All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The food , the music , the scenery , the service is great . I would definitely take the tour again we love it .

Loved the catamaran ride the most friendly staff when they tell you your going to get wet sitting on the front they are not kidding but I loved it Those free drinks not watered down like most other places

This was a super fun activity! The catamaran was amazing and had lots of space despite being full. The crew was sooo attentive, you never had to ask for a refill. They were also super nice and communicative. They played awesome music, and timed the trip back with the sunset perfectly. I was with a group of about 10 and we had an amazing time!

We enjoyed the entertainment, however the tables were too close together, not even a arms length, and the lobster was served whole and was difficult to cut .

Initially I was a bit skeptical about booking the sunset cruise because it had mixed reviews. It was my husband’s birthday so I took a chance. The booking I must say could be a bit easier to navigate, however this review is about the amazing experience. The transportation to the dock was free and luxurious from our hotel. Arriving at the dock we were greeted by music and the nicest staff, where we were then guided to the top deck to a welcome ceremony with Hors d’oeuvres and photos with the captain. After which we were shown to our table and the luxurious dining experience commenced. There were seven courses of excellent food and amazing staff. Our server Tyler was very nice and accommodating. The live piano jazz was a nice touch. The view was absolutely amazing so many photo worthy moments out on the deck! The overall experience was well worth it. The only con I would say is that the ship is a bit weathered, needs painting and updating in the dining rooms. Despite the dated decor we had a fantastic time.

Such an amazing experience!!! Absolutely loved it.

I thought the chief and group was wonderful but venue was weird. Wet n wild???? Would be better on a ocean front setting. My first husband/wife dance was on stage and will always be remembered.

The food and show was great. The food tasted fresh and the drinks was good as well.

Beautiful area, white tablecloths.....table for two, which was the best. Food was so delicious and the service was outstanding.....our waiter was the BEST! Loves his job and does an outstanding job of it. Enjoyed the show and hearing about the history of Hawaii....everything was PERFECT.

Great experience. Only critique would be to have cleaner dishes.

My family and I ended our 7-day Hawaii vacation by booking this sunset booze cruise for our last night and it did NOT disappoint! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. That sunset was truly stunning! The crew was extremely friendly and ensured we never had an empty beer or mai tai in our hands! One thing to keep in mind is that if waves are a bit rough it will not depart from Waikiki beach. Instead, they can change the departure to the pier, which is about a 15+ min drive from Waikiki with limited parking. To be honest I was definitely a bit disappointed about that but I forgot all about once I stepped on that catamaran and was given a Mai tai! Go ahead and book this, it's totally worth it!

There were quite a few Luau options to choose from. After some searching, we decided to give Chief's Luau a try. It's good that they have pickup options and we don't have to drive. The pickup, drop-off, and check-in were smooth.
It was a cloudy evening with some sprinkles, but we were prepared.
Food was all-you-can-eat style, with them serving you at the station. Food varieties was limited compared with Polynesian Culture Center, but the quality was good. They even gave us 2 drink tickets for each person. That's enough for the night.
The dancing and the fire knife show were very entertaining, and the jokes too.
All in all, a pleasant evening spent on the island of Oahu.

We loved it !!! Great food, great Show, we had a great Time !! We would definitely do this again. Highly recommended .

My girlfriend and I were visiting Oahu for her birthday and we did the catamaran cruise on our first night on the island - such an amazing way to start our trip. The crew was friendly, high-energy, played great music to dance to, and they kept the drinks going the whole cruise. Also, met a lot of cool people that were also visiting. PROTIP: BOOK THE LAST CRUISE OF THE DAY TO CATCH THE SUNSET! (Make sure it's clear or partly cloudy skies though) Can't recommend this cruise enough!

Staff was fun, drinks were yummy, and the sunset was beautiful!

Highly enjoyed the entertainment; the singer has such a beautiful voice and I can listen to her sing all night long.

The dinner was good. Wished temp was hot on dishes, but presented beautifully. Server was a nice young lady, pleasant smile.

View of the island was so beautiful. I was slightly hungover though from night prior, so did not want to get up and explore the balcony.

Would definitely recommend this adventure!

From the minute we got on the boat the crew were outstanding. Made sure we were safe but made sure that we had a great time. The main attraction of the sunset was made even better by the upbeat tunes, great drink selection and the energy on the boat. Make sure you come ready to have fun!

The Luau was perfect from beginning to end. It was organized and the staff was very friendly. Was great to see the dancers were also the greeters, wait staff and doing the demonstrations as well. The Host was very entertaining. Loved how friendly everyone was. The food was wonderful. Would definitely recommend as the Luau to attend.

Great crew. rain or shine they sail. They make sure you have a drink to enjoy. We were'nt able to see the sunset due to weather but we sill enjoyed the trip

Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, the sunset over the ocean was very beautiful. However, it was a bit disappointing because there were many clouds that evening. The boat sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those worried about seasickness to take some motion sickness medication in advance. Along the way, dolphins came close to the boat, and we were able to see them from on board.

ワイキキ沖ということもあり、海の上から見る夕日はとても綺麗でした。しかし、ツアーの日の夕方は雲が多かったので少し残念でした。船はけっこう揺れるので、船酔いが心配な方は予め酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心だと思います。途中でイルカが船の近くまで来てくれて、船の上から見る事ができました。

Very fun, beautiful evening and sunset. Second time we have done this cruise.

I don’t have a review because I missed it, i got there 2 minutes before before they left..

Very friendly staff, incredible food and service, amazing views of the sunset and mountains. Highly recommend to all who want to enjoy a fantastic night with loved ones. Great for a date night, birthday celebration, anniversary celebration, or to just enjoy life.

The tour bus driver was considerate and was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history. Took the time to ensure evryo was on the bus and answered all our questions. The island tour was great and PCC was awesome as well. I recommend anyone to take the combo tour.

My travel agent assisted us in choosing this Luau in Honolulu and let me tell you Chief's Luau does not disappoint. My family was very impressed with the entire experience and talked about it even the next day. I would highly suggest this Luau to anyone wanting an authentic experience.

My family and I had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone birthday with the Star of Honolulu. We opted to have the Luxury experience and it was the best decision. From the initial boarding process, to the welcome reception with the captain, it was easy and seamless. The appetizers and the welcome Bellini's were an added bonus with the beautiful backdrop of the Honolulu skyline and ocean. The dining experience was amazing. From the welcome hula dancers to the curated jazz piano and saxophone combination, the cruise did a great job curating a luxury experience.
We were able to experience beautiful views of the ocean and the city from the water as there were large windows circumferentially about the dining room. This also helped to heighten the sunset experience and for us to better appreciate the allure of the Hawaiian sky.
Most importantly, the food selection was amazing. Our collective most impressive course was the lobster bisque. It had an exquisite flavor and the lobster itself was so tender and succulent. The only draw back is we wish we had a larger bowl! The main courses of lobster tail and beef wellington were made to perfection and the paired sides were delicious. The bartender was also top notch, and made delicious and eye appealing cocktails that really elevated our experience.
Importantly, the wait staff were so attentive and friendly. This also helped to elevate the experience. Much attention was given to the small details that ensured that the experience was five star luxury at its finest. Without a doubt, we would recommend this dining experience when visiting Honolulu. Whether it be for a birthday celebration, a date night, or just because, this experience was a highlight of our Hawaiian vacation and we are so happy to have incorporated it in our itinerary.

This booze cruise was mediocre. We watched them struggle on several trips to get the catamaran out on the ocean, not at the fault of the staff, but seemingly due to the tropical weather. Other cruises didn’t seem to have this issue so we always wondered why this catamaran did. The crew serving drinks worked hard to make sure everyone always had a drink in their hand. They serve “Mai Tais” that looked and tasted more like a cheap margarita or Corona Extras. The sunset was beautiful and in the end, we felt we got what we paid for. Would not recommend this cruise for children.

100% must do when visiting Oahu. Although it is a little ways from Waikiki, the experience is worth the time. It was very informative and entertaining. Food was fair as well!

Such a fun and amazing time!! It was my first luau and I have to say it was THE BEST! I was really disappointed at first because I wanted to do the Polynesian cultural center luau, but I’m so happy that we got to do this one! The food was delicious, it came out super fast, and I loved that it was all you can eat ! The music and entertainment was incredible too! Such beautiful dancing and really cool performances! Overall I had such a blast and it was a wonderful stress free experience :).

Staff, food and entertainment were all very good
