Fantastic cruise!!!
Friendly crew
Good music
Great Cocktails
Fun couple of hours. Good time was had by all and would love to do it again.

Great experience off of the coast of Waikiki. Our crew did a great job of keeping our drinks full the whole cruise. Beautiful views of the coastline and the sunset. Great price for the experience. Would definitely recommend!

I went for the first time! I had really wanted to see this show, and I was very moved. The powerful performances and the story were really great!

初めて行きました！ 一度このショーを見たかったのでとても感動しました。
迫力のあるパフォーマンスとストーリーがとてもよかったです！

The participants were multinational. The crew spoke English, but there was no language barrier. They did a great job of keeping the atmosphere lively. There was a wide variety of drinks, and the sunset over Waikiki from the sea was amazing. I would love to go again. However, when you drink, you will need to go to the restroom... Be sure to take care of that before boarding. It seems there is a restroom in the bottom of the boat in case of emergencies. Just let the crew know.

参加者は多国籍でしたね。クルーは英語ですが言葉の壁は有りません。上手に盛り上げてくれます。お酒の種類も豊富で海から見るワイキキの夕暮れもサイコー。また、乗りたいと思いました。
ただ、飲めばトイレに行きたくなるもの…。乗船前には必ず済ませて下さい。緊急時には船底にトイレが有るようです。クルーに声がけを。

I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to see whales and a full moon. The hospitality of the staff was also wonderful, and it became a great memory.

夕陽は見れなかったけど、クジラや満月が見れました。スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティも大変すばらしく、良い思い出になりました。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to see a show on the main street! Plus, I had a coupon for a second person free, so I made a reservation.

For dinner, we had a buffet featuring a whole roasted pig. They brought it right in front of us, which was quite impressive! We enjoyed our meal while watching live ukulele music and hula dancing. The one-drink service was also a nice touch.

After enjoying quite a bit of hula, the show began. The professional performance from the stage was truly wonderful. We were seated in the second floor, but it was very close, which was great.

The dancing by Elvis and Michael was a highlight! Personally, I found the fire dance to be the most entertaining. ^ ^

今回初めてのハワイなので大道にショーも見たいよね！というのと、2人目無料クーポンがあったので予約しました。
夜ご飯のビュッフェは豚の丸焼き。
目の前まで持ってきてくれたので迫力満点！
生のウクレレとフラダンスを見ながらの夕食。
ワンドリンクサービスも嬉しかったです。　
もうフラをだいぶ堪能してからのショー。
でもやはり舞台からの本格的なショーは素敵でした。
2階席からでしたが、とても近くてよかったです。
エルビスとマイケルのキレキレダンスは見ものでした！
個人的にはファイヤーダンスが1番面白かったです^ ^

Captain & Kevin were a lot of fun. Great to get out on the water to watch the sunset. Spotted some whales too! Highly recommend this couples trip!

This was such a great ride. The guys are awesome. Going to head down and book it for another night!

This was the perfect ending to a beautiful day. Location was convenient, boat was beautiful, crew superb. Great atmosphere and the sunset was incredible. Could not have asked for better!

I learned about the history of Hawaii, and the plants were explained in detail. In the long-awaited hula lesson, I was taught by the kumu hula, Brad Cooper, and it felt like a dream. I was also very satisfied with the beautiful lei making.

ハワイの歴史が学べ、植物も丁寧に説明していただきました。
念願のフラレッスンではクムフラのブラッド　クーパー先生に教えていただき夢のようでした。
レイメイクも素敵にできて大満足です。

My friends and I wanted a good-priced sunset booze cruise with drinks included so this was the perfect option for us. You depart right in front of Dukes restaurant on Waikiki beach so it's really convenient location if you're staying in Waikiki. Three drinks are included and we sailed all the way to Diamond Head. I am very prone to getting sea sick, but I took bonine 1 hour prior to the sail and I was completely fine. I would totally recommend this cruise for someone wanting a relaxing activity to enjoy the sunset on the ocean

The live performances and hula were very lively, with impromptu performances as well! ✨ The food was delicious, but I thought it would be nice to have a bit more variety on the menu. The portions were large, and since I attended with my mother and husband, that meant three sets... We couldn't finish it all and ended up leaving some behind.

It's definitely better to print your tickets. Some staff members were not familiar with the system and went inside with the paper. Another staff member quickly assisted us, but since we had already paid, having the printed tickets made us feel more at ease.

It was a very healing time with the atmosphere of Hawaii and wonderful music.

生演奏とフラ、飛び入りの演奏やフラもあり、とても賑やかでした✨
食事は、美味しかったですが、もう少しメニューが選べるといいかなと思いました。1人の量が多く、母と旦那と3人で参加したのでそれが3セット…。食べきれず残しました
チケットは必ず印刷した方がいいです。
スタッフによってはシステムが把握されておらず、紙を持って奥に入って行きました。別のスタッフが直ぐに対応してくれましたが、お金も支払い済みなので、印刷した事で、安心して過ごせました。
ハワイの空気感と素敵な音楽で、とても癒された時間となりました。

The diamond seat was very good! We were prioritized for the lei, photos, and buffet, being the first in line! The stage was fun and really lively, and it was a wonderful luau show! The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The alcoholic version was quite strong. Even though it was cold, there were no warm drinks available, so I thought having a jacket would be a good idea.

Also, I had to wait about 20 minutes to exchange the voucher for tickets. After that, I lined up for photos, so for those in general seating, it took about 40 minutes in total. The photos were $50 in cash.

That day was a Sunday, and the fireworks for the Hilton's full occupancy were launched around 8:30 PM! It's such a wonderful environment to be able to see such a fantastic show within the village.

ダイヤモンドシートとても良かったです✨
優先的にレイや写真、バイキングも一番最初でした！ステージも楽しく盛り上げてくれますし、素敵なルアウショーでした！ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールかノンアルコールかどちらか選べました。アルコールの方はしっかり入っててキツめです。寒くても暖かい飲み物はないので、上着はあればいいかなと思いました。
あと、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのに、20分くらい並びました。その後に、写真の列に並ぶので一般席の方は合計40分くらいかかっていました。
写真は50ドル現金でした。
その日は日曜日でヒルトン満室御礼の花火も8時半頃打ち上げられました！ヴィレッジ内で、こんな素敵なショーが観れるなんて、とても素晴らしい環境です

I participated in the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii. It was cloudy and there was occasional rain, so I didn't expect much from the sunset, but once the boat went out to sea, the clouds cleared and we were able to see a beautiful sunset! I was also thrilled to spot dolphins and whales in the distance! The crew was always attentive to our drinks. The Mai Tai cocktail was very delicious, so I highly recommend it. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but I didn't find it inconvenient at all.

ハワイ到着日の夕方に参加しました。
曇っていたり雨が時々ぱらついていたのでサンセットは期待せず乗船したのですが、船が沖に出たら雲が取れて綺麗なサンセットが見れました!またイルカとクジラも遠くにですが拝めて感動！クルーの方は常にドリンクを気にかけてくれます。カクテルのマイタイがとっても美味しいのでおすすめです。日本を話せるスタッフの方はいらっしゃいませんでしたが、何も不便はなかったです。

Great time would do it again. The only thing I would change is some of the items on the menu.

Enjoyed sail wish it would have lasted a little longer, be on the water when sunset. Drinks were good would have liked a few more choices

A typical dinner cruise. The round table for eight was too cramped to enjoy the meal. To be honest, the food wasn't good either. The show and live performance were of low quality, making it a disappointing tour.

よくあるディナークルーズ。丸テーブルに8人掛けは狭過ぎて食事も楽しめない。その食事もハッキリ言って美味しくなかった。ショーも生演奏もレベルが低くガッカリなツアーでした。

I went with a plan that included a buffet!
I checked in at 18:15, and from 18:30, we were treated to a ukulele performance and hula dancing.
The buffet started at 18:30.
We were guided to the buffet in seating order, and Mai Tai was served.
The buffet menu included green salad, macaroni salad, marinated salmon, sautéed white fish, huli huli chicken, roast beef, and whole roasted pig, among others. To be honest, the taste was just okay... but the dessert, like the chocolate cake, was delicious.

However, the show was amazing!
I was seated on the second floor, but the stage felt very close.
Of course, there were performances by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and I was captivated by the sharp dancing of the hula dancers!
I went with my mother, who is in her 60s, and she said, "That was fun!" After the show, you can also take photos with the cast.
If you're considering it, I think participating in just the show would be a great idea!☆

ブュッフェ付きのプランで行ってきました！
18:15 チェックインし、18：30分までウクレレ演奏とフラダンスでおもてなし。
18:30からブュッフェスタートです。
座席順にブュッフェに案内され、マイタイがサーブされます。
ブュッフェメニューはグリーンサラダやマカロニサラダ、サーモンのマリネ、白身のソテー、フリフリチキン、ローストビーフ、豚の丸焼き等々。味は正直イマイチ…デザートのチョコレートケーキ等は美味しかったです。

ですが、ショーは最高！
２階席でしたがステージがとても近く感じます。
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンはもちろんのこと、フラのダンサーたちのキレッキレなダンスに釘付け！
60代の母親と行ったのですが「楽しかった〜」と言っていました。ショーが終わった後はキャストと写真も撮れます。
悩まれている方はショーだけでも参加するといいと思います☆

The night view was beautiful, and I had a great time. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the drinks! I definitely want to recommend this to those who are going for their honeymoon. I want to go again!

夜景が綺麗でとても楽しめました。
お酒も飲めて雰囲気最高でした！
これからハネムーンで行かれる方にも是非おすすめしたいです。
また行きたいです！

I arrived just in time for the show. My seat was at the back, directly facing the stage. At the entrance, I was given a lei, which really boosted my excitement.

The show featured a variety of costumes, music, and dance, and even though it was the same performer, the quick costume changes kept the waiting time short, allowing us to enjoy the performance continuously. The final fire dance was breathtaking!

There were also interactive segments where guests could participate, such as blowing conch shells and learning dances. It was a bit disappointing not to be chosen (laughs). There was a time for couples and families to dance along to the music, but my husband was too shy to join in, which was a shame.

Additionally, the buffet food was delicious. Since I had been eating American dishes like hamburgers in the city, it was great to enjoy Hawaiian cuisine. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was fantastic!

However, I wasn't sure how to order alcohol afterward.

Also, I got lost trying to find the venue and ended up being late, so I recommend allowing extra time to get there.

Hilton Hawaiian Village had many spots to explore, so we were able to check out the shops after the show.

There was a Japanese guide, and we were able to tour the facilities smoothly. However, there is something disappointing. We were made to have lunch at 1 PM, and dinner was at 4 PM. We were not informed about this in advance...

日本人の案内人がいて、スムーズに施設を見学することができました。
しかし、残念な事があります。13時に昼食を取らされて、夕食は16時にされてしまいました。そんなことは、事前に知らせていませんでしたが…

This luau displayed music, dancing, and chants from cultures all over Polynesia, not just Hawaii. This luau was very engaging and was a great time with friends. One welcome mai tai was included in our package and additional drinks were available for purchase. The food was great, my favorites was the kalua pig and malasada dessert.

The view from the luau was beautiful, we were able to see the sunset from the rooftop at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Parking was validated so even if you are not within walking distance of the hotel it is not a problem to park there.

Such a convenient location for anyone that is staying in Waikiki! The food was amazing and they had a nice variety to choose from. I have been to a couple different ones so far and this one ranks high on my list for the food! The entertainment was great and I loved the fire knife dancers, they put on a great show.  The MC made sure to keep everyone involved throughout the show and overall we had a great time. I would highly recommend, especially for anyone that is staying in Waikiki that doesn't want to drive too far out to attend a Luau.  

I enjoyed a traditional luau and beautiful hula. Since the trip was all private plans, the activities were also individually arranged. I splurged a bit and reserved seats in the front center, which were close and had a great view. To my left and right were couples and families from Australia, New Zealand, and the mainland United States. It was fun to talk to each other and share snacks. After the show, we took the escalator down to the first floor and went straight to our room! It was very convenient. The welcome drink was a Mai Tai, which had me feeling a bit tipsy, and for my second drink, I had orange juice to refresh myself! The professional dancers were impressive; both the luau and hula were very captivating.

伝統的なルアウと美しいフラで楽しめました　旅行はすべてプライベートプランのためアクティビティも個人エントリー　ちょっと奮発して座席は前方中央席を予約　近くて迫力ありました　左右向かえはオーストラリア　ニュージーランド　アメリカ本土からのカップルと家族連れ　話しかけたり、話しかけられたり　おつまみのスナックを分け合ったりして楽しかったです。ショーが終われば、エスカレーターで1Fに降りそのままお部屋に！　とっても楽です。ウエルカムドリンクはマイタイでほろ酔い気味　2敗目はオレンジジュースでさっぱりと！　さすがはプロのダンサー　ルアウ　フラともに見応え十分です

A bit rough waters but the crew handed it beautifully! So fun and helpul...great guys!! Highly recommend!!

This luau is in a perfect location for anyone staying in Waikiki. If you don't want a long drive to and from your luau, book this one because it's walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki.

Another great thing about this luau is the food. Of all the luau I've attended, this is only the second one to offer a dish with tofu. Any luau that has good vegetarian/vegan options rates very high in my book. My friends were also very pleased with the meat selection.

The entertainment was enjoyable and impressive. I especially enjoyed the fire knife dancing. I also enjoyed how each of the dance routines represented a different Polynesian island. So you get to learn a little about the culture and history of the island nations that populated Hawaii.

There are some things I'm a bit unsure about (like whether you get a lei or not), but it should be a fun experience. Also, once the show starts, it becomes difficult to go get food from the buffet, so I think it's better to grab a good amount during the initial food pickup. If you take a little and think you can just go back if you need more, you might find it hard to go again and end up regretting it.

ちょっとどうかなぁ、と思うところもありますが（レイが貰えたり貰えなかったり）、楽しい経験になるでしょう。なお、ショーがスタートするとビュッフェの料理は取りに行き難くなりますから、最初の料理ピックアップの際に、シッカリ取っておいた方が良いと思います。少なめに取って、足りなければ、また行けばよいや、と思っていると、なんか行き難い雰囲気になって後悔するかも。

This was an absolutely wonderful trip that included drinks, music, and a lot of fun. The drinks were great but be prepared to only have the option between Carona and Mai Tais (which were strong and well made). The music was a combination of rap, pop, mixed with a little country and a variety of other genres. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking for a beautiful sunset in an amazing city with a lively crew.

This was our second time doing this same sunset cruise and we enjoyed it both times!! We even saw dolphins this time!

I participated with my elderly mother and husband. The food was very delicious, and the show was wonderful. In particular, the host's talk was entertaining, and we were enveloped in laughter and emotion. The guide was also kind and spoke slowly in easy-to-understand English for Japanese people, which was reassuring. After the show, we immediately got on the bus, so I thought it would be good to use the restroom after finishing the meal. The return bus had quite strong air conditioning, so a jacket is definitely necessary.

高齢の母と主人と3人で参加いたしました。食事もとても美味しくショーも素晴らしかったです。
特に司会の方のトークが面白くて笑いと感動に包まれました。ガイドの方も親切で、日本人にはわかりやすい英語でゆっくり話してくれますので、安心です。ショーが終わったらすぐにバスに乗りますので、食事が終わったところでトイレに行っておくといいと思いました。帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきいていますので必ず上着が必要です。
