All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I had wanted to go on the Mai Tai Catamaran since last year. It departs right in front of the Sheraton where I was staying. The two skippers were really enthusiastic and it was a lot of fun. There were three groups of Japanese participants, including a baby. The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful.

去年から行きたかったマイタイカタマラン号。宿泊していたシェラトンの真ん前から出航します。スキッパーの二人がノリノリで楽しかったです。
日本人は3組参加。赤ちゃんもいました。サンセットは息を呑む美しさでした。

Best Luau!! Throughly enjoyed entertainment and food was delicious!

The Japanese staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy my time there comfortably. It was wonderful to see them treating the children of the family I was with with such care!

However, there were some aspects that might be a bit challenging for shy Japanese people like me. Once we arrived, we had to find our own activities, like making bracelets with leaves, stenciling, taking photos, playing games, and drinking alcohol. If you don't actively seek out what you want to do, you might end up feeling lost about what to do next. So, it might be better to join with a mindset of wanting to actively enjoy your time in Hawaii! I think there are others like me who might feel a bit overwhelmed when first thrown into that situation.

The food was also suited to Japanese tastes, and the dance and music allowed us to enjoy a relaxed Hawaiian atmosphere, which was great! Thank you very much!!

日本人のスタッフの方がとても親切でとても気持ちよく利用できました。
ご一緒したご家族のお子さんにも丁寧に接していて素敵でした！

ただ、シャイな私のような日本人にはハードルが高い部分もありました。
現地に到着したらご飯まで各自、葉っぱでブレスレットを作ったり、ステンシル？、写真撮影、ゲーム、お酒を飲むなど自分でやりたいことを見つけてやっていかないと時間を持て余すし何をしていいんだろうってなってしまいます。笑
なのでハワイに来たし積極的に楽しむぞ！って心を持って参加してもらった方がいいかもしれません！初見であの場に放り込まれたら(°_°)ってなる方も私のように居るかと思います笑

ご飯も日本人の口に合っていますし、ダンスや音楽もゆるーくハワイが味わえてよかったです！
ありがとうございました！！

The fireworks lasted about 5 to 10 minutes, but they were beautiful to watch. The night view was also stunning. The staff brought drinks to us when we called out, making it easy to enjoy. There are restrooms available, but I recommend using the restroom before boarding the boat, as the ones on the boat are not ideal. The meeting point was hard to find just by looking at the paper, and I got a bit lost and flustered. I suggest allowing plenty of time and asking people for directions. I think it would be even more enjoyable if the boat could increase its speed while moving. I imagined a more leisurely experience while taking in the same scenery.

花火は、5分？10分ぐらいでしたが、見れてキレイでした。夜景もキレイでした。お酒は、声をかけて運んでくださるので、飲みやすかったです。トイレは、ありますが、船の中のトイレは、使わないで事前にトイレに行っておくことをおすすめします。集合場所は、紙を見ただけでは、わからず、迷いあせりました。時間に余裕をもって、人に聞きながら行くことをおすすめします。船のスピードを上げて移動してもらえるとさらに楽しいかなと思いました。同じ景色をのんびり見るイメージです。

It was more enjoyable to see it in person than to watch it on YouTube. On the way back, there was a service where you could take photos with the performers, which was also a lot of fun. The Royal Hawaiian Center is located in the heart of Waikiki, making it very convenient to get to and from. There were videos, and the music and dance were enjoyable to watch. The fire performances were also amazing.

ユーチューブで見るより、実際にみた方が楽しかったです。帰りに、出演者の方々と写真が撮れるというサービスがあり、それもとても楽しかったです。ロイヤルハワイアンセンターはワイキキの中心にあり、行き帰りもすごく楽でした。映像もあり、音楽や踊りも楽しく見れました。火を使ったパフォーマンスもすごかったです。

Educational, fun, and awe inspiring views all around this North Shore Eco Tour of the 10,000 acre ranch. Ryan was knowledgeable, showing us all of the different flora and wild boar trails, and went out of his way to provide extra help for me getting in and out of the vehicle and in and out of the water. Had a great time at the "playground" being the only participant to fall completely off my seat! What a great time it was bouncing around the property and basking in nature's beauty.

This time, I purchased from Veltra because there was a discount coupon. If there is no coupon, it's cheaper to buy on-site using coupons like those found in free papers. Also, for seniors, even at regular price, it's cheaper on-site.

今回はベルトラの割引クーポンがあったので、ベルトラから購入しました。クーポンがない場合には、フリーペーパーについているようなクーポンを利用して現地で購入したほうが安いです。
また、シニアのかたは定価でも、現地のほうが安いです。

We chose Chief’s Luau for our honeymoon and it was one of the best moments of our trip. Chief made sure we laughed all the time and got impressed by the outstanding performance. Definetly worth it and we are sure we will go back.

Went on this sunset cruise with my wife on our honeymoon and gotta say it was definitely a highlight! Big Ryan was super cool too

Exceptional cruise! Great service; friendly staff; fantastic entertainment; overall experience was outstanding!!! Highly recommend!!

It wax a excellent all day your.
Thd Dole pineapple tour was only gor thd morning. At the end of Dole tourr we were a pineapple each!! We an awesome lunch by thd beach and visited local shops and pints of interest.

Our guide was very friendly and informative.

Wrestling would recommend this tour

The people operating the cruise made it fantastic! I wouldn’t think any other sunset sail would be as good as what these three gentlemen did. Would recommend to everyone.

The show was great. It highlights the cultures of different Polynesian groups. We sign up for a tour guide inside the cultural center. It helps us schedule our activities for the whole day stay over there. The tour guides are students from their university. They are amazing. I can recommend this tour for families. The dinner buffet is sumptuous.

The park was a bit confusing, but the show in the end of the night was awesome!

What a great way to end off our Oahu trip! Mahalo to Mauka Luau!!

Fun evening, lots of different things to do and the show was top notch!

A wonderful event that my husband and kiddos all loved- a memory made together!

Perfect experience, exactly what I pictures + more!

It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.

Bring your family, all ages have a wonderful time, and there is plenty of different food choices!

The night was ran very smooth. Don't be fooled by its connection to a waterpark as we were worried of the authenticity, but they blew us away!

The upgraded cruise was well worth it for us, the food was divine!

Despite the weak yen and high prices in Hawaii, I wanted to experience something unique that I wouldn't normally get to do, so I found this tour.

At the designated meeting point, we were greeted on time by a large black Mercedes (with five rows of seats in the back). Since it was evening, there was a bit of traffic, but we arrived at the location in about an hour. The gate opened automatically, and we drove further to the venue where we were welcomed. At this point, the sense of something special and anticipation was building.

There was about an hour before the show and dinner started, so we had the freedom to stroll through the beautifully maintained garden and enjoy temporary seal tattoos (which can be easily removed with water and rubbing, but they last a while, so you can enjoy the afterglow even after the tour). There were also traditional Hawaiian games available, but participation was not forced, and we chose to spend our time wandering around.

When the show began, we enjoyed live singing, hula, and fire dancing. I think there were about five to six hula songs alone. At one point, there was an opportunity for those interested to take a simple hula lesson and dance together. On the day we participated, there happened to be a local group joining us (I later heard this is rare), and almost everyone enjoyed it. I think those who are willing to try things they don't usually do will have the most fun.

The fire dancing after dark was truly impressive.

As for the meal, it was delicious, as expected from Michel's supervision. The appetizers and salad were particularly moving. The main course was very filling, but I thought it would be better to reduce the amount of meat and enjoy it with sauce (I also wanted to try it with salt and pepper).

Time flew by, and after about two hours from the start of the meal, it was time to head home. On the way back, perhaps due to the lack of traffic, we arrived in just a little over 30 minutes.

Overall, I was very satisfied; I think this is a valuable tour that you can't experience around Waikiki.

円安&物価高のハワイですが、どうせなら普段体験できないことを！ということでこちらのツアーにたどり着きました。

指定の集合場所に、黒い大きなベンツ（後部シートが5列もあった）で時間通りにお出迎え。夕方の時間なので少し渋滞しますが、1時間ほどで現地到着。門扉が自動で開き、建物までさらに車で進み、会場でお出迎えを受けます。この時点で特別感＆期待感が高まります。
ショー&食事の開始まで1時間ほどあり、きれいに手入れされた庭の散策、シールタトゥ（濡らして擦れば取れるので安心、でもシャワーくらいではすぐにはは取れないので、ツアー後もしばらく余韻が楽しめます）など、自由に選んで過ごします。ハワイ伝統ゲームもありましたが、強制されるでもなく、私たちは散策で過ごしました。

ショーが始まると、生歌＆フラ、ファイヤーダンスが沢山楽しめます。フラだけでも5-6曲あったと思います。
途中、希望者で簡単なフラレッスン＆一緒に踊る機会もあり、私たちの参加日はたまたまローカルの団体さんも一緒だった（後で聞きましたが、珍しいそうです）のもあり、ほぼ全員で楽しみました。せっかくだから、普段やらないことにもチャレンジできる方の方が楽しめると思います。
暗くなってからのファイヤーダンスも圧巻です。

お食事は、さすがはミッシェルズ監修、とてもおいしかったです。特に前菜とサラダは感動もの。メインはボリューム満点ですが、お肉の量を減らしてソースを付けながら（塩コショウでも食べたかった）の方がいいなと思いました。

あっという間に時間が過ぎ、食事開始から2時間ほどで帰宅の時間に。帰りは渋滞無いせいか、30分ちょっとで到着しました。

総じて大満足、ワイキキ周辺では体験できない貴重なツアーだと思います。

I went with children who aren't very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they had a great time. In addition, there are hula performances and fire shows, so I think it's a good show! Also, at the end, you can take photos with the performers and have conversations with them!

エルビスやマイケルをあまり知らない子供と行きましたがとても楽しんでいました。
それ以外にもフラやファイヤーショーなども見られるので良いショーだと思います！
また帰り際には出演者さんと一緒に写真が撮れ会話も交わせます！

Although the weak yen has resulted in considerable expenses, since I was going to board anyway, I booked a 5-star experience with fireworks on Friday and a course meal.

From the moment I boarded, I was guided to a special floor via the elevator, and the dinner set was nicely arranged at my seat, creating an excellent atmosphere.

Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and after the luxurious meal, there was a dinner show, followed by the fireworks viewed from the ship, which were breathtaking. Everyone moved to the side where the fireworks could be seen, making the boat feel like it was tilting a bit (laughs).

It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend the 5-star experience!

円安でかなりの出費にはなりますが、どうせ乗船するなら、金曜日の花火付きで、コース料理も食べられる5スターを予約しました。

乗船する時から、エレベーターでの特別フロアへのご案内、席にはディナーセットがきちんと用意され、雰囲気も抜群。

サンセットはもちろんのこと、豪華なお食事の後はディナーショー、そして船上から見る花火は、圧巻でした。みんな花火が見える方に移動するので、気持ち船が傾いているような(笑)

ハワイ観光の良い思い出になりました。
5スター、おすすめです！

I was very excited to go on this activity, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. When you arrive at check-in, they will not validate your parking (which is the opposite of the information you get in your confirmation email) so expect to pay $15 for parking and not $4. Next, they will take some pictures in front of a wall mural before you go into the boat. They don't give you a choice of whether you want to be photographed or not and they do not tell you that the pictures will cost $50 if you want them. The pictures actually came out nice so I asked if I could just buy one and they said that was not possible...way to be accommodating to your guests. The time on the cruise is way too long and they could really use a host that sounds excited to be there. The singer was fine but keeps the energy too mellow, you could see that everyone was ready to get off the cruise after an hour. I specifically chose this type of boat expecting that it would be more stable and I wouldn't get seasick but I did. I'd say if you really want a sunset cruise experience, I'd try out a catamaran since the vibe on those looks a lot more lively and friendly than on this bigger vessel...The best part of the cruise was of course the views (the bartender and server were nice as well.)

It was a beautiful evening on the ocean. The sunset was hidden behind clouds but you could see the rays from the sun peaking thru. The food was flavorful and an abundance of it. With a tremendous variety to choose from.

Eight years ago, my daughter, who was in elementary school, said she wanted to see it again, so we participated. Unlike last time, we had a buffet meal before the show started. I think the content of the show was almost the same as before. We enjoyed the look-alike show, hula, and fireman show, among other things.

8年前に小学生だった娘がまた見たいと言うので、参加しました、前回と違いショーが始まる前にビュッフェでお食事、ショーの内容は前回とほぼ同じような感じだったと思います。そっくりさんショーとフラやファイアーマンショーなど楽しめました。

The person who picked us up was very gentlemanly, which made me excited, but one other group of participants did not arrive at the pickup location, and since we got there five minutes early, we ended up waiting over 15 minutes to depart. This isn't the organizer's fault, but it gave me a bad feeling from the start... and the van we were in was quite noisy.

When we arrived, we were guided to an outdoor area with nothing around, just some simple chairs and tables set up. I believe the venue is an important element of dinner experiences.

We were told to "enjoy the activities" while waiting for the meal, but there were no exciting activities, just taking photos, and we ended up with too much free time. Wouldn't it be better to set the pickup for a later time?

As soon as we arrived, my friend got bitten by a mosquito. When we spoke to the staff, they mentioned that there are many mosquitoes in the area. It would have been better if they had announced this upon arrival, even though insect repellent spray was provided.

The hula show was enjoyable, and I was satisfied with the meal, but when it comes to whether I would repeat this or recommend it to friends, unfortunately, the answer is "NO." For this price, I believe there are better options near Waikiki.

I have given a critical review, but I hope that various aspects can be improved so that it becomes a tour I would want to participate in again (*^^*).

お迎えの方はとても紳士的だったのでワクワクしたのですが、ピックアップ場所でもう1組の参加者が来られず、私たちはピックアップの5分前に到着していたので、結局15分以上出発を待つことになりました。これは主催者側の問題ではないですが、出足から嫌な予感…そしてお迎えの車(バン)の中は、ガタガタとうるさかったです。
到着して案内されたところは、何にもない野外で、簡易な椅子とテーブルが並べられたところでしたが、施設もディナーの大切な要素だと思います。
食事までの時間は「アクティビティを楽しんでください」とのことでしたが、心躍るアクティビティはなく、写真を撮って終わり、時間を持て余してしまいました。ピックアップをもっと遅めの時間で設定された方が良いのでは？
到着後すぐに友達は蚊に刺されてしまいました。スタッフさんに話すと「この辺は蚊が多い」とのこと。虫除けスプレーも用意されていましたが、到着した時点でアナウンスされた方が良いのではないでしょうか。
フラショーは楽しく食事とともに満足でしたが、リピートあるいは友達に紹介するかといえば残念ながら、「ＮＯ」です。このお値段でこの内容であれば、ワイキキ近くでももっと満足できるお店があると思いました。
辛口の評価になりましたが、いろんなところが改善されて「また参加したい」というツアーになることを期待しています(*^^*)

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise was amazing! My group had an awesome time, food was delicious, show was amazing as well. I was hoping for an actual Luau with the fire show. The service was great, very welcoming. Highly recommended!
