All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Went here after our wedding. It was very organized for the amount of people attending yummy buffet before show which was a top notch with all of the performers! Thank you for a wonderful time!

This time, I chose the buffet plan. It was great to enjoy interacting with other guests while watching the show outside. The show was full of enthusiasm, and I received a gift from one of the performers. I would love to participate again.

今回はバイキングのプランを選択しました。店外でフラショーを見ながら、他のお客さんと交流して楽しめたところも良かったです。
ショーはサービス精神旺盛で、出演者の方からプレゼントを頂きました。また、参加したいです

We had a lot of fun on this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The service was excellent. We went on the fireworks cruise which was very nice. The crab legs were very good. The food was good, but could have been warmer. It may be hard on such a big boat. The only other thing that could have done better is we took the transportation from hotel to the boat and when we got there and started walking the girl leading us never talked to us just talked to another person and we just tried to keep up her so we knew where to go. When we got to boat we followed her on and went on wrong way and were corrected and told to go on another way. We were just following her on. She never turned around and said go on this way or have a good time. It was a little odd. Other than that it was a good time.

I attended with my mother. My mother, who is in her 50s, was very pleased with the content of the show. It was heartwarming to see the hula dancer providing services like holding and taking pictures with guests who had small children during the waiting time.

母と二人で参加しました。
50代母がショーの内容に非常に喜んでいました。
待ち時間にフラのお姉さん？が、小さな子連れのお客さんに抱っこや写真のサービスをしていたのが見ていて微笑ましかったです。

I love dinner cruises and have been on quite a few over the years, so I knew I had to go during this visit to Hawaii. We chose the One Star since we love crab and love AYCE crab even more!

Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep our plates full of crab, our glasses filled with drinks and would let us know when the sunset would be.

The show was fun, and the musicians are top notch! Although the weather did not cooperate, I will definitely go back again!

I attended the Three Star Lobster and Steak Dinner Cruise and I must say I was amazed at the customer service provided. Being on board with 1,000 passengers, the waiters and staffs did an amazing job with serving each guest on time. Our waitress was a doll, I believe Larissa is her name. The view of the sunset, and Diamond Head was breath taking. This tour is a must if you want to experience Paradise away from the city.

Be careful when selecting which type of meal you like because family members don't get to sit together if you eat something different. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time!

十分楽しかった。元々食事を期待しての参加では無く、ロブスターやヒレ肉は当然無しのバフェでしたが十分食事を楽しめた。５人家族、子供達も全員成人の構成です。
スタッフは一生懸命楽しませてくれたし、男性歌手はまずまずのエンタテイナーです。
たまたまですが、雲の全くない日で海に落ちる夕日は最高。狙ったとおり金曜の晩のヒルトンの花火も盛り上がりました。
毎年訪れるハワイでの１０年ぶりのサンセットディナークルーズでしたが、なかなかバカにしたものではありません。おすすめします。

Excellent experience worth every bit unlimited drinks very friendly and happy crew and the sunset was beautiful a must do

My wife and I took the Maitai Sunset Sail for our wedding anniversary. Our crew, Ian and Lindsey, made the sail fun and Lindsey made sure that our hands never went without a glass. Water was beautifully calm, view from the waterfront was spectacular, and the fireworks just topped it off. I highly recommend this outing to anyone.

We had a lovely time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was execelent. The host & entertainment made for a fun evening.

My husband and I really enjoyed this cruise. The food was excellent and the sunset was beautiful. I just wish it could have been longer.

I have used this service several times before, but this time I enjoyed it with a total of 11 friends from the yacht club. The men were happily watching as a cute woman set the mainsail and jib. Of course, we savored the beautiful scenery of the sunset cruising off Waikiki, the gentle waves, and the swaying sails catching the wind. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us yacht lovers to enjoy the waters of Hawaii. I was truly delighted to have introduced and arranged this cruise, allowing everyone to share in the excitement together.

今までも何度か利用させていただいてますが、今回はヨットクラブの仲間総勢１１名で楽しませていただきました。メインもジブも、キュートな女性がセットする様子を男性陣はニコニコと楽しんでいました。もちろん、ワイキキ沖のサンセットクルージングの風景や風、ここちよい波の揺れと風を受ける帆のゆらぎ、ヨット好きの面子にはたまらないハワイの海を堪能しました。ご紹介して手配して、皆さまをご一緒にクルーズに乗っていただいて感動を共有できましたこと、本当にうれしく思いました。

It was a sunset that gave me a satisfaction level of 120%, as if to say, "Such a beautiful place exists on Earth." The captain was handsome, haha. Beyond where the captain was pointing, were those whales? Dolphins? I couldn't understand the English, so I wasn't sure, but about two appeared! A few times.

There was no Japanese at all, so I didn't understand any explanations, but that was totally fine, haha. Just a point to note: the cruise ship doesn't have a restroom, so make sure to take care of that beforehand, and you might get wet up to your knees when boarding, so wearing clothes that can get wet and flip-flops is recommended. On the way back, I gave a tip to the captain and the woman who made drinks for us.

Also, before boarding the ship, they take a photo of you, but after it's done, they hand you the finished photo as if it's a complimentary service, but of course, it's not free, haha. It's $20, which is quite expensive, haha. But it made for some really great memories!! I had a lot of fun (^ - ^)

こんな綺麗な場所が地球上にあるんだ。。と言うくらいの満足度120%のサンセットでした。。
キャプテンがイケメンでしたw
そのキャプテンが指差す向こうには、あれはくじら？イルカ？英語が聞き取れなかったのでわからなかったですが、2匹くらい出現しました！何回か。
日本語は一切ないので、説明も一切分かりませんでしたが、全然大丈夫でしたww
ただ注意する点は、クルーズ船にはトイレがないので直前に済ませておくことと、乗り込む時に膝下まで濡れるので濡れていい服、ビーサンなどがオススメです。帰りにはキャプテンとお酒を作ってくれる女性にチップを渡しました。
それと、船に乗り込む前に写真を撮ってくれるのですが、終わった後出来上がった写真をあたかもサービスのようにして渡してきますが、もちろんタダではありませんw
$20で激高ですwww
でも、とてもいい思い出作りになりました！！
楽しかったです(^-^)

I was able to see it from a pretty good seat nearby. It was full of excitement and I really enjoyed it. The food was also satisfactory, and I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

結構近くの良い席で見れました。迫力満点で楽しめました。
料理もまぁ満足できる内容で、一度は体験してみてもいいのではないかと思います。

The dance show was absolutely wonderful. Before the show, we had a buffet meal at a large dining hall and did some shopping at the stores in the park. After buying some Hawaiian-themed children's clothing, we headed to the show venue. Our seats were in the back, but we could see everything well and were impressed by the elaborate performances and the fire dancing. However, finding the car on the way back was difficult because the location was different from the initial explanation, and we couldn't find it in the light rain. We had to communicate the number to other drivers to get help.

ダンスショーはとても素晴らしかったです。ショーの前に大きな食堂でバイキング料理を食べて
パーク内のお店でショッピングをしました。ハワイらしい子ども服を買ってからショーの場所に行きました。席は後方でしたが、全体が良く見えて凝った演出や火の踊りに感激しました。
ただ、帰りの車は最初の説明と場所が異なり小雨の中見つからず大変でした。他のドライバーに番号を伝えて教えてもらいました。

Great accommodating Staff! Great food and beverages! We look forward to doing Makani again during our next visit to Hawaii. I Highly recommend this package and experience! Thanks Guys!!!

The scene of the sunset is marvelous! The beauty is beyond words and I can never get bored looking at the pictures taken during the cruise. It's an unforgettable Hawaii-only experience that I'll strongly recommend to all friends who will visit Oahu Island.

It's been decades since I last participated. Last time I went with the standard option, but this time I chose the deluxe package, and I had a wonderful tour with a very beautiful student as my guide. The chief of Samoa was as entertaining as ever. The food wasn't anything special, but the show was even more interesting since I participated in the backstage tour beforehand.

数十年ぶりの参加です。前回はスタンダードだったので今回はデラックスにしましたが、とっても綺麗な学生さんがツアーガイドについてくださり、とても楽しいツアーでした。サモアの酋長さんも相変わらず面白い。食事はたいしたことないですが、ショウはバックステージツアーに参加してから観たのでよけいに面白かったです。

I applied with my father, mother, younger sister, and myself!
My sister and I are on our third overseas trip, while it's my parents' first.
Last time we came to Oahu, we wanted to try this, but when we attempted to make a reservation on-site, it was already fully booked, so we decided to carry it over to this time. I recommend making a reservation in Japan.
We were the only Japanese participants, but the crew was very kind and communicated with us in broken Japanese.
During the cruise, cocktails and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there was atmospheric music, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike! There were also portable toilets, which was reassuring.
Of course, the sunset was absolutely satisfying! Although it was a bit cloudy that day, we were still able to have a wonderful time feeling the Hawaiian breeze.
As the sun began to set, it got a little chilly, so it's good to have a windbreaker or hoodie during this season.
I plan to visit again with friends in May, and I would like to participate again then!

父と母、妹と私の4人で申し込みました‼
妹と私は3度目、父と母は初めての海外旅行でした。
前回、オアフに来たときに乗ってみたい!!と現地で予約を試みたのですが、すでに予約がいっぱいで今回に持ち越すことになりました。日本で予約するのがオススメです。
日本人の参加者は私たちだけでしたが、クルーがとっても親切でカタコトの日本語で対応をしてくれました。
Cruise中はカクテルやソフトドリンクは飲み放題、雰囲気のあるmusicも流れていて家族でもカップルでも友達同士でも楽しめそうです♪簡易トイレもついているので安心です。
もちろんsunsetも大満足!!!!この日は少し曇っていましたが、それでもハワイの風を感じながら最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
日が暮れ始めると肌寒くなってくるので、この時期は風よけのパーカーなどがあるといいですね。
5月にまた友人と訪れる予定ですが、そのときにもまた参加したいと思います‼

This was my second time participating. I had a great time for a full two hours. However, when boarding the boat, there was a system where photos were taken by group, and then shown to us when we disembarked, which was a bit confusing. It costs $20. I didn't buy one, but I felt bad about declining. There are probably people who want the photos, so I think it would be better to only take pictures for those who request them. The staff is friendly.

今回で２回目の参加でした。たっぷり二時間楽しめました。
ただ、船に乗り込むとき、グループごとに写真を撮り、下船したとき見せられるシステムになっていて､戸惑いました。２０ドルです。私は買いませんでしたが、ことわるのが悪いような気がしました。写真がほしい方もいるでしょうから、リクエストある方だけ撮るようにしたほうが良いとおもいます。　スタッフはフレンドリーです。

On the night of our wedding in Hawaii, we went with both families! When making the reservation, I was torn between the buffet and the VIP dinner, but since it was both our wedding day and my birthday, I decided to go for the VIP dinner. The food was delicious, featuring lobster, steak, and salmon, all beautifully presented.

During the show, an Elvis impersonator came down from the stage to hug us and even gave us leis. My mother, who is from the Elvis generation, was thrilled with the lei and the hug! He also visited the second-floor seats. The performances by Elvis, Gaga, and Michael, along with the hula show, were all so much fun!

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos with Elvis, Gaga, and Michael! I even got a signature on a photo I had purchased in advance. When I told Elvis that it was my birthday and wedding day, he congratulated me and gifted me the scarf he was wearing around his neck! Even though he was an impersonator, I felt like I had met the real deal, and it was so exciting (laughs).

It seemed like my family enjoyed it too, and it turned out to be a wonderful night! I would love to see other impersonators next time!

ハワイ挙式当日の夜に、両家家族みんなで行きました！
予約する時に、ビュッフェとVIPディナーと迷ったのですが、挙式当日＆自分の誕生日というのもあって、せっかくならと思い、VIPディナーにしました。
お料理はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなど、どれもおいしく、見た目も楽しめました。
ショーでは、プレスリー（のそっくりさん）がステージから降りてきてハグしてくれたり、レイをプレゼントしてくれたりします。
プレスリー世代の母は、レイのプレゼント＆ハグに興奮してました！
2階席にも行ってくれてました。
プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのステージ、フラショー、全部楽しかったです！
ショー終了後は、プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルと記念写真が撮れます！
私は事前に購入した写真にサインもして頂きました。
プレスリーに今日誕生日＆結婚式だったと伝えると、おめでとうと首にかけていたスカーフをプレゼントしてくれました！
そっくりさんなのに、本物に会ったかのようにテンションあがってしまいました（笑）
家族も楽しんでくれたようで、とってもステキな夜になりました！
今度は他のそっくりさんも観てみたいです！

The story from our Japanese guide, Maki, was so enjoyable that we couldn't stop laughing during the half-day tour. The Polynesian show in the second half was far more impressive than we had anticipated, and it moved me to tears. I highly recommend this tour. I hope to see Maki again!

日本人の名物ガイド・マキさんのお話が楽しくて楽しくて…笑いっぱなしの半日観光でした。後半のポリネシアンショーは予想していたより遥かに見ごたえがあり、感動して涙してしまいました。お勧めのツアーです。またマキさんに会えたらいいね！

Great staff and chill crowd, fantastic views of Waikiki's skyline, even saw a whale! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu!

We watched the sunset with my grandchild and two daughters, just the four of us. We were the only Japanese people there, and everyone spoke only English, but the atmosphere was great. Usually, we go on a dinner cruise, but this was a friendly and cheerful sunset cruising experience!

孫と娘2人、4人でサンセットを眺めました、日本人は私ども4人だけで、オンリーイングリッシュですがふんいきで内容はOKです、いつもはディナーショーつきの客船ですが、フレンドリーな和気あいあいのサンセットクルージングですよ〜！

Well needless to say this was a great experience, however id like to take the time to brag personally on our girl...she not only waited for our flight to come in which was over 45 min late coming in. ..but she was soooo sweet and just very helpful in getting us to our shuttle...just a great experience all around!

You can enjoy shows and cultural experiences on the vast grounds. The fire dance at night is worth seeing. The guide is enthusiastic and leaves a good impression. The buffet food is just okay.

広大な敷地内でショーや文化体験ができる。
夜のファイヤーダンスは一見の価値あり。
ガイドが熱心で好印象。
ビュッフェのご飯はいまいち。

I participated in a tour that included meals. The food was a buffet with plenty of options like salads, fruits, and desserts—everything was delicious. However, the taste of the dishes was local cuisine? I didn't think it was that great (laughs). It's worth going, so I recommend it.

食事付きのツアーを参加しました。食事はバイキング、サラダ、果物、デザートなどたくさん〜美味しいです。ただし、料理の味は郷土料理？あまり美味しいと思わない(笑)。行く価値があるので、おすすめします。

I attended with my mother in her 70s (who speaks almost no English). There was a guide assigned to our large hotel shuttle bus, and even with few Japanese people around, they made the journey comfortable and checked on us at the venue, which was very reassuring. At the show venue, the robust performers guided us with smiles, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

We were seated in the center front row, and across from us was a pair of older white individuals who seemed to be a mother and son, so it was easy to chat and we felt relaxed. There were also younger white groups in the back who were lively, but for us, being small, the Royal Plan was great as we had a clear view of the stage.

As soon as we were seated, we were hit by a heavy rain for about ten minutes. We put on the raincoats provided on the table to take cover, and when we returned to our seats, the salad and drinks that had already been served were soaked. The main dish was protected with a lid, so we managed to eat it. After the first few songs of the show (before the real dancing began), they came to clear our plates while we were still eating, so I thought it wise to finish quickly.

The main male performer was truly entertaining, very skilled at engaging the audience and bringing people on stage, far surpassing typical comedians. His interactions with the lively middle-aged Japanese group in the audience were particularly exquisite, making me feel a bit embarrassed to be Japanese, but he managed to involve the entire venue in laughter.

On the other hand, he also shared touching stories about family and couples' love, making it a heartwarming show. At the end, we all held hands with the cool performers and other guests, singing and dancing together, creating a sense of full participation.

My mother understood most of the meaning and laughed along with everyone at the same timing, expressing her joy and desire to come again. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises! I would be happy to know the name of the main performer!

　70代の母（英語はほぼ不可）と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
　席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
　着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると（本格的な踊りが始まる前に）、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
　メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
　最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
　母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
　また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！
　あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです！

I was told by an acquaintance that I should definitely go, but after reading the reviews, I found mixed opinions. I was unsure which group to choose, but I went with All Day Deluxe. A student studying at a nearby university guided us brightly and very kindly! It seems that most of the people working at the facility, including those who perform in the shows, are students, but everyone was really cheerful, energetic, and friendly! By choosing the afternoon plan, I was able to see various shows, and they were all incredibly fun! There are various opinions about the food, but I found it delicious! Those who signed up for Deluxe before the evening show were able to see behind the scenes, and I felt a level of professionalism that was hard to believe they were students!

The seating is arranged so that everyone can see from any spot. It seems that it rarely gets fully booked. Although I chose Deluxe, I made the reservation just two days in advance, so I ended up sitting towards the back. I recommend making an early reservation! Even for Standard, if you book early, you should be able to get a seat towards the front, which would make it easier to see!

Indeed, the price is somewhat high, but I heard that the money we pay goes towards scholarships for the working students, and since the afternoon shows are enjoyable, I recommend the afternoon plan for those who are going in the future!

知り合いから是非行ったほうがいいと言われていたのですが、口コミを読むと賛否両論。
どのグループにするか悩みましたがオールデイデラックスに。近くの大学で勉強してる子が明るくそしてとても親切にガイドをしてくれました！ショーに出る子達も含めて施設で働いてる人のほとんどが学生さんらしいのですが、皆さん本当に明るくて元気で親切でした!昼からのプランにすると色々なショーも見れるのですが、どれも凄くたのしかったです!ご飯も色々書かれていますが私には美味しく感じました！夜のショーの前にデラックスで申し込んだ人は舞台裏を見せて貰えるのですが、学生さんとは思えないくらいプロ意識を感じました！
席は何処からでも見えるようになってます。満席になることはあまりないそうです。デラックスにしたものの予約したのが2日前でしたのでデラックスの中でも後ろのほうでした。早めの予約をオススメします!スタンダードでも早めに予約すれば、その中でも前の方だと思うので見やすいと思いますよ！
確かに値段はそこそこしますが、私達が支払うお金は働いてる学生さんたちの奨学金として使われるそうですし、昼のショーも楽しいのでこれから行く方には昼からのをオススメします!
