All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Seeing Waikiki and the fireworks from the sea was an overwhelming experience that exceeded my expectations. It's definitely an optional tour you should participate in.

海上から見るワイキキ&花火は想像を　
超える感動したでした。絶対参加の
オプショナルツアーです。

Typically, the seats of other people are right next to you, and since everyone is not wearing masks, if you are concerned about COVID, the restrictions in Japan are completely different, so at the very least, wearing a mask is necessary.
I attended alone, but considering my seating, I was allowed to sit in a special reserve seat and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The colors of the sunset were indescribable, a pink hue that is rarely seen in Japan, and it dyed the sea that color as well.
Since we set sail while it was still bright, the view of the buildings in Waikiki and the mountains behind them from the ocean was fantastic, and especially the night view after it got dark was amazing.
The cruise lasts for two hours until the fireworks start, so you can really enjoy it.

通常であれば他の人の席はすぐ横で、皆さん、マスク等もしていないので、コロナを気にされるなら、日本での制限状況とは全く違うので、最低限マスクは必要です。
一人での参加だったのですが、席を考えていただき、特別の予備席に座らせていただき満喫できました。
夕焼けの色はなんとも言えない日本ではなかなか見れないピンク色で海までそのピ色に染まってました。
明るいうちから出港するので、沖から眺めるワイキキの建物と後ろの山々の景色は最高で、とりわけ暗くなってからの夜景も最高です。
クルーズの時間が花火が上がるまでの2時間あるので、かなり満喫できます。

My partner and I did this cruise while in Waikiki..the staff were all very experienced and friendly..great vibe on board and of course open bar with good choice of drinks! Perfect place to see fireworks from on the water. Group size was good..boat not too crowded and was reasonably priced for Hawaii. Highly recommend!

Go on a Friday to catch the Friday night fireworks sponsored by Hilton Hawaiian Village. Usually after dinner is done, and while the performers entertain, guests usually hangout by the side rail outside the dining area, or at the top deck to get good seating/viewing spots until the fireworks. Otherwise, food was mediocre good (we had the crab, steak, and mashed potatoes deal) and complimentary Mai Tai was too sweet with little to no alcohol. Dessert was brought out while guests were in the deck plates. It was between the boat cruise or a luau....we should've tried the luau.

Loved the show, food was ok but I was disappointed they didn't have steamed white rice.

This tour was really fun! I've been to Oahu multiple times but my fiance hasn't. So we decided to try some fun new stuff out. I've never done a sunset tour. Our group on the boat was fun and slightly reserved, which is fine by me! The crew was great! It's only 2 guys but they make it fun with passing out drinks and starting up convos. I get sea sick and forgot to take my motion meds before we took off from the beach. Going out the water was exceptionally choppy and the waves were big the further out you got. I had to stand up and by the railing to make sure if I had to vomit it wouldn't go on me or anyone else. The meds finally kicked in on the way back and the water also smoothed out coming back in so I was perfectly fine to start talking to people and getting my moneys worth of drinks in me. This cruise is for everyone! There was one young girl (underage) who stayed up in front of the boat on the netting and got soaked and enjoyed every min of it. There was two older ladies (I mean like 75-85 years in age who needed more assistance getting on the boat and off and around the boat at times and the two guys who run the boat were perfect gentlemen helping them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Also the music was good! I'd recommend this to everyone and anyone wanting to enjoy a sunset cruise!

We had such an extraordinary experience in the Polynesian Culture Center. We enjoyed the live performances, learned the history and culture of various polynesian groups, and enjoyed the food! Had a wonderful day!

We did a LOT of activities while we were on Oahu, but this was our favorite! The crew was SO MUCH FUN! they came around making sure everyone had drinks! My teenagers and 8 year old were with me too and they said this was their favorite as well! The crew was everything! HIGHLY recommend!

Getting to the boarding area takes some time, and even though drinks are included once you're on board, you can't really enjoy them on the deck. There wasn't much to see on the way to the fireworks location, and it would have been nice if there was a bit more fun along the way.

船乗り場までまず時間がかかり乗ってからのみものつきといえど甲板らへんにいるととりにはいけない。花火の場所までは何もなくもう少し楽しさがあるとよかった。

Me and my girlfriend went to the star of Honolulu cruise dinner the last night on the island where everything changed, Captain Stephens can’t thank you enough for the honor of having him help me out with the proposal on the back of the ship on the top deck record our precious moments of now being engaged to the love of my life! Great food and great service all around amazing place, will definitely come join the crew again!

The Luau show is Stupendous especially on stage. All daces are wonderful. Not too long and short enough to go with the story of the past.

-All show - perfect!
- Food - just ok

Overall, relaxing atmosphere and very much enjoyable.

I was surprised by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. They really looked alike. The hula dance and fire performance were impressive, and I enjoyed a genuine American show.
The food was not great. The meat was tough, and the seats were cramped. I had trouble communicating with the staff in Japanese, but a person at a nearby table helped me.

エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンにびっくり。本当に良く似ていました。フラダンスも火のパフォーマンスも見応えがあり、アメリカ本場のショーを観賞しました。
食事はイマイチ。肉が硬かったし席も狭く、スタッフに日本語が通じず、苦労しました。近くの席の人が助けてくれました。

Fun, lots of laughter, romantic, entertaining, and worth every royal dollar. The best Luau in the entire island. I recommended to go their your first night

Totally enjoy the whole cruise! From the atmosphere, food, service and total entertainment was so enjoyable. My friends and I had a great time!

It's a must try when in Hawaii, we're so happy we they got a jolly crew that's made our "Catamaran experience" so FUN and EXCITING. I would recommend it doing when in Hawaii, made my Waikiki experience more memorable and unforgettable...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome experience. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. The sights, the sounds, and the crew were all Top Notch. Loved it. Great way to cap our Anniversary. Beautiful.

Super fun experience. The boat and crew were friendly and their pina coladas were EXCELLENT.

The only thing that kept this from being an outstanding experience was that as a solo participant, I was a little left out. Drink orders went out and someone finally noticed I didn’t have one and took care of it. Then, towards the end, another staff member went around asking everyone if they wanted their photos taken and I wasn’t included. At the end of the day, it’s no biggie and I don’t think it was intentional but just wanted to mention it for consideration. I think it’s just one of those things that happen to solo travelers here and there.

Otherwise, loved it!

Staff was very friendly! Nice relaxing cruise with an amazing firework show and beautiful pictures!

The crew did a great job of getting us boarded and out to sea and back. Would do it again.

The canoe ride was so fun!!! The luau did not have alcoholic bevs tho :(

Went for our anniversary and had a blast, good music, good food, nice service!

Great welcome on ship, platters were waiting and salad, great entertainment and staff. The lobster was not what i am used to, so would not select this option again.Was beautiful and seeing the fireworks out in the sea was amazing. Would go again and highly recommend.

The Holokai Sunset Sail was awesome! The vibes were great and the music wasn’t too loud. We sailed out quite a distance and enjoyed our cocktails and other beverages. I highly recommend Holokai!

Disappointed that the falls was not flowing, but the Luau was great. Learning about the hawaiian culture was interesting. The food was delicious and plentiful. The show was fabulous. You will not be disappointed.

It’s been our third time enjoying this excursion. Staff is always friendly and comical. Great to be out in the fresh air and see the beautiful sunset.
What better way to enjoy the waters of Hawaii!
We highly recommend Holokai!

Súper recommended, the Chief is a naturally funny person in a very sane way. He talked about family and tge importance of it, also shared some info about different Polynesian Islands. ❤️

The experience from the beginning to the end was immaculate. The food was great! The show was hilarious and very entertaining! The lei they greet you with is beautiful and handmade just for you! The Mai Tai? GREAT! 10/10 recommend going and seeing Chief’s Luau if you are looking into doing a luau. You and whoever you’re with will love it!

We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

We have always wanted to take a dinner cruise, and very pleased we chose this one. Great time, the singer was very nice. Entertainment was good.
food was served right away and was very good.
Overall we would choose this cruise again.

I sat towards the center tables to the left. I couldnt see anything because the performers sit too low on the stage. Also many people in the front seats (as if they already not happy enough with their view) would stand up and block our view. I missed the fire show. :(
