All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Today, the wind was strong, and we had the main sail set to one point reef (reefed sail), but as expected from a catamaran yacht, we were able to enjoy the sunset comfortably without heeling. Also, the drinks inside were all-you-can-drink, which might be great for a first round of drinks with friends! I would like to use this service again.

本日は風が強くメインセールは１ポイントリーフ（縮帆）でしたがさすがカタマランヨット、ヒールする事もなく快適にサンセットを楽しむ事ができました。また中での酒は飲み放題で友人との飲み会の一次会にも良いかな！？また利用したいと思います。

I had seen many luau shows before, so I thought it would be just okay... but I was completely blown away. It was moving! Amazing! Unbelievably impressive! Just this show alone was worth the trip from Japan. I absolutely recommend it!! I want to participate again more than once. The buffet was also good!! Let's understand the alcohol-free option.

何度もルアウショーを見ていたので、そんなもんか・・・てな気持ちを打ち砕かれました。感激！感嘆！アンビリーバボウ感動！このショーだけで、日本から来た価値ありです。絶対お薦め！！もう一度以上参加したいと思います。ビュフェもOK！！アルコール抜きは理解しましょう。

It was a great experience, from our pick up at Waikiki to the Pier.
Everything was better than I expected, the bus had plenty of space, and the ride was smooth.
When we got to the pier we only waited for 10 minutes in order to be inside the boat.
My wife and I wanted to have a good time, since we are newlyweds and we were spending our honeymoon in Hawaii.
The food was delicious and the bartender was one of the best in Hawaii, will never forget the High Tide, it really made my night better.
It was a romantic night and the crew made the best they could in order to make us feel comfortable.
I wish to go back again in my next trip to Hawaii.
Aloha!

The tour I participated in started in the evening with entry to the Polynesian Cultural Center, followed by a buffet dinner and a show. We were supposed to meet at the pickup location around 4 PM, but there were many guests from other tour options, and it took a while to find our guide. However, our guide eventually spotted us, and we set off!

The Polynesian Cultural Center is on the opposite side of the island from Waikiki, so it took about an hour and a half to get there. Along the way, our lively guide, who lives in Hawaii, kept us entertained with fun stories, so we arrived at our destination without getting bored!

Once we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center, we enjoyed a buffet in a huge dining hall! It seemed that the meal options varied depending on the grade of the package you chose, but the standard option was more than satisfactory!

After the meal, we browsed a souvenir shop before heading to the show. Finally, we got to enjoy the much-anticipated show, "Hā: Breath of Life." I won't spoil the content here, but it had a storyline, and the intensity of the finale was simply overwhelming! I think you can enjoy the show well from any seat.

Since it's far from Waikiki, I recommend this tour for those who have some time to spare!

今回参加したツアーは夕方からポリネシア文化センターへ入場し、ビュッフェを食べて、ショーを見るというもの。
午後4時過ぎにピックアップ場所で待ち合わせだったのですが他のオプションツアーのお客さんがたくさんいてなかなかガイドさん？と会えませんでしたが、なんとかガイドさんが私たちを見つけてくれて出発！！
ポリネシア文化センターはワイキキからは島の反対側なので1時半くらいかかったのですが、道中はハワイ在住の元気なガイドさんがとても楽しいお話で盛り上げてくれたので退屈することなく目的地に到着！
ポリネシア文化センターに到着後は超巨大な食堂でブュッフェを頂きました！申し込むグレードによって食事の内容が変わるみたいでしたが、スタンダードで充分満足することがでしました！！！
食事の後は少しお土産屋さんを見ながらショーの会場へ。
そして待ちに待ったショー、'ハァ'ブレス・オブ・ライフを鑑賞しました！内容についてはネタバレになってしまうのでここでは書きませんが、ストーリー性もありとにかくラストの迫力がすごくてただただ圧倒されてしまいました！！！！席はとこからでも良く鑑賞できると思います。

ワイキキから遠いので時間に余裕がある方にはオススメのツアーです！

It was just the two of us participating with a friend. At first, I was a bit anxious since we were the only Japanese people there, but there were no problems at all. The bus ride seemed like a sightseeing shuttle, and if you understand a little English, you can enjoy it. I've seen various Hawaiian shows before, but this one was quite fun. Participating in the evening and being able to return to the hotel around 9 PM is also appealing. If you have no plans in the evening, I definitely recommend going!

友達と二人参加でした。
日本人が、私たちしかいなく最初不安になりましたが、なんの問題も有りませんでした。
行きのバスは、観光付きの送迎のようで、多少英語が分かれば楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーも今まで色々のもの見てますが、かなり楽しいです。
夕方からの参加で、程よい９時頃ホテルに戻れるのも魅力です。
夕方から予定がないなら、ぜひいったほうがいいですよ。

I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal A whole lobster n steak!! Purple bread was awesome wonderful soo so entertaining they singed happy birthday to ny mom too was soo fun

I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal crab legs and steak!! N fireWorks at the end of the night was great too

We spent an evening aboard the Makani during our honeymoon... What a great decision it was!!! The staff was very friendly, you truly can tell that they enjoy their jobs and want to have their guests to have the best time possible. Our cruise may have had 20 other guess on board. They could have easily fit 2x that many so it was not crowded. The Bartender named Stretch mixes some delicious drinks, and they are STRONG :) Food was much better then expected. We enjoyed a beef stir fry, sushi wraps, egg rolls, teriyaki chicken, salad, white rice, cookies and more. The scenery was extremely romantic and a perfect evening during our honeymoon!! Special note: Bring camera and selfie stick. Alot of people aboard our boat didn't have one and said that is one thing theyd bring next time

My wife and I participated together. The course I chose involved dining outside before watching the show, but even during our meal, the hula dancers we saw before entertained us by coming around the tables to sing and dance. The staff was also very hospitable, making it enjoyable even before the show started. The location was easy to find on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and of course, the show was fantastic.

家内と二人で参加しました。私が選んだｺｰｽは、外で食事をしてからｼｮｰを見るものでしたが、食事の前に見たﾌﾗﾀﾞﾝｽの人たちが食事中もﾃｰﾌﾞﾙを回って歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ｽﾀｯﾌもﾎｽﾋﾟﾀﾘﾃｨ溢れていて、ｼｮｰを見る前から楽しめます。場所もﾛﾔﾙﾊﾜｲｱﾝｾﾝﾀｰ４階と分かり易く、勿論ｼｮｰも最高でした。

I entered the restaurant at 6:30 PM and enjoyed dinner on the terrace while chatting with a Japanese person at the next table. The food was just average; it wasn't particularly delicious or bad. However, incorporating hula into the experience made it truly enjoyable. So, the food didn't really matter. From 8:00 PM, there was a fun showtime featuring well-structured performances with songs and dances from Gaga, Michael, and Elvis. It was seriously fun! At the end, we took a photo together, which became a nice memory. Thank you! The Elvis impersonator and the photo with my daughter were great.

18：30に入店し、テラスでディナーをしていると相席の日本人の方とお話しながら、お食事を進めました。お食事は　まぁ普通で特に美味しいとかまずいとかはないです。でも、フラを間に取り入れてくれて本当に楽しい時間でした。だから、食事はどうでもよかったです。２０：００からは楽しいショウータイムで、ガガ、マイケル、エルビスと歌に踊りにフラによく構成された内容でした。マジ！！楽しかったです。最後は　写真を一緒に撮ってくれて、思い出になりました。サンキュー♪　エルビスのそっくりさん、娘とのフォトGOODでしたよ。

I thought the event might be canceled because it was raining quite heavily by the meeting time, but we set sail 30 minutes late in light rain. There were only two Japanese families, including us; the rest were all foreigners. Mai Tai was served, and we all toasted together. Mixing with the cheerful foreigners and aided by the drinks, we ended up having quite a bit of fun. Although the enjoyment of sipping cocktails while watching the setting sun was somewhat diminished, the rain stopped, and we were treated to a beautiful double rainbow, so it turned out well.

集合時間になっても結構強い雨が降っていたので中止になるのかと思っていましたが、30分遅れで小雨の中を出航。日本人は私たちともう1家族だけで後はすべて外国人でした。マイタイがサーブされてみんなで乾杯。陽気な外国人に混ざって、酔いも手伝って結構はしゃいでしまいました。沈みゆく夕日を見ながらカクテルをという楽しみは半減しましたが、雨がやんでダブルの虹がきれいに見えていたので良しとしました。

The pickup was great, and the Japanese staff (students) provided very polite guidance, making it easy to participate. The night show was dynamic, but the kids got bored halfway through, so it might be more suitable for adults. It's a tour you should definitely experience at least once when you come to Hawaii!

ピックアップから園内と日本人スタッフ（学生）さんが大変丁寧に案内をしてくれて安心して参加出来ました♪夜のショーもダイナミックでしたが子供は途中で飽きてしまうので大人向きのツアーかな⁉ハワイに来たら一度は行くべきツアー
です◎

Since it was my first time, I think it was good to see it at least once. The food was average, but it was served quickly. The fire show was the most impressive.

はじめてだったので、一度は見ておいてよかったかたかと思います。
お料理は普通ですが、しまわれるのが早かった。
ファイアーショウが一番見応えがありました。

Honestly, it could not have been better! Everything was perfect!!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!

The title is a little confusing when booking the Friday sunset cocktail sail ...... kinda sounds like you're getting the fireworks at the end. Unfortunately, that's a totally different sail, but would have been nice. The sail kind of just goes back and forth between the Hilton and the Westin until sunset then goes in. I wasn't fond of the run drink they served, but it comes with the price. All in all, the captain and 1 person crew/bartender were accommodating. I would recommend it.

I read the reviews and everyone had such great things to say that I really wanted to participate, so I joined the Green Room Dinner Show monitor tour. Since our hotel was Aulani, a Disney Resort in the Ko Olina area, I was very grateful for the transportation provided to this location.

We left the hotel at 3:50 PM and, despite getting caught in quite a bit of traffic around Waikiki, we arrived at the venue around 5:20 PM. Since the entrance was at 6:00 PM, we had to wait about 40 minutes near the VIP entrance, which left us with some extra time, but once we got inside, we had a wonderful time.

First, only three groups of ten people were guided into the Green Room, where we were served cocktails and some snacks and fruits. We took photos with an Elvis impersonator who came to greet us (this photo was included in the tour price, and we also got Elvis's autograph after the show).

After that, the theater manager gave us a fun tour of the backstage and dressing rooms, and we even took photos on stage. We then joined the VIP tour group for dinner, and our seats were right up close to the stage, allowing us to enjoy a very powerful show.

The meal started with lobster, and the meat was tender, with the mashed potatoes as a side being very delicious. However, the mashed potatoes might have been a bit too much in quantity. I ordered a non-alcoholic Blue Hawaii drink, which was also tasty. The chocolate cake for dessert was very good, but it was a bit too sweet for us Japanese, making it hard to finish.

The show featured Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga. All three were excellent singers, and the performance was fantastic. The luau that took place between their shows was also of very high quality.

From start to finish, I had a truly enjoyable time and was very satisfied. At 9:40 PM, we were guided to the shuttle and taken back to the hotel. The people who provided the transportation and the woman who guided us to the venue were all very friendly and kind, making for a truly wonderful half-day experience, for which I am very grateful.

Next time I visit Hawaii (even if it's not a monitor tour), I definitely want to participate again.

レビューを読ませていただき皆さんの評判がとても良かったのでぜひ参加したいと思いグリーンルーム・ディナーショーのモニターツアーに参加させて頂きました。
今回私たちは滞在ホテルがコオリナ地区のアウラニディズニーだったのでこちらまでの送迎があったのもとても有難かったです。
さてPM3:50にホテルを出発して途中ワイキキ付近ではかなりの渋滞に巻き込まれながらもPM5:20くらいには会場まえに到着しました。入場はPM6:00ということでVIP入口付近で40分ほどの待ち時間があり少し時間を持て余してしまいましたが、入場してからはとても素敵な時間を過ごせました。
まずグリーンルームに3グループ10人だけが案内され、カクテルとちょっとしたおつまみ・果物のサービスを受け、挨拶に来てくれたエルビスのそっくりさんと各グループづつ写真を撮ってもらいました。(この写真はツアー料金に含まれっており、私たちはショー終了後にエルビスにサインもしてもらいました。)
その後劇場支配人がバックステージと楽屋を案内してくれてとても楽しく説明してくださり、舞台上で写真も撮ってもらいました。
その後VIPツアーの方たちと合流してお食事を頂きましたが、やはり席は舞台かぶりつきでとても迫力あるショーを楽しめました。
お食事はロブスターに始まりお肉も柔らかく付け合わせのマッシュポテトもとても美味しかったです。ただマッシュポテトちょっと量が多すぎたかな？
飲み物は私はノンアルコールのブルーハワイを頼みましたがこれも美味しかったです。
デザートのチョコレートケーキも味はとても良かったのですが、日本人の私たちにはちょっと
甘すぎて完食は厳しい感じでした。
今回のショーの出演はエルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソン・レディーガガでした。3人ともとても歌がうまくて素晴らしいショーでした。パフォーマンス最高です。
彼らのショーの合間に行われたルアウもとてもクオリティの高いものでした。
最初から最後まで本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来てとても満足しました。
PM9:40に送迎車に案内されホテルまで送ってもらいました。
送迎してくれた人たちも会場まで案内してくれた女性も皆とても気さくで親切な人たちだったので本当に素晴らしい半日を過ごすことが出来、とても感謝しています。
次回ハワイに行った折には(例えモニターツアーで無かっとしても)ぜひ参加したいと思っています。

Although my stay in Hawaii was short, it was my first trip to Hawaii, and I was overwhelmed by the various entertainment options. However, this live performance was packed with authentic live music, hula dancing, and Polynesian culture, and I was very satisfied. There were also many honeymooners from around the world.

今回、ハワイ滞在期間が短いものの、初めてのハワイ旅行ということで、色々なエンタメが魅力的で困っていましたが、このライヴは、本格的なライヴもフラダンスもポリネシアンもすべてがギュッと詰まっていて大満足でした。
世界中からハネムーンで来てるお客さんも多かったです。

We did the activity our first night and Hawaii and it started the trip off right. We had a wonderful time!

Since we took the bus, it was a bit of a long journey, but we were able to spend a very relaxing day. The hula lesson and craft experience were just for us, so it felt almost like a private lesson. The craft experience with the tea leaf lei work was fun, and the hula was taught with great care, which made me happy. The spacious grounds were pleasant, and the planetarium had interesting explanations. The guide in the museum provided thorough explanations as we toured the exhibits, allowing us to learn about Hawaiian culture.

THE BUSで出向いたので少し遠い道のりでしたが、とてもゆったりと一日過ごすことが出来ました。
フラレッスンもクラフト体験も私達だけでしたからほぼプライベートレッスン状態でした。
クラフト体験のティーリーフのレイワークも楽しかったし、フラは丁寧に教えて下さったし、嬉しかったです。
広い敷地内で気持ち良く、プラネタリウムでは興味深い説明で、博物館内も案内の方がしっかり説明して展示物を回ってくださるのでハワイの文化を知ることができました。

We took the sunset cruise on our last night in Waikiki. It was such a fun way to end our trip! The crew was great and took great care of us aboard the boat. It was such a relaxing way to spend the evening. If we lived closer, I would take this cruise all the time!

This is Hawaii!
It's incredibly refreshing!
The scenery is wonderful!
Last time, I watched the fireworks from Mai Tai on Friday night, but this time, I recommend the sunset!

これぞハワイ！
最高に気持ちいい！
素晴らしい景色！
前回は金曜夜の花火をマイタイからみましたが、今回のサンセットのほうがオススメです！

Was it because of the sunset? We waited over 30 minutes before departure, but we got to see a beautiful sunset. The crew was very friendly, and they kept refilling our wine, which made us very satisfied. It's a great tour for those who enjoy drinking.

日の入りの関係か？出航まで30分以上待たされましたが、綺麗なサンセットが見れました。クルーたちも大変気さくで、ワインのお代わりもいっぱい注いでもらい大満足でした。お酒好きにはお得なツアーです。

My fiancé & I absolutely loved every second of this sunset cruise. The staff is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, & the views are just perfect. We have already decided on our next trip, we will for sure be doing this again. If you're smart, you'll take them up on the offer prior to boarding the boat. They offer a shaker with a house cocktail which you get before boarding to pregame but it also gets you on the boat before anybody else (plus the drink is so so good)

The guide lady on the way there talked a lot, which is understandable, but the driver was driving roughly with his elbow on the window and speeding. The car shook so much that it made me feel sick. The food and show were about what I expected. On the way back, they said they would check that everyone was on board before leaving, but the moment it was time, they took off without checking. As expected, someone who was supposed to get off at the Hilton wasn't on board. I wonder what happened... I might not go again.

行きの車内のガイドおばちゃんが良く喋るのは仕方ないが、
運転手が肩肘付きながらスピード出して運転が荒い。
気持ち悪くなるほど良く揺れる車もいまいち。
食事とショーはまあ予想通りのレベル。
帰りの車は全員乗車を確認してから出発すると言っていたのに
時間になった瞬間、確認もしないで急発進。
案の定、ヒルトンで降りる予定だった人が乗ってなかった。
どうなったんだろう。。。
次はないかな。

I participated in a tour during Silver Week. The sunset viewed from the catamaran and the Waikiki sunset were amazing. The Mai Tai was a bit weak in alcohol but still delicious. I switched to beer and enjoyed a few Mai Tais along with some beer. We encountered some rain and got soaked, but that was part of the fun. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

The only downside was that although the meeting time was set for 5 PM, when I asked the staff before 5 PM, they said, "We won't check in for another 20 minutes," and we ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes before departure. I wish I could have done more shopping during that time, so I deducted one star for that. However, it was such a fun tour that I almost forgot about that.

シルバーウィークにツアーに参加してきました。
カタマランから見るサンセット、ワイキキの夕日、　最高でした。
マイタイもアルコールが薄いけれども　おいしかったです。
ビールへの変更もでき、マイタイ数杯と、ビールを飲んできました。
途中で雨に会い、びしょ濡れになりましたが、これも醍醐味。
とても楽しい2時間でした。
ただマイナス点は、集合時間が5時になっていたのに、5時前に係りの人に尋ねると、「後20分くらいしないとチェックしない」と言われ、出航まで結局 30分近く待っていました。
それならもっと買い物したかったのに、、、と時間がすこしもったいなかったのでマイナス星１つです。
でもそれを忘れるくらいたのしいツアーでした。

On the evening of our arrival in Honolulu, we boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran. A nice breeze was blowing, and it was perfect cruising weather with big waves. We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful sunset with cocktails in hand, accompanied by a lively crew and great background music. I will definitely ride again!

ホノルル到着日の夕方にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗り込みました。良い風が吹き、波も大きなクルーズ日和。ノリの良いクルーとBGMでカクテル片手に素晴らしいサンセットを心行くまで楽しみました。また絶対乗ります！

I was torn between Standard and Deluxe, but I'm glad I chose Deluxe!

I had a great view from the center of the third row. I could really appreciate the dancers' expressions, and I enjoyed the fire dance and the energetic hip-shaking dances. The stage was much larger than I expected, so I was happy to have a good seat. In the first half, various dances were performed in turns by several teams, and in the second half, it got even more exciting with fire dances. At the end of the show, the dancers came over to shake hands, and I was amazed by how muscular the main dancer was... Their palms were thick and hard, which surprised me. (laughs)

As for the food, I was able to enjoy a lot of meat, fish, salads, and desserts. The beef was thick yet tender, and I ended up going for seconds. I was wondering if I would get to try Kalua pig during my trip, but it was included in the buffet menu, so I unexpectedly got to enjoy it. The pork was light and delicious, with just the right amount of fat. The way my favorite dishes were piled high on a large plate felt like ordering from a restaurant, and I was very satisfied.

スタンダードかデラックスか、迷いましたがデラックスで良かったです！

ショーは前から３列目の真ん中で、じっくり鑑賞することができました。ダンサーの表情もよく見えたし、ファイヤーダンスや激しく腰を振るダンスもしっかり見えてとても楽しめました。ステージは思っていたよりも随分広かったので、良い席にしてもらえて良かったです。前半は色々なダンスを数人のチームに分かれて順繰りに披露という感じ、後半は火を使ったダンスも交えて盛り上がりました。ショーの最後にダンサーの方が握手に来てくれましたが、メインダンサーの方のムキムキ具合がすごかったです…手のひらも厚くて硬くてびっくりしました。笑

料理も、お肉お魚、サラダやスイーツもたくさん食べれました。ビーフが分厚いのに柔らかくておかわりする程、カルアピッグは旅行中食べれるかな～と思っていたら、ブッフェメニューに含まれていたので予定外に食べられました。脂のおちたあっさり目の豚肉でおいしかった^^好きなメニューを大皿にどっしり盛りつけた感じは、レストランで頼んだメニューのようで、満足ｄした。

We booked this event last minute e.g. the afternoon before the event day and we're lucky that we got on. We enjoyed the trip. The food was ok perhaps average for the price of the event. 2 alcoholic baverages were included subsequent alcoholic drinks were 1$ (beer, wine) or 2$ (cocktails, mixed drinks) which is very cheap. So a good deal for people who can drink a lot. The crew was friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

We were a family of 8 people that included 4 young adult children looking for a fireworks cruise that included dinner and found this cruise on this website that was very well priced.
The fireworks are on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village every Friday night and the Hilton put on a fireworks cruise at a more expensive price but I wasn't sure if we would like the food so decided to go for this cruise that included BBQ buffet dinner at Shore Bird restaurant in the Outrigger hotel. We met the Holokai catamaran on the beach directly out front of the Shore Bird restaurant. The crew were friendly and we were able to purchase our drinks on board and got to keep our cocktail shaker that we bought our drinks in, nice souvenir! We sailed out to position in front of the Hilton Hotel Rainbow tower.
Such a lovely tour to do whether you are a small or large group and then return to the beach to make your way to a BBQ of fish,chicken or steak and help yourself to the all you can eat salad buffet followed by desert.
We had the steak and fish for dinner and we're happy with our meals, I especially liked their potato salad int the salad buffet as well.
The restaurant overlooks the beach and they also have karaoke. I would highly recommend this cruise as it is well priced and it gives you the option of dinner or no dinner if you would prefer to eat elsewhere.

We had an awesome driver named Allen who was hauling his way to get to the Polynesian cultural center even through the pouring rain. Even though we purchased the late night entry, we still had a great time with our tour guide and was able to go to a few of the more larger exhibits. Each land has their own exhibit, or a mini show varying from 15-30 minutes. My favorite was the Samoas. The dinner was a buffet style luau with the hula girls and boys, and the children. Half day is more than enough time to go through the park. There was also a canoe ride that operates every 15 min but we missed it since we were the last wave to enter the park. The show at the end called HA, the breathe of life was an amazing show!
