All Reviews for Wheelchair Accessible

Great, very enjoyable!!!

We upgraded to the full day, rather than sticking to the late entry. We wanted to have more time to check out the presentations etc. The presentations were interesting and well done. They came over as authentic rather than cheesy or Disneyesque. The staff were excellent all 'round. There were showers passing through, but it didn't take away from our day, as there were plenty of buildings/huts to head into, and showers don't seem to last too long in this part of the world. The entertainment and food at the Luau was good. It did take a long time to get to the lining up and eating part, but there were a lot of people. It would have been better if they started processing the tables through the buffet right after the unveiling of the pig, and we could just watch the entertainment as we went, instead of largely sitting for nearly an hour before anyone started lining up. The HA show was amazing, and I would recommend it too anyone going to Oahu. Overall an opportunity to learn about

My parents wanted to see it, so I made a reservation for the first time. The show itself was really great! Especially the impersonator of Michael Jackson was the best, and I want to see it again. I added a buffet dinner, but eating in a tent while it was raining and being close to the people next to us wasn't very pleasant. I think it might have been better to go for a proper course meal tour or a cocktail show. I definitely want to see it again!

両親が見てみたいと言うので、初めて予約しました。
ショー自体はとてもよかった♡
特にマイケルジャクソンのものまねの方は最高で、また見に行きたいと思います。
ビュッフェの夕食をつけたのですが、雨の降る中でのテントでの食事で、隣の人とも密着していたので、あまりよくなかったです。
ちゃんとしたコース料理のツアーにするか、カクテルショーでよかったかな？と思います。
また見に行きたいです！

This cruise was def. something worth seeing! It gets a little chilly out on the ocean; should bring a jacket, but it def. was amazing and beautiful! I totally recommend it to anyone!

We were greeted at the gate. Each member of the family received a lei. It was our first visit to Hawaii and wanted this experience. The greeter escorted us to our luggage and gave instructions on transportation. She also took our family picture. It was great.

I participated with my mother, my sisters, and my aunt. I signed up so that my mother and aunt, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, could truly experience it. On the day of the event, my mother and aunt got the time wrong and arrived about 30 minutes late, but the staff were very accommodating, and it didn't affect the rest of the schedule.

The activities included making leis and hula lessons, but thanks to the staff's arrangements, we also got to pick and crack open kukui nuts, which was an experience you can't find elsewhere. The teachers were exceptional, providing instruction that you wouldn't normally receive, and my beginner mother and aunt were very pleased. By the evening, they were so engrossed that they were reviewing what they learned at the hotel.

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of sightseeing, shopping, and gourmet food, but I believe participating in a tour like this, where you can touch on Hawaii's history and culture, will create wonderful memories. While going with friends is great, I think participating as a parent-child duo allows for unexpected discoveries and strengthens bonds.

It was a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much. However, while they do provide water, it's just a paper cup's worth per person, so I think it's better to bring your own bottle.

母と私達姉妹とおばと４人で参加しました。ハワイが初めての母と叔母にハワイを感じてほしくて申し込みしました。当日母達が時間を間違えて３０分程遅れてしまいましたが、スタッフの方の対応もよくてその後のスケジュールにも支障がでずに済みました。
内容はレイ作りとフラレッスンでしたが、それ以外にもスタッフの方の計らいでククイの実を拾って割ってみたりと他では体験出来ないような内容です。
レイとフラは先生も普段では、教えていただけないよな先生にきちんと教えて頂き初心者の母や叔母もとても喜んでいました。夜にはホテルで復習するほどに夢中になっていました。
ハワイというと観光、買い物、グルメと思いますが、ハワイの歴史や文化にふれあうこの様なツアーに参加してみるのもとてもいい思い出になると思います。
友達同士もいいけど親子で参加すると意外な発見や絆を感じることが出来ると思います。
とても大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
ただ、お水を頂けるのですが、一人一本のボトルではなく紙コップ一杯の水なのでマイボトルを持参したほうがいいと思います。

I participated on December 25th. I had been curious about this event every time I visited Hawaii, so I decided to join this time. First, we had a buffet meal at the special venue set up on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. The staff was very pleasant. The food was decent, but there weren't many options. During the meal, we enjoyed music and hula. After the meal, we went to the show venue. We were seated in the front row of the second floor, watching the dining scene on the first floor for a while. The impersonators of the stars were somewhat debatable in terms of resemblance, but they seemed to be genuinely trying to entertain us, making it enjoyable as a show. The Elvis impersonator came around shaking hands while singing in front of the front row on the second floor, creating a "wow" atmosphere. I don't think it's suitable for children, but I believe those who know Elvis and Michael Jackson will enjoy it.

　12月25日に参加しました。これまでハワイに行くたびに気になっていたので今回参加してみました。初めにロイヤルハワイアンＳＣ４階に設けられた特設会場でビュッフェの食事。スタッフはとても感じがよかったです。食事はまあまあ、品数は多くありません。食事の間、音楽とフラが楽しめます。食事の後ショーの会場へ。私たちは２階席の最前列。しばらく１階席の食事の様子を眺めていることになります。スターのそっくりさんは、似ているかというと微妙な感じなのですが、なんか一生懸命に楽しませてくれている感じでショーとして楽しめました。プレスリーのそっくりさんが、２階の最前列の前を歌いながら握手して回ってくれ、やっぱり「キャー」という雰囲気になりました。お子さんには向いているとは思いませんが、プレスリーやマイケルジャクソンを知る世代は楽しめると思います。

After Pearl Harbor, the most exciting, educational and enjoyable site of our initial trip to Hawaii. Will do again and again each time we visit the Islands.

This was a once in a lifetime trip for my family. The lei greeting was a great beginning to a fabulous vacation. I wasnt expecting her to not only greet us off the plane but also help us get our luggage and take us to our next destination point.

My only concern would be, if this was a surprise for someone I could see how someone would walk by them and not read the signs to see that the lei greeting was for them.

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

I signed up for the luau. At first, I made a reservation without a meal, but I reconsidered and it turned out to be a great decision. The buffet was plentiful and delicious, but the welcome drink seemed to be a Blue Hawaii style with zero alcohol. During the meal, a young couple played the ukulele and performed hula, and I felt their sincerity and dedication. They were not overly pushy, which was very refreshing.

As for the impersonation show members, there were two Elvis impersonators (one for the first half and one for the second half), as well as Lady Gaga, Elton John, and Michael Jackson. I was impressed by how well they researched and practiced their performances, showing a strong professional spirit and dedication to their work.

At the end of the show, we were able to take commemorative photos together and get autographs. Some people missed out on getting autographs, but a manager-like person in a black suit and glasses quickly went to the dressing room and brought back autographs for everyone, which made me very happy. I didn’t catch their name, but I am grateful. It was so much fun!

　ルアウつきで申し込みました。最初、食事なしで予約し、考え直して当たりでした。BUFFET式で、種類も多く、おいしかったですが、ウエルカムドリンクが、ブルーハワイ風でアルコール分はゼロだったような．．．　食事中、ウクレレで曲をかなで、フラを披露してくれた、若いふたりが一生懸命で、誠実さを感じました。客ずれしてなくてとても好感を持てました。　ものまねショーのメンバーでは、プレスリー（二人いて、前半、後半）、ガガ、エルトン・ジョン、マイケル・ジャクソン、全員よく本人達を研究し、練習を重ねプロ意識を持ち仕事してるな、頑張ってるな、と感心しました。　ショー終了時、記念写真を一緒にとれましたし、サインももらえ、もらいそこねた人もいたのですが、黒いスーツで、眼鏡をかけた、マネージャーらしき人が機転をきかせて楽屋まで行き、貰ってきてくれ、全員分のサインがそろい、とても嬉しかったです。名まえはわかりませんでしたが、感謝してます。　すごく楽しかったです！

Did not like the Luau food at all! Very thankful that they had great ice cream at the concession before the show

This was a great surprise for my family. After a 11 hour flight, they were excited by the surprise at the gate. Your employees were also very helpful with details of the airport and transportation questions and recommendations.

I had seen a hula dance show in Guam before. I wondered if it would be similar, but since I was in Hawaii, I decided to watch it there as well. Even though the type of dance was the same, it was truly amazing no matter how many times I saw it!!! I got to see a lot of different types of dances, and the fire dance was absolutely captivating!!! It was so incredible that I still can't forget it and I want to see it again☆ The women were beautiful, and the men were strong♪ It was a lot of fun!!!

以前グアムでもフラダンスショーは見たことがありました。
似た感じなのかなぁと思いましたが、せっかくなのでハワイ
でも見る事に♪
ダンスの種類は同じでもやっぱり何度見てもすばらしい!!!
いろんな種類のダンスがいっぱい見れたし、何と言っても
ファイヤーダンスがくぎ付け!!!
すごくて今でも忘れられないしまた見たいって思いました☆
女性は綺麗だったし男性はたくましかったし♪
とても楽しかったです!!!

We had a very good time at the polynisian cultural center. Had an opportunity to understand about the different cultures in the polynesian islands.

I participated in a company trip with my colleagues. We also attended a cruising show, but unlike the audience participation shows, this one had a much more relaxed pace, and there were moments when I felt a bit sleepy just watching. Since we had premium seats, we were the first to eat, but the food was quite bland, so I didn't enjoy it much. I was left with the impression that the fruit was the most delicious part, which was disappointing. The climax of the fire dance was very impressive, but considering the food and the price, I can't say I was completely satisfied.

会社の旅行で同僚達と参加しました。
クルージングのショーにも参加しましたが客席参加のものとは異なり、かなりゆったりした進行で、ほとんどがショーを見だけで若干眠くなる場面もありました。
プレミアムシートだったので、食事は一番乗りで食べられたのですが、内容が大味すぎて今ひとつ食はすすみませんでした。フルーツが一番美味しかったような印象なのが残念に感じました。
クライマックスのファイアーダンスは見応え満点でしたが、食事、値段なども合わせると大満足とはいきませんでした。

Since I attended alone, I chose the cocktail and show-only course. Everything was in English, but even as someone who doesn't usually listen to Western music, I recognized most of the songs, and rather than just impersonations, the entertainers were fantastic, so I enjoyed it until the end.

However, the more expensive course has seats on the first floor (I was on the second floor), where the stars come closer, and it feels like you're participating in the show. I thought I would like to choose that course next time.

Still, even with the cocktail-only course, I was able to take photos with the performers after the show.

一人での参加だったのでカクテル＆ショーのみのコースにしました。
全て英語でしたが、普段洋楽を聴かない私でも知っている曲ばかりだったし、モノマネと言うよりエンターティナーとして素晴らしかったので最後まで楽しめました。

でも高いコースの方が1階席で(私は2階でした)スターも近くに来てくれるし、ショーに参加してるような気分になれそう。
次回はそちらのコースにしたいと思いました。

でも、カクテルのみのコースでも終了後に出演者と一緒に写真を撮れました。

It was a long wait from when we entered until the show started, and since we went on the day of our arrival, I ended up feeling sleepy towards the end of the show. We had to go up in turns to get the food, but our seats were towards the back, so we had to wait quite a bit and had nothing to do in the meantime. It was a bit disappointing. However, we made some good memories.

入ってから、ショーが始まるまでが長く、到着日に行ったので、ショーの終わりの方は睡くなって、しまいました。
料理も順番に取りに行くのですが、私たちの席は最後の方だったので、かなり待たされ、ずっとする事もなくダラダラでした。
少し残念。
でもいい思い出ができました。

Good

What an amazing experience!!!! I will be back :-)

I have been here before, so this was my second visit. Just as amazing as the first time I was there. The students who run the programs are so friendly and knowledgeable. The day is very busy, but so much fun. Definitely worth having the tour guide. The center is kept spotless and all of the shows are enjoyable. The best place to visit to learn about the culture you are visiting. Would visit here every time I am on the island. Great trip! Luau is fun and upbeat. The night show is the best!

We were greeted by a friendly lady that was identified by the sign she was holding with our names and she had a card with congratulations on our 50th anniversary. She took the time to take pictures of us with our leis and then was very hepful in directing us to the areafor taxi pickup. The leis were beautiful, fresh, made complely from flowers with no bead fillers, and lasted the week. I would highly recommend them.

This was a full day. Prepare to be exhausted by the end of it. BUT it was well worth it. We paid the extra to use our guide for the day (cousin Cissy) which for sure was the best plan since we would not have seen half of the exhibits and demonstrations that he took us to had we gone it alone. Well worth the extra expense. Cousin Cissy was the best guide - he was totally passionate for his culture and very knowledgeable. He genuinely cared that we saw the best of his people. A perfect day out which ended with an amazing show - a must to see. Our only compaint was the food - it was disappointing and bland. But plenty of it so we did not go hungry.

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience

If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.

Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you

Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I participated in a dinner show for the first time. While a similar show can be enjoyed at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I chose this one because my accommodation was at Hilton and I was traveling with my 5-year-old child, allowing us to enjoy it without wasting travel time.

When making the reservation, I debated between regular seating and the Golden Circle seats. I opted for the Golden Circle seats, hoping to arrive early and sit in the front row. As planned, we arrived early at the meeting point, maintained a good position during the move, and entered the venue ahead of time. However, the seat assigned to us by the staff was a somewhat awkward spot with a few people in front of us. Many front-row seats in the Golden Circle were available, but I believe they were reserved for group guests. Since we were a party of three, we ended up sharing a table with other smaller groups.

The venue had large square tables for eight set up on three sides of a big stage, with the closest tables to the stage designated as Golden Seats. The regular seats were located about two meters behind the Golden Seats, separated by an aisle. The seat at the very back of the Golden Seats was only about two meters different from the regular seats. Additionally, if you are an owner of the Hilton Grand Vacation Club, you could upgrade to the Golden Seats for free at the regular seat price. I ended up spending unnecessarily without knowing this.

In terms of cost performance, I would rate the regular seats three stars and the Golden Circle seats two stars. The luau itself was very good.

通算6回目のハワイで、初めてこのようなディナーショーに参加しました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターでも同じようなショーが楽しめますが、宿泊先がヒルトンだったのと、5歳になる子供が一緒のため、移動時間のロスなく楽しめるこちらにしました。

予約の際、普通席かゴールデンサークル席か迷いましたが、早めに行って最前列で観れれば、と思い、ゴールデンサークル席にしました。結果、予定通り早めに集合場所に行き、移動中も良い位置をキープし早めに会場入りできましたが、係りの方に案内された席は前に数名いる中途半端な席でした。他のゴールデンサークル席の最前列は沢山開いていたのに、団体客用に取っておく必要があるのだと思います。うちは３名参加だったので、他の少人数の参加者との相席になりました。

会場は四角い大きな舞台の３辺に８名掛けのテーブルが並べられ、舞台から一番近いテーブルがゴールデンシートになっていました。ゴールデンシートから２ｍほどの通路を挟んだ後方のテーブルが普通席です。ゴールデンシートの一番後ろの席になると、普通席と２ｍほどしか変わりません。
また、ヒルトン・グランド・バケーション・クラブのオーナーなら、普通席の料金でゴールデンシート席へ無料アップグレードできました。知らずに無駄な出費をしてしまいました。
コスパは普通席なら☆３つ、ゴールデンサークル席なら☆２つ。
ルアウ自体はとても良かったです。

This was our 21st visit to the islands but the first for our grandsons fiance. The greeting was for her and it was everything we hoped for and more. We were very satisfied and she was estatic. Thank you for a wonderful experience once again.

The Lindhorsts

Everyone was nice almost to the creepy extreme if you are from NY or Chicago. Big BYU influence may have been the reason for the overly dressed female workers. Very child friendly environment. Would defiantly take a young family there.

The Polynesian Culture Center was a great experience. The representations of the countries were great. The canoe ride, the canoe parade, and the activities were very well done. Our guides, Hannah and Saydie were awesome. They really made our tour special, and were very informative. The HA fire show was amazing !

The only thing that was disappointing was the dinner. There wasn't much of a variety. I went back for seconds and there was barely any food left, and no fruit. It seemed that we were rushed throught dinner. I was very disappointed in what I thought would be an "authentic" luau.

I attended the Chief's luau with my husband, siblings/spouses, and my elderly parents. A great time was had by all....even got my parents (temporary) tattooed at the event! We enjoyed the pre-show activities and the food was delicious. Chief and his group of entertainers put on an excellent show. This was my first luau, but my siblings had been to others on previous visits and said Chief's luau was their favorite.

I participated in the VIP room plan with meals included. The impersonations were fantastic, aiming for perfection. However, it became boring. The time spent was excessively long. Starting with drink time in the green room, followed by waiting, and finally the show after finishing the meal. It was over five hours from the meeting time to when we were finally released. I was quite sleepy during the event, battling drowsiness. I felt bad being in the second row from the front... However, taking a commemorative photo with the impersonators was a nice memory. The food was surprisingly decent for the price. If you haven't seen it before, I think it's worth going, but the enjoyment may vary depending on your interest in the era and music.

食事付きVIPルームのプランで参加しました。
ものまね自体は完璧性を求めて素晴らしかったです。
ただ、飽きます。拘束されている時間が非常に長すぎる。
グリーンルームでのドリンクタイムから始まり、待機時間、食事を済ませてやっとのショー。集合時間から開放される時間まで5時間以上。
かなり、途中で睡魔が襲ってきて 睡魔との戦いでした。
前から2列目だったので、申し訳なかったのですが……。
ものまね芸人さんとの記念写真は思い出になっていいと思います。
食事も意外と、値段相応にそこそこいけます。
一度見たことがなければ、行くのもアリだとは思いますが、
年代と音楽に関しての関心度で、楽しさが変わると思います。
