「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合!有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内>

Rock and Flare is the best! ロック&フラ最高

Reviewed by: 横浜のハワイ大好きおじさん

I signed up for a dinner buffet tour, and I was able to enjoy a wide variety of dishes. Although I'm not good at English, there was a person from Norway sitting next to me, and we had a great time until the end of the show using gestures, broken English, and their broken Japanese.
The show featured performances that were incredibly impressive, resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The hula show was also captivating, with singing and dancing that were all perfectly executed.
I would love to participate again; it was a wonderful experience with the food and the show.

夕食ビュッフェ付きツアーを申し込みましたが、料理の種類が多く堪能できました。英語が苦手な私ですが隣の席にノルウェーの方がいて身振り、手振りとカタコト英語と相手のカタコトの日本語でショーの終わりまで楽しく過ごすことができました。
ショーもエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの物まねとは思えないほどの内容で堪能しました。またフラショーも見ごたえが有り、歌と踊り全てが完成されていて素晴らしかった。
また参加したい、見てみた食事、ショーでした。

Reviewed by: ココペリ

We went to the venue with a funny and hospitable bus guide. The venue is located by the sea and has a beautiful view. The welcome drink was delicious, and we enjoyed various events before the show, such as hula lessons and a tree climbing show. The buffet dinner was also tasty. The show on the main stage featured various dances from the Polynesian region, and we had a great time. It can get a bit chilly at night, so I think having a light jacket would be good. There is no guidance in Japanese at all, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand English. My companion, who doesn't speak any English, also had a great time.

ホスピタリティ溢れる面白いバスガイドさんの案内で会場に行きました。
海辺でとても景色が良い会場です。
ウェルカムドリンクも美味しく、ショーの前のさまざまなイベント(フラレッスンや木登りのショーなど)も楽しめました。
ビュッフェ形式の夕飯も美味しかったです。
メインステージでのショーはポリネシア地域からの様々な踊りを見ることができ、大変楽しめました。
夜は少し冷えるので薄手の上着があると良いと思います。また、日本語での案内等は全くないですが、英語が分からなくても楽しめるかと思います。英語を全く話さない同行者も楽しんでいました。

I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Glorious Day!

Reviewed by: Stuart and Susan

The reservations are easy - and complete. I was still recuperating from a surgery, so we secured a mobility cart, which is right at the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The bus picks up from several points in Waikiki; it is comfortable and also waiting right at the entrance-exit after the show is over. The day is extraordinary - the staff is so friendly and helpful, as we asked questions at the various Islands. There is a river cruise you can take - the Center is 40 square miles (think Disneyland) so prepare your walking shoes and attire accordingly. Terrific shopping before the Center actually opens. Take a poncho, because there is a lot of rain on that side of the island - rains quickly, dries quickly.

The buffet is amazing and delicious, and a real bargain if you're feeding starving teens! The show is exquisite. They help park the mobility cart everywhere, so if you have mobility issues - worry not!

Enjoy as much as we did!

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「アハアイナ」ワイキキ中心!ダイアモンドヘッドを望む絶景オーシャン・フロントでのディナーショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン内>

It was the best luau! 最高のルアウでした!

Reviewed by: ちぃちぃ

If you're looking to see a hula show, I had my mind set on the Aha Aina at the Royal Hawaiian. Of course, I signed up for the front row seating plan. Since the price difference between regular and front row seats is minimal, I recommend going for the front row.

The show itself was simply amazing! With mesmerizing dances, comedic performances, passionate dances, and powerful fire dances, there was never a dull moment—it flew by in no time.

The dinner included an appetizer, a main course, and a generous dessert platter, so much that I couldn't finish it all. As expected from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, everything was delicious. The ticket also included three drink vouchers, so I thoroughly enjoyed Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiis, and Piña Coladas.

フラのショーを見るなら、ロイアルハワイアンのアハ アイナと決めていました。もちろん、前列席確約プランで申し込み。普通席と前列席との価格差が少ないので、前列確約をおすすめします。
ショー自体は、素晴らしいの一言でした!うっとりするダンスやコミカルなお芝居、情熱的なダンスや力強いファイヤーダンス等々、飽きる暇もなく、あっという間でした。
ディナーは、前菜とメインにデザートの盛り合わせとボリュームたっぷりで、食べきれないほど。さすが、ロイヤルハワイアンホテル、どれも美味しかったです。ドリンクも3杯分のチケットが付いていたので、マイタイ、ブルーハワイ、ピニャコラーダなど十分楽しめました。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Wonderful Experience!

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

On March 15th, 2024, I went to PCC and participated in the Gateway Buffet package. This experience included admission to the park, buffet, and show. Each village was unique, and educational. The canoe ride was my favorite part of the park, a must do!

The buffet dinner was INCREDIBLE, they had everything you could imagine. From salad, sides, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and dessert. The presentation of the food, and dinning hall felt like something out of a movie! They really set the scene for local cuisine.

'HA: Breath of Life,' show was spectacular a must see! The dancers were truly amazing! I would definitely go see it again and again. Everything about PCC was so professional, engaging, fun, and educational. There is something for the whole family.

I would recommend PCC to anyone who enjoys learning about different cultures, and has a full day to spend away from Waikiki.

This was a full day activity. We stared on the canoe amd ended the one end. Walked to each village. At each village they are very informative on their culture. They have activities you can participate in or just watch their 15-20 min skits. The journey movies was quite amazing but moves a lot, but worth it. The buffet was absolutely the best I've ever been to! So much food to choose from. Plus there was live entertainment. We also stayed for the breath of life show, which was spectacular.

The food was just average. Since it's a buffet, you can eat as much as you want. A person came around playing the ukulele at each table, but it seemed like they were looking for tips, so feel free to decline if you don't want to give one. Dining outdoors had its challenges due to the season and weather, and it was a bit cold. We got VIP seats for the show, but I think you can enjoy it from the regular seats as well. The impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson seemed to be of high quality.

食事の味はまぁ普通です。ビュッフェなので満足するまで食べられます。
各席を回ってウクレレを弾いてくれる方が回って来ましたがチップ狙いのようなので不要であれば断ってください。

Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Dinner, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula Show

Amazing performance with stunning dinner

Reviewed by: Gordon

This combo offers an immersive and entertaining experience that captures the spirit of Hawaiian culture. The evening begins with a warm welcome and traditional lei greeting, setting the tone for an authentic Hawaiian experience.

The dinner itself features a delicious buffet spread showcasing a variety of local dishes, including traditional Hawaiian favorites such as kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, and poi. The food is fresh, flavorful, and provides a wonderful introduction to Hawaiian cuisine.

The performance showcases the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, with vibrant costumes, energetic dances, and soulful music that transport audiences to another time and place. One of the highlights of the evening is the fire knife dance, a mesmerizing display of skill and daring that never fails to impress. Watching the performers twirl, spin, and juggle flaming knives against the backdrop of the night sky is truly awe-inspiring and adds an exhilarating finale to the show.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー<ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内>

The power of the fire dance is unparalleled! 【ベルトラスタッフ体験談】ファイヤーダンスの迫力は天下一品!

Reviewed by: S.VELTRA

I participated in the luau in November 2023. The fire dance performance was truly spectacular! The powerful dance and unique techniques, along with a large number of male dancers handling fire, made for a very impressive luau!

The location is in the Kapolei area, a bit away from Waikiki, and the luau is held on the grounds of the theme park "Wet 'n' Wild." I visited using a rental car, but there are also paid shuttles available from Waikiki, so if you're feeling uncertain, using the shuttle might be a good option.

The luau starts around the time Wet 'n' Wild closes. Staff dressed in Hawaiian attire greet you at the entrance and place a lei around your neck. Along the way to the venue, you can take commemorative photos before entering the open-air venue. The seating consists of plastic chairs, but they are neatly arranged, and a staff member guides you to your assigned seat.

During the bright hours before all the guests arrive, you can experience Hawaiian culture. I tried making a crown using coconut leaves. It might be fun for families with elementary school children or groups to participate in. There was also a traditional fire-starting demonstration on stage. You can enjoy a friendly atmosphere while waiting for the show to start.

Once all the guests have arrived, the show begins. First, there is a welcome performance by strong male dancers, followed by the meal time. The meal is served buffet-style, and you take food in the order you are seated. Since there were many large guests from the mainland, some menu items were gone by the time I went for seconds... It might be a good idea to take enough food during the first serving.

The staff also provides drinks with the meal. I refrained from alcohol since I was driving, but there are menu items like Mai Tai cocktails that you can only enjoy in Hawaii! If you're coming with a shuttle or with family, I recommend enjoying the exclusive drinks.

After enjoying a hearty meal, it’s finally time for the dance show. By the time the show starts, the sun has set, and the torches on stage create an atmospheric setting. The audience also starts to get excited. The dance show features about eight performers, showcasing not only hula but also Tahitian dance and moody performances, all of which are very engaging.

The highlight of this luau is undoubtedly the fire dance! The number of performers, the intensity, and the main dancer's skills combined to create an overwhelming performance. It ended with a standing ovation and loud applause. If you want to enjoy a show full of excitement, this is definitely a luau you should participate in!

It was incredibly impressive, and I'm glad I participated! Thank you to all the staff!

2023年11月に参加させていただきました。1にも2にもファイヤーダンスが圧巻のパフォーマンス!大迫力のダンスと他に類を見ないような技術の数々、火を扱う男性ダンサーの数も多く、非常に見応えたっぷりのルアウでした!

場所は少々ワイキキから離れたカポレイ地区、テーマパーク「ウェット&ワイルド」の敷地内で実施されているルアウです。私はレンタカーを使って訪問しましたが、ワイキキから有料送迎も出ているので不安な方は送迎利用も良いかもしれません。

ルアウの開始時間はウェット&ワイルドの閉園と近い時間。入口でハワイアンの装いをしたスタッフさんたちが出迎え、1人ずつレイを首にかけててくれます。会場までの道中で記念写真を撮っていただき、オープンエアの会場へ。座席はプラスチックのイスですが、きれいに整頓されており、自分の指定席にスタッフさんが案内してくれました。

お客さんが全員揃うまでの明るい時間帯はハワイアン文化の体験ができます。私はココナッツの葉っぱを使った冠作りに挑戦。小学生連れのご家族やグループで楽しんでみても良いかもしれません。ステージの上では昔ながらの火起こし体験も実施されていました。ショー開始までの時間、和気あいあいとした雰囲気を満喫することができます。

会場にお客さんが揃った頃からショーの開始です。まずは屈強な男性陣によるウェルカムパフォーマンスがあり、そこからお食事タイムへ。食事はブッフェ形式で席に座っている順番に取り分けていく流れです。大柄なアメリカ本土のお客さんが多かったせいか、おかわりを取りに行った頃にはなくなっているメニューもいくつか…1回目のとりわけでしっかりと食べる分は取っておくと良いかもしれませんね。

お食事と共にスタッフさんがドリンクを提供してくれます。私は運転があったのでアルコールは控えましたが、マイタイカクテル等、ハワイでしか飲めないメニューも!送迎つきで来られている方やご家族で来ている場合は、限定ドリンクを楽しむのもお勧めです。

お腹いっぱいまでお食事を楽しんだ後は、いよいよダンスショータイムになります。ショー開始の頃には日も沈んで夜も更けており、ステージ上の松明が世界感を演出。会場に合わせて、客席も盛り上がってきます。ダンスショーは男女8名程度の構成で、フラダンスはもちろん、タヒチアンダンスやムーディーなダンス等、見応えたっぷりの演目が続きます。

このルアウの見どころはなんといってもファイヤーダンス!人数、迫力、メインダンサーの技術など、総合して圧倒的なパフォーマンスでした。最後はスタンディングオベーションで大拍手喝采。とにかく迫力満点のショーを楽しみたい方には、是非参加いただきたいルアウショーでした!

非常に見応えたっぷり、参加して良かったです!
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!

Reviewed by: S.VELTRA

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.

The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.

The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.

The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.

Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.

After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.

You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.

After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!

The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.

Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.

以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。

会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。

16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…!並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。

当日はハワイらしい快晴!開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。

会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ!全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。

しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。

食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる?」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。

一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった~!

ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス!!
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事!火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。

他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。

なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず!
(一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。)

ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました!

I highly recommend it! ぜひおすすめしたいです!

Reviewed by: コバシズ

I was anxious because I hardly understood any English, but it turned out to be okay. The various activities before the show were enjoyable for both kids and adults. You can exchange drinks with the Cove Card.
The show was not only great in content but also had an amazing location. I was moved by the sunset and starry sky, which I had never seen in Japan!

ほとんど英語わからず不安でしたが、なんとか大丈夫でした。ショーの前の様々なアクティビティも子供も大人も楽しめました。コーブカードで飲み物かえます。
ショーは内容もさることながらロケーションも最高で、日本ではみたことないサンセットや星空にも感動しました!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Wife’s 50th Birthday

Reviewed by: Popaye

Aloha!
There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.
Thanks again

Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Dinner, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula Show

Rock-A-Hula Luau Dinner with Green Room VIP Package

Reviewed by: Lonn

I purchased the Rock-A-Hula Luau Dinner with Green Room VIP Package as part of an early Valentines trip to the Island of Oahu. We are a couple who have been to each of the main Hawaiian Islands and look for unique experiences each place we travel. We have participated in other Luau's in Hawaii and similar other events in other places we have traveled. Upon arrival we were greeted with flower lei's. Then had Champagne and appetizers in the Green Room which had furnishings from Elvis's home. Cameron the manager who gave us the tour was very informative and could tell he had a passion for the production and the crew. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming and during dinner came around and performed various songs, dances, and even did a "Hula Lesson" for anyone who wanted to participate. The food and drinks were very good as well. Following Dinner we went back to the main theatre for the show which was a good blend of history and entertainment. We appreciated the screens showing the history and how it coordinated with the entertainment on stage. Overall the Green room/Backstage tour experience was very good and we are glad to have opted for this option but also would recommend just the dinner and show experience.
