Oahu
As the reviews mentioned, there were hardly any Japanese people. Most of the audience was made up of Australians and tourists from the mainland United States, with a few Koreans as well. The bus and the show were entirely in English, but I think those who have a little English ability can understand it. The host of the show spoke slowly, so I was able to understand most of it. However, there were some typical foreign show jokes that might be a bit embarrassing if you're going with children of a certain age, but the host was skilled and entertaining.
I participated in the Royal Plan, but our seats were towards the back even within that plan. Since I had my timid 4-year-old daughter with me, I think the front row would have been too overwhelming, so it was just right. Children under 4 are free, so I thought she would sit on my lap, but they provided a child’s chair. I was looking forward to the short guided tour mentioned in the plan, but it didn’t happen. There was a turtle tank on the way to the venue, so we could see that, but everyone could see it regardless of the plan. I didn’t quite understand the lomi lomi salmon & poi tasting either; I don’t think it happened.
Each person received three drink tickets, but the bar closed before the show ended, so I couldn’t use them all. There was a waiter, so it seemed like you could ask for drinks. Since the seats at the edge of the Royal Plan are right next to the Standard Plan, I think the Standard Plan isn’t too bad either.
The activities started without me realizing it, and you have to actively participate. There were so many people that I could only experience a couple of things.
I haven’t seen other shows, but this one was very good. However, I felt a bit unsatisfied. There was a lot of talking from the host and interactions with the audience on stage, and I wished I could have seen more hula. But the final fire dance was spectacular. My daughter stayed seated without getting bored, and it wasn’t too far from Waikiki. I was very satisfied with our last night in Hawaii.
口コミ通り、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。大半がオーストラリア人とアメリカ本土からの観光客で、少し韓国人の方もいました。
バスもショーもずっと英語ですが、少し英語のできる人ならわかるかなといった感じです。特にショーの司会の方はゆっくりとした英語で話されていたので、大体理解できました。ただ、外国のショーでありがちな下ネタがよく入るので、お年頃のお子さんと行くのは少し恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、話も上手で面白かったです。
ロイヤルプランで参加しましたが、席はロイヤルプランの中でも後ろでした。怖がりな4歳の娘もいたので、最前列では迫力がありすぎてダメだったと思うので、ちょうどよかったです。4歳までは無料なので、ひざの上だと思ってましたが、子供いすを用意してくださいました。このプランではショートガイドツアーがあると書いてあり、楽しみにしていましたが、ありませんでした。会場に行く途中でカメの水槽があったので、見れることは見れましたが、プランに関係なく皆さん見れます。ロミロミサーモン&ポイ試食というのもよくわかりませんでした。なかったと思います。
飲み物も一人3枚付いていましたが、ショーが終わる前にはバーが閉まっており、全部使いきれませんでした。ウェイターさんがいるので、頼めば持ってきてくれるようでした。
ロイヤルプランの端っこの席だと、スタンダードプランのすぐ横なので、スタンダードプランでもそんなに悪くはないのかなと思います。
アクティビティは、いつの間にか始まっていて、自ら積極的に参加しなくてはいけないです。人も多いので、2つほどしか体験できませんでした。
ショーは、他のを見たことありませんが、とてもよかったです。ただちょっと物足りなかったです。司会の方のトークや観客をステージに上げてのトークも多く、もっとフラを見ていたかったような気もしますが、最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。娘も飽きることなく席に座っていましたし、ワイキキからもそう遠くなく、ハワイ最後の夜に、大変満足でした。
The show was fairly good. However, being outdoors, it is affected by the weather. When I went, it started to drizzle, making it hard to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The show had impressive elements, like the fire display, but the food was lacking. Since it's a buffet, everyone lines up at once, and some items run out if you're at the back of the line. The taste was also mediocre, so I feel like once was enough for me.
ショーはそれなりによかった。
が、屋外なのもあり、天候に左右される。私のときは、小雨が降ってきて、ゆっくり楽しむところじゃなかった。
ショーは炎のところなど、見応えはあるのだが、
料理がいかんせん、いまいち。
ビュッフェなので、みな一斉にならび、モノによっては後ろの方だと品切れに。
味もいまいちなので、一度行ったらもういいかな、という感じ。
It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again
absolutely wonderful!! so nice and the couple we traveled with had never been to hawaii and they were thrilled with the special attention and great smile of your gal she even took a photo for us and offered to walk to baggage area with us if we needed help
Aloha! Thank you for taking the time to reply to our services! We are thrilled to have learned the greeting from Jackie was to your satisfaction! We take pride in our greetings and wish the clients had a wonderful start to their Hawaiian vacation!
Mahalo!

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Although I had a standard seat, it was close enough to the stage and very impressive. There were scenes where guests could participate, which was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of being in a foreign country. To be honest, the food was a bit disappointing, so I think it's better to consider meals separately. Also, since there is no shade, some seats are exposed to the blazing sun even in the evening. Hats and sunglasses are a must!
初めてのハワイ旅行です。スタンダードシートでしたが舞台には十分近く、迫力満点でした。ゲスト参加のシーンもあり、非常に楽しく、異国感を味わえました(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)食事は正直微妙でした、、食事は別で考えたほうがいいと思います。また、日除けがないため、夕方ですが席によっては炎天下に暫しさらされます。帽子やサングラスなど必須です☆
Of everything we did seeing the Arizona & USS Missouri was our favorite. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much history and was just at awe to get to see Pearl Harbor!
the package includes 4:00 pm late admission, followed by the ali'i luau (dinner and show), then about an hour break before the start of "Ha" (the night show). there's a lot to see at the PSC and unfortunately you don't get to enjoy much of the park with a late admission, so if we'd had it over to do again we would've tried to get a package that let us enter earlier. the luau was really enjoyable, and the food in the buffet was surprisingly tasty! there's an hour between the end of the luau buffet and "Ha", so we went to see the Hawaiian history movie (sorry, can't remember the name of it), which involved 15 minutes of watching gorgeous scenery. "Ha" itself reminded many of us in the group of a polynesian version of "Lion King the musical", but the fire dancing finale was spectacular--definitely the highlight.
We chose the Royal package, it was alot of fun sitting up close and getting to eat first! There were lots of activities to do before dinner and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The alcoholic drinks are very "light", drink your free ones but save your money on the others. Buy some of the hand made jewelry instead!!
We have made previous trips to Oahu and had never does this. This is an excellent trip to have All you can eat crab you can eat, which is absolutely true, they kept it coming. The entertainment was interactive with the guests and hilarious to watch and to participate. Plan to do this again.
Marilyn was extremely polite and welcoming at the beginning of the flight. She offered to take a nice picture of us and waited until the baggage arrived. Which was a pretty long time. All in all the perfect surprise for my wife
Mahalo for your wonderful review! Marlyn is a wonderful greeter and were ecstatic to hear that the surprise was perfect!
Wonderful experience. Disappointed that we didn't get to go on memorial due to maintenance but overall loved it. Bus driver should get a raise. My favorite part of whole week there was listening to her talk about the culture and her family. Loved it.
The tour was excellent! Our driver Michael was very knowledgeable and pointed out plenty of landmarks. Adequate time was allotted for each part of the tour. Highly recommended!!
Historically speaking - it was great
Emotionally, however, the feeling of disappointment that the Arizona Memorial was not opened and still under construction was overwhelming. And, the price for the One Day Passport was not reduced for this inconvenience.
It was amazing definitely a must see show the culture was amazing and great to see
The activity was well worth the price as my nephew is a history buff an enjoyed the tour.. There was just one problem, two of the elevators were down on the USS Missouri and my nephew was on crutches and he could not cover the whole ship. My nephew still happy and enjoyed the tour guides knowledge.
This is one activity NEVER come to Wakiki and DO NOT GO TO. Even though we could not board the USS Arizona due to construction We got to go out in Nave vessels close as we could and being a veteran of Vietnam era I find it extremely touching each time I encounter this attraction. In 6 trips I have 6 visits.
This is a very nice cruise for the package you choose and the staff very friendly. My group of 21 had nothing but praise for the Crableg and steak package we chose. Water was calm and the cruise directors made you feel part of the activity by having everyone get involved.
Had a good experience at veltra cruise dinner on 2016 may 26.
We had such a great time! The food was great and show was excellent! We would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Our greater was very good. There was a little confusion she held up two signs one for my grandson named young and one for us name Weiss, however, when we came off the plane she thought that she was still waiting for another person and then realized that all three were us. She even took the time to walk us to the escalator and show us where to go for baggage.
Aloha Weiss 'Ohana! Thank you for your review! We informed your greeter, Dionicia, and she just had a big smile with remembering your lei experience. It was definitely a pleasure, and have a wonderful time in our islands!
Mahalo Nui Loa!

We had an amazing time. Would recommend to anyone. Fun for all ages
Very unforgettable experience. The food is Good, server is nice.
Not wanting to go to another Polynesian show or luau, I decided to go to the Blue Note and it was a fantastic choice! My friend and I actually ended up going TWICE while we were there :D With an ever rotating line up of entertainers, no matter when you go, you are going to have an awesome time ^_^ The first night we went, we saw Don Tiki, this Jazz group with a great Tiki vibe, and Joe Robinson, a great guitarist, our second night. Drinks are really tasty and service was attentive, but not pushy.
I have been to the Blue Note in NYC, and this one in Hawaii definitely gives it a run for their money. If you want to have a chill evening with some great music, this is your spot. Take a break from the hula girls (yes, even though I am ONE :-P) and have an elegant night in Waikiki instead!
What a great night. From start to finish. Would recommend this cruise to everyone
This dinner cruise was excellent. I recommend doing this for everyone. I would definetly do it again.
It was a great time. It got extremely hot. After we asked the waiter to open one of the windows he opened ours which helped a lot other then everyone came to our window to take pictures because it was the only window ope. Food was amazing tho and the service was awesome. I just think they should keep all the windows open. I would recommend this dinner to everyone
I watched this show when it first opened with another friend, and it seemed that some of the cast had changed, but I still enjoyed it. The friends I traveled with this time were visiting Hawaii for the first time and said they were happy and had a great time.
このショーが オープニングしたばかりの時にも 別の友人と見ましたが
出演者?も 多少入れ替わったようでしたが 変わらず楽しめました。
今回 同行した友人達は ハワイ初めてで 喜んで 楽しかったと言っていました。
Thank you once again for attending Rock-a-Hula. We are delighted that everyone enjoyed themselves this time as well.
To provide a variety of stars for your enjoyment, we rotate the cast about once or twice a year.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii.
再び、ロック・ア・フラをご来場いただき、まことにありがとうございました。皆様この度もお楽しみ頂いて、嬉しく思っています。
様々なスターをお楽しみいただける為、年に1・2回ほどキャストを回転いたしております。
また、ハワイにお越しの際、ご来場いただける様スタッフ同一心よりお待ちしております。
Good food, had all you can eat crab leg and steak. Great music and entertainment. Perfect sunset and view of the city. Well worth money. I would do it again
We had an excellent time here. We were picked up via motorcoach in Waikiki at 10:20 am. Our bus driver was hilarious and kept us entertained the hour we were on the bus. Beautiful drive there. We arrived at the center at 1145 and the center opened at 12. I would highly recommend a tour guide! There was SO much to do and see and I feel we didn't get to see even 1/2 of it all due to the center being so big and the small events starting at different times. The Ohana Hawaiian luau dinner was delicious! Pig, pulled pork, teriyaki chicken breasts, fresh fruit, poke, salads, fish, desserts, and so much more! The show during dinner was great as well. Ha, the breath of life is worth every penny! We got back to Waikiki around 11pm. It was a very full but very fun day!
Mahalo Sarah for your feedback, Aloha or!
After looking at other reviews and some deliberation, I decided to go with this tour, and I was extremely satisfied!!
Since the entire tour is in English, it might be tough for those who only speak Japanese. We participated because we were abroad and wanted to experience it. There’s a lot of fun that can be conveyed through the atmosphere, so if you’re okay with not understanding every detail, it’s totally fine!
The bus guide was very good at keeping the energy up, and even when I couldn’t catch everything, I understood the vibe.
Once we arrived, there was a brief explanation of the food and drinks, and then we headed to the venue. The venue was outdoors, and it got a bit chilly as the sun went down, so I was glad I brought a light jacket.
There were optional activities and craft corners in Hawaii, and after a little while, the main event started! There was a whole pig roast performance, but I couldn’t get close enough to see it well. The buffet-style food included Hawaiian dishes and cakes, and it was delicious.
The show featured various performances, including hula and fire dancing, so it was never boring. There were also performances that involved bringing audience members on stage, which made it even more exciting. By the way, we were on our honeymoon, and there was a wonderful surprise during the stage performance that truly made us happy. If you’re on your honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary, I highly recommend it!
Overall, I was very satisfied, so I gave it five stars, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this is only for those who are okay with the entire tour being in English.
他の口コミも見つつ、悩んだ末にこのツアーにしましたが、大満足でした!!
基本的に全編英語の為、日本語じゃないと…という方には辛いかもしれません。私たちは折角海外なので…と参加しました。雰囲気で伝わってくる楽しさもありますし、細部まで分からなくても大丈夫という方なら全然ok!
バスガイドさんの盛り上げ方もとても上手で、聞き取れない時も雰囲気で分かりました。
着いたら簡単なご飯とドリンクの説明があり、会場へ。会場は屋外で、日が暮れると少し肌寒く羽織りを持っていて正解でした。
自由参加のハワイの遊びやクラフトコーナーがあり、少ししてから本編スタート!豚の丸焼きパフォーマンスがありましたが、前の方に行けずあまり見えませんでした。
バイキング形式のご飯ではハワイならではの料理やケーキもあり、美味しかったです。
ショーはフラからファイヤーダンス等色々で、飽きません。観客を舞台に上げてのパフォーマンスもあり、さらに盛り上がりました。
ちなみに私たちはハネムーンでしたが、このステージパフォーマンスで素敵なサプライズがあり、本当に嬉しかったです。ハネムーン、記念日の方は是非!
全体を通して、とても大満足でしたので星5つにしましたが、初めに書いた通り、前提として全編英語でも問題無い方に限ります。
