Upon arrival to the Luau we were greeted by a young lady selling beautiful purple lei’s. Of course we had to have one not only for the beauty, but the feeling of being welcomed in to the community as well.
The host/dancer/MC/ bartender was extremely friendly with everyone. We were ushered to our seats by a wonderful young man that not only performed at the luau, but also at Rock a Hula. This young man was full of passion for the culture and the love of dance.
The drinks and pineapple were at great start to our dinner as well as the traditional dancing while we waited for the main course.
There was plenty of dishes to chose from including seafood, pork, beef, chicken, and even vegetarian choices. I personally recommend the fried pig skin as it was the absolute most delectable dish we were privy to enjoy during our visit. After dinner we tried each of the 5 different desserts. None of them blow your socks off, but are nonetheless tasty as well. There is also after dinner coffee for those of you who enjoy a nice hot cup of Joe before the Rock a Hula.
You could order drinks during dinner and before the Rock a Hula began as well.
The choice of a local musician and singer was a wonderful way to start the show. The classic Elvis performance seemed to fit the show perfectly and added to the fun filled and interactive show. The only thing that felt out of place was the Michael Jackson performance. While it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t seem to fit in to the rest of the event in general. I would give the luau and Rock a Hula a 7 out of 10 stars.

Overall we got exactly what we were expecting, which, for us, was actually refreshing. So many businesses mislead these days. We were happy with our experience and pleasantly surprised at the Rock A Hula show afterwards.

Our first impression was great. The setup under the large tents and the decor and dishware were all very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and immediately served our complimentary Mai Tai and offered fresh pineapple at the table. We ordered more adult beverages and while they tasted fine, did not seem to have much if any alcohol in them. The MC did a good job of keeping things running smoothly and had an upbeat attitude. We enjoyed the dancers and learning to hula felt very welcoming. They presented the roasted pig with the traditional apple in its mouth. Definitely try some along with the crispy skin. We found the food at the buffet somewhat bland, but that was our experience throughout most of Hawaii.

After dinner we proceeded to the large theater for the show. This presentation is much bigger and longer than we anticipated. We would attend this show by itself without the dinner and pay handsomely for it. The Elvis and MJ impersonators were great! The charisma and crowd interactions of both of them and other entertainers were spot on! The show is a bit long and disjointed though. And while we do love MJ and his songs, some seemed a bit "off-brand" for a Hawaiian themed hula show. Thriller was one, even though the zombies were great and so was Michael.

Overall we'd give the luau and show a 7 out of 10. Food and drinks could be better and show could be shorter and more on-brand. We would still highly recommend it, especially for the price.

We attended the Chief's Luau and had a great time. The meal was very good, and the show was outstanding. The chief himself was very entertaining and funny.

Great communication, and a very beautiful lei presentation! Made us feel very welcome to Hawaii and a great first experience on our vacation. Definitely worth the money.

Such a lovely cruise so well organised from start to finish crew and staff couldn’t do enough for you so nice and friendly great evening food good as well

We loved the whole day. A great experience learning about all the different cultures. We loved the show at night. Very talented young people. What a great program you have for young people to go to university

The PCC was a wonderful place to spend a day. We felt welcome and valued by everyone. The activities and shows were really fun and entertaining, and the place is beautifully maintained.

Our tour operators were also very good. There was a guide waiting at the pickup location, helping everyone to sign in and get ready for the bus. While we were enroute, the guide was entertaining and helped the time pass quickly. Then at the end of the day, the bus was right there where we were told it would be, and the trip home was smooth.

Was a great time for all of us. We all loved it. The entertainment was great

The meals were served buffet-style, and I was able to eat until I was full. The flavors were delicious. The focus was on meat, but there were also fish and vegetables available. The seating arrangement during the meal felt a bit cramped. It seems that seats are assigned based on the order of arrival at the venue. During the show, we wore masks while watching. It seemed that not many people around me were wearing masks. There appeared to be many tourists from outside Japan. Some staff members could speak a little Japanese. The hula dance and fire dance were also enjoyable.

食事はビッフェ形式で、お腹いっぱい食べることができました。味も美味しかったです。
お肉が中心でしたが、魚や野菜もありました。
食事中の座席の間隔は狭い印象です。会場到着順に座席が指定されているようです。
ショー中はマスクを着用して、鑑賞しました。
周りの方はあまりマスクはしておりません。
日本国外の観光客の方が多い印象でした。
スタッフは日本語も多少しゃべれる方がおりました。
フラダンスにファイヤーダンスもあり楽しかったです。

I had been going to Hawaii every year, but due to the pandemic, it had been three years since my last visit. Usually, I would watch hula shows on the Big Island, Maui, or Kauai. This time, I was excited to participate in the Rock-a-Hula show in Waikiki for the first time.

The buffet seating was surprisingly cramped, considering the pandemic, and the food was average, so I can't really recommend it. After the meal, we moved to the hall where the show began. Whether or not the performers resembled Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley is another story, but the indoor performance was glamorous and provided a fun time.

If I have someone to take to Hawaii again, I would like to participate once more.

毎年通っていたハワイもコロナ禍で３年ぶり、例年はハワイ島やマウイ島、カウアイ島でフラショーを見ることが恒例でした。
今回はワイキキで初めて見るロック・ア・フラショウを楽しみに参加しました。
ビュッフェはコロナ禍とは思えないほど狭い間隔に座らされ、食事の内容も普通であまりお勧めとは言えません。
食事の後、場所をホールに移動してショーが始まりました。
マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー（もどき）が似ているかは別として
室内での観劇は煌びやかで楽しいひと時でした。
またハワイへ連れていく人がいたら参加したいと思います。

This sunset cruise was an awesome way to end our vacation. The fireworks, food, entertainment and service was phenomenal. Ryan was our server and was so kind and service on point. Can't wait to return

The meal was delicious. However, the VIP guests ended up having their meals in a cramped seating arrangement, so there wasn't really a sense of exclusivity compared to others. The venue for the show isn't very large, so I thought that even seats in the back would be sufficient for viewing without needing to reserve VIP seats. The venue is quite cold, so a jacket is essential. There are impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but they might not appeal to those from different generations. The fire show was good.

食事は美味しかったです。
ただVIP席の人たちも結局詰め詰めのお席での食事でしたので、他の方たちとの特別感は特になかったです。
ショーの会場内もそんなに広くないので、べつにVIPで予約しなくても後方の席でも十分観覧できるなと思いました。
会場はとにかく寒いので羽織ものは必須です。
エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのモノマネさんがでてくるのですが、世代が違う方にはあまり受けないかもしれません。
ファイアーショーは良かったです。

This was one of our best experiences on Oahu. The "islands" were informative and interesting. We had an enjoyable time. Not so crazy about Pounder's Restaurant but the evening buffet was terrific. The evening show was amazing. We would do this again.

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to go to a luau show on Oahu and did some research. I decided on this one because of its great location in the heart of Waikiki. It's located within the Royal Hawaiian Center, so I could shop as well, and it was very convenient being so close to the hotel.

The evening started with a buffet, and the staff were very friendly. There were people from various countries at the same table, and we all introduced ourselves, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Don't worry if you can't speak English! When I mentioned it was our honeymoon, they even sang a song for us on the spot, which made me really happy.

The food was very American (laughs), and there was so much of it that I ended up quite full. After the meal, we headed to the show venue. The stage was much closer than I expected, and with a live band, it felt like a concert venue. The show started with hula dancing from different eras, followed by impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. All the songs were familiar, and I had a great time.

The highlight was definitely the fire dance. It was truly breathtaking. Overall, I felt it was worth attending, and I highly recommend it!

初めてのハワイということで、オアフ島内でルアウショーに行きたくて色々と調べていたのですが、ワイキキ中心にあるという立地の良さで決めました。ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあるので、買い物もできますしホテルからとても近くて大変便利でした。
まず初めはビュッフェから始まるのですが、スタッフの方たちがとてもフレンドリーでした。同じテーブルには様々な国の方がいらしていたのですが、みんなで自己紹介しあって和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。英語ができなくても全然大丈夫です！新婚旅行だと伝えると即興で歌ってくださり、嬉しかったです。
食事内容はザ・アメリカンという感じ(笑)とにかく量が多いのでお腹いっぱいになりました。
食事が終わるとショー会場へ。
思ったよりもステージがとても近く、生バンドということもあり、ライブハウスのような感じでした。年代ごとのフラダンスから始まり、エルヴィスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのステージ続きました。聴いたことある曲ばかりでとても楽しめました。
そしてなりよりも凄かったのがファイヤーダンスです。とにかく圧巻でした。全体を通して行ってよかったと思いました。おすすめです！

Really enjoyed our Sunset Cruise! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and the entertainment was great. The entertainers were very talented and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.

Had a lovely evening with my fiancé, brother, and his wife. The food was excellent, and the sunset view was gorgeous at the top deck. The live shows were also very enjoyable. An overall wonderful experience that will never be forgotten.

Chief was an incredible host. He was genuine, funny and awesome. The show was spectacular. I was blown away by the talent. The fire show was breathtaking. We were so touched by the recognition of anniversaries. The flowers were a beautiful touch. I highly recommend the Chief Luau. No trip to Hawaii will be complete with a visit to see the Chief! Mahalo!

Super fun experience! The show was by far the most entertaining show we experienced during our stay in Oahu. The dancing was beautiful and the fire dancing was jaw dropping! We attended during our honeymoon and we were made to feel unbelievable special despite countless honeymooners and anniversaries attending as well. The only reason I did not award 5 stars is because the food was pretty mediocre. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. The drinks however, were delicious so that makes up for it!

Super romantic for our honeymoon! Great drinks and pleasantly surprising food! Super fresh food and lots of options! The roast beef was by far my favorite! The hosts were very accommodating and did everything they could in their power to make us feel special! After dinner show was also very entertaining and fun to watch. Everything else was a bonus because the sunset was the real star of the show! Take as many pics as you can!

The tour was great. Our tour guy Big Tony made it exceptionally great. He was fun and very informative. He made us feel welcomed and was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the island. He made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to even take pictures for us. I would definitely recommend this tour and hopefully you get Big Tony.

The pickup was quick and efficient and comfortable from the bus tour company. The guide told us what to expect before we arrived and showed a safety video while we were driving. From there we were escorted to the boat. Then swiftly seated at our table. The inside of the ship was very nice and tables were set and ready to receive us. We were right next to the stage. The live music was awesome and our entertainment was nonstop from a ukulele Hawaiian singer to Jazz saxophone player with a singer, then an amazing array of traditional Hawaiian dancers that brought excitement and energy to the cruise. The day went was Friday so the captain stayed out longer for the Fireworks at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. (Caution if you get motion sickness take precautions Dramamine or motion sickness bands are a must. No joke) It was our wedding anniversary we had the best time and the lobster and steak were amazing.

I brought my family to the luau since it was our first time to Hawaii. The dancers, musicians and fire knife dancers were very impressive. The food was abundant and pretty good. The weather cooperated, and it was a lovely evening.
Compared to other luau experiences I looked at, this one was affordable. However, I didn’t feel like the food was as good as it could have been. The chicken was good—but it was dark meat. The pork was tender but had little flavor. The dessert was cake with a few pieces of pineapple next to it. Pretty expensive for dinner and entertainment.
It was nice that two drink tickets for beer, wine or Mai Tais were included with each ticket and free water and juice were available to all.
It was fun that the cast came out afterwards so people could have their pictures taken with them.

Everyone is super friendly and fun highly recommended

Do not miss this opportunity to gaze into the Universe— it is transporting and transformative! Greg was incredibly knowledgeable and kind— such a perfect guide to take with you on this life changing experience! His passion is palpable and his astronomical equipment is out of this world— pun intended! ;). We have told everyone about this awesome activity and will absolutely be back to a Hawaii and back to see Greg, the craters on the moon, the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter! Thank you Stars Above Hawaii for creating such a special night for us!

I’m very satisfied with their service , I recommend to everyone, very fun , good food , good service
Music, dance , food , all you need for fun night ,
Watching the sunset on the boat was amazing
Thank you for making a memorable time for us

We participated in this tour at the beginning of our honeymoon. Since it was both of our first trips to Hawaii, this tour, which combined "food" and "entertainment," felt like a great deal.

**Buffet Dinner**
The dinner venue was filled with people from various nationalities, not just Japanese. Everyone had different reasons for joining; there were honeymooners like us, as well as those celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries. The food was prioritized for VIP seating, so the wait time felt a bit long, but during that time, the staff came to chat with us and even sang celebratory songs with a ukulele, which made the wait enjoyable. The buffet menu featured a colorful array of Hawaiian fish, meat, vegetables, and sweet potatoes, allowing us to enjoy not just the taste but also the presentation. There were also hula lessons during the meal, making it hard to decide whether to watch or eat, and before we knew it, dinner time was over. I regretted not having enough time to go for a second round! (laughs) Overall, the cast members were cheerful and friendly, and we had a great time chatting with others at our table.

**Showtime**
After dinner, we moved to the hall where the "Rock-a-Hula Show" began. The seating was mostly open, and aside from the VIP designated seats, we could sit anywhere there was space. The cast members from the dinner also performed as dancers, so it was fun to spot our server from earlier! The show featured a mix of different eras and genres, which was very interesting. The performances by local professional singers, as well as the cast members impersonating Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, were fantastic. Even songs we didn't know were enjoyable, and there was a rich variety of dance styles and highlights. Dancers descended from the ceiling, and surfboards were used on stage—such impressive staging! There were also traditional Hawaiian music and dance performances, with explanations in between, making it a time of both enjoyment and learning. Personally, the most impressive part was the fire dance. Watching a small boy skillfully dance while manipulating flames was breathtaking, and I held my breath in awe, giving a big round of applause during his final pose. After the show, we could meet the cast members in the lobby for photos, which was a wonderful way to share our thoughts while the excitement was still fresh.

Although some time has passed since we participated, reflecting on the fun memories made this review longer than I intended. However, no matter how much I write, "seeing is believing." With all five senses engaged—taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch—this tour truly allows you to soak in Hawaii. I highly recommend it!

ハネムーンの序盤に参加しました。
夫婦揃ってハワイ旅行が初めてということもあり、「食」と「エンターテインメント」がセットになったこちらのツアーはとてもお得感がありました。

ビュッフェディナー
ディナー会場には 日本人だけでなく、さまざまな国籍の方がいます。また、参加のきっかけも人それぞれで、私たちのようなハネムーナーもいればお誕生日の方や結婚記念日のご夫婦など、特別な日を祝いに来ている方がたくさんいらっしゃいました。料理はVIP席の方が優先なので、取りに行けるまでの待ち時間は少し長めに感じましたが、その間にもスタッフの方が話し掛けにきてくださったり、ウクレレでお祝いの歌を歌ってくださったりと、ただ「待つ」だけではなかったのが嬉しかったです。
ビュッフェメニューもハワイのお魚やお肉・野菜やお芋が色とりどりに揃っており、味だけでなく見た目も楽しめました。食事の途中でもフラ講座などがあり、そちらも見たいしご飯も食べたいしで、あっという間のディナータイム。二周目を取りに行く間もなく食事の時間が終わってしまったのが悔やまれる……！(笑) とにかく、案内のキャストさんたちがとても朗らかで親しみやすく、近くの席になった他の皆さんともワイワイ盛り上がりました。

ショータイム
食事が終わると、ホールに移動していよいよ「ロック・ア・フラショー」が始まります。客席はほとんど自由席になっており、VIPの指定席以外は空いていればどこでも座れました。ディナー会場にいたキャストさんもダンサーとして登壇しているので、「あ！さっきのお兄さんだ！」と自分の席の担当キャストさんを探すのもまた一興。ショーの内容も、年代・ジャンルもあれこれ散りばめられていてたいへん興味深かったです。
現地のプロシンガーさんのオリジナルソングや、エルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮するキャストさんのパフォーマンスも素晴らしく、知っている曲はもちろんのこと、知らない曲でもノリノリで楽しめます。また、歌だけでなく踊りの種類や見どころも豊富で、天井からダンサーさんが降りてきたり、舞台上でサーフボードを乗り回したりと、演出もお見事！ハワイの伝統的な音楽や踊りの演目もあり、合間には解説もしてくれるので、愉しむだけではなく学びもあるひとときでした。個人的に一番印象的だったのは、ファイアー・ダンス。身体の小さな少年が、全身で炎を操りながら踊る姿は圧巻で、息を呑みながら見守り、決めポーズでは感動の鳥肌とともに大きな拍手を贈りました。終演後はロビーでキャストさんたちと面会・記念写真撮影もできるので、気持ちが熱いうちに感想を直接伝えられるのが最高に嬉しかったです。

参加してから少し経っているにもかかわらず、楽しかった思い出をひとつひとつ振り返っていたら 感想が長くなってしまいました。しかし、どれだけ長く書いたところで、「百聞は一見に如かず」です。味覚・聴覚・視覚・嗅覚・触覚……まさに、全身でハワイを浴びられるツアーだと思います。ぜひ！

The show was great! The Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators were super! The luau was what we expected; we normally don't do buffets. But the food was plentiful and the Mai Tai was great! Every employee had a smile on their face and seemed really happy that we were there. I can't say enough about the show; it made the night a real good value!

My wife and I participated on the last night of our honeymoon. We had dinner at the dining venue on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and then we went to the show. The traditional Hawaiian dances and the Michael Jackson show were a lot of fun and made for a fantastic day. The food was delicious, and the meat was exquisite. During the show, I got to shake hands with Michael and received a towel from Elvis. The program kept the audience engaged with various songs and dances, and time flew by quickly. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone going to Hawaii when I return to Japan! Thank you!

奥さんとハネムーンで最終日の夜に参加しました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にある食事会場でご飯を食べその後ショーに行く流れでした。
ハワイの伝統的なダンスやマイケルジャクソンのショーはとても楽しく最高の一日になりました。
料理も美味しくお肉は絶品でした。
ショーの途中でマイケルと握手をしたり、エルビスからタオルを貰ったりと観客を飽きさせない構成、次々と色々な歌やダンスが繰り広げられあっという間に時間が経ってしまいました。
ぜひ日本に帰ったらハワイに行く人にお勧めしたいと思います!ありがとうございました

From before we stepped into the venue, we were pleased! We had a scheduling snafu (our own fault), and was so pleased with how the manager, Joyce, handled it! (Thanks again Joyce, for your help!) Then, we were off to the luau. Things were seamless; we were greeted with smiling faces throughout the night. After being given our Mai Tai, we were seated and ate the great typical luau foods. After eating salad, beef, pork, potatoes, mac salad, desserts, etc., with some entertainment sprinkled in, we headed to the outstanding show.

The show was spectacular! Great music and dance from the 1920's to the present. It was great to see that some of the hard-working servers at the meal then went onstage as hula dancers and singers! The Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators were fabulous! They had the voices, movements and showmanship down pat! It ended with a fire show.

At the end, they announced that we could get photos taken with the Michael and Elvis. I thought there would be someone there taking photos (and about $20), but was pleasantly surprised that we could just walk up to the stars and take pictures on our phones for free!

I wouldn't hesitate to go again, and recommend it to anyone! Time in Waikiki is valuable; this is a great way to spend a whole evening!
