The Luau dinner and Rock-A-Hula are situated at a very convenient location. The Luau buffet-style dinner had many different options including roast pig and dessert. The line was moving a bit slow. Not enough time to enjoy the food. The Rock-A-Show was very good. Really enjoyed the hula dancers and singing. Overall it is a great activity if you like dinner and show.

First time attending to this Luau and Polynesian Show called Rock -A-Hula. The dinner and show took place at a very convienent location along the Waikiki Beach. Getting situated to the seating was very easy. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. The dinner itself had a good variety buffet style and was tasty. Overall the line on waiting for the food could have been better. Took me appx 30 minutes before I was lining up for the buffet line. By the time I got my food, only had about 30 minutes left to eat. Felt a little rushed. The Rock-A-Hula definitely is a must see. Very nice production, dancers were great, and singers were impressive. Overall I highly recommend doing this activity.

I enjoyed seeing Jupiter, Mars , Saturn and various stars through a powerful telescope. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable pointing out lots of constellations that are visible to the naked eye. The sky was very clear, so we were able to see a lot.

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.

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.

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。

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。

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。

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!

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!

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.
