All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The two women in their forties were very satisfied with the delicious champagne they enjoyed in the green room (＾－＾). While savoring pinchos, they had a blissful time when, surprisingly, Presley came to visit, and they took a commemorative photo, making their luxurious time fly by!(^^)!

Next, they were guided backstage. The explanations were in English, but they spoke slowly, making it easy to understand. They explained the stage equipment and props, and they even took a commemorative photo wearing part of the costumes used in the hula—what a great experience!

The meal included lobster, steak, and salmon, and the portions were ample (＾ｕ＾). They didn't have high expectations for the taste, but everything was delicious☆ They finished the wine they had reserved in advance, and the women in their forties were soon overcome by sleepiness, but the show started right away (*^_^*). Sitting in the center of the front row, they were mesmerized by the performances of Presley, Gaga, and Michael. The hula and fire dance were also wonderful, and they were captivated. After the show, there was a photo opportunity with the stars and cast, and of course, they lined up for a snapshot★

It was a fun time in Hawaii! Several colleagues are traveling to Hawaii this summer, so I recommended this tour to them.

グリーンルームで頂いたシャンパンのおいしさにアラフォー女子二人は大満足（＾－＾）ピンチョスを頂きながら至福の時を過ごしていると、な・ん・と・プレスリーが訪問してくれ記念写真を撮り贅沢な時間はあっという間に終了!(^^)!
次は舞台裏を案内していただきました。説明は英語ですがゆっくり言ってくれるのでわかりやすかったです。舞台装置の説明や道具を説明してくれ、フラで使用する衣装の一部をつけて記念写真を撮ったり、いい体験でした！
食事はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームは十分（＾ｕ＾）味は期待していなかったけど、すべておいしかったです☆事前に予約したワインも飲み干し出来上がったアラフォーは睡魔に襲われましたがすぐにショーが始まりました(*^_^*)最前列の真ん中でプレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのパフォーマンスにうっとり。フラやファイヤーダンスも素敵で見入ってました。ショーが終わるとスターやキャストとの写真撮影があり勿論列にならんでパチリ★
ハワイでの楽しい時間となりました！今年の夏休みはハワイ旅行をする同僚が数人いるのでこのツアーをおすすめしました。

The show was amazing would definitely go again. My 8 year old wanted to go back again the next night! Great family experience!

Super Ambassador was the way to go! Loved everything about it, even the little rain shower

- It's close to the stage, but since it's just one table away, it's not that different.
- You can receive a lei made of fresh flowers.
- You can go get your food early during the meal.

So, honestly, a regular seat is perfectly fine. The food is the same. The show was absolutely wonderful.
I received a message that the meeting time is at 5 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM and the show starts around 6 or 7 PM, so I think it would be better to arrive a bit later to avoid the line at the entrance.

ーステージに近い、でもテーブル1個分なのでそんなに違わない
ー生の花のレイがもらえる
ー食事のとき早めに取りに行ける

なので、正直普通の席で問題ありません。食事も同じ。
ショーはとっても素晴らしかったです。
集合時間17時と連絡ありますが、開場が17時でショーは18時、19時くらいから始まるので
ちょっとずらしてきたほうが入口の行列に並ばなくてすむとおもいます。

I took my best friend and 14 year old son on this dinner cruise. We arrived early, got good seats. The dinner was delicious, the staff was very friendly and informative, and the view was gorgeous and priceless!! We went on the cruise on Friday evening so we were able to enjoy the fireworks as well as the beautiful ocean, sunset and view of O'ahu from the sea. Everyone definitely must add this to their to do list even if born and raised in Honolulu!!

Such a great sail. Well looked after. So much fun.

After about an hour and a half drive from Waikiki, we arrived at the cultural center. We had a meal, moved to another building, and then enjoyed the show. The food was not exactly delicious... it was a bit disappointing. However, the show was fantastic as we got to see various dances. The fire dance was incredibly powerful and moving.

ワイキキから1時間半程車に乗ってカルチャーセンターにつきました
食事をし、建物を移動してからショーを鑑賞しました
食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えず・・・。チョット残念でした。
ショーの内容はいろんな踊りを見ることができてすごく良かったです
ファイアーダンスはものすごく迫力があって、感動しました

I participated in the Twilight with the standard shuttle service plan. During the day, I went snorkeling, and after a break, the shuttle picked us up at the hotel, which made it very convenient. The guide's stories about Hawaii on the bus were also nice. Since it was the standard plan, I didn't have high expectations for the meal, but I would have liked a few more options. My seat was on the side, but I really enjoyed the show. The final fire dance was impressive. It rained during the show, but there was a roof, so we could watch without getting wet! I went on a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I participated.

トワイライト、スタンダード送迎付きプランで参加しました。昼間はシュノーケルをして、休憩した後、ホテルまでお迎えが来てくれたので、とても楽でした。バスの中でのガイドさんのハワイにまつわるお話も良かったです。スタンダードでしたので、食事の期待はしていませんでしたが、もう少し品数が欲しかったです。席はサイドでしたが、ショーはとても楽しめました。ラストのファイヤーダンスは迫力です。ショーの途中、雨が降っていましたが屋根がある為、濡れずに見れます！友人の勧めで行きましたが、参加して良かったと思います。

It was an amazing experience and it was the best way the finish our trip. It was our last night and it was very romantic. The music was great and people were having a great time. I recommend it to everyone who want to experimence a nice cruise and watch breathtaking firework. I already have recommended it to my best friend going in October. The food was great and they offered a good variety. The cocktails were fantastic and there was a good selection of beers and spirits. I only have great comments about that evening. Watching the firework on the water was just magical. The service was very nice and the staff were very thoughtful. I will do this cruise again next year when we come back.

We had a great time! I would recommend it for a fun night.

This was my second sunset cruise. I made a reservation from Japan. It seems to be quite popular, and it's sometimes hard to get a spot with local bookings. The restrooms are not very clean, but they are available. If you ask the crew, they will guide you. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. In winter, I think it might be a bit cold for the sunset, so it's a must-do when visiting Hawaii in the summer.

2回目のサンセットクルーズ。日本から予約していきました。人気があるようで、現地予約では、とれないことも。
トイレも綺麗ではないですが、一応あります。クルーに尋ねると教えてくれます。船酔いが心配な方は、事前に酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。
冬は、サンセットは少し寒いカナと思うので夏場にハワイを訪れた時のmustです。

Good food, entertainment & of course the view! Beautiful!

A great way to ensure a good view of the sunset and fireworks.A bit of a wait at the start and problems with me not producing a receipt, despite them reassuring me prior that it wouldnt matter.

On the second day of our honeymoon in Hawaii, we participated in this cruise. There was one other Japanese couple besides us. As mentioned in the reviews, there were many foreign participants. Some even brought along their 0-year-old children!

The Mai Tai served was incredibly delicious! However, I was worried about the restroom situation, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked... If only the restrooms were properly managed! I think it would have been an outstanding cruise.

ハワイへの新婚旅行の２日目にこちらのクルーズに参加しました。
日本人は私たちの他にもう一組。
口コミ通り外国人の参加者が多かったです。
中には0歳時のお子ちゃま連れも！

サーブされたマイタイはめちゃくちゃおいしかったです！
ただトイレの心配が先立ち、あまり頂けなかったのが残念……。
トイレさえちゃんとあれば！
文句なしのクルーズだったと思います。

When our original fireworks sail was canceled, we were told this sail would be comparable. However, when the confirmation was sent it clearly stated we would not see the fireworks regularly scheduled on Friday evenings since we would be ashore before the fireworks began. We were devastated. BUT... much to our surprise and NOT mentioned on line or the confirmation/voucher documents, we sailed amidst the local sailboat club's Friday sunset "race". It was absolutely breathtaking to sail with several other boats in the sunset. The crew make some awesome Maitai's too! Enjoy!!!

Our guide, Clifton, was great. He was knowledgable and very friendly. He was quick with a joke or light comment to keep the hot, sunny day light and fun.
The cultural center was well kept and full of beautiful and informative displays.
We enjoyed the entertainment and the food at the luau and "Ha" was beautiful. The dancing was amazing.

The beauty of the catamaran, where you can feel close to the ocean, was something I experienced last year when I was lucky enough to encounter sea turtles and dolphins during the daytime. This year, I joined to see the beautiful sunset. When we set sail, there were many clouds, and I worried whether we would be able to see the sunset, but soon it cleared up, and we enjoyed about two hours of sailing. The scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head changing with the light of the sunset, the endlessly deep blue sea, and the breathtaking beauty of the sunset shining even more brightly at dusk were all unforgettable. Although we were the only Japanese on the catamaran, which felt completely foreign, we shared the emotion of the beautiful sunset and took photos together, feeling the goodness of peace despite our different backgrounds. (We had visited Pearl Harbor during the day.) Drinks were free, with unlimited Mai Tais and soft drinks. (I brought snacks purchased at ABC Store.) While the foreign guests seemed fine, it was quite chilly on the water, and I was glad I brought a long-sleeve shirt. (If I participate again, I plan to bring socks as well.) The crew spoke only English, so I didn't quite understand the explanation about the restroom... It seemed like you had to open the lid and go down to use it. (We followed the advice from reviews and used the restroom just before boarding.) By the time the sunset was over and we returned to the Sheraton beach, everything around us was dyed pink, creating a beautiful memory that felt like a dream. There was a box for tips when disembarking, so I think it's a good idea to bring a little money.

海を近くに感じられるカタマラン号の良さは，昨年昼間にホヌやイルカに出会うというラッキーもあって，経験済みでした。今年は，美しい夕陽を見たいと参加しました。出航時は雲が多く，夕陽は見られるかしらと心配しましたが，ほどなく晴れ，二時間ばかりのセーリングを楽しみました。夕陽に照らされて刻々と変わっていくワイキキやダイアモンドヘッド等の風景，どこまでも碧く藍色の海，そして日の入り時に一層まばゆく輝く夕陽の美しさ。日本人は，私達だけという完全アウェイ状態のカタマラン号の中でしたが，人種は違っても，美しい夕陽に共に感動したり，写真を取り合ったりと平和の良さもしみじみ感じました。（昼間，パールハーバーを訪れていたので。）飲み物はFreeドリンク。マイタイ，ソフトドリンク飲み放題。（ABCストアで買ったおつまみ持参しました。）外国の方達は平気そうでしたが，海上はとても肌寒く，長袖持参していて良かったです。（次回参加することがあれば，靴下も持って行くつもりです。）クルーの方達は英語のみなので，トイレの説明をされたようですが，よく分からず・・・。どうやら蓋を開けて下に行って用を足していました。（私達は，口コミのアドバイス通りに，乗船間際にトイレを済ませておきました。）夕陽が沈み，シェラトンの浜辺に帰る頃は，辺り一面ピンク色に染まり，夢のような美しい思い出になりました。下船時にチップを入れる箱がありました。少しのお金を持参されるのが良いかなと思います。

My wife and I have taken two Hawaiian dinner cruises in the past. This was our first dinner sail. At first we were concerned about the size of the boat compared to the number of people waiting to board, but we quickly realized that there was room for everyone. If you are wanting a choreographed dinner show, this is not the activity for you. This was a fun, relaxing sunset/fireworks sail. The crew was very nice, and walked around to check on the guests to make sure they were doing alright and even gathered up the guests' garbage. This was appropriate for families, couples, and groups. The crew even cast out two fishing lines to see if they could catch anything during the evening and caught a fish on one of the lines. We drove from the North Shore to go on the dinner sail, and it was well worth the drive. Parking was convenient and reasonable. I would recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before check in to get a close parking spot. The only thing I would suggest would be to serve a dessert option without nuts, as some people do not like them or have nut allergies. I would definitely recommend this activity and would do it again on our next Hawaiian vacation!

What a great way to spend a Hawaiian sunset!
Capt Jake and Travis made sure we enjoyed our cruise.
Dinner at the Shorebird was good, Friday night fireworks and Karaoke was a bonus

I enjoyed surfing in the morning and participated in the evening, so I was able to use my time effectively. The bus had the air conditioning turned down partway, which made it comfortable, and I arrived while I was sleeping. The steak for the meal was delicious. I was able to see the show from the second row, which was impressive and great. At the end, I shook hands with the show staff. I couldn't finish the fruit-flavored ice cream that was handed out along the way because I had eaten so much during the meal, so I left some behind.

They emphasized that the buses for going and returning were different, but there were so many buses that it was difficult to find mine. However, when I asked the staff, they quickly told me where to go.

午前中はサーフィンを楽しみ、夕方からの参加だったので、時間を有意義に使えました。バスは途中でエアコンを弱めてもらって、快適だったので眠っている間に到着しました。食事はステーキが美味しかったです。ショーは2列目で見られたので、迫力があって、良かったです。最後にはショーのスタッフと握手しました。途中で配られるフルーツ入りのアイスクリームは、食事を目一杯食べていたせいで食べきれず、残してしまいました。
行きと帰りのバスが違う事を強調してもらっていましたが、バスの台数が非常に多く探すのは大変です。でも、係員に尋ねたら、すぐに教えてくれました。

Really enjoyed the sail - is the right amount of time and a great way to see Waikiki. Our daughter enjoyed going over the waves and watching sailing in action. Only problem was the on board music. Loud 60/70s rock music - what a way to spoil a peaceful sail! Got to be a better playlist out there for sailing - or how about listening to the waves?!

This year, I chose a different Mai Tai catamaran than the one I rode last year. The departure location was a bit hard to find, as it was behind the Sheraton Waikiki, but fortunately, the people I shared the ride with, including some foreigners, were all very nice. We had a great time taking pictures together and enjoying each other's company. I definitely want to do this again when I come back to Waikiki.

今年は昨年乗ったのとちがうこのマイタイカタマラン号をチョイスしました。出発場所はシェラトンワイキキの裏側とちょっと分かりにくかったのですが、幸いかどうかわかりませんが、乗りあった人たちが、外人の方も含め非常に良い方たちばかりで、みんなで和気あいあいと写真を撮り合ったりと非常に楽しい時間を過ごせました。またワイキキに来たら必ずオプションしたいと思います。

We vacationed in Hawaii about four years ago, and the dinner cruise we went on then suffered in comparison to this one. The food could have been better, but the overall experience was fantastic. The crew was extremely polite and funny, the food was decent, and the view was amazing. I got beautiful pictures of the island, ocean, sunset, and fireworks. We were even able to spot dolphins a couple of times during the cruise. Unlike the other cruise we have been on, we were able to walk around the boat and did not have to stay inside the cabin the whole time (if you did not want to). We could sit in the fresh air and enjoy the view rather than watching from a window. I highly recommend this dinner cruise.

Aloha! Service and product were as expected and promised. A very sweet young lady greeted us at our gate as we exited the walkway. She held a sign with our names and came happily towards us as if she knew who we were before we said, she then helped us get to baggage claim. I surprised my son with this lei greeting. Leis were very fresh and beautiful. A great way to start your Hawaiian vacation! Highly recommended! Mahalo!

My partner and me really enjoyed on this cruise. Beautiful dinner, very helpful friendly crew and could see romantic sunset. I have joined this cruise 3rd times. every time never have any disappoint!! We are middle age couple. this cruise is great for family, girls group, boys group, big group, young people and old people everyone as well!!

My wife and I had a great time on the sunset cruise. Made some great new friends form Germany and Australia, and the drinks kept comin'! We would recomment this one to anyone looking for fun on the water. It's a little more than some others, but that helps keep the kids away. If you are looking for a booze cruise without the screaming children, this is the one!

So pretty !
My family enjoyed wearing them for several Hawaiian
Days

it was my first time went on the dinner cruise since I live in Hawaii for 20 years, I really enjoy the steak and loster dinner, the workers were very friendly and helpful, that made me feel like I was having a family dinner with my family. The manager name Joey especially came serveral times to visit us and made sure everything was okay, we have a great time in Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise!!!

The main purpose of this trip was to finally see the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, which I had to sadly forgo during my last visit to Hawaii due to not being able to make a reservation.

Among all the luau shows I've seen, this one had the content I wanted to see the most, and the dancing was wonderful. (I personally take hula lessons, so I wanted to see the dancers up close and observe their movements and steps!)

Typically, when comparing the ratio of hula to Tahitian dance in luau shows, there tends to be more Tahitian. However, this show had a higher proportion of hula (both Kahiko and Auana), making it a must-see for hula dancers. The outdoor setting, with Diamond Head and the ocean as the backdrop, was also fantastic.

I would love to go again! However, since the interactions and story are presented in English, a good command of the language is essential...

前回、ハワイに行った際に予約が取れず、泣く泣く断念したロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーを見に出かけるのが、今回の旅の１番の目的でした。
今まで見てきたルアウショーの中で一番、自分自身が見たかった内容で踊りも素晴らしかったです。（自分自身がフラを習っており、ダンサーの踊る姿やステップを踏む姿が間近で見たかったのです！）

普通、ルアウショーだとフラとタヒチアンの割合を比較するとタヒチアンの方が多いのですが、こちらはフラの割合（カヒコ・アウアナ）が高く、フラダンサーには必見な内容だと思います。
屋外で、かつダイヤモンドヘッドと海を背景なんて、ロケーションも素晴らしかったです。
また見に行きたいと思います！
しかしながら…英語で会場のやり取りやストーリーが展開されるので、語学力が必須かと。。。

Delightful evening sail with an open bar. It was FUN and a gorgeous sail. Loved the crew. Great job guys!
