and my husband was thoroughly entertained. The food the service was second to none awesome show. I wouldn't hesitate to see it again.

The performances of Elvis Presley, Celine Dion, and Michael Jackson impersonators were impressive, especially Celine Dion's, who sang so well that it was hard to believe she was an impersonator. The Hawaiian dance was also great. The food was just okay.

本格的な舞台でエルビスプレスリー、セリーヌディオン、マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんの歌（セリーヌディオンのそっくりさんの歌はそっくりさんとは思えないほどうまかったですね）や踊り、そしてハワイアンの踊り、良かったですね。食事はまあまあかな。

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our server was very attentive, the food delicious and the entertainment was exceptional. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

I have been to Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first time participating in this tour. This time, I chose a tour that was not too strenuous since my elderly mother was accompanying me. I didn't think the food was very delicious, but the content of the show was very fulfilling.

ハワイには１０数回きていますが初めて参加しました。今回は高齢の母が同行していましたので
無理のないツアーを選びました。食事は余り美味しいとは思いませんでしたがショーの内容は
とても充実していました。

Really nice cruise, Great music and service. Relaxing, nice views of Honolulu.

A very nice romantic sail, buffet & fireworks display crew helped make it a memorable experience on our ruby wedding anniversary
Thank You
Viv & Steve mahalo

Had a wonderful time. We had the loberster and steak was excellent cook perfectly!

The sunset cruise on the Catamaran was the most wonderful one I've ever experienced! I've been on the Star of Honolulu, Navatek, and Alii Kai, and they were all great, but this time was special. From start to finish, it was open-air, allowing us to truly feel Hawaii. And the sunset was lovely. It was such a delightful time. I think this cruise will definitely become a regular for our family from now on.

Also, everyone is concerned about the restrooms, but there are facilities available. It's all good. I took some photos for reference. To enter, you open the lid and go down about five steps vertically. It might feel a bit daunting, but women were using it too.

サンセットクルーズは、スターオブホノルル号、ナバッテック号、アリイカイ号と乗っていまして、どれも素晴らしいサンセットクルーズでしたが、今回、初めて乗ったカタマラン号のサンセットクルーズが、今までで一番素晴らしい！
最初から最後までオープンエアで、ハワイを実感できます。
そして、素敵なサンセット。
なんとも素敵な時間でした。
次回からも、きっとこのクルーズが我が家の定番になりそうです。

それと、皆さん、トイレを気にしてますが、とりあえずあります。
大丈夫です。
写真を撮りましたので参考にしてください。
入り方は、ふたを開けて、垂直に階段を５段ぐらい降ります。
ちょっと抵抗があるかもしれませんが、女性も利用していました。

Since it was our honeymoon, we opted for a VIP dinner. We were first taken to the bar where we enjoyed cocktails, and then we moved to the dining area for dinner. The food was decent... The show felt like a fusion of a Polynesian show and impersonations. It seemed great for those who like Elvis Presley, Celine Dion, and Michael Jackson, but my husband didn't quite understand it and wished they would incorporate more from younger generations. I could barely recognize some of it, but it did feel a bit outdated if you didn't know.

ハネムーンという事で、VIPディナーにしました。初めにバーに通されてカクテル等を頂いた後、会場に移りディナーを頂きました。
お料理は、そこそこかな…。
ショーはポリネシアンショーとものまねの融合といった感じです。エルビスプレスリーやセリーヌディオン、マイケルジャクソンが好きな人や世代の方にはとても良さそうでしたが、主人はよく分からなかったようでもう少し若い世代の人のも取り入れて欲しいなと愚痴をこぼしておりました。確かに、かろうじて私は分かりましたが分からないと少し古いような感じもしました。

Hi, my friend was surprised, but it would be nice it your company would post picture of the greetings on your website.

This is a must do. So much fun and absolutely stunning views! Captain and co-captain were amazing!

We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
It was a very powerful and beautiful show.
The food was great, as we got to enjoy traditional Hawaiian cuisine.
I was unsure how to use the drink tickets, and unfortunately, we ended up leaving without using them, which was disappointing.

結婚記念日のお祝いで行きました。
とても迫力があり、そして美しいショーでした。
料理は伝統のハワイアンを食べられてとても良かったです。
飲み物のチケットの使い方がわからず、結局使わずに帰ってしまったのが残念でした。

The catamaran cruise offers various time slots, but this sunset cruise is the best. I experienced it for the first time last year and was very moved, so I participated again on the last day this year. I was the only Japanese person, but I had a great time surrounded by cheerful Americans. Unlike large ship cruises, the catamaran glides over the water, and the refreshing sea breeze is very pleasant. We were blessed with good weather and were able to see the best sunset. There is no food provided, but Mai Tais and soft drinks are all-you-can-drink. Considering the generally poor cost performance in Hawaii, I think the value of this event is excellent.

カタマランクルーズはいろんな時間帯がありますが、このサンセットクルーズは最高です。去年初めて経験してとても感動しましたので今年も最終日に参加しました。日本人は私一人でしたが陽気なアメリカ人に囲まれてとても楽しかったです。大型船のクルーズと違って水面を滑るように走るカタマランは気持ちの良い海風がとても爽快です。天気にも恵まれ最高のサンセットを見ることができました。食事などはありませんがマイタイやソフトドリンクは飲み放題です。何かとコストパフォーマンスの悪いハワイにあってこのイベントのコスパは最高だと思います。

We had a great time but did notice there were no fireworks and we booked the fireworks sail?

Crew was nice. Somewhat disorganized at the beach. I don't like when they take pictures to sell you.

As one of the events after the ceremony, we invited both families and boarded a boat. I love this catamaran option and always use it when I go to Hawaii. It was great to see that my mother-in-law and husband, who were riding for the first time, enjoyed it very much. We were able to go close to Diamond Head, take impressive photos, and we were blessed with good weather, allowing us to see a wonderful sunset. I would like to use this service again.

挙式後のイベントのひとつとして、両家を招待して乗船しました。
私はカタマランのこのオプションが大好きで、ハワイに行くと必ず利用しています。
はじめて乗った義母も旦那さんもとても楽しめた様で、良かったです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近いところまで回って、迫力ある写真も取れましたし、お天気にも恵まれ、素晴らしいサンセットを見ることが出来ました。また利用したいです。
