What a totally enjoyable day. Well worth it. I recommend getting the group guided tour inside the Center to save time and get a better experience.

This Hawaii travel was our 4th visit and 1st to Oahu, we actually had multiple times of Luau at the Maui, Big Island, Kauai and even in the Oahu.
I can definitely vote Rock-a-Hura show was one of our best show out of what we experienced many Luau show.
We took show + Luau dinner, surprising was hura dancers at the Luau are all real dancers of main rock-a-hura show, they are very kind and friendly during our Luau dinner, I even still remember our table host whose name is Megan, she was also performed in the main show. Every table had assigned a dancer as host and they were taking care of all dinner process and took picture together, isn't it amazing?
Main show also was wonderful, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc.. all rockers were amazing as well as hura dancers who's already known during Luau dinner.
I strongly recommend this show if you are staying at the Oahu.

This is my second time participating after a year. Last time, I only attended the show, so this was my first experience with the buffet. The staff were very kind, dancing close by, which made the meal enjoyable. And to my surprise, these staff members were also performers in the show! It felt very personal, and the fun was doubled. The content of the show was completely different from a year ago, making it feel fresh, and everyone's skill level was high. I definitely want to see it again when I come to Hawaii.

1年ぶり、２回目の参加です。
前回はショーのみだったので、ビュッフェ付きは初めてでしたが、
スタッフの方達がとても親切で、身近で踊ってくれたりと楽しく食事をすることが出来ました。
そしてなんと、このスタッフ達がショーの出演者でビックリ！
とっても身近に感じられて、楽しさも倍増しました。
ショーの内容も１年前とは全然変わっていて新鮮だったし、皆さんの技術力も高く、ハワイに来た際は又是非観たいと思いました。

Before the show, we had dinner at a buffet-style restaurant on the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center's fourth floor. We were first offered drinks, and we could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Regardless of our choice, the drinks were served in Hawaiian-style cocktail glasses. The meal included a whole roasted pig, beef, salads, bread, desserts, and coffee, leaving us completely full. The dinner venue also featured hula performances and Hawaiian music, making the dining experience enjoyable. Finally, we entered the show venue and took our seats. The show was not only filled with impersonators of Elvis and Michael but also included hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to see it again!

ショーの前に食事でした。ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターの４階のテラスみたいなところでブッフェ形式のディナーを頂きました。最初にドリンクサービスがあり、アルコール入りかノンアルコールかを選べました。どちらを選んでもハワイらしいカクテルグラスででてきました。食事は豚の丸焼きのほかビーフやサラダやパン、デザートやコーヒーまでありお腹いっぱいになりました。ディナー会場でもフラやハワイアンの曲の演奏もあり食事中も楽しめました。いよいよショー会場に入り席に着きます。ショーはプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーだけでなくフラダンスありタヒチアンダンスありファイアーダンスありの盛沢山でとっても楽しめました。また観たいと思います！

I applied with a light heart, wanting to see a show that feels Hawaiian. The buffet food might not be suitable for those who dislike greasy dishes, but there was plenty of delicious meat and fish. It might be difficult to go back for more food due to the show and seating arrangements, but I think one plate will be satisfying.

As for the show, I enjoyed both traditional Hawaiian hula and fire dancing, as well as a rock show, and I was very satisfied with the ample time given. The cast members even came up to the second-floor seats during the show, so for those who want to shake hands, I recommend moving early after the buffet to secure seats in the front row or on the aisle.

By the way, if I were to go again, I think I would prefer a plan without the buffet.

なにかハワイらしいショーも観てみたいなと、軽い気持ちで申込みました。
ビュッフェの料理は、脂っこいのが苦手な人には向かないかもしれませんが、肉や魚の料理がたっぷりで美味しかったです。ショーや席の都合で、料理を何度も取りに行くのは難しいかもしれませんが、1皿でも満足できると思います。
ショーの方は、ハワイらしいフラやファイヤーダンスとロックショーの両方が楽しめ、時間もたっぷりで満足でした。
途中でショーのキャストさんが2階席まで来てくれたりもするので、握手などしたい方は、ビュッフェのあとは早めに移動し、最前列や通路側の席を確保すると良いと思います。
ちなみに、もし次回行くとしたらビュッフェ無しのプランでいいかな、とは思います。

The night started off with hula dancing, and then transitioned into dining and then the show. It's only being honest when I say the food was a disappointing. I guess I expected it to be a little more foreign. It tasted great and me and my mom both got more than enough. The hosts were extremely original and open and encouraging to conversation. The girls were gorgeous and so attentive. There was only one guy host, Zack and he was really considerate, High energy and fun. The show definitely climaxes. It was so exciting. All of the performers looked happy to be there and we're putting themselves into it. It's obvious that alot of effort went into the choreography, set up and music. I loved that the singing was live and the VOICES!! Wow. Micheal Jackson, Katy Perry, Elvis in mpersonations were more than exceptional.

I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.

At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.

The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.

If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.

The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.

　ゴールデンシート＜前方席確約＞で参加しました。席も良かったですし，ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので，この席にして良かったと思います。

　会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので，着席するまでに長い行列ができます。

　スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが，チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は，ショーの最後の方で，5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。

　1時間近く待つのが嫌なら，18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。

　ショーは，ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて，楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが，英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。

　

We had such a good time. There was 7 of us in our group. Some of us had been to Oahu before and some had not. We wanted to take a smaller, more personal tour. So we could all be TOGETHER and learn some of the history of the islands while seeing all the sights.
Our driver was insightful, and fun. He answered all of our inquiries with so much knowledge.
Everyone of us enjoyed the whole tour. It was nice to be able to talk, visit, take pictures and not have to worry about driving and finding the way ourselves.
We didn't feel rushed... got to see everything at each stop.
Mahalo for a wonderful day...

Rock-a-hula was awesome! The waitress were very helpful and friendly. During the dinner they entertained us with singing and dancing. The food was great and there were a good selection to choose from. Megan, the waitress was very easy to talk to and did a great job during her performance. All the performers did a great job impersonating each artist. The guy who was doing the fire performance did a awesome job, I thought that was very impressive and entertaining. After all the performance we were able to actually meet and take pictures with the them. My wife and I had a great time during the Rock-a-hula event, I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends as something to experience.

We enjoyed our meal on the terrace, and the roast beef and whole roasted pig were delicious. During the meal, we were entertained with hula dancing and ukulele music. After the meal, we entered the venue, and even though they were impersonators, the quality was so high that it felt like we were watching the real thing. The performers were very engaging, coming down to the floor to interact with the guests, and we got to enjoy songs like Elvis, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, and "Over the Rainbow," while also learning about the history of Hawaii. They provided entertainment from the meal to the show without missing a beat. This is a must-do. I will definitely book this again for my next trip to Hawaii!

食事はテラスで頂き、ローストビーフや豚の丸焼きなど、おいしかったです。食事中はフラダンスやウクレレで食事中も楽しませて頂きました。食事後に会場内に入り、そっくりさんと言えども、その質の高さは、本物をみているような錯覚すら覚えました。サービス精神旺盛でフロアに降りてきて、客と触れ合い、エルビス、マイケルジャクソン、Katy Perry 、Over the rainbowなどを聞きながらのハワイの歴史にも触れさせて頂きました。食事時からショーまで余すことなく楽しませてくれます。これは、一押しです。次のハワイの時も申し込みます！

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our show and dinner. Meagan was our favorite waitress she was there at dinner and she participated in the show. She was friendly and pretty. They included artist that included Katy Perry, Micheal Jackson, and Elvis. The artist did good impersonations. The dinner included a choice of pork, chicken, vegetables, starches and a wide variety and foods. The dessert choices included brownies and ice cream. I felt full for days on end. They gave us drink choices. My favorite was Micheal Jackson he was able to sing really well and he looked like he could actually be the Old Micheal.

The rock a hula was an amazing show. Everyone in the cast was nice and very friendly. Their performance was outstanding. They were good singers and impersonators of the artists. The food was okay, but the service and entertainment was outstanding. This show is good entertainment for all ages. The time and set up was great. I would strongly recommend this show to anyone visiting the waikiki area.

our 2nd time..would definitely go again
but preferred the Elvis we seen 3yrs ago

show was awesome
meal was not the best
we included transportation from Waikiki..ambassador did no entertainment on the bus

I was ready to give up on the fire show due to the surprisingly heavy rain, but the MC said, "We can't really do this, but we still want to," and started the show, which made me happy.

Since our seats were indoors and arranged in a way that wasn't around the central stage but rather in a front-to-back order, choosing the diamond seats was the right decision. In my case, I had heard about the bad weather and how easy it is to get lost, so I arrived an hour early and got a good seat. However, even with diamond seats, it's first-come, first-served, so if you want a better seat, it's advisable to arrive early.

The show itself is conducted entirely in English, so it might be better for those who understand a bit of English or can enjoy the atmosphere. My companion wasn't very good at English, but they were really moved by the show!

ビックリするぐらいの雷雨でファイアショーは諦めていたのですがMCの方が「本当はできないけどやっぱりみたいよね」とショーを始めて下さったので私的にはハッピーでした。
席も屋内だったので、中心の舞台を囲むタイプではなく、前から順だったのでダイヤモンドにして正解でした。ただ私の場合、悪天候の事や迷いやすいという話を聞いていたので1時間前から行っていたのでいい席でしたが、いくらダイヤモンドでも早い者順なので、少しでも良い席が良いのなら早めに行くと良いかと…
ショー自体は、終始英語でのMCや案内になるので英語が多少わかるか、雰囲気を楽しめる方の方が良いかも知れないです。
実際に私の連れも英語は苦手でしたが、ショーは凄く感動してくれていたので！

On our last night in Hawaii, my mother and I participated for the first time.
We started with a buffet on the terrace, where the dancers welcomed us!
They made it very enjoyable and lively. The welcome Mai Tai and the food were delicious and satisfying. It was a windy day and a bit cold, though!

The show was full of Hawaiian vibes, featuring performances like Michael's and fire shows, so it was never boring! I didn't know many of the songs, but my mother had a great time.
The dancing was of a very high level and captivating. I'm glad we had such a wonderful night.

ハワイ最後の夜に、母と2人で初参加。
はじめにテラスで、ダンサーの方々にもてなして頂きながらビュッフェ！
とても楽しく盛り上げてくださいました。
ウェルカムマイタイ、ごはんともに美味しく満足でした。風が強い日で寒かったですが笑

ショーはハワイを感じながらも、マイケルや炎のパフォーマンスなど盛り沢山で退屈しません！私はあまり曲は分かりませんでしたが、母はとても楽しんでいました。
ダンスもとてもレベルが高く魅了されました。
素敵な夜を過ごせてよかったです。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated despite being inexperienced. Although I left early, I was anxious because I couldn't find the reception area. The food was more ordinary than I expected, but there was a lot of it. I wasn't feeling well, and since it was outdoors, it got cold halfway through, so a jacket is a must. The show was absolutely satisfying. Both the women and men were wonderful. When it was time to leave, the performers took photos with those who wanted them. It became a great memory.

はじめてのハワイ、不慣れな中の参加です。
早めに出たものの、受付の場所が見つからずやきもきしました。
食事は思ったよりも普通でしたが、ボリュームがあります。
体調が悪かったのもありますが、屋外ということもあり途中で寒くなってきたので羽織必須ですね。
ショーは言うことなしの大満足でした。
女性も男性も素敵の一言。帰る段になって、希望者には出演者が一緒に写真を撮ってくれました。良い思い出になりました。

My wife and I went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Star of Honolulu to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. This was one of the things we had scheduled in advance of our trip to Oahu, because we had heard nothing but good things about the cruise. They did not disappoint. From our meet and great with the captain to the final departure from the ship, everything was first class. The entire crew was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Our server, Germese, could not have been any nicer and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We also enjoyed the live entertainment during and after dinner. It did start to rain as we were heading back to the dock, but the crew took very good care of us and walked us out to our transportation with umbrellas. Would definitely cruise again if we get back to Waikiki. We would certainly recommend the Star of Honolulu to anyone who wants to be treated perfectly. Aloha!

Our tour guide was very informative. She talked about the Hawaiin lifestyle and how things have changed for them over the years. She was also very good about teaching us some of the Hawaiin language. A very important part of the culture. One thing would have made this better would have been a better lunch menu. The buffet at Kualoa ranch was limited.

We liked the different stops we did. Lunch was awesome we stopped at a new place due to the festival at the town we were suppose to have lunch at. Plane flights were great. Only thing that was negative was the guide tended to repeat herself and kind of bad mouth the US for taking over the Hawaiin Islands. We took this tour on 2/24 with Kats.

The place was pretty nice and there really wasn't anything wrong. We just were too tired to see the show at the end of the night. I wish they would of had an earlier show.

First, we had dinner. The server was kind and tried to liven up the atmosphere. They were more attentive than those at high-end restaurants, so I was satisfied with both the taste and the service!
I think the show is also worth seeing. Since I am a fan of Michael Jackson, it was amusing when the impersonator came out. The backup dancers were well-prepared, and the effects were impressive, making it a more authentic show than I expected!

まずは、夕食をいただきました。サーバーの方が親切で場を盛り上げようとしてくれました。高級レストランよりも気配りができるサーバーの方でしたので、味もサービスも満足でした！
ショーも見る価値があると思います。もともと私自身がマイケルジャクソンのファンでもあるので、偽マイケルジャクソンがでてきた時は面白かったです。バックダンサーもしっかりついており、効果もしっかりしており、思っていたよりも本格的なショーで楽しめました！！

The tour guide was a blast but it rained all day so it could have been better.

We would recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center to everyone, all ages. Everyone there was very eager to share their unique cultures, they were so friendly, knowledge and fun.

何回も訪れているハワイですが、バックステージツアーまで付いていると言うのでとても楽しみにしての参加でした。
以前ショーだけ拝見させて頂いていたので雰囲気は解っていたのですが、楽屋裏が解っていると、又楽しさ倍増でした。
お出迎えの時からVIP待遇で、フラダンス&ウエルカムドリンク&おつまみ&何より素敵な控え室です。
当日は私達夫婦の他に5人のアメリカの方々でした。
カッコイイマネージャーが色々な説明をしながらバックステージを直接案内してくださり、その間スタッフの方々もフレンドリーにご挨拶、ショーで使われる衣装なども直接身に付けて写真を撮ってくださるなど、普段経験出来ない事にテンションが上がりました。
お食事もロブスターやステーキなどコースで美味しく頂き、充分な量で満足！
勿論、最前列での鑑賞でしたので出演者の表情まで楽しむ事ができました。
夢の様な時間が流れ、記念写真のプレゼントまで。
ちなみに、お隣のテーブルの方は25ドルの料金で記念写真をお買いになっていましたよ。
ハワイの特別な夜を過ごしてみようと思われる方には、少し奮発しても是非お勧めのコースです。
帰国してからの思い出の時間になると思います。

We participated in a dinner and show course for six people in a buffet style. During dinner, beautiful ladies and sexy handsome dancers provided great service and created a very enjoyable dining experience. The whole roasted pig had crispy skin and the meat was very delicious. We were completely full.

After that, we had premier seats, second row from the front and in the center. I was envious of those sitting on the side of the stage and in front who received scarves and leis from Elvis. I was surprised when he descended upside down from the ceiling. The balloons and soap bubbles created a fun atmosphere that united the stage and the audience.

The show was wonderful, with the dancers who took care of us during dinner performing various types of Hawaiian and rock dances with great precision. The singing of Elvis and Michael was also incredibly good, making it a dreamlike experience that passed in the blink of an eye. The fire show was amazing and spectacular. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to go again.

ヴュッフェスタイルのディナーの後ショーを見るコースで6人で参加しました。ディナーで綺麗なお姉さんやセクシーなイケメンのダンサーの方々が場を盛り上げながらサービスしてくれて、とても楽しい食事ができました。豚の丸焼きは皮がパリパリで肉もとても美味しかったです。お腹いっぱいになりました。
その後のショーはプレミア席で前から2番目の中央の席でした。ステージサイドの席や前の席の人はエルビスからマフラーやレイが貰えて羨ましかったです。天上から逆さずりに降りて来たのにはビックリしました。バルーンやシャボン玉はステージと客席が一体となって楽しい演出でした。
ショーは素晴らしく、ディナーの時お世話してくれたダンサーの方たちがキレのあるいろんなタイプのハワイアンだったりロック調だったり、それは素晴らしいダンスとエルビスやマイケルたちの歌も凄く上手で、あっというまの夢のような時間でした。ファイヤーショーも凄くて素晴らしかったてす。ハワイへ又来る事が出来たら、是非又行きたいと思います。

Very easy checking in and checking out no problem at all

It was so much fun with many famous people like Michael and Katy! The food was also great and suited the Japanese palate!

マイケルやケイティなどたくさんの有名人が出てノリノリで楽しかったです！！
ご飯も日本人の口に合うもので、最高でした！！

It was one of the neatest places I have ever been and i can't wait to start planning a trip back

This was my second trip to Hawaii, and this time I was excited to add my son for our first family trip to Hawaii. I quickly signed up for the Rock-a-Hula show. To be honest, I was anxious about what kind of show it would be and whether the meal would be satisfactory, but those worries were completely unnecessary. It was truly the best show and dinner, creating wonderful memories.

The venue is located in the heart of Honolulu, inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, so we arrived without getting lost. When I showed the voucher at the reception, they gave me a backstage tour pass to hang around my neck. At the entrance, the performers welcomed us with hula. The backstage tour was about to start. The manager himself passionately explained the costume room and dressing rooms (in English, but I could understand it somehow!).

They took us to Elvis's dressing room, where we enjoyed a welcome drink and snacks. While we were there, Elvis made an appearance! He took individual photos with us. The commemorative photos taken here are given to you at the end along with a mount, so make sure to take a picture in your favorite outfit with a smile!

After finishing the backstage tour, it was time for dinner. We were guided to seats right in front of the stage, and I was immediately impressed by the location. There were already dinner-only guests seated, but our seats were in a prime location closer to the stage. I was worried about the quantity and taste of the dinner, but both the volume and flavor were excellent. Even my wife, who isn't fond of American steak, finished her meal without any issues. Around that time, guests who were there for the show only were being seated in the stand. Being a few steps closer to the stage than them gave us a slight sense of superiority. Soon, the show began. First was Elvis, then MJ, and finally Katy Perry, with a seamless flow of dance and song that showed they had practiced well. I also got to know the people sitting next to us, and we had a great conversation. By chance, an elderly couple was sitting next to us, and when I talked to them, I learned that they visit Hawaii almost every year and come to see the Rock-a-Hula show each time. They mentioned that the performers and the lineup change every time, so they never get bored.

Before I knew it, the show was over, but as we headed to the exit, the performers came to see us off and happily took photos with us. The manager also casually chatted with us, and I could really feel that all the staff were dedicated to ensuring that the guests were satisfied. I don't know when I will be able to come again, but I definitely plan to return the next time I visit Hawaii.

人生２度目のハワイ、今回は息子を加えての初の家族でのハワイ旅行に気合を入れ、早々とロック・ア・フラショーに申し込みをしました。正直、どんなショーなのか？ 食事は満足できるのか？ 不安を抱えて当日を迎えましたが、全くの無駄な心配でした。本当に最高のショー＆ディナー、素晴らしい思い出になりました。
会場はホノルルの中心、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中なので迷うことなく到着できました。受付でバウチャーを見せるとバックステージツアーのパスを首からぶら下げてくれます。入り口ではパフォーマー達がフラで出迎えてくれます。いよいよバックステージツアーのスタートです。バックステージツアーは支配人自ら衣裳部屋や楽屋など、熱弁で説明してくれます。（英語ですが、何となく伝わってきます！）
エルビスの楽屋に連れて行ってくれ、そこでウェルカムドリンク＆お摘みをいただきます。と言っている間に、エルビスが登場！ 個々に記念撮影をしてくれます。ここで撮影した記念写真は最後に台紙とともにプレゼントしてくれますので、お気に入りのファッションと笑顔で撮影してもらいましょう！
バックステージツアーを終えると、ディナーの開始です。ディナーはステージ目の前の席を案内され、まずはその場所に感動します。
バックステージツアーには参加されないディナーオンリーのお客様がすでに着席されていましが、彼らよりステージに近い特等席です。ディナーの量や味も不安でしたが、ボリュームも味も文句なし、アメリカンなステーキが苦手な奥さんも難なく完食です。そのころ、スタンド席にショーオンリーのお客様が案内され着席されていきます。彼らより数段ステージに近い私達は若干の優越感を感じます。程なくショーのスタートです。まずはエルビス、そしてMJ、最後にケイティペリーという構成、全く間を開けずにダンス＆歌、よく練習されている感じが伝わります。隣席の方々とも仲良くなり話も弾みます。今回はたまたま隣席にご年配のご夫婦が居られましたが、話を聞くと毎年のようにハワイに訪れており、その都度ロック・ア・フラショーを見に来られるそうです。毎回出演者や構成が変わるので、飽きることは無いそうです。
あっという間にショーも終わってしまいましたが、出口に向かうと出演者がお見送りしてくれ、写真も快く一緒に撮影してくれます。支配人も気さくに声をかけてくれ、兎に角スタッフ全員が来場者に満足してもらおうという気持ちを物凄く感じました。また次にいつ来れるか、わかりませんが次にハワイに来た時にも必ず来ようと思いました。
