「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合!有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内>

The structure of the show was good. ショーの構成が良かった。

Reviewed by: 年に一度ハワイ君

For those of us in our 60s, it was a nostalgic favorite song. The dancing was also great. The fire dance was the best. The food had improved compared to before.

我々60代にとっては懐かしい好みの曲でした。ダンスも上手かった。ファイヤーダンスは最高でした。料理も以前より良くなっていた。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「カ・モアナ・ルアウ」本格フラと豪華ビュッフェ付き!盛りだくさんのカルチャー体験も!<アロハタワーマーケットプレイス内/送迎可>

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: どりー

Honestly, before I signed up, I thought $208 was a bit high... but since I was in Hawaii, I wanted to see the luau show, so I went ahead and signed up.

In the end, I’m glad I did! There were so many hula dances, fire dances, and shows to see, it was very impressive!!

When we arrived, we were welcomed with leis. After being shown to our seats, we had a little time before the buffet opened, so there was a space to enjoy making leis and headbands, which was fun. I thought I might not participate when I signed up, but it turned out to be a unique Hawaiian experience, and I loved it!!

We took a commemorative photo with the sunset in the background, and since we had tickets for two drinks, we ordered the first one and toasted together.

When the buffet line opened, everyone lined up and went to get their food in a serving style. The taste was good, but there weren't many options.

After the sun set, the show continued. The various regional dances and performances were really wonderful!!

It rained a little on the day I attended, but I think it would have been even better if it had been sunny! I highly recommend it.

正直、申し込む前は$208は少し高いな…と思っていたのですが、
せっかくのハワイなので、ルアウショーを見たいと思い申込ました。

結果は、申し込んでよかったです!
何といってもたくさんのフラダンスやファイヤーダンスやショーが見れて、
見応えがありました!!

到着するとレイでお出迎えしてくれました。
席に案内されると、ビュッフェのオープンまで少し時間があるということで、
リストレイつくりや、ヘッドバンドつくりの体験を楽しめるスペースがあり楽しかったです。
申し込んだときはやらないかな・・・と思っていたのですが、
ハワイならではの体験で、良かったです!!

夕日をバックに皆で記念撮影をし、
ドリンクも2杯分のチケットがついていたので、1つめを注文し、皆で乾杯。

ビュッフェラインがオープンすると皆ぞろぞろと列になり、配膳のような形で取りに行きます。
味は美味しかったですが、種類は多くありませんでした・

夕日が沈んでからは、ショーが続きます。
色々な地方のダンスや、ショーはとても素敵でした!!

私が参加した日は少し雨だったのですが、晴れていたらもっと良かったと思います!

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「カ・モアナ・ルアウ」本格フラと豪華ビュッフェ付き!盛りだくさんのカルチャー体験も!<アロハタワーマーケットプレイス内/送迎可>

The show is absolutely worth seeing! You might want to lower your expectations for the buffet! ショーは見ごたえ抜群!ビュッフェは期待しない方がいいかも!

Reviewed by: なんしー

The show was really great!! There were hula lessons and interactive elements, and the various areas of hula, dance, and luau were all very impressive.

However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the buffet. The show was very splendid, but the variety of the buffet was limited, and the staff put the food in boxes without allowing you to choose your preferred amount. (They might do it if you ask, but with such a long line, it didn't feel like the right atmosphere to ask...) The way they served the food was also quite careless, which was really disappointing.

Additionally, unfortunately, the weather was rainy... It wasn't raining the entire time, but when it rains outdoors, it really dampens the mood.

The show itself was very good, so I would be happy if they could improve the buffet format a bit!

ショーはとても良かったです!!
フラのレッスンや参加型のものもあり、
色々なエリアのフラやダンス、ルアウも迫力満点でした。

ただ、ビュッフェは期待しない方がいいかなと思います。
ショーはとても立派なのに、
ビュッフェの種類も少なく、また、スタッフさんが勝手にボックスに入れるので、
好きな量を好きな分だけ選べるわけではありません。
(言えばやってくれるのかもしれませんが、長蛇の列でそんなことを言える雰囲気でもなく・・・)
入れ方も雑で、そこだけすごく残念でした。

また、生憎の天候が雨で・・・全部雨だったわけでないですが、
やはり野外で雨が降るとなかなかテンションがあがりませんでした。

ショー自体はとっても良かったので・・・ビュッフェの形式を少し改善してもらえると嬉しいです!

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「カ・モアナ・ルアウ」本格フラと豪華ビュッフェ付き!盛りだくさんのカルチャー体験も!<アロハタワーマーケットプレイス内/送迎可>

I attended my first hula dance show in Hawaii! ハワイでの初めてのフラダンスショーを鑑賞しました!

Reviewed by: たかぽん

After the reception, we were welcomed with a lei made of real flowers. I was able to take photos with the performers. Before the show started, there were photo spots and experiences like making crowns from leaves and flower bracelets, which made the waiting time enjoyable for children as well. I participated in the buffet course, but I felt there were fewer types of dishes, and since the staff served the food, it gave the impression of a bento-style meal. The food was delicious.

I was a bit dissatisfied with the variety of the menu and the way it was served. We received two drink tickets, allowing us to choose our favorite drinks from the counter, including alcohol and soft drinks!

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the event, and I had to participate wearing a raincoat, so I couldn't see the sunset, which brought my mood down a bit, but that's just the weather... The show itself was authentic, and I thoroughly enjoyed traditional dances like hula and fire dancing. Some parts of the show involved audience participation, which was fun. However, since the show was primarily conducted in English, it might be a bit difficult to understand if you don't know any English.

I got the impression that there were more Western participants than Japanese ones. Overall, I enjoyed it, but considering the content of the food and the overall cost performance of the experience, it felt a bit overpriced.

受付が終わったら本物のお花でできたレイでお出迎え。パフォーマーの方々と一緒に写真を撮ることが出来ました。
ショーが始まる前には、写真撮影スポットや葉っぱで作る冠やお花のブレスレット作りの体験が用意されていて、待ち時間はお子様にも楽しめる工夫がされていました。私はバイキングコースに参加しましたが、お料理の種類は少なめで、係の方が取り分けてくれるスタイルのため、お弁当形式に近い印象を受けました。料理の味は美味しかったです。
メニューの種類と提供の仕方には少し不満かな。
ドリンクチケットが2枚ついていてドリンクカウンターでアルコールやソフトドリンクから自分が好きなものを選ぶことが出来ました!

当日は残念ながら雨が降り、レインコートを着ての参加になり、夕日も見られず少しテンションが下がってしまいましたが、これは天候なので仕方ないですね。。。ショー自体は本格的で、フラダンス、ファイヤーダンスなど伝統的なダンスをたっぷり堪能しました。
ショーの一部観客も参加型になっていて楽しむことが出来ました。
ただ、基本的に英語での進行なので、英語が全くわからないと少し理解しにくい部分もあるかもしれません。

参加者は日本人より、欧米系の方が多かった印象です。
全体として楽しめましたが、料理の内容や体験全体のコストパフォーマンスを考えると、若干割高に感じました><

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「カ・モアナ・ルアウ」本格フラと豪華ビュッフェ付き!盛りだくさんのカルチャー体験も!<アロハタワーマーケットプレイス内/送迎可>

I experienced Hawaii with all my senses. 五感でハワイを感じました。

Reviewed by: A.A

A shuttle bus came to the hotel and it took about 30 minutes to the venue. There were no Japanese people on board, which made me quite anxious. However, the driver said "Japanese!" and encouraged travelers from different countries.

At the venue, I could only confirm one other group of Japanese participants besides us, but I felt that it actually enhanced the atmosphere. The shuttle service and the local staff were attentive, and I was able to enjoy the experience without any major issues. There was a dedicated staff member who spoke Japanese for the Japanese guests. The staff's words, "Please feel free to reach out if you need anything," provided a great sense of reassurance.

Drinks were exchanged for tickets, and while some drinks required an additional fee, most could be enjoyed with the tickets. The food mainly featured Hawaiian dishes, which were decent, and I thought it wasn't bad at all. The show combined traditional elements with entertainment, and I enjoyed it throughout.

Since everything was primarily in English, I couldn't fully understand the details of the conversations, but I was able to catch bits and pieces. It started with a Hawaiian sunset, and I received a lei, allowing me to feel the weight and beauty of an authentic lei. Overall, I thought it was a very good experience.

ホテル前に送迎バスが来てくれて会場まで30分ほど。車内には日本人はいなくてとても不安でした。ただ、運転手さんが「Japanese!」と言ってそれぞれの国の旅行者を盛り上げてくれました。
会場でも日本人の参加は私たちの他に一組しか確認できなかったですが、それがかえって雰囲気が出たように感じました。送迎、現地スタッフの方が気を配って下さり特に問題なく楽しめました。日本人の為に日本語が話せるスタッフが専属で対応してくれました。「何かあったらいつでも声掛けてください」というスタッフの言葉にとても安心感がありました。
飲み物はもらったチケットで好きなドリンクと交換する形でした。ドリンクによってはプラスアルファで料金を払いますが基本的に大体のドリンクはチケットで飲めました。食事は、ハワイのものがメインでまずまずでしたが、悪くはなかったと思います。またショーは伝統的なものとエンター的なものがうまく合わり、終始楽しめました。
基本的に英語だけなので話している内容は詳しく理解できませんでしたが、所々聞き取れ
ました。ハワイのサンセットから始まり、レイをもらい本場のレイの重みや綺麗さも感じることができました。全体的にとても良かったと思います。

I participated with just a show ticket. Although I was in the public relations section, it wasn't too far away, so it was fine. After the show, you can take photos with the cast. I wanted to take a picture with the backup dancers, but it was only with the main cast, which was disappointing.

Michael is the best! マイコー最高!

Reviewed by: アイ

It was an exhilarating show that was completely different from what I had imagined a Polynesian show would be! First of all, the power of the Polynesian show was incredibly moving. And the rock show was the best. Michael's singing and dancing were a sight to behold! After the show, there was a greeting and photo opportunity. I took a picture with Michael and shook his hand, but I was shaking all over, and I could tell he was performing despite being exhausted, which brought me to tears. It's a soulful show that I highly recommend everyone to see!

自分が想像していたポリネシアンショーとは一線を画す大興奮ショーでしたよ!
まず、ポリネシアンショーの迫力は凄く感動しました。
そして、ロックショー、最高でした。マイケルの歌、ダンス、一見あり!

Mauka Warriors Luau & Dinner - Authentic Polynesian Show with Thrilling Fire Knife Spectacular

Experience mediocre and spoiled by Rain

Reviewed by: BCDavis

Our group was looking forward to our first luau and as we arrived at the destination it started raining. While the hosts were quick to hand out rain ponchos, the rain affected the event.

First, the hosts were rushed to get folks registered and get things moving. As a result, our group was never able to get our picture taken before the event started. Knowing this was an outdoor venue and its rainy season, I would have expected that certain things would have been under cover - like the photo area, the stage and honestly even the seating.

The food was under cover and was good. Not spectacular but good. A couple of our group had raw fish and were all sick that night so having certain foods outside for an extended period was not smart.

The performance from the warriors was good. They tried to show the different dress/dance of various polynesian groups but it would have benefited from more clarity on their differences as they all stared looking the same.

The ONE performance I was looking forward to was the fire dance. It was a disappointment. I expected all the adult performers to have choreographed a phenomenal dance of fire, complete with fire twirling, throwing etc. Instead they handed the "fire dance" off to one young boy for a solo act and two young boys to show off what they learned. YES, they were very good! but the magic of a "warrior tribe" dancing the fire dance was lost. The adults did come back for a grand finale - but it seems confusing at best.

Not what I expected.

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

Na Lei Aloha Waikiki Luau - Authentic Hula Show & Dinner at The Buffet at Hyatt

I was truly impressed with everything at Na Lei Aloha Hula Show - Best Food Ever! A beautiful engaging show with super talented performers!

Reviewed by: Julie_MC

[VELTRA Staff Experience]
I had a spectacular experience at the Na Lei Aloha Show! The location is within walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki. The food was the best I've ever had at a luau. The all-you-can-eat buffet at Hyatt Hotel features perfectly cooked prime ribs, short ribs, and pork ribs. It's a seafood lover's paradise! They have high quality snow crab legs, made-to-order sushi, poke station, an incredible variety of salads, hot dishes, and an impressive selection of desserts. It’s hard to pick favorites because every dish was outstanding, I can't wait to go back.

The setting had a lovely intimate atmosphere, and the servers were attentive to every detail. The show was absolutely delightful, highlighting Hawaiian culture and the significance of the Lei, showcasing a wide array of flowers used to create these meaningful flower necklaces. The dancers were incredibly talented, and the storytelling was captivating—I couldn't stop smiling!

Na Lei Aloha Waikiki Luau - Authentic Hula Show & Dinner at The Buffet at Hyatt

One of a kind experience!

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess

(Reviewed by Hawaii Activities Staff)

As we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful cold lei that made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect for Waikiki away from the crowds with stunning views of the ocean/sunset. The food was truly out of this world from just about every thing you could possibly think of. Sushi, meats, a quality salad bar, Korean BBQ, and not to mention the yummy dessert bar. Food for every pallet in the family.

The show was truly engaging, sweet, and wholesome. Based on the history of Waikiki and the importance of flowers being made into leis. Not like any other show i've seen on island. The duration of the activity was perfect, not too long not too short didn't feel rushed to eat or didn't feel like the show was dragging on. Would definitely recommend this for couples and friends looking to celebrate in a unique way.

Polynesian culture centre

Reviewed by: Shirley Husted

My husband and I had a fantastic day at the polynesian culture centre.
We went to many of the activities and to the Gateway dinner. We felt it was excellent and a beautiful display plus we learnt a lot.
Thank you all so very much...
I was particularly wishing to go to a Luau and that was what I thought I booked from Australia before we went.....however discovered while there that I had booked the Gateway dinner. Bit disappointed but the dinner was lovely and the whole experience fantastic!!! Thank you all so much...

Show Only

Reviewed by: OzBrian

We purchased tickets for the show only but walked past the all-you-can-eat buffet and I must say, it looked very good.
The show was very entertaining and well worth the money. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

“A must have adventure”

Reviewed by: Tia & Zoltan

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

HULA GARDEN at Kahalu'u - Fine Dinning Experience by Michel's & Show in Paradise

A delightful tropical evening in paradise - fine dining, Polynesian entertainment, great scenery

Reviewed by: Julie_MC

[VELTRA Staff Experience]
The Hula Garden at Kahalu'u Pond was truly magical! I've attended many Polynesian shows and luaus in Hawaii over the past 10 years, but this one stands out as the most stunning location. It's not your typical luau. It offers a sophisticated dining experience with breathtaking views of Kaneohe Bay and the Kualua Ranch mountain range. The intimate setting sets the stage for an elevated experience: fine dining amidst lush greenery and an ancient fishpond. I'd say it's one of Oahu's best-kept secrets, a hidden gem that only a few people know about. 

The food was exceptional, featuring a 4-course dinner freshly prepared by the renowned Michel's Restaurant. Starting with the chilled roasted tomato bisque, tofu poke, and salad was a treat! The main course of steak, abalone & garlic shrimp was absolutely delicious. The mango mousse cake for dessert was light and refreshing. What I loved most about this evening was the lack of a crowded, touristy luau feel. The entertainment was delightful, featuring a lively band, singer, and dancers performing at various spots throughout the venue. The grand finale featuring a skilled fire knife dancer was truly impressive.

Tips:
- I suggest booking with transportation; it's complimentary. Parking is limited and comes at an additional cost.
- If you're seeking a big luau production, this may not be the one for you. But if you want a distinctive, less crowded, out-of-the-ordinary experience, this is the perfect fit.
- If food quality is important to you, then this dinner show is what you're looking for! The food quality exceeded my expectations, it's restaurant quality! And the menu offers completely different options compared to traditional luau buffets.
- I think this dining show is recommended for all types of travelers and local residents alike, even if you've been to a luau previously.
- This is a fantastic choice for marking a special occasion and a truly romantic experience.

Aloha,
Thank you for expressing our charm so accurately.
It's rare to find a small venue where you can enjoy the scenery, a 4 course meal, and a show.
Mahalo,
