All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.

Instead of having an expensive meal at a restaurant, this package, which is reasonably priced and includes a show, is the best option. It's just a short walk from Waikiki Beach, so you don't need transportation, making it even more cost-effective. "The Sin Elvis Presley" is really hilarious. You absolutely have to see it. "The Sin Michael Jackson" is a bit too overweight (laughs).

ヘタにレストランで高価な食事をするくらいなら、それよりお値段もお手頃でショーが見れるこのパックは最高です。
ワイキキビーチからすぐなので、送迎不要で歩いて行くとさらにハイＣＰ。
「シン・エルビス・プレスリー」めっちゃ笑えます。絶対見るべき。
「シン・マイケル・ジャクソン」は太りすぎです（笑）。

I wanted to see a show that was characteristic of Hawaii, but I preferred to have my meal separately, so I made a reservation here. The location is at the Royal Hawaiian Center, which was easily accessible and convenient. When I presented the voucher at the reception, they kindly guided me. The restrooms were clean, which was reassuring. You can enjoy the show while sipping on drinks. Payment for drinks is by credit card only. You can enjoy performances by Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators. The fire dance was thrilling. Taking a photo together at the end became a wonderful memory. The staff were all friendly, and I had a great time. They sometimes spoke to me in Japanese.

ハワイらしいショーも観たいけど、食事は別にとりたかったので、こちらを予約させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンターで、アクセス良く楽でした。受付にバウチャーを出すと快く案内してくれました。
トイレは清潔で、安心。
飲み物を楽しみながらショーを観れます。飲み物の支払いはクレカのみです。
マイケルジャクソンやプレスリーそっくりさんの歌を楽しめます。ファイヤーダンスはハラハラです。
最後に写真を一緒に撮れたのが、いい思い出になりました。
スタッフは皆さんフレンドリーで楽しめました。日本語で話しかけてくれることもあります。

Really great evening and full day as well. full of island culture!

Really eloquent set up, and a fun evening on vacation! Fun to be on the water compare to the nightly restaurants!

The stargazing event at Ko Olina in HAWAII was really great! ✨ Although the lights from the surrounding hotels made it a bit difficult to see some stars, the explanations about the stars were thorough. We got to use two telescopes: one high-precision telescope with electronic GPS and a regular one, and all participants took turns looking through them. The teacher also provided explanations while showing the stars on a PC screen. They spoke in broken Japanese, so families with children might find that the kids may not understand the English explanations. Japanese participants should keep this in mind when joining! Date of participation: August 12, 2023 (Friday).

HAWAIIで〜コーリナの星☆〜を見る会は
たいへん、よかったです✨※回りのホテルの光=電気と電灯が！？少し星の見えるのに気にはなりましたが？！星の説明
は丁寧にしてくれます…また望遠鏡も電子GPS付きの高精度なのと、普通の望遠鏡の２台を、参加者全員で交代で見ますし、PC画面上にも映してくれるので〜星の観察は、解説も交えて先生がしてくれます。※片言の日本語では〜話しをしてくれますが…家族でお子様連れ方は子供
さんは英語の説明は分からないかも？！
知れませんので、日本人の方はその旨を踏まえてご参加されて下さい！参加日:2023.08.12㈮〜

The show started with an authentic floor show, followed by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The duration of the show was just over an hour, and I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

Personally, I don't know many songs by Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson, so I wasn't sure how similar they were, but I felt that there were considerations in place to make it enjoyable even for those who aren't familiar, such as music videos and live footage playing on the screen in the background.

Since you can sit back and enjoy the floor show at a leisurely pace, I think this is a recommended optional tour for families.

本格的なフラーショーから始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンの順番でした。
ショーの時間は大体１時間強といったところで、飽きることなくショーを楽しむことが出来ました。

私自身、あまりエルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの曲を知らないので、どの程度似ているのか分からないところもありましたが、PVやライブ映像が後ろのスクリーンに流れる等、知らなくても楽しめる配慮がされているように感じました。

席に座ってゆっくりフラーショーなど楽しめるので、家族連れにおすすめのオプショナルツアーだと思います。

First, I enjoyed a buffet while watching hula. The food was very delicious, and I was satisfied. There were many dishes, and I ended up eating too much. There was also a simple hula lesson; I didn't participate, but I enjoyed watching.

After the meal, we moved to the venue to watch the show. The seats were not assigned, but the staff asked how many people were in our group and guided us. Since I was alone, I was shown to a seat in the fifth row from the front, which was available.

The content included hula and other performances, and it was very satisfying. After the show, there was a greeting session where they offered photos and autographs, which I thought was impressive!

まず、フラをみながらビュッフェを食べました。
お食事もとても美味しく、満足しました。品数も多くついつい食べすぎてしました。
簡単なフラのレッスンもあり参加はしませんでしたが、みて楽しめました。

食事の後は、会場に移動してショーを観覧しました。
席は指定ではないのですが、人数を聞かれてスタッフに案内されていました。私は1人だったので空いていた前から5列目の席に案内されました。

内容もフラとその他、満足感のある内容でした。
ショーの後もグリーティングなどがあり、写真やサインも対応していてすごいなぁと思いました笑

I recommend this experience because you can enjoy a sunset while cruising easily. Beer and Mai Tais are all-you-can-drink. However, there were no snacks available. There is also a restroom on board.

On the same catamaran, depending on the company, you may not be able to sit on the net at the front, but with Holokai Catamaran, you can. However, if you sit on the net, you will get wet, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. The kids especially enjoy it, but one child ended up shivering from being soaked at the end. If you don’t sit on the net or at the front, you won’t get wet.

Most of the staff do not speak Japanese. You need to fill out a consent form for everyone in advance online, but you can also do it at the reception on the day. However, it’s better to complete it online.

お手軽にクルージングしながらサンセットが見られるのでお勧めです。ビールやマイタイ等は飲み放題です。つまみになるスナック類等はありませんでした。トイレも付いてます。
同じカタマランでも会社によっては前方のネットに乗ることが出来ませんが、ホロカイカタマランは乗ることができます。ただしネットに乗ると濡れますので水着着用＆タオル持参は必須です。子供達は特に喜びますが、ズブ濡れになった子供が最後は寒くなって震えてました。ネット＆前方に乗らなければ濡れなかったです。
ほとんど日本語は通じません。事前にネットで全員の同意書の記入が必要ですが当日受付でも出来ます。ただしネットで済ました方が良いです。

I had seen several boats from the beach beforehand, so I knew their size, but I was most concerned about getting seasick from the rocking. However, that worry was completely unfounded.

The boat moved swiftly, cutting through the waves, and while it bounced up and down, it felt more like an attraction than anything that would make me feel sick.

We ventured far out to search for dolphins (which, if you're lucky, can be seen from the boat), and with unlimited drinks like Mai Tais, we could enjoy our beverages while on board. The staff were very attentive, checking in when our drinks were running low and skillfully maneuvering the boat, providing a comfortable service.

We headed back to shore a bit early, and my husband and I remarked how it was still bright even though it was sunset. However, we stayed on the water until the sun had fully set and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. I joined the tour on the same day spontaneously, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. It became a wonderful memory before returning home!

ビーチから事前に船を何隻か見ていたので、大きさは分かっておりましたが、一番気になっていた揺れる＝酔うのではないかと思っておりましたが、全くの杞憂でした。
勢いよく走り船は波を横切りざぶんざぶんと上下になりますが、アトラクションのような揺れで酔うことはなかったです。

ぐんと沖に出てイルカ探索をしたり（ラッキーだと船上から見えるそうです）、マイタイなど飲み放題でしたのでアルコールを楽しみながら船を楽しめます。スタッフの方は大変きびきび行動されており、飲み物がなくなりそうになると声をかけてくれたり、船を操縦したりと、居心地の良いサービスでした。

結構早めに岸に向かったので夫とはサンセットなのにまだ明るいね…と話していたら、しっかり陽が傾くまで海上におり美しいサンセットを楽しめました。ツアーは急遽当日参加をしましたが、本当に予約して良かったです。
帰国前の素敵な記念になりました！

I participated with my mother.

We considered a sunset cruise on a large ship, but choosing this one was the right decision. The sense of distance and immersion with the sea and scenery is completely different.

I ordered drinks at the bar in my broken English, but the staff girl was very pleasant and accommodating.

Just one thing to note: be careful with the restroom. You can't flush the paper, so make sure not to accidentally put it in the toilet.

母と2人で参加しました。

大きな船でのサンセットクルーズも考えましたが、こちらにして正解でした。
海や景色との距離感、臨場感が全く違います。

拙い英語でバーでの飲み物を注文したのですが、スタッフの女の子が感じよく対応してくれました。

一つだけ、おトイレに注意です。
紙は流せませんのでうっかり便器に入れてしまわないように。

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this museum. The exhibits were more fulfilling than I expected, with many displays about the Hawaiian monarchy and photographs from that era, which were quite moving. You can deepen your knowledge about Polynesian culture as a whole. There are two guided sessions in Japanese at 10:30 and 11:30. We arrived at 10:45 without knowing this, but we negotiated and were allowed to join the 10:30 session (it might be a good idea to check in advance the days and times when the Japanese guide is available). In addition to the museum, there are facilities for children (playgrounds), a planetarium, and a science center, but these are not particularly impressive.

何度もハワイに旅行しましたが、こちらのミュージアムは初めて訪問しました。予想以上に充実した展示内容で、ハワイ王朝やその時代の写真展示も多く、感慨深かったです。ポリネシア文化全体についての知識を深めることができます。10:30～、11:30～の２回、日本人ガイドによる簡単な説明もあります。私たちは知らずに10:45に到着しましたが、交渉して10:30の回に入れていただきました（日本語ガイドの開催される曜日や時間は事前に確認した方がいいかもしれません）。ミュージアム以外にも、子供向けの学習施設（遊び場）、プラネタリム、科学センター等併設していますが、これらはさほどたいしたことはありません。

The Luau was outstanding! Staff was super friendly, attentive & accommodating w/us being that we had one person in a wheelchair & another with a cane. Food was delicious w/plenty to go around for everyone.Dancers were outstanding & a very awesome show!

The staff were so kind and fun. The drinks are endless, there’s a bathroom on board and the boat is quite large.

I had imagined a cheap tourist show featuring Presley and Michael Jackson, but I was captivated by the powerful acts of the dancers. Both Presley and Michael embodied entertainment and performance, and the female singer was wonderful as well. Personally, I was particularly impressed by the performance of a Japanese woman who seemed to be in charge of percussion and keyboards in the music cast.
The dinner before the show was buffet-style, making it easy to enjoy a meal, and on top of that, the children were able to receive a simple hula dance lesson, which was a nice touch.

「プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンの登場するハワイアンショー」で、観光客向けの安っぽいものを少し想像していたのですが、ダンサーの皆さんのパワフルなアクトに魅了されました。プレスリーもマイケルもエンターテイメント性とパフォーマンスの両方を兼備していたし、シンガーの女性も素晴らしかったです。個人的に、音楽キャストのパーカッション/キーボードを担当していた日本人らしき女性の演奏が目を引きました。
　ショーの前のディナーもビュッフェスタイルで気軽に食事ができて、その上、子どもがフラの振り付けの簡単なレクチャーも受けることができて、至れり尽くせりでした。

We were the only Japanese people there. It was helpful to have notes in Japanese. The fireworks were also perfectly visible, which was great. I want to go again.

日本人は、私たちだけでした。日本語の注意事項もあり助かりました。花火もバッチリ見えてよかったです。また行きたいです。

Best place to see fireworks and have a little party too lol

I had a great experience there. The people are awesome and talented and kind.
I had alot of fun and I'm so glad I was able to have that experience. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

We had an amazing time, enjoyed the view but the staff was more than welcoming!! We really enjoyed the views and the laughs you won’t regret it! The whole family enjoyed it!

The Luau was good. The Kalua pork was amazing. The plating could have been better. The staff were very friendly and nice.

I am so glad I booked this luau for my family and me. We all had such a good
time. The show was very entertaining to watch. We got to learn a lot about Polynesian culture. They also involve the audience as well. As for the food, it was great as well. There was a wide selection of food and dessert. If you want to have a good time and eat great food, I would recommend this. You also have the option of adding transportation which was great for us.

Overall very nice experience.
Food was better than anticipated and show was funny and very informative.
It is well organized as well.
A bit far and remote however was worth it and would highly recommend.

Dinner & entertainment experience was great,from Elvis to the dancers.Micheal Jackson could some inprovement in both singing & dancing.I would definitely recommend this dinner & show to anyone.photograph was a little overpriced in my opinion.

We learned so much about the history of Hawaii and the importance of restoring and maintaining its unique culture.

I had high expectations, but it started to rain and the show ended inside. The food was delicious, so I wish I could have seen a bit more until the end.

かなり期待していたのですが、雨が降ってきて中でShowが終わってしまいました。食事は美味しかったので、もう少し最後までみたかったです。

This was best luau show we have been to. The Chief was so funny and made the show. We loved the girls dancing and the guys with the fire were outstanding. The food was ok

Easy booking and easy check in. Recommand to book early guys, do not wait to purchase at the gate, will regret.

Great place for kidss
Very interactive
Had a special feel to it.
Enjoyed the knowledge I got from each pavilion

Enjoyed the show more than anything. The food was okay. Noodles and bread were cold. Also the drink menu was limited. Enjoyed the bus ride there and even more on the way back as our bus driver dropo us of right in front of our hotel. The venue was also shared by a water park which in my opinion was a lot little tacky

Great show, solid food, mixed drinks good, interactive displays fun. We got the gold package which was nice, but silver would have been almost as good. It's awesome that the botanical garden tickets were included with the show tickets. Get there early to get parking otherwise it fills up fast. The entertainers put in a lot of effort and they have some great skills.
