All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

On the day of the show, it started with Presley, Steven Tyler, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and then Presley again. To be honest, aside from Steven Tyler, the performances were a bit underwhelming, and I felt that the impersonators in Japan were better at portraying Michael and Madonna. It seems that the performers change depending on the day, but overall, the show had an enjoyable structure, and I was able to see Polynesian dance at both the opening and closing, so it felt like the content of the show was worth the price.

当日は、プレスリー、スティーブンタイラー、マイケルジャクソン、マドンナ、プレスリーの順番で、ショーが始まりました。
正直、スティーブンタイラー以外は微妙で、マイケルやマドンナに関しては日本でモノマネしている人の方が上手かった様な気もします。
日によって出演者が異なる様ですが、全体的にショーとしては楽しめる構成となっており、ポリネシアンダンスもオープニングとエンディングで見れましたので、金額に見合ったショーの内容であったように思えます。

The show was very entertaining, we had so much fun! The staff were very friendly and caring. Since I have small children; they were always checking on us, made sure that my kids are entertained as well! The dancers were amazing too!
I brought my entire family with me, my husband, and our children (ages 8, 6, and 12mos), at first, I had to think twice if I really should bring them to this kind of show but since they love music and they’re on their spring break too, I took them there anyway…and I never regret it!
WOW! The show was outstanding! Michael Jackson had the real moves and never failed our expectation, it was so real! Steven Tyler looks exactly like Steven, performing in front of our eyes and his entrance to the stage was the best when he flew in a harness to the stage. We absolutely loved their performances that even my kids were dancing too! This show is definitely a great place to take your stress away!

Dinner buffet at the Tree Top Lanai are very delicious as well.

Excellent value, responsive and didicated to service. Thanks

I participated with my wife and sister. It was really great. We had planned to enjoy a sunset and fireworks while having dinner and a beer on a yacht cruise, but something unexpectedly wonderful happened. --- A whale jumped right next to the yacht! Everyone was surprised, shouting "Wow!" and it was a big commotion on the yacht! Afterward, we disembarked while enjoying the starry sky with a beer in hand. I want to go again!

妻と姉の3人で参加しました。メッチャ良かったです。サンセットと花火をディナーを食べながらビールを一杯飲んでヨットでクルーズの予定が、うれしい予定外のことがありました。---ヨットからすぐ傍でクジラがジャンプ！モーみんなびっくり、キャー・ワー、ヨット中大騒ぎ！ビール片手に星空鑑賞しながら下船。また行きたいなあё

I boarded the ship on February 28th, and the weather was wonderful. The sunset over Diamond Head and the Hawaiian breeze felt great... I even saw whales, it was just amazing! Next time, I want to go with my family.

2月28日に乗船しました、天候にも恵まれ夕日にダイアモンドヘッドそしてハワイの風が気持ちいい…鯨まで見れてもう最高！次回は家族で行きたいです。

We used this service as a family. It included my elderly parents, my uncle and aunt, and my siblings. The ages ranged from older to younger, but everyone was very satisfied. Feeling the wind while cruising on a yacht, which is different from a luxury cruise ship, was fun for us in a more attraction-like sense. However, there was no one who spoke Japanese, so we couldn't understand the pre-participation explanation at all, and we also couldn't follow the announcements during the cruise, which was a bit scary, but that was part of the charm. We enjoyed ourselves with the cheerful crew and other guests. Drinks were free, but there didn't seem to be any non-alcoholic options. For those who can't drink alcohol, you'll quickly realize after taking a sip that it's better to avoid it. Also, the meeting point at the Waikiki Ligar Catamaran was surprisingly hard to find. I recommend checking the map in advance.

家族で利用しました。
年配の両親、親戚のおじ夫婦、私たち兄弟です。
年齢は年配～若手までですが、全員大満足でした。
風を感じながら、豪華客船とは違うヨット？でのクルーズのほうが
私たちにとってはアトラクション的な意味合いでも、楽しかったです。
でも、日本語をしゃべれる人がいなかったので、参加前の説明もまったくわからず、
クルーズ中の案内もわからず・・って意味では少し怖かったけど、
それもご愛嬌。
陽気なクルーと、外人さんたちとみんなで楽しめました。
飲み物はフリーですが、ノンアルコールは、ない感じでした。
お酒が飲めない方は、一口飲めばすぐにわかると思いますが
飲まないほうが無難です。
あと集合場所のワイキキリガーカタマランが意外にわかりづらかったです。
事前に地図で調べていくことをお勧めします。

My wife and I enjoyed the activity.

It's simply fun. I was a bit anxious at first because there weren't many Japanese people, but once I toasted with a Mai Tai and had some drinks, it didn't matter. Surrounded by cheerful Westerners, I enjoyed the atmosphere, was moved by the sunset, and immersed myself in the travel experience.

I recommend using this on the last day of your trip.

単純に楽しいです。
あまり日本人がいないため最初はちょっと不安でしたが、マイタイで乾杯してお酒が入れば関係ありません。
陽気な西洋人に囲まれて一緒に盛り上がり、夕陽を見て感動し、旅情に浸れます。

利用は旅行の最終日がおススメです。

We were staying at the Sheraton for a friend's wedding and decided that this was close and a perfect way to spend an evening, and boy were we were right! The delicious and bottomless maitais made for a great night and the best way to enjoy Hawaii's signiature sunshine.

The boat boarded right from the beach almost directly in front of our hotel, and from there we cruised along Waikiki for unbelievable views. The crew was excellent and this is a must do for anyone wanting to go sailing in Hawaii. Enjoy!

Since I was staying at the Hilton, I watched it three times. Even as a repeat visitor, it was enjoyable, so I definitely recommend first-timers to see it at least once. The venue isn't very large, so you can watch the show up close! It's quite impressive! Enjoy it while having dinner.

ヒルトンに宿泊していることもあり、3回観ました。
リピーターでも楽しいので、ぜひ初めての方は1度観て下さい。
そんなに大きくない会場なので、近くでショーを観れますよ！
迫力ありますよ！
ディナーをしながら、楽しんで下さい。

Last time, I participated in the daytime Takamalan. I was very impressed then, so this time I joined the sunset event. The views of Waikiki, the sunset, and Diamond Head from the yacht are all breathtaking. I believe it's definitely worth participating at least once.

前回は昼のタカマランに参加しました。
そのときも大変感動したので今回はサンセットに参加。
ヨットから見るワイキキ・夕日・ダイヤモンドヘッド・どれをとっても感激します。
一度は参加する価値大いにあると思います。

The catamaran ride, which was hard to get on, was exhilarating as we rode over the rough waves, splashing water everywhere due to the strong winds. The drinks were free-flowing. I was satisfied to see two turtles floating in the sea and even spotted a whale's tail.

I was the only Japanese participant, but I wonder if there were any Japanese-speaking staff. It was a bit difficult to join in on the lively atmosphere around me; without good English skills and social abilities, it can be challenging to get into the Spectra Net.

The scenery of Waikiki and the ocean was very beautiful, and I would love to participate again.

なかなか乗れないカタマラン、風が強かったので荒波に乗りあげ水しぶきをあげて走るのは爽快でした。
飲み物はフリードリンクです。
海に浮いているカメを2匹にクジラの尾も見られて満足でした。

日本人の参加は私だけでしたが日本語スタッフはいたのでしょうか？
ちょっと周りの上げ気味のノリに参加しにくいというか、
英語力と社交力がないとスペクトラ・ネットには入りづらいですね。

ワイキキと海の風景もとても美しく、また参加したいです。

The information about the locations within the hotel is unclear, so it's best to arrive early. The show is a mix of Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Micronesian performances, but it feels like a basic dinner show you would find in Hawaii. There are few staff members for the show, and after visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center in the north, it feels lacking. The meal is not as luxurious as one might imagine. The price is appropriate for the food and the show.

I must say again, the guidance boards for the locations are inadequate, and I couldn't find the venue!

とにかくホテル内の場所のインフォメーションが
判りにくいので早めに行くべし。
ショーはハワイアン、ポリネシア、ミクロネシアの
ミックスショーだがハワイでのディナーショーの基本という
感じ。
ショースタッフの数が少なく北部のポリネシアンセンターを
見に行った後だと物足りない。
食事は想像ほどは豪華ではない。
食事とショーで値段相応です。

もう一度言いますけど、場所の案内ボードがテキトウで
会場が判りません！

The sunset and fireworks were both amazing! However, on that day, the wind was strong and the waves were high, causing quite a bit of rocking on the boat. My companion got seasick, so I had to take care of them, which meant I could only enjoy about half of the experience. Still, I was satisfied. Despite causing some trouble for the staff, they responded with smiles throughout, and I am very grateful for that.

サンセット、花火ともに最高でした！
ただ、この日は風が強く波も高く船の揺れがけっこうあり、連れ添いが船酔いをしてしまい介抱していたため半分位しか楽しめませんでした。それでも満足でした。
スタッフのみなさんに迷惑を掛けたにもかかわらず、終始笑顔で対応していただき感謝・感謝です。

I arrived about 30 minutes late, but I was happy that the staff welcomed me warmly.

The meal was a buffet, and there were a lot of carbohydrate-based dishes. Since the show started while I was eating, I couldn't really eat too much. The drinks included two tickets, and I enjoyed some beer and wine. They were cold and delicious. There were also cakes and coffee. I think it would have been nice to have some "Hawaiian-style" gravy sauce hamburgers as well.

The show was enjoyable for adults. I couldn't help but notice the dancers' inner muscles... However, for elementary school students, the entire show was in English, and they seemed to not understand much. Well, I guess that's due to their lack of study...

Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, there was little travel involved, and there was a fun photo booth with the dancers on the way back, making for an enjoyable dinner.

In February, the outdoor nights can be a bit chilly, so a jacket is a must.

３０分程遅れて行きましたが、スタッフの方々も気持ちよく対応していただいて嬉しかった。

食事　いわゆるビュッフェです。炭水化物系が多く、食べてる間にショーが始まるのであんまりガツガツ食べる事が出来ませんでした。飲み物もチケット２枚がついていてビールやワインをいただきました。冷えてておいしかったですよ。ケーキやコーヒーもありました。もうちょっと「ザ・ハワイ的」なグレービーソース系ハンバーグとかがあっても良かったかな。

ショー　大人が見るには楽しいショーでした。ダンサーのインナーマッスルが気になって、気になって・・・。ただ小学生的には全編英語で、何やらわからんかったようです。まぁ勉強不足がいかんのでしょうけどもね・・・。

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、移動も少なく、帰りにダンサーとの記念設営ブースもあり楽しいディナーになりました。

２月の夜間野外は少し肌寒いので、上着は必須です。

On the last day, I went with a friend.
There were hardly any Japanese participants, so I really felt like I was abroad.
The captain spoke in English, but even though I didn't understand, I enjoyed the atmosphere. The music playing and everyone getting into the groove was fun, and the sunset was truly moving. I was lucky enough to see a whale and a rainbow.

However, even if the weather is nice, I felt cold, so it's definitely best not to stay in a wet swimsuit. A cover-up is absolutely necessary.
The boat sways due to the waves, but the ride isn't too rough. Drinks were distributed freely, but I hardly drank any because it was cold.

The sunset on the last day was really the best!

最終日に友人と乗りました。
参加メンバーに日本人はほとんどいなくて、海外に来たなぁと感じられます。
なにやら英語でキャプテンが話したりしてますが、分からなくても雰囲気で充分楽しめました。音楽が流れて周りもノリノリになるのも楽しかったですし、
サンセットは本当に感動します。偶然クジラや虹見れました。

ただいくら天気が良くても寒いと感じたので、濡れたまま水着で…とかは絶対にやめた方がいいです。羽織りが必ず必要です。
波によって揺れますが激しい運転ではありません。ドリンクは勝手に配られるって感じでほとんど飲んでません。寒かったので。

最終日のサンセットは本当に最高でした！

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I thought it would be nice to see a Hawaiian show. I got good seats, but the place I was directed to was far from the stage. In the end, it was fine because I had children with me, but it wasn't until halfway through the show that the staff finally realized their mistake and spoke to us, yet we didn't move. The stage was clearly visible from anywhere, so I think it wouldn't be a problem to sit anywhere. The food was as I expected—neither particularly good nor bad. I was captivated by the powerful dancing of the performers in the show.

初めてのハワイでしたので、ハワイアンショーを見るのもよいかと思い行ってきました。よい席を取ったのですが、案内された場所はステージから遠い席。結果的には、子供がいたので良かったのですが、ショー途中になってようやくスタッフが間違っていることに気づき声をかけられましたが移動しませんでした。ステージ自体はよく見えるので、どこでも問題ないと思います。料理は想像通りで可もなく不可もなくです。ショー自体は、ダンサーの迫力ある踊りに魅了されました。

Our first luau was enjoyable for all seven family members!

Before participating, I thought it might be too expensive considering the cost performance, but overall, I was satisfied with the experience.

This is just my personal opinion, but I’ll provide some detailed information for future participants since there isn’t much written about it.

We drove to the Hilton venue with a rental car, and both self-parking and valet parking are available. I arrived late at 5:15 PM, so I opted for valet parking to save time. I was prepared to pay a relatively high parking fee even with validation (discount or free parking). However, when I picked up my car after the event, valet parking was free! Just remember to tip the valet. I recommend valet parking for those using rental cars. When you drop off your car, they will ask if you are a guest or a visitor, so just say "Visitor, luau show," and you’ll be fine even if your English isn’t great! Don’t forget to get the validation sticker from the staff after the show. You can shop in the Hilton without worrying about parking fees after the show.

Since I arrived late, there was no waiting time to enter! If you’re late, you’ll go directly to the venue, so first-timers who aren’t hotel guests might get lost. You need to take the escalator from the "Rainbow Bazaar," a shopping area next to the self-parking building, to reach the venue, so be careful if you’re running late.

I was seated at a table at the far end, but the tables are arranged in a U-shape around the stage, so even from the standard seats, the view was impressive. Some might feel that their seats are "a bit far," but unless it’s a special occasion, I don’t think premium seats are necessary. The order for getting food is called starting from the premium seats, but since there were few people in the premium seats and there are two food serving areas, I only waited about five minutes. You might wait 20 to 30 minutes before being called, but since it’s a trip, I think chatting and having fun will make the time fly by. Once you get your food, you won’t have to wait in long lines for refills.

初ルアウ、家族７人みんな楽しめました！

参加前はコストパフォーマンスを考えると高くて余り期待できないかなと思いましたが総合的に結果満足です。

あくまで個人的な意見ですが、次の参加者の参考の為にあまり書込みが無い内容を多めに、少しだけ細かく記載します。

会場のヒルトンへはレンタカーで行きましたが、パーキングはセルフパーキングとバレーパーキングが利用できます。
私は１７時１５分の開場に遅刻した為、バレーパーキングで車を預け時間短縮の最後の悪あがき（笑）
バレーパーキングだからヴァリデーション（駐車料金割引もしくは無料）を受けても、ある程度高い駐車料金を払う覚悟をしました。
しかし、終了後に車を引き取るとバレーパーキングでも無料でした！！　でも、チップは忘れずに渡しましょう。
レンタカーで行かれる方はバレーパーキングをお奨めします。
車を預ける際に宿泊ゲストかビジターか聞かれますので「ビジター、ルアウショー」と言えば英語が苦手でも大丈夫！！
ショーの終了後に会場スタッフからヴァリデーションのシールを忘れずに貰ってください。
ショーの終了後もヒルトン内で駐車料金を気にする事無く買い物も出来ちゃいます。

会場入りは遅刻しているので当然待ち時間なし（笑）
遅刻すると直接会場まで行く為、ホテル宿泊者意外で初めての方は必ず迷います（笑）
セルフパーキングビルの横にある「レインボーバザール」というショッピング街の中からエスカレーターで会場まであがって行きますので集合時間に遅刻した方は注意してください。

案内された席は一番端のテーブルでしたが、テーブルはステージをコの字に囲むようになってるのでスタンダード席でも迫力満点で観賞できました。
席によっては「ちょっと遠い」と感じる人もいると思いますが、特別な場合で無い限りプレミアムシートの必要性は無いと思います。
料理を取りに行く順番もプレミアムシートから案内されますが、プレミアムシートの参加人数が少なかった事と、料理の配膳箇所が２箇所ある事で、５分程度の待ち時間で済みました。
案内されるまでに２０～３０分待つこともあると思いますが、せっかくの旅行ですので楽しくおしゃべりをしていれば苦になる時間ではないと思いますよ。
一度料理を取ってしまえばお替りの際に長い列に並ぶ事はありません。

The ship was surprisingly large, and there were participants from various countries on board, which made it very enjoyable. It might be due to the season, but it felt a bit chilly while anchored offshore, so I recommend bringing a warm jacket. It's not often you get the chance to see Waikiki from offshore, and with the waves, the background music, and a Mai Tai, I was completely in a good mood.

思いの他大きい船で、乗船される参加者も色々なお国に人が居て、とても楽しかったです。
時期的な事かもしれませんが、沖合いで停泊している間はやや肌寒い感じがしましたので、しっかりと上着を用意する事をお勧めします。
なかなか沖合いからワイキキを見る機会も無いことですし、波とBGMとマイタイで、すっかり良い気分になりました。

We had a very pleasant sunset sail on the MaiTai. The crew was great, the free flowing maitai's tasty, and the sunset beautiful. We managed to see a few whales as well. A fun time. I'd do it again.

The weather was perfect, and I had a wonderful time. It felt amazing. I had read in the reviews that I might get wet, so I brought a change of clothes, but perhaps because the waves were calm, I didn't get wet at all. It turned out we were the only Japanese people there, which was actually nice. I couldn't communicate in Japanese at all... The meeting place was completely different from what was written. I was glad I had allowed plenty of time, but if I had been cutting it close... The actual yacht was located near the Sheraton. The cocktails were delicious. Everyone I went with was very satisfied. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to go on this again.

天候にも恵まれ、優雅な時間を過ごせました。
最高に気持ちよかったです。
クチコミにも濡れるとあったので、着替えを持って行きましたが、波が穏やかだったからか、全く濡れませんでした。
やはり日本人は私達だけでした。それが逆によかったです。
日本語は全く通じませんでしたが…
集合場所が書いてある場所と全然違います。余裕を持って動いていたのでよかったですが、ギリギリだったら…
実際ヨットがあったのはシェラトン前あたりでした。
カクテルもおいしかったです。
一緒に行ったみんなが大満足でした。
またハワイに行く事があったらまた乗りたいと思います。

We had purchased VIP tickets and from the time we walked in to the time we left we were treated as VIP's. Every staff member paid attention to every detail during the evening. Entertainment was awesome especially Michael Jackson. Steven Tyler and Elvis were amazing... Madonna not as good as the others. Entertaining evening and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

We attended as a couple on January 10. We made a reservation for the cocktail and show, and although our seats were on the second floor, the venue wasn't very large, so we enjoyed it thoroughly. After the show, there was a service for taking photos with the performers, which made us very satisfied.

１月１０日に夫婦で参加。
カクテル＆ショーに予約、席は２階席であったが会場がさほど広くないので充分楽しめた。
ショー終了後出演者との写真撮影等のサービスもあり充分満足できた。

Beautiful way to spend the sunset. A warning to other ladies: no bathroom + strong, unlimited drinks, so plan accordingly.

The variety of food was limited for the price. Since it gets cold at night, I think it would be nice to have warm dishes as well. The show lacked excitement, and some people left midway.

値段のわりに食事の種類が少なかった。夜は寒いので温かい料理もあれば良いと思う、ショーも盛り上がりにかける。途中で帰る人もいた、

I attended on December 31, 2012.

I waited in line for over 30 minutes to get in...
At the very back, on the edge, it got quite cold when the sun went down, even with a jacket, and it rained, so I got pretty wet... The food was also not great...

At this price, I think it would be better to go to a regular restaurant.

There were also tables where we had to wait a long time, which was unfortunate.

The venue was just an outdoor area separated by ropes, and you could see it just by passing by...

It felt a bit overpriced.

I saw a similar show in Guam, and that one was of higher quality.

2012年の12/31に参加しました。

入るまでに30分以上並び…
一番後ろの一番端で、日が暮れると上着があってもかなり寒く、雨が降って結構濡れて…お食事もイマイチな感じです…。


このお値段なら、どこか普通のレストランの方がいいかなぁ。

バイキングも、ずっと待たされているテーブルもあって、
かわいそうでした。

会場はロープで仕切られているだけの屋外で、普通に通りすがれば見れるし…。

ちょっと割高かな。

グアムでも同じようなショーを見ましたが、
そちらの方がハイクオリティでした。

This time in Hawaii, we stayed at the Hilton and requested to see a show at our accommodation. All the seats facing the stage were premium seats, but since the stage was elevated, it was easy for our family, who had regular seats, to see well.

However, the seating was at a table for ten, so it was a bit cramped with our neighbors, so it's better to enter early. Since we checked in after 5 PM, we were able to choose our preferred table and ended up sitting at the closest regular seat to the stage, which was comfortable.

The show featured hula and fire dancing, which we enjoyed. Although I felt it lacked a bit of intensity at times.

What was disappointing was that our table staff tried to clear plates and glasses right away, which interrupted our viewing. They took away glasses that still had drinks in them and even asked if they could take away plates with food still on them... We were just pausing our eating to watch the show. I wished they would have let us focus on the performance.

今回のハワイはヒルトンでの滞在だったので、宿泊先でショーが見たいと申し込みました。ステージに面している席はすべてプレミアシートでしたが、ステージは高くなっていたので、通常席の私たち家族でも見えやすかったです。

ただ、席は10人掛けテーブルで相席（そして隣との距離はかなり狭い）になるので、早く入場した方がいいです。私たちは17時過ぎに受付をしたため、好きなテーブルが選べた上に通常席の中ではステージに一番近い席に座れたので快適でした。

ショーはフラとファイアーダンスで楽しめました。若干迫力に欠ける気もしないではなかったですが。

残念だったのは、私たちのテーブル係だったスタッフが、お皿やグラスをすぐに片付けようとして、鑑賞の邪魔になったことです。まだ残っているグラスを下げられましたし、お皿に食べ物が乗っているのに「もう下げてもいいか」と聞かれたり・・・ショーを見ているから、食べるのを中断していただけなんですけど。。鑑賞に集中させてほしかったです。

The entire experience was beyond our expectations.
The staff were very friendly.
The food superb.
The show extremely entertaining.
The performers were first class and very realistic.
Overall our experience was well beyond what we expected in every way.
Highly recommend it to all age groups.
Can't wait to go back next year.
Thank you to all for a fantastic evening.

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！

The last time I participated, I got completely soaked and it was fun, so this time I prepared a bath towel with the expectation of getting wet again. However, there were no waves, and it was just a regular yacht sailing. I guess it's just the nature of the activity. I think I will try it again next time without being discouraged. It's a short experience and the price is reasonable, so I think it's great for those who don't have much time.

以前参加した時はびしょぬれになって面白かったので、今回も濡れる事を前提にバスタオルを用意して乗船したのですが
波がなく普通のヨットセーリングでした。
自然相手なのでしょうがないかなと思います。
次回もこれに懲りず又乗ってみようとは思います。
短時間で参加できるし値段も安いので時間のない方にはいいと思います。
