All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

We went with a couple in their 30s and 20s, along with four children aged 1 and 2! I didn't have high expectations because the price was low compared to other hula shows, but it pleasantly surprised me.

The entertainment was a mix of various genres, including rock and roll, Hawaiian music, and hula dancing! What stood out the most was the show featuring Michael Jackson, which I know well. His classic songs were performed live by a band, and there was also a collaboration with dance footage of Michael himself, which got everyone in the audience excited. However, during Michael's "Thriller," the children started crying, so families with kids might want to sit further back, haha. There was also an Elvis Presley show, but since I wasn't very familiar with that artist, I wished I had studied more about him.

The hula dance show was also a highlight. They showcased hula dancing, an essential part of Hawaiian culture, with energetic performances that made us feel vibrant. The fire dance, in particular, was an impressive performance!!

The performance lasted about an hour, which was a manageable time for the kids, and since it was right in the heart of Waikiki, the access was great. I think it's a very easy-going hula show to participate in. I definitely want to go again next time!

30代と20代の夫妻、そして1歳児、2歳児の子どもたち4名で行ってきました！
他のフラショーと異なり、金額が安いため、そこまで期待していなかったのですが、良い意味でそれは裏切られました。

ロックンロールやハワイアンミュージック、フラダンスなど、様々なジャンルが織り交ぜられたエンターテインメントでした！特に印象に残ったのは、私もよく知っているマイケル・ジャクソンのショーでした。生演奏のバンドと共にマイケルの名曲が演奏され、その後にはマイケル本人のダンス映像とのコラボレーションもあり、会場全員ノリノリになっていました。
ただ、マイケルのスリラーで、子どもたちが泣き出してしまったので、子連れ家族は後ろの座席のほうがいいかもしれません笑
また、エルビスプレスリーのショーもあったのですが、こちらは私があまりその歌手を知らなかったので、もっと勉強しておけばよかったと思いました。

フラダンスのショーも見どころのひとつでした。ハワイアンカルチャーに欠かせないフラダンスを、エネルギッシュな演出と共に披露しているため、見ているこちらも華やかな気持ちになりました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻のパフォーマンスでした！！

パフォーマンスの時間も1時間程度と時間拘束も少なく、子どもたちも飽きず、かつ、ワイキキど真ん中の会場のためアクセスも良くて、非常に気軽に参加できるフラショーだと思います。ぜひ次も行きます！

This was such a great luau! The show was just awesome! The 2 guys that did the pig ceremony were great and made us laugh. The dancers were fabulous!! The gal that Did all the introductions of all the dancers and interacted with the audience (MC) was so awesome and interacted with everyone. The organization of the food (which was wonderful) getting everyone though the line in a fast organized manner was great. John our bus driver was great, he was on time, organized… it was just a great experience! Thank you !! I’m one of a group of 6, I tried the poi and I liked it !!

The staff and crew were amazing as well as the foood. The entertainment

Amazing time. Great to see see the sunset with. Thanks again

Excellent and fun crew and was a highlight for all 6 of us on vacation. Incredible sunset, City and Diamondhead views. Even saw a few whales! Great value for the price and will definitely do it again.

The food was good, the entertainment and the sunset view was incredible!

I made a reservation because I wanted to enjoy a meal while listening to live music, but the seat I was shown didn't have a view of the performance, so I quickly asked to be moved. Up to that point, everything was fine, but the waitress who saw the printed voucher insisted that she had never seen such content before and claimed it was outdated. I strongly protested, and even after showing her the e-voucher and reservation email, she remained unconvinced and made me wait for over five minutes.

Finally, as if nothing had happened, she came to take our order, but without any apology, which left me feeling quite displeased! During our meal, other staff members came by a few times to check on us, but… In the end, the initial waitress apologized for her lack of understanding, but unfortunately, it didn't lead to an enjoyable dining experience. I realized that this is what Outrigger Reef is like.

生演奏を聴きながら食事をしたくて予約しましたが、案内された席は演奏が見えない席でしたのですぐに変えていただきました。そこまでは良かったのですが、印刷したバウチャーを見たウェイトレスはこんな内容は見たことが無い。古い内容だと言い張ります。私も強く抗議し、eバウチャーや予約メールも見せても納得せず5分以上待たされました。
何事もなかった様にやっとオーダーに来ましたが、謝罪もなく気分良くはありませんね！食事中に他の従業員は何度かご機嫌伺いにきましたが…
最後の最後に最初のウェイトレスが自分の認識不足だったと謝罪してきましたが残念ながら楽しい食事にはなりませんでした。アウトリガーリーフってこの程度なんだと納得

I watched it on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii.
You can listen to music from famous people in America who have connections to Hawaii.
It's very well done and interesting, with performances that you wouldn't see in Japan, so I think it's worth a look.
However, the music being played is somewhat dated, so if you're in your 30s, it might lack excitement.
I was able to watch it until the end, but my companion, since it was the first day of our arrival, slept through the whole thing from start to finish! (laughs)

ハワイ到着初日に視聴。
アメリカで有名な人の音楽でかつハワイに縁のある人の音楽が聴けます。
とても、上手で面白く、日本ではみないような演出をしてくださるので、一見の価値はあるかと思います。
ただ、流れてくる音楽の世代がいささか古いので、30代前後だと面白味に欠ける可能性はあるかもしれません。
僕は最後までしっかり見れましたが、連れは到着初日ということもあり最初から最後までずっと寝てました笑

We had a great time on this catamaran ride. The boat was very nice and the crew was very attentive.

I signed up without meals. It was enjoyable enough. The fire show was particularly impressive. I was surprised to see a hula dancer with a big belly.

食事なしに申し込みました。それなりに楽しめます。ファイアショーが特に迫力があってよかったです。フラのダンサーにおなかが大きい人がいて
びっくりしました。

On my last trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise and had a great time, so this time, since the day before my return was a Friday, I joined a fireworks viewing cruise. It seems that some other tours don't allow you to see the sunset due to departure times, but this tour lets you enjoy both. There are sightseeing boats and yachts, but I recommend the yacht. It departs from in front of the Prince Hotel, and you can get there from Waikiki by taking bus numbers 20, 23, or 42. On the way back, I took the E bus. Tips are separate, and there was a box provided for them when disembarking.

前回のハワイ旅行ではサンセットクルーズに参加してとても良かったので、今回は帰国前日が金曜だったこともあり花火鑑賞のクルーズに参加しました。他のツアーでは出発時間の関係で夕日が見られないツアーもあるようですが、このツアーは両方見られます。船は遊覧船とヨットがありますがヨットの方がお勧めです。プリンスホテルの前から出航ですが、ワイキキからは20，23，42番のバスで移動できます。帰りはEに乗りました。チップは別で下船の際に入れる箱が用意されていました。

Better than expected, would definitely attend again. Good family entertainment.

It was a fun experience at night in Waikiki. You can participate without a mask. After ordering a Blue Hawaii at the bar counter, I was able to enjoy the show.

The distance between the audience and the dancers was just right.

Men swam down from the ceiling, and there were performances featuring Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and hula, all packed into one exciting show. Time flew by as the energy continued to build.

At the end, there was a great bonus where you could take photos with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

ワイキキの夜の楽しい体験です。マスクなしで参加出来ます。バーカウンターでブルーハワイをオーダーしてから観劇出来ました。

観客とダンサー達の距離感がちょうど良く

天井から男性が泳いできたり
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソン　ファイヤーダンスにフラとてんこ盛り。盛り上がり続けてあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。

最後はエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンとお写真が撮れるという大サービスもありました。

We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time

We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. The cruise was wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment.

Check in was simple and organized.

I was able to get my parking validated by purchasing coffee at a shop before checking in.

We saw a whale in the distance while on this cruise.

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

entire crew was so wonderful. Very attentive , asked everyone where they were fro and really interacted with guests one on one . I mean I just loved it and would do it 20 more times

It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.

参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。

I visited on Wednesday night.
Dinner while listening to live music was very nice!
The staff were friendly, and the food was very delicious.
The portions were quite large, so I took home what I couldn't finish.
There was a long line for those without reservations, and they were waiting quite a while (about 30 minutes for one group), so it was good that I made a reservation for the course.
This was the most memorable experience of my stay in Hawaii.

水曜日の夜に伺いました。
生歌を聞きながらのディナーとても良かったです！
スタッフの方の感じも良かったしお料理もとても美味しかったです。
料理の量が多めだったので食べきれない分はテイクアウトして持ち帰りました。
予約なしの人たちは行列ができていてかなり待ってた（一組大体3０分程の待ち）ので、コースにはなりますが予約していって良かったです。
今回のハワイ滞在で最も心に残っている体験です。

Not only were the views awesome, but the food, performances, and activities were a ton of fun, and my friend and I are hella happy that we chose this luau.

It was great being able to walk through the aquarium to see the fish and sharks, and the large turtle pool was really neat. The turtles were swimming and snoozing, and just a nice chill time before heading into the luau.

With our mai tais in hand, we tried all of the different activities and lessons, and worked up quite the appetite before dinner was served :P Our bellies were stuffed with yummy fish, chicken, pork, and a bunch of other kinds of food, and I was surprised at how good everything tasted. Luau buffets can be pretty hit or miss, and this one was a HIT! :D

Love love LOVED the show, and each song and dance showcased a different part of the Polynesian islands, and their was one performer who was absolutely hilarious~

Overall, would totally recommend!

With the Royal Hawaiian Hotel behind us, we enjoyed a hula dance show in a charming square while learning about Hawaii's history. All the guidance was in English from the reception, but the staff were warm and welcoming, making for a very comfortable experience. The staff came to our table to confirm drink orders, and dinner was served buffet-style, allowing us to help ourselves. During the welcome activity, we could freely visit a corner showcasing traditional Hawaiian crafts from our table, taking photos and having fun. People from various countries gathered around their tables, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an American garden party. The food was delicious, and the show was substantial, making for a truly satisfying experience!

ロイヤルハワイアンホテルを背中に、趣のある広場でハワイの歴史に触れながら見るフラダンスショーでした。
案内は受付から全て英語ですが、スタッフの方々が温かく対応してくださりとても居心地の良い時間を過ごしました。
ドリンクはスタッフの方がテーブルまでオーダー確認に来てくださり、ディナーはビュッフェ形式で自由に取りに行けます。
ウェルカムアクティビティではハワイの伝統工芸などを見るコーナーに自分のテーブルから自由に行き来し、写真を撮ったりして楽しめました。
様々な国の方がそれぞれテーブルを囲んで盛り上がっており、まさにアメリカンなガーデンパーティーと言った雰囲気です。
お料理も美味しく、ショーの内容もボリュームがあり大満足な体験でした！

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.

We came to Waikiki for our honeymoon. Since my wife wanted to see a Hawaiian show, we decided to book this experience. The welcome, dinner, hula practice during dinner, and hula show were all exactly as we imagined and were fantastic.

During the meal, there was a couple next to us who came from Los Angeles. The atmosphere was so good that we were able to get to know them well. Additionally, we were able to see shows featuring performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which was very enjoyable.

Since I can't drink alcohol, I had a meal beforehand before boarding. Inside, there was a hula dance performance that entertained us.

お酒が飲めない為、事前に食事をし乗船しました。
中ではフラダンスが実演されており楽しませてもらいました。

Great captain, great crew, great friends, beautiful night. Who good ask for more!

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.

After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.

Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.

何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか？と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。

This time, I watched a show as part of a limited number of monitors. I attended with my spouse, and I noticed a few other Japanese people in the audience. The seats were in one of the last four rows, and since it was open seating, we were able to sit almost in the middle.

■ Show Structure
It featured Hawaiian songs, popular past hits like those of Michael Jackson, and fire dancing.

■ Impressions
You can hear live performances of songs by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. As others have mentioned, it would be unfair to call it mere impersonation, as the performers have outstanding vocal abilities. I wasn't familiar with many of Elvis Presley's songs, but I had a great time. There was interaction with the audience, and the backup dancers and live music were of impressive quality. Songs from the Disney movie Moana were also performed, which I think children would enjoy as well. While you can find free hula and fire dancing performances in places like shopping malls, the quality of this show is very high, so I recommend attending this even if it's just for the show itself.

今回、人数限定のモニターでショーを観ました。
夫婦での鑑賞で、他にも日本人の方はチラホラ見かけました。
席は後ろから4列のどれかでよく、自由席だったためほぼ真ん中に座れました。

■ショーの構成
ハワイの歌、マイケル・ジャクソンなどの過去の人気ソング、ファイヤーダンスといった感じです。

■感想
エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの生歌を聴けます。
他の方も記載されていますが、ただの物真似と言うと失礼で歌唱力バツグンの方が歌います。
エルビス・プレスリーは知らない曲が多かったのですが、すごい楽しめました。
観客との交流があったり、バックダンサーや生演奏もすごい完成度で圧巻です。
ディズニー映画のモアナの曲も歌われ、子供でも楽しめるのではないかと思います。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは無料で観られるところはショッピングモールなどにありますが、ショーとしての完成度が高いため、ショーのみのプランでもいいので、こちらを鑑賞されるのをオススメします。

Ryan and Mark were a great team and the boat was a lot of fun. The dolphins came out for a play and it was a wonderful experience.

Overall the experience was simple amazing. Don't miss out this when you are in Waikiki.The check in was very smooth. There were ticket counters,signs and people to guide through the process.We bought the tickets online and they were able to process it from QR code. They gave us physical copy of ticket which we had to use for entrance. We had warm welcome with garlands and person helped us with our seats.
Theme of the show was how the music evolved around hawaii from 1920 to 2000.It was wonderful transition between different eras. Actors were very talented and sound quality was too good. I felt like I am listening to live original songs.Fireshow was amazing, very creative.I liked how they had catered to all different generations and brought a mix of everything. I did not even realize how time went by and enjoyed each moment of the show.After the show there was meet and greet activity at Lobby. Please spend some time taking pictures with them and appreciating their work. After the show , they also have bar with live musical with happy hour. I enjoyed some drinks at the bar. Definetly don't miss out on that, blue hawaii is the best !
