Great time!

Reviewed by: MeMe and Papa

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Best Lua in Honolulu

Reviewed by: Devy

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.

The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

The boat itself is fun. You can see the whale's tail. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand the English commentary. There is no seasickness. You can also order drinks. I think it's a good value for the price.

船自体楽しい。鯨の尻尾がみれます。英語の解説がわからなくても楽しめると思います。船酔いはないです。ドリンクも注文できます。コスパいいと思います

Whether you can meet a whale depends on timing and luck. クジラと会えるかは時と運次第です。

Reviewed by: マサイトウ

There were no issues with the pickup from the hotel, the guidance to the boarding, or the transfer to the hotel after disembarking.

As for the whales, they would briefly appear at the surface and then dive below for about 15 minutes. Many participants were intently watching the surface of the water, and when a whale did appear, cheers erupted, with everyone shifting their gaze in that direction, repeating this process.

My initial expectation was to see the whales up close while being splashed by seawater, but it turned out to be more of a distant viewing experience. The captain made efforts to capture them on camera, but I felt that approaching this with high expectations carries significant risks.

集合ホテルからのピックアップ、乗船迄の誘導、下船後のホテルへの移動については全く問題ありませんでした。
問題のクジラですが、水面に僅かに姿を現したかと思うと、15分程度海面下に潜ってしまいます。
多数の参加者が目を凝らして海面を注視しているので、現れると歓声が上がり、そちらの方向に全員が視線を移す、と言う繰り返し。
事前のイメージでは、海水を浴びながらクジラを間近で見られる、と言うモノでしたが、かなり遠景でのウォッチングでした。
船長さんも努力下さり、何とかカメラには納められましたが、大きな期待を持って臨むにはリスクが高いと思いました。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are all disappointed that you weren't able to see enough whales. The captain did his best to make it happen, but we are glad you were able to see some. Please come again. We hope to have you experience many whales up close next time.

この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測が充分に見られなかった様子でスタッフ一同残念に思っております。出来る限りのことは船長も努力しておりますが少しでも見れたことを嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回は沢山のクジラを身近で観れたらと思います。

Reviewed by: えがちゃん

On the day of the tour, it was raining on the bus, but by the time we boarded the boat and reached the area where the whales were, the rain had stopped and the sun peeked out, which was great. The color of the sea was very beautiful.

We didn't see any large whales, but we did catch glimpses of what seemed to be a baby whale! We saw its tail several times and parts of its body, which was wonderful.

Inside the boat, snacks, light meals, and drinks were available for purchase. Since the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

I believe this is a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from the elderly to small children.

当日、バスの中では雨でしたが、、船に乗り鯨のいる場所につく頃には雨も止んで太陽ものぞいてくれたので良かったです。
海の色がとっても綺麗でしたよ
大きい鯨には、会えませんでしたが、、赤ちゃん鯨でしょうか?!何回も尻尾が見えたり、体の一部が見えたり良かったです。
船内では、スナックや軽食・飲み物が有料販売有りでした。
船内が冷房が強いので、、羽織るもの1枚持っていくといいと思います。
ご年配の方から小さいお子様まで、一緒に楽しむことのできるツアーだと思います

There was no validation service, and I couldn't see any whales. バリデーションサービスはなし、クジラも見れなかった

Reviewed by: リルママ

I went to the location by rental car since it was mentioned that there was a validation service. When I showed the parking ticket to the staff and asked about it, I was told that the service is not available this year. It seems there was an error in the information provided, which is disappointing.
During the cruise, I was able to enjoy taking photos of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.
As the ship was returning to the port, there was an announcement at 9 o'clock that something would be visible, and the ship moved a bit, but then there was another announcement at 10 o'clock, unfortunately, I couldn't see it. It seemed that many others also missed it. Even if some people were able to see it, it appears that rescheduling is not guaranteed for those who couldn't, which is unfortunate.
It is very cold on the ship, so a jacket is a must.

バリデーションのサービスがあると記載されていたので、レンタカーにて現地へ向かいました。スタッフにパーキングチケットを見せて聞いたところ、今年はそのサービスはやっていないとの返答。記載内容に誤りがあるようで残念です。
乗船中は海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に撮ったりと楽しむことができました。
船が港へ戻る際9時に見えると放送があり少し船が動いたのでその後10時の方向と放送がありましたが、残念ながら見る事が出来ませんでした。他にも見れなかった方は沢山いたようでした。自身が見れなくても見ることのできた人がいればリスケジュールの保証外となるようで、残念でした。
船上はとても寒いので、上着必須です。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー<ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内>

The show was good. ショーは良かったです

Reviewed by: モカテン

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.

After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.

Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.

何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか?と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。
