All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

My parents and I had a great time. Loved that the performers were energetic. The food was great, especially the beef roast. Would go again and definitely recommend. Loved the ukelele performer, she sung a song for my parent's anniversary. It was a nice personal touch. Elvis and MJ impersonators were spot in and didn't try too hard. The fire performer was the cutest and was a nice surprise. I had the chance to learn a hula dance. Would recommend if you do not have a vip package to save your complimentary mai Tai to drink during dinner, lol I regretted not doing that. You do have the option to purchase more drinks though. I had virgin one and it was so tasty. The workers are polite and helpful. A great overall experience.

We had the best time with the Star of Honolulu. The captain was very welcoming, and the staff was first rate. Our restaurant wait person Tina, was very prompt in meeting our needs. She was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was excellent, and the food was tasty and plentiful. We sat next to a couple of other travelers and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I would recommend this cruise to everyone!

A really fun trip that is great for groups of friends and families. I went with both, including a child and we all had fun! Beautiful views all around and plenty of good photo ops. You won’t be wearing shoes and will be walking through water so make sure you are wearing clothes you don’t mind getting wet! If you get sea sick just stay shoreside until the party is over :).

The captivating dance was impressive and very enjoyable. I think my satisfaction would increase even more if there were more experiences that included dance. After all, the weak yen is quite severe.

魅惑のダンスは見応えがあって、とても良かったです。もうちょっとダンスを含めて体験が多いと満足感が更に増すと思います。何せ、円安がひどいので。

I signed up for this tour to express my gratitude to my mother during our trip to Hawaii, as a son from a mother-son family.

Even though we arrived just in time for the meeting, the staff kindly guided us, and we enjoyed a welcome drink of Mai Tai. The alcohol was strong, so it really hit me due to the jet lag, but from there, we enjoyed hula dancing, a buffet, and a show while feeling great.

The staff members who performed hula during the buffet danced tirelessly, which was impressive. One of the musicians played the ukulele and sang a Teresa Teng song after realizing we were Japanese. My mother even participated in the hula dance lesson and was moved throughout the experience.

I was very excited during the show since I personally love Michael Jackson, and the girl who sang the song from Moana gave me goosebumps with her singing ability. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

At first, I hesitated to sign up, but I'm glad I did. Thank you very much.

The food was delicious, so I will upload pictures of the meals.

母息子家族の息子から母への感謝を込めてのハワイ旅行で
ハワイにきた実感を母に伝えたく今回このツアーに申し込みました。
集合時間ギリギリに到着したにも関わらず、
スタッフの方々が心よく案内してくれ、
そこからウェルカムドリンクでマイタイ飲みました。
アルコールが強いので時差ボケの体にはすごく沁みましたが、そこからフラダンス、ビュッフェ、ショーと、とっても気持ちが良い気分のまま楽しめました。
特にビュッフェ中のフラダンスのスタッフの方々は、
ずっと連続で踊りっぱなしで心配になる程必死に踊ってくれたり、ウクレレを引いてくれる方は、
僕らが日本人と分かったあとテレサテンの歌を披露、
フラダンスのレッスンにも母が参加し、母は、終始感動してました。
ショーの方も私自身マイケルジャクソンが好きなのでとても興奮しましたし、
モアナの歌を歌ってくれた女の子の歌唱力にも鳥肌。
とても忘れられない体験となりました。
最初は申し込もうか悩みましたが、
観れてよかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。

ご飯も美味しかったので画像はご飯をご飯類をアップします。

We really enjoyed our Luau dinner and Show! We were sat with other guests and started the night off with fresh pineapple and Mai Tais, which were delicious! The performers were very friendly and the food was great, including the vegan option for my wife, which was a Beyond patty and salad. The pork was great, but my favorite was the roast beef. The show was very impressive as well; their Elvis and Michael Jackson impressions were great! They also had a traditional fire-knife performer and this was very entertaining as well!

Very customer focused from check-in through the dinner service & when we debarked. Food was very tasty & plentiful! Would do it again especially on a Fri night when the Hilton Hotel had a wonderful fireworks display.

Excellent service food was great the staff super friendly the show was amazing my whole family and I had excellent time I will give 5 ⭐️ to veltra and the star of Honolulu for the amazing night see you soon

Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.

It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!

海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止？かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした

映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す

This was such a fun and entertaining experience. The food choices were great and did not disappoint. The staff were very attentive during the dinner. After the dinner, we went into the theater to watch the performances. We enjoyed every single performance from the traditional Hawaiian dances to the Elvis and Micheal Jackson impersonators. One of our favorite parts is how they incorporated original pictures of Hawaii during the show. We will definitely do it again!

Very entertaining! Great music. Great dancing. Lots of searing and such nice staff.

Great fun for the whole family! Older kids enjoy this too.

I had a amazing time!! Definitely recommend it to the employees of the condo we were staying at for future recommendations it was great learning about the culture

I participated on the last night of my stay in Hawaii.

It was said to be a 15-minute access from the hotel where I was staying, but since it goes through the downtown area, I didn’t feel it was far at all while walking with ease and enjoyment. The location was easy to find, and after checking in, I was smoothly guided to my buffet seat. The welcome drink and the wonderful hospitality from the local staff were very nice. You only need to show the voucher, so it’s fine even if you don’t speak English.

I was satisfied with the buffet offerings. The meat was delicious, and I could choose the doneness of the roast beef. During the meal, there were hula dances and hula lessons, and before I knew it, it was time for the show.

The show seemed to be a collaboration of the history of American artists and hula. I could really feel the energy from the dancers and performers, and it was truly wonderful. In addition to hula, there were also fire knife dances and Tahitian dances, which were very impressive. After the performance, the cast members saw us off, which was a lot of fun. Depending on the season, it might be good to have a light jacket to wear.

I felt the aloha spirit from all the staff. Thank you for a wonderful time.

It was great to see it at a good price during the campaign!

ハワイ滞在の最終夜に参加しました。

アクセスが滞在していたホテルから15分と書いてありましたが、繁華街を通っていくので、安心と楽しみながら歩けるので全く遠くは感じませんでした。
場所も分かりやすく、受付後もスムーズにビュッフェの席に案内されました。ウェルカムドリンクや現地のスタッフさんの素敵な歓迎がとても良かったです。
バウチャーを見せるだけなので英語が出来なくても大丈夫です。

ビュッフェの内容も満足でした。
お肉も美味しく、ローストビーフは焼加減も選べました。
食事中もフラダンスやフラレッスンもあり、あっという間にショーの時間となりました。

ショーはアメリカのアーティストの歴史とフラのコラボレーションといった内容でしょうか。
ダンサーやパフォーマーの方からパワーをとても感じれて、とても素晴らしかったです。
フラの、他にファイヤーナイフダンスやタヒチアンダンスもあり見応え抜群です。
終演後も出演者の方の見送りがあり、とても楽しかったです。
季節と場合によっては羽織れる上着があっても良いかもしれません。

スタッフの皆様のアロハの心を感じました。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

キャンペーン中でお得に観れてとても良かっです

My husband and I did the half-day tour which included; the movie set tour on Kualoa Ranch and the boat ride. I thought we were actually going to stay at secret Beach for a little bit, but we did not. The movie tour was made, especially memorable by our awesome tour guide. She was hilarious and made the whole experience that much better. It’s an absolutely beautiful place and we enjoyed learning about the working ranch, and the Hawaiian culture. The buffet lunch in between both tours was also very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.

It was a windy day, so when we went out to sea, the people at the bow of the boat were tossed up and down enough to get splashed by the waves, but it felt like a thrilling attraction. It was a great boat trip with a wonderful view of Waikiki and Diamond Head.

風が強い日だったので、沖に出ると船先に居る人は波をかぶる位上下に揺れましたが、まるでアトラクション並みのスリル。ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドを一望して良い船旅でした。

It was the perfect and best night to cap off our last day in Hawaii!! I definitely want to make a reservation for this on our next trip to Hawaii and plan to see it on the last day!! I highly recommend it ^_^

ハワイの最終日を飾るのにピッタリで最高な夜になりました！！
またハワイに来た時には予約して最終日に見て帰るプランにしようと思えるぐらい間違いなしです！！ぜひオススメです^_^

We chose this Luau experience because it was in Wakiki area. First you arrive to a mall and go to floor 4 for dinner. Dinner was outdoor under a covered area. The food quality was great and the entertainment during the meal was fantastic. Hula dancers and music. Thye even invited guests up to try hula. For us the dinner was the best part. Now on to the show.
If you are looking for a traditional Hula show at a Luau, go elsewhere. This show is in a theatre, so you are indoor. The show is Hawaiian dance thru the ages. It begins with a traditional hula dance and ends with one, but the majority of the show is Elvis and Micheal Jackson performances. Now, the quality of the performance by the performers was first class. All the singers and dancers were excellent performers, so for a show, it was well worth the money we paid. It just isn't what you think of for a traditional Luau. It is better to take a shuttle and to somewhere like Gerards if you want a traditional Luau experience including making Laies and seeing the pig pulled from the ground.

Although it rained and we had to stay indoors, the fire show and both the hula and Tahitian performances were really wonderful! It might be a good idea to line up early to secure good seats. The food was delicious as well. It was unfortunate that the drink pickup location was hard to find, and in the end, we ran out of time to get them.

雨で室内になりましたが、ファイヤーしょーもあり、フラもタヒチアンもとてもステキでした！
早めに並んでいいお席を確保するのがいいかもです
お料理もおいしくいただきました
ドリンクの受け取り場所がわかりづらく、結局もらう時間がなくなったのが残念でした

Delicious food and drinks!
The hula dance lesson was unique to the location and very memorable!
The Blue Hawaii cocktail was sweeter than I expected.
The show itself was exciting and amazing!!

美味しい料理、ドリンク！
フラダンスのレッスンも現地ならではでとても思い出に残りました！
カクテルのブルーハワイ思ったより甘かったです。
ショー自体も盛り上がって最高です！！

No one speaks Japanese.
I felt a bit left out.

The price is high, but the show was great!!
The food was mediocre.
I get the feeling that it's like this everywhere.

日本語できる人はいません。
おいてけぼりな感じではありたした。

値段はしますが
ショーはよかったです！！
料理は微妙でした。
どこもこんな感じかな、という感じがします。

I experienced Hawaii for the first time. It was better than I expected. (Although we were grouped with other Japanese guests at the buffet, we had a nice interaction with young honeymooners, and the show was lively with American guests.) There’s no need to worry about rain.

初めてのハワイで体験しました。想像よりも期待以上に良かったです。（ビュッフェ席は日本人の席にグルーピングされましたがハネムーンの若い方々と適度に交流、ショーは米国の観客がかなりはしゃいでいた事も相乗交換）
雨の心配は不要です。

First of all, the waiter who attended us was very attentive and had just the right amount of brightness without being pushy. The dinner was delicious, and many people of all ages seemed to be quite full. When the fireworks started, everyone moved to the side to watch, and the boat tilted noticeably. But apparently, that's okay. The live performance was wonderful, and the MC singer was good too! For those on the Five Star, you go up to the fourth floor, but there was a smoking area outside on the same floor, which was appreciated by smokers who feel a bit out of place. Also... the inside of the boat is cold!!! Perhaps because Westerners tend to have a higher body temperature than Japanese people... if you're attending in a sleeveless, thin dress, it might get really chilly, so please be careful.

まず、ついてくれたウエイターの方はよく気がつくし、しつこくないくらいの明るさで丁度良かったです。
ディナーも美味しく老若男女割とお腹いっぱいになっていた方が多かったです。
花火が始まると皆さま一斉に花火側へ移動されるので、分かりやすいくらい船が傾いてました。笑
が、大丈夫だそうです。
生演奏も素敵でしたしMCの歌い手の方もgoodでした！
ファイブスターの方は四階へ上がりますが同フロアの外に喫煙所がありました。
肩身の狭い喫煙者には有り難かったです。
後…船内は寒いです！！！
欧米の方々は、日本人より体温が高めだからか…
ノースリ薄手のワンピで参加となると、めちゃくちゃ冷えるかもなのでお気を付けてください。

This is the second time that we Visit the range every time we do a different tour and they always exceeded our expectation. Our tour guy was awesome and every time we learn more history about the island. I definitely recommend

This was an awesome way to see, hear and taste the Hawaiian culture! The activities were informative, enjoyable and engaging!
Great activity for a family, group of friends or even a classroom!

From start to finish the staff was all engaging and professional. They worked through any language barriers and got everyone set up for the cruise. The size of the boat and number of people on board was just right, intimate but still lively and fun. There was plenty of room onboard to move around and never felt crowded. The views were gorgeous throughout. When the water got a little choppy, the back of the boat was still calm. Just a great time made better by the crew, would definitely go again.

Before COVID, whenever I came to Hawaii, I always made sure to have dinner with live music at the Kanikapila Grill. The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and fun. You get to enjoy a wonderful live performance, and there's nothing more to ask for. Even though they are very famous musicians, they stopped me on my way out, even from a distance, and gave me an aloha sign, which made me very happy. It turned out to be the best night in Hawaii. I will definitely go again!

コロナ前から、ハワイへ来た時は、必ずカニカピラグリルのライブ付のディナーへ来ます
ご飯も美味しいし、スタッフも気さくで楽しい
素敵なライブもみれて、言う事なし、です
とても、有名なミュージシャンの方たちなのに、帰り際に遠くだったのに、呼び止めてくれて、アロハサインとてもうれしかったです
最高のハワイの夜になりました
また、必ず行きますね

As seen on TV, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied!!! I thought the locals in Hawaii would start late, so I aimed to arrive right at the entrance time, but there was already a huge line, and I regretted not arriving a bit earlier.

I think sitting in the front would have made it even more impressive.

The buffet had mostly delicious food, and I was very satisfied! The seating was shared. The gentleman who guided us to our seats seemed to take into account our preferences, so it would have been nice to speak English to get a better seat. I can't speak it, though...

I chose this place after seeing reviews of other luaus that mentioned language issues, but since the basic communication and announcements were in English, I thought it might have been better to look for a spot outdoors by the beach! The show itself was very satisfying!

テレビとかで見る通り、大迫力で大変満足でした！！！
ハワイの人はスタートも遅いだろうと、入場時間ちょうどを目掛けて行きましたが、すでに大行列で
もう少し早く並べばよかったかなと後悔。

前の席だともっと大迫力だったと思います。

ビュッフェもほとんどが美味しいものばかりで
大満足です！
席は相席でした。
席を案内するおじさんが、起点を聞かせてくれるので、英語を話せるといい席に案内してくれるような感じでした。
私は話せませんが。。。

他のルアウのレビューを見て英語の問題でこちらにしましたが、
基本は英語での会話とアナウンス、案内になるので
屋外のビーチのところなどで探してもよかったかなぁと思いました！
ショー自体は大満足でした！

I had planned to experience traditional Hawaiian dance on a dinner cruise, but upon learning that there was also a rock show in a different genre, I signed up for this tour as well.

During the 90-minute dinner, they performed Hawaiian music and showcased dances.

Later, in the rock show, singers dressed as Elvis and Michael Jackson performed, creating a lively atmosphere that left me very satisfied.

As someone in my 20s, I’m not from the generation of Elvis or Michael Jackson, so I didn’t know many of the songs, but I was overwhelmed by their vocal and expressive abilities and had a great time.

ハワイの伝統舞踊はディナークルーズで体験する予定だったので、別ジャンルのロックショーもあるとしり、こちらのツアーも申し込みました。

90分のディナーではハワイアンミュージックを弾き語りしてくれたり、踊りも披露して頂きました。

またその後のロックショーでは、エルビスやマイケルジャクソンに扮した歌手等が歌を披露し、大盛り上がりで大変満足でした。

私は20代なので、エルビスもマイケルジャクソンも世代ではないため、曲はそれほどわかりませんでしたが、歌唱力と表現力に圧倒され良い時間を過ごせました。

There were only the two of us, a couple, among the Japanese people, and at first, we were quietly speaking English. The atmosphere was great from the beginning, and we started with a toast with Mai Tai. Before the sunset, we unexpectedly enjoyed whale watching, which made the experience even more exciting. The captain was very kind, allowing us to take photos together at the helm. During the final sunset, everyone got so carried away that they didn't care about anything else. Although I don't speak much English, a few people nearby reached out to us, and we were able to communicate and take pictures together, making it a very enjoyable time for both of us after a long while.

日本人は私たち夫婦の2人だけで、始めは英語が飛び交っておとなしくしていました。始めから雰囲気がよく、まずはマイタイで乾杯。サンセットの前に思いもよらないクジラウォッチングで、一段と盛り上がりました。写真も船長の操縦席で一緒に取らせてもらったりととても親切です。最後のサンセットのときは、盛り上がりすぎてみんなそんなのお構いなしでした。英語はあまり話せませんが、近くの何組かの人たちに声掛けしてもらい、コミニュケーションも取れ一緒に写メったりと久々に夫婦ともどもとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
