All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

It was cloudy, and there was a bit of rain, but as we set off, a rainbow appeared, and thanks to the cheerful captain and staff, it turned out to be a fun cruising experience!

くもりで、雨もぱらついてましたが、出発と、同時に虹も出て陽気なキャプテンとスタッフの方のおかげで楽しいクルージングとなりました！

It was an incredibly fun time for just $39.

As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht accelerated further, the passengers, feeling a bit tipsy from the splashes of water, were at their peak excitement, cheering and laughing. Regardless of nationality or group, everyone was joyfully acting like children.

By the time we returned to the original beach, the sunset was coloring the western sky, and I couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful memories of my trip to Hawaii.

たった39＄という設定が信じられないくらい楽しいひと時でした。

ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎてヨットがさらに加速すると、上がる波しぶきを浴びてほろ酔い気分の乗客もキャーキャーと最高潮。国籍もグループも関係なくみんな子供のようにはしゃいでいました。

もとのビーチに帰る頃には夕陽が西の空を染めて、思わずしんみりと楽しかったハワイ旅行を思い返していました。

It was so much fun. As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht picked up speed, the passengers, slightly tipsy from Mai Tais, splashed water and squealed with delight, laughing together beyond groups and nationalities—truly a scene fitting for a heavenly island.

By the time we returned to the beach, the sun was painting the western sky, and I reflected on the enjoyable trip to Hawaii. I think the emotions will be even more profound if I board on the last day.

とにかく楽しいです。ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎヨットも速度を増すと、マイタイでほろ酔い気分の乗客が水しぶきを浴びてキャーキャーと騒ぎ、グループや国籍を超えてみんなで笑う姿はまさに天国の島にふさわしい光景でした。

ビーチに戻る頃には太陽が西の空を染め、楽しかったハワイ旅行が思い返されます。最終日に乗れば、旅情もひとしおかと思います。

You often see Polynesian shows and fire dances on the southern islands, but the show by the poolside was definitely different in terms of intensity, number of performers, and scale.

With a large stage that can accommodate around 3,000 people, over 100 performers take turns telling a single story through dance and song. The highlight was the fire dance, which was so powerful that the heat of the flames reached the audience.

On the tour before the show, which visited the islands of Polynesia, a Japanese guide carefully explained each culture, making it a valuable experience in its own right.

ポリネシアンショーとか、ファイアーダンスは南の島でよく見ますが、プールサイドでやるショーとは迫力、人数、規模が断然違いました。

３千人ぐらい入る大型のステージで100人以上の出演者が入れ代り立ち代り一つの物語をダンスと歌で綴っていきます。圧巻は、ファイヤーダンス。客席まで炎の熱さが届くど迫力でした。

ショーの前のポリネシアの島々を尋ねるツアーでは、日本人ガイドさんが丁寧にそれぞれの文化を説明してくれて、これはこれで貴重な体験でした。

It takes a long time to get there, so it's best to go on a day when you have time and nothing to do. The food is really terrible. There's nothing to eat. The show was very good!

とにかく行くまでに時間がかかるので何もすることなくて時間がある日にいくのがベスト。ご飯がとにかくひどい。食べるものがない。ショーはとてもよかったです！

I highly recommend this tour for those who are proficient in English or currently studying it! It was the tour where I felt the most like I was abroad, with mostly Westerners participating. It was delightful to enjoy the beautiful sunset with people from around the world. The music playing added to the charm! I found myself enjoying the tunes of Michael Jackson and the Beach Boys, and I ended up drinking a bit too much and getting a little tipsy. Haha!

英語が堪能な方や、勉強中の方に特におすすめ！欧米人がほとんどのツアーで、海外に来た感が一番感じられたツアーでした。美しいサンセットを、世界の方々と堪能できて心地よかったです。音楽がかかっていることも魅力！Michael Jacksonや、Beachboys、気持ちよくてついつい飲みすぎて酔いすぎました。笑

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was amazing! There was probably just one other group of Japanese people with us. We kept getting refills on our drinks too.

海からみるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、最高でした！　日本人は私たちとあと一組だったかな？　飲み物もどんどんおかわりしていましたよ。

The Polynesian tour was great. This was our 2nd time going, but our grandson's first. He had a great time. We also upgrade with tour and our guide was fabulous,he knew his history of the islands. The luau and the food was good, we didn't try any poa. The students there serving were very helpful and good service. The best of all was the night show, loved it. Bus was on time. Our tour guide made it interesting on our way to the Polynesian Cultural center. Great tour to take. Though it was a long day, it's worth it.

In November 1979, I visited Hawaii on my honeymoon and saw a Polynesian dance show. This time, I participated in the Twilight Standard Plan with my spouse, as both families were visiting for our son's Hawaiian wedding. Although my English isn't great, I was moved by the impressive and easy-to-understand dance show. The final fire dance was the best.

Unfortunately, the buffet-style meal was not particularly delicious, and the one-way trip took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which was quite far.

1979年11月、新婚旅行で訪れたハワイで見たポリネシアン・ダンスショーを、今回、息子のハワイアンウエディングに両家親族ともども訪れてたことから、懐かしくてトワイライト・スタンダードプランに夫婦で参加しました。英語はだめですが、見応えのあるわかりやすいダンスショーに感動しました。最後の火の踊りは最高です。
残念なのは、決しておいしいと言えないバイキングスタイルの食事と片道1時間30分と遠いことですかね。

I went to enjoy the meal and the show. The show was really great, and I was moved! The dinner was a buffet style, but there weren't many options, which was a bit disappointing...

The tour staff only takes you to the park, and there is no accompaniment inside the park, so you have free time. However, there are staff members who speak Japanese inside the park, so those who don't understand English can feel at ease.

食事とショーを楽しみに行きました。
ショーはとっても良くて、感動しました！
ディナーがビュッフェタイプだったのですが、あまり種類が無く
ちょっと期待はずれ。。。

ツアースタッフはパークに送るだけで、パーク内の同伴は無く、自由行動になります。
ですが、パーク内は日本語が話せるスタッフがいるので、英語が分からない方でも安心ですね。

This was my second time participating. Since it was the longest day of the year, we made several trips back and forth off the coast of Waikiki while waiting for the sunset. Thank you to the best crew! It was even more enjoyable than the last time. This is an essential event for a trip to Hawaii.

今回２回目の参加でした。一年で一番日の長い時期のため、サンセットを待ってワイキキ沖を何往復もしてくれました。最高のクルーに感謝！前回以上に楽しい時間となりました。ハワイ旅行に欠かせないイベントとです。

The Aha 'Aina luau provides the ultimate luxury luau experience in the comfort and proximity of Waikiki. Located in the famous Pink Palace of the Pacific, Aha 'Aina doesn't disappoint. The views and outdoor seating are a beautiful backdrop to the evening. The meal is served with musical entertainment and a historical introduction of how the guitar and ukulele were introduced to the islands. This is a great luau for those who love great music and tasty food! The table service is wonderful and the food is excellent. The history of Waikiki comes alive on stage as the dancers take you through time from when Kamehameha united the islands, to the Royal Hawaiian hotel's first opening in 1927. Get ready for a treat, because this is not only a feast for your taste buds, but your eyes and ears as well!

Staff was efficient and courteous. The trip was well worth the time and money.

I never thought I would have the same experience after reading stories about others who had issues with their arrangements. However, when I arrived on the day of my cruise, I was told that my reservation had not been made. The staff only spoke English, and it was a situation where someone who struggles with English would likely give up.

Although I'm not very good at English, I had planned my travel schedule based on the cruise reservation, so I desperately negotiated. I had to change my plans, but I was able to switch to a cruise two days later. In the end, it turned out well, but it's really disappointing to have such issues in a place where communication is difficult. The cruise itself was pleasant, and I'm glad I had the experience.

ここで、手配ができていなかったという体験談を読んでいてまさか自分が同じ経験をするとは思っていなかったけど、当日時間通りに行くと、なんと予約がされていない、と言われてしまいました。相手は現地の英語しか話さないスタッフで英語が苦手な人はまずあきらめてしまう状況でした。
私は英語が得意ではないけれど、その日にクルーズの予約をしているうえでの旅行のスケジュールを立てていたので、必死で交渉しました。
予定を変えないといけなかったけど、なんとか２日後のクルーズに変更することができました。結果オーライだったからよかったけど言葉が満足に通じないところでこういうことは本当に残念です。クルーズ自体は気持ちよく、体験してよかったと思えました。

Disappointed in our seats for the night show. We booked this so far in advanced and got lousy seats.

The rest of the facility was nice.

We had a great time, with a very attentive and fun crew, and the open bar was a real plus!

We are a couple who visits Hawaii for about two weeks every year. For dinner, we usually go to restaurants we always visit or those listed in coupon books, but I remembered how much we enjoyed the cocktail show at the Rock-a-Hula show two years ago, so this year we decided to upgrade and participate in the Green Room & Dinner. We were warmly welcomed by the staff with smiles at the VIP entrance and guided to the Green Room backstage, where we started with a welcome drink of champagne and light snacks. I remember spending a relaxing time while enjoying a fresh fruit platter. After a polite greeting from the manager, we had a great time taking photos with Lady Gaga. Then, the manager began a backstage tour, showing us the dressing rooms, costumes, and stage equipment that we wouldn't normally see, which left my wife very impressed! Meanwhile, I was thrilled to see her enjoying herself... feeling grateful for participating. The staff preparing for the show were friendly, exchanging casual greetings, and at the end, the manager took a commemorative photo on stage. After that, we were guided to our seats in the front row of the VIP area in the center of the stage! I was thrilled, and the Hawaiian gourmet dinner was beautifully presented, rivaling even top restaurants, with each dish being delicious. The aloha spirit welcomed guests without fail! I was once again impressed. The best entertainment unfolded on stage, with Elvis's fun talk bringing laughter and emotion, leaving me deeply moved. I believe that experiencing it firsthand will give you the true thrill more than reading my post. For those visiting Hawaii for the first time and returning guests... there is no doubt that all guests will receive wonderful hospitality and a fantastic stage. Among them, the Green Room Dinner & Show offers a five-star experience that exceeds cost performance.

毎年、２週間ほどハワイを訪問しているリピーター夫婦です。ディナーはいつも立ち寄っているレストランやクーポンブックに掲載されているレストランなどで済ませるのですが、２年前ロックアフラショーのカクテルショーに参加し大変エンジョイ出来たのを思い出し、今年はグレードアップでグリーンルーム＆ディナーに参加しました。VIPエントランスからスタッフの笑顔の歓迎を受け、バックステージにあるグリーンルームに案内され、ウエルカムドリンクのシャンパンと軽食でスタートしました。新鮮なフルーツの盛り合わせなど頂きながらゆったりとした時間が経っていったのを記憶しています。また、支配人から丁寧な挨拶の後、レディガガさんの登場で一緒に写真を撮ってもらったり楽しい時間を過ごしました。その後、支配人によるバックステージツアーが始まり普段見ることのできない楽屋や衣装、ステージ装置など案内と丁寧な説明に妻も大感激！その横で私は妻が楽しんでいる様子を見ながら・・・参加してよかったと感激？していました。ショーの準備をしているスタッフもフレンドリーで気軽に挨拶を交わし、最後はステージ上で支配人が記念撮影？その後客席に案内して頂きました。ステージ中央のVIP専用エリアの最前列！で感激、ハワイアングルメディナーは一流のレストランにも負けないくらいの素晴しい盛り付けで一品一品美味しい料理でした。抜かりなくゲストを歓迎するアロハスピリッツ！またまた感激。ステージ上では最高のエンタテイメントが繰り広げられ、プレスリーの楽しいトークで笑いあり感動あり、またまた大感激。私の投稿で読むより実際に体験していただければ本当の感激を実感して頂けると思います。ハワイ訪問が初めての方、リピーターの方々・・・すべてのゲストに素敵なおもてなしと素晴しいステージであることは間違いありません。その中でもグリーンルーム・ディナー＆ショーはコストパフォーマンス以上の体験をさせてくれる五つ星のツアーです。

Wow oh wow! I took my beautiful family out on my husband and my favorite sunset cruise! The service, music, and overall experience were incredible! What a great way to start off our trip. We have used this company several times and highly recommend this to others!

Really enjoyed the show! Food was...ok. Would recommend based on the entertainment factor.

Previously, I had an experience with Navatek's sunset cruise, and I didn't find it particularly special, so I hadn't planned to include a sunset cruise this time. However, I made a reservation because the price was low, it departed from Waikiki Beach, and it was my wife's first time in Hawaii.

The meeting point at the beach was just a few minutes from our hotel, which was convenient. Before 5:30 PM, I took off my sandals and boarded barefoot. I found a seat, and the crew started cheering as we set off. Occasionally splashed by the waves, we headed out while enjoying the view of the hotels lining the coastline, making our way past Diamond Head.

Along the way, we enjoyed drinks like Mai Tais and beer while feeling the wind all around us. The drinks were free and unlimited. I thought the Mai Tai might not have had alcohol in it because I didn't feel drunk at all, even after having several.

When the sails were raised and the engine was turned off, the only sounds were the waves cutting through the water and the wind. Standing on the side of the boat, I could see the passing scenery and feel the waves right at my feet, which was completely different from going on a large cruise ship and was truly enjoyable.

That day, there were many clouds, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. Perhaps because of that, we returned to the beach before sunset, which was a bit disappointing. We returned at 7 PM instead of the scheduled 7:30 PM. Since it was Friday, we stayed to watch the fireworks from Hilton, and it was nice that we secured a good spot, so an early return was actually beneficial.

The price was reasonable, and I would recommend it as long as the weather is good.

以前、ナバテックのサンセットクルーズの経験があり、そんなに特別な印象がなかったので今回当初の予定ではサンセットクルーズは入ってなかったのですが、料金が安いこと、ワイキキビーチから出ること、妻がハワイが初めてだったことで予約しました。
集合場所のビーチがホテルから数分だったので便利でした。
17時半前にサンダルを脱いで裸足で乗り込みました。適当に座り、船のクルーが雄たけびを上げ出発。
たまに波のしぶきを浴びながら沖に出て、海岸線に並ぶホテルを見ながらダイアモンドヘッドの更に先まで向かいます。
途中でマイタイやビールなどのドリンクを飲みながら風を全身に浴びて船は進みます。
ドリンクもフリーで飲み放題。マイタイはアルコールが入ってなかったんじゃないかと思うほど飲んでも全く酔わなかった。

帆を上げ、エンジンを切って風で進むと聞こえるのは波を切る音と風の音だけ。船のサイドに立ち、流れていく風景を見ながらすぐ足元に波を感じることができるのは大きなクルーズ船で行くのとは全く違い本当に気持ちが良い。

当日は雲が多く綺麗なサンセットは観れなかった。そのせいか日の入り前にビーチに戻ってしまった。そこが少し残念だった。予定の19時半ではなく19時だった。
金曜日だったのでヒルトンから上がる花火を見るために、そのまま宿泊していたリーフのビーチまで戻った。良い場所を確保できたので早目の帰港で良かったかな。

値段もリーズナブルだし、天気さえ良ければおススメです。

The young lady that delivered the leis met us as we exited the plane and arrived in the terminal. She was very friendly and offered to take our picture. The leis themselves were large, full leis that were very pretty. (A little heavy, due to the size.) Definitely worth it for my wife, who has put up with me for 20 years of marriage!

The leis were beautiful and lasted until we came home

I felt that waiting until it started was a bit of a waste of time. However, once the show began, it was great. Among them, Michael Jackson looked so much like the real thing with his mannerisms and gestures, and both his singing and dancing were excellent. "Over the Rainbow" was incredibly beautiful and moving. Lady Gaga also did her best. Elvis even came down to the audience to shake hands and throw out leis, which was a nice touch.

始まるまでに待ったされたのがチョット時間が勿体にいと感じました。でも、ショーが始まると良かったです。中でもマイケル、ジャクソンが段々見ているうちに本物の様に見える位癖とかしぐさがそっくりで歌も踊りも良かったです。オーバー、ザ、レインボーはすごく綺麗にはもって感動しました。レディー、ガガも頑張ってました。プレスリーも会場に下りてきて握手したりレイをかけたりサービス的でした。

Had a blast! Booze cruise all the way! Travis was our crew guy and he was awesome. Captain Terry was cool calm and collective and chillen the entire trip. Take a wind breaker jacket cuz it gets kinda chilly. Two thumbs up

I participated in the "Deluxe" course for the first time during the 50th anniversary campaign. The food was just okay, but the pineapple was very delicious since it was in season. The guide encouraged us to eat as soon as we arrived, and it was true that it gradually got crowded, leading to a line for entry.

I was able to watch the show from the fourth row, and the performers' energy was conveyed really well, making it a lot of fun. The final fire dance was also wonderful. The ice during the intermission was available for $5.

If it were a little closer to Waikiki...

50周年記念キャンペーンにて「デラックス」コースに初めて参加しました。
食事に関しては、まぁまぁでした。パイナップルは、旬のためたいへん美味しかったです。ガイドさんから到着したらすぐ食事するように促されましたが、確かにだんだん混んできて入場するのに行列になってました。

ショーは前から4列めで鑑賞でき、演者さんの迫力が伝わってきてたいへん楽しめました。ラストのファイヤーダンスも素晴らしかったです。
幕間のアイスは5ドルの有料でした。

もう少しワイキキに近ければ…

Great meal and entertainment during the dinner. Everything was so good, and those deserts, yum, yum! Then the show. Wow, you would have thought Elvis had stepped out of time to entertain us. The guy does a great job he has captured the mannerisms and voice of the King. Lady GaGa, made you go GaGa for her, so sexy and cute, and what a figure!
Michel Jackson, what can you say, Michel is Michel, from the gloved hand to the moon walk and shoes! Well worth the money for this show.

Beautiful cruise with great views. Fun crew and great atmosphere.

The views from the ocean were excellent and the people on the cruise as well as the staff were friendly and fun. The food was OK and the entertainment was good (I'm not a party person, so that is about the most that you will get out of me.) The most memorable thing was after dinner, when Dolphins were playing with the boat and putting on a show for us. The best view of the sunset was actually when we were docking at the harbor, at the very end of the cruise.

Our sunset catamaran cruise was very nice. We were promptly greeted and seated on time, offered our choice of beverages and entertained by both passengers and crew. The cruise itself was calm and uneventful providing an ideal view of the coastline and the sunset. Travis (crew) bent over backwards to ensure all had a positive experience!

I participated on the first night of my arrival in Hawaii. The final fire show was incredibly powerful and captivating. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I planned to immerse myself in the experience right from the first day, and it was definitely the right choice! There was a bit of time between when the venue opened and when the meal started, so I was hit by some drowsiness, but the food was very delicious, especially the meat.

ハワイ到着1日目の夜に参加しました。最後の火を使ったショーは最高に迫力があり見応えありました。ハワイが始めてだったこともあり、初日からハワイを感じられるように計画しましたが大正解でした♪会場してから食事が始まるまでに少し時間があったこともあり眠気に襲われてしまいましたが、食事もお肉がとても美味しかったです。
