All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

By booking this tour, even if you're not a VIP, you can see from the front row on the second floor, which was great! ✨ However, if you want to be in the front row, be careful to line up early after finishing your meal. ⚠

このツアーから予約すると、VIPじゃなくても、2階の最前列で見れるのでよく見れました✨ただ、最前列に行きたければ食事を済ませたら、早く並ばないといけないので注意⚠

We went for my daughter's graduation, we had a great time. The food was ok, but the performances and audience involvement made up for it. My kids really enjoyed it! The sunset was amazing!!! This is a must do activity.

This time I participated alone.

This tour is not really meant for solo travelers. It's best suited for friends, families, or couples on their honeymoon.

However, you can only reach this place through a tour like this, so if you have the mindset of wanting to:
- Take Instagram-worthy photos,
- Not care at all about what others think even if you're alone,
- Not feel uncomfortable when asked, "Are you participating alone?"

Then I think this tour is great for you.

I personally wanted to capture the quintessential Hawaiian scenery. I joined just with that mindset, but various thoughts crossed my mind along the way. I recommend that those participating alone focus solely on enjoying the scenery!

To join a tour like this, you need to have the right mindset.

今回一人参加でした。

このツアーは一人で参加するようなツアーではないです。
友人同士、家族、新婚旅行などのカップル。
そういう方には最高のツアーだと思います。

ただ、この場所に来るにはこういうツアーでなければ行けないので
・とにかくインスタ映えするような景色を撮りたい
・自分は一人でも他人の目なんて一ミリたりとも気にしない
・やたら「一人参加？」と聞かれても嫌な思いをしない
そういう精神的な気持ちがある人ならば、このツアーはいいと思います。

自分はとにかくハワイらしい景色を撮りたい。
そういう気持ちだけで参加したのですが、途中でいろんなものが去来してしまいました。
一人で参加する人は、景色を楽しむ！という事だけを専念することをお勧めします。

こういうツアーに参加するには、それなりの気持ちが必要です。

The staff at Captain Cruise were all very fun, and they willingly took photos for us. The beautiful sandbar, turtle watching from the boat, and snorkeling were all so enjoyable! I did get sunburned, though! (laughs) I'm not a strong swimmer and was anxious about snorkeling, but they let me practice at the sandbar, and since I was wearing a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! Thank you very much!

キャプテンクルーズのスタッフの皆さんもとっても楽しい方達で、写真も進んで撮ってくださったり、綺麗なサンドバー も船からのウミガメウォッチングもシュノーケリングも楽しすぎました！ただ焼けましたね！（笑）私は泳ぐのが苦手でシュノーケリングは不安でしたがサンドバー で練習させてくださり、ライフジャケットも付けてたので安心して楽しめました！ありがとうございました！

The salad and pasta had traditional flavors that appealed to Japanese tastes. However, meals in Hawaii are expensive. As a Japanese traveler, I can't say this place offers good value for money, but since it's Hawaii, I'll let it slide.

サラダ、パスタ等オーソドックスな味付けで日本人好みの味付けだった。
しかし、ハワイの食事は高い。日本人旅行者としてはココもコスパが良いとは言えないが、ハワイなので良しとした。

This was my second time at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the tide was lower than last time, and the sandbar didn't appear. However, I was able to enjoy activities like beach volleyball. The cruise staff were lively and created a great atmosphere, making it a fun cruise. The lunch was delicious too!

2回目のサンドバーでした。前回より潮のヒキが少なく、残念ながらサンドバーが現れてはいませんでした。でも、ビーチバレーなど楽しむことが出来ました。クルースタッフがノリが良く雰囲気を作ってくれたので、楽しいクルーズでした。ランチも美味しかった～

I went on three tours: a movie location tour, a jungle exploration tour, and a garden tour. All of them were rich in nature and enjoyable.

・映画ロケ地ツアー、ジャングル探検ツアー、ガーデンツアーの３つを回りました。どれも自然が豊かで楽しかったです。

I arrived at the venue at 6:30 and was first guided to the buffet. I sat at a long table and waited for my turn to go to the food table. I could choose from about ten different dishes, including green salad, macaroni salad, sautéed sweet potatoes, curry-cooked white fish, and chicken. The photo shows all the dishes I took a little bit of on two plates. The roast beef and pork were really delicious.

At 7:30, the show began. It was incredibly fun. There were performances featuring nostalgic songs from Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, along with hula dancing. Michael Jackson's performance was particularly impressive; his moonwalk was very skillful and moving. The hula and Tahitian dance segments were short but very authentic and enjoyable to watch. I was seated near the center, which was a great spot, allowing me to enjoy the show even more.

I’m really glad I got to see this show.

6:30に会場に到着してから、まずはビュッフェへ案内されました。長いテーブルに座って順番がくるまで待ち、料理のあるテーブルへ。グリーンサラダ、マカロニサラダ、さつまいものソテー、白身魚のカレー煮、チキンなど10種類くらいから選びます。写真は二枚の皿に全ての料理を少しずつ持ってきたものです。ローストビーフとポークは本当に美味しかったです。
7：30からはショーへ。これはとてもとても楽しかったです。懐かしのマイケル・ジャクソンやエルヴィス・プレスリーの歌とフラダンスのショー。特にマイケル・ジャクソンは圧巻で、ムーンウォークはとても上手で感動的でした。フラダンスとタヒチアンダンスの部分も、短かったですが、とても本格的で見ごたえがありました。席は優先的にセンター付近に案内してくれました。本当にど真ん中のとても良い席で、ますますショーを楽しむことができました。
今回このショーを見れて本当に良かったです。

As the title suggests, it was the best show performance! First, we enjoyed a buffet featuring Hawaiian food. During the meal, there was a live ukulele performance, which really made me feel like I was in Hawaii. After the meal, we moved to the venue for the much-anticipated show. The impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson had the audience really excited with their authentic singing and dancing. I was especially thrilled to see Michael Jackson! Additionally, we got to see many performances unique to Hawaii, such as hula and fire dancing, and I truly felt it was worth signing up for. I was so moved that I plan to see it again the next time I visit Hawaii. Highly recommended!

題名の通り、最高のショーパフォーマンスでした！まずはハワイアンフードが堪能出来るブッフェを頂きました。
お食事中は生のウクレレ演奏があり、改めてハワイに来たんだなという気分にさせてくれます。
食事後は会場に移動し、待望のショーです。プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが、本格的な歌やダンスで会場はかなり盛り上がりました。特にマイケル・ジャクソンが観たかったので、とてもテンションが上がました！
そのほか、フラやファイヤーダンス等ハワイならではのパフォーマンスもたくさん観ることができ、本当に申し込んで良かったと感じました。次回、またハワイ を訪れた際にはまた観ようと思うほど、感動したショーでした。
オススメです！

We went along to this night not knowing a lot about the performance, other than it was in a very convenient location for us and that it was a very reasonable price. We left being blown away by the sheer professionalism, talent and wow factor of the performers and entire evening.

The pre show dinner was tasty and filling, the service friendly & prompt.

The show was in a lovely theatre with exceptional stage and lighting setup and from the moment the show started our eyes were glued to the stage.

The singers and dancers never missed a beat or note, the lighting was beautiful and the music fun and fabulous. We enjoyed the range of pop performers throughout the eras with Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators as stand out performers! Even at the meet and greet afterwards Michael was perfectly in character - when I asked him how long his show makeup took he replied in a wonderfully accurate voice "makeup? What makeup??"

The fire dancer was also phenomenal with even bar staff remarking that they tried to align their breaks with his performance to go watch from the back of the theatre! Who needs to go to an overpriced louwow when you've got wonderful traditional hula dancers and performers right here.

5 stars - all round a phenomenal night and a "must see" for all visitors!

I visited again because it was so delicious the last time I came at night.
The lunch course was filling and tasty.

They had a Japanese menu prepared, and they showed it to me when I sat down, but as soon as the dishes started coming out, they quickly took it away. When I requested it again, they brought it back.

There were two types of pasta, so I shared them with my friend.

Since I settled the bill here, it was easy to leave as well.

I would like to use this place again.

前回夜訪問してとても美味しかったので訪問。
ランチコースでどれもボリュームもあり美味しく頂きました。

日本語メニューが用意してあって、席に座るときにみせてくれたのに
いざ料理がはじまるとさっさとさげられてしまい。
もう一度リクエストしたらもってきてくれました。

パスタも2種あったので、友人とシェアしました。

お会計もこちらで済んでいるので、帰りも楽ちん。

また利用したいと思います。

I was able to see a sea turtle while on the boat! When we arrived at Angel's Beach, the scenery was very beautiful. The hamburger for lunch was cooked right in front of us and was delicious✨. During snorkeling, we had a great time seeing fish up close.

I accidentally dropped my GoPro while snorkeling and thought we wouldn't be able to retrieve it. However, two days later, the travel company we participated with contacted our hotel and delivered the GoPro to us. I was truly surprised and grateful. It was a wonderful experience and a great memory. Thank you very much!!

The personal attention that you receive during the dinner and pre-show entertainment made you feel so special. The staff remembered your name and details about you — such as where your from, the drinks you like, etc was above and beyond. The food was delicious. My daughter is a vegetarian and they went out of their way to create a vegetarian plate just for her!! The food options on the buffet were all delicious. Both the prime rib and the pork melted in your mouth.

Once we were seated in the theater the videos enriched the show. One of my favorite parts was how the hula girls appearance changed throughout the decades. Elvis was great and Michael Jackson was very impressive. It was more like a musical show than I expected. It was a great surprise. Best night I had in Waikiki ,,,

Frank was great! He totally took care of us. Suggestion to get the package with the food. It was good food and no hassel!

Food was wonderful and show was even better! VELTRA supplied all details before hand making it an easy going night for us! Also great if planning a family night and service was amazing

This was such an incredible experience. Within minutes of leaving the harbour, there were dolphins next to our boat. We got in the water, and the pods of dolphins were swimming around us the whole time we were in there. When we moved to the snorkeling spot, again there were dolphins swimming straight under us and turtles swimming along the surface. They had great water activities at the snorkel spot, such is the SUP and trampoline. The staff were having so much fun, which made all the guests have heaps of fun. If you needed anything, they were happy to help. This was a highlight of our whole trip. Would highly recommend.

There were about 50 people, but it was comfortable. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and it was nice to be able to get on the bus while still wet on the way back. However, the bus rides to and from the location are extremely cold, so please make sure to bring a jacket!

50人ほどの人数でしたが、快適でした。
ランチのハンバーガーは美味しく、帰りも濡れたままバスに乗り込んでオッケーで楽でした。
ただ行き帰りのバスはめちゃくちゃ寒いので、
必ず上着を持って行ってください！

When we arrived, it was pouring rain, but gradually the weather improved. With the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. Due to the season and time of day, we couldn't go to the sand area, but we really enjoyed taking photos in the shallow water. We even saw sea turtles!

到着したときは横殴りの雨が降っていたのですが、徐々に好天になり、
さらにスタッフの方の盛り上げもあって、とても楽しかったです。
時期や時間帯もあるのか砂場とはいきませんでしたが、浅瀬で写真を撮ったりととても楽しかったです。
ウミガメも見られました！

I didn't have high expectations for the buffet, and it was just average. The only thing I thought was delicious was the pineapple. There were also few options.

Since there are many restaurants on Oahu, I initially planned not to include meals, but since it was a monitor deal, I opted for the meal plan. My family also said the buffet was mediocre.

The show was great! The dancers and singers were skilled, and the scenes changed frequently, so I didn't get bored watching. I was also happy to see the fire dance, even though it was just one person. Our seats were on the second floor, but we were in the front row in the center, so we had a great view.

Even though it was on the second floor, it wasn't too high, so it might be easy to see from any seat. If you choose the buffet option, you can sit towards the front on the second floor. Those who only reserved for the show sit behind that. I thought it would be enjoyable even just for the show.

ブュッフェの食事内容は、期待していませんでしたが、普通でした。美味しいと思うものはパイナップルくらいでした。種類も少なかったです。
オアフ島はたくさんレストランがあるので、食事付きにしないつもりでしたが、モニターだったので、食事付きプランにしました。家族もブュッフェは微妙と言ってました。
ショーはよかったです! ダンサーやシンガーの方も上手で、場面が色々かわるので、見ていて飽きなかったです。ファイヤーダンスも1人ですが、見れてうれしかったです。席も2階でしたが最前列中央でみれて、よく見えました。
2階といってもそこまで高さはないので、以外とどの席でも見やすいかもしれません。
ブュッフェ付きにすると、2階の前の方でみれます。
その後ろにショーのみの予約の方が入ります。
ショーだけでも楽しめるかなと思いました。

Perhaps because it was cloudy, the sea wasn't very beautiful. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation for that period, but it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined. The snorkeling felt more like just swimming, and it didn't have the enjoyment of corals and fish. If the weather had been better, my impression might have been different.

曇りだったためか、海はあまりキレイではありませんでした。干潮時を調べて、その時間帯を予約しましたが、イメージしていたサンドバーではありませんでした。シュノーケリングもただ泳ぐ感じで、サンゴや魚を楽しむという感じではありませんでした。
お天気さえ良ければ、この感想は変わっていたのかもしれません。

This is a wonderful excursion i would not recommend it for small children due to the time frame of the tour cause it is a long tour buf well worth it our tour gudie was knowledgeable and friendly and was on time. the food was excellent.

At the first sandbar, it was beautiful, and I had plenty of time, so I was very satisfied!

I could only see the sea turtles small and far away.

最初のサンドバーでは、きれいで時間も余裕がありとっても満足でした！

ウミガメは、遠くの方に小さくしか見られませんでした。

I had a great time seeing dolphins and turtles with the energetic crew early in the morning! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as you might experience seasickness. I ended up getting seasick and couldn't enjoy the slides in the second half, but my wife had a blast with the other participants. :) There are only the boat or the restroom to change back, so it might be a good idea to be prepared to head back wet.

朝早くからテンションあげあげなクルー達と楽しくイルカ、亀をみれました！
船酔い、波酔いはあると思うので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。
自分は波酔いしてしまって後半滑り台とかで遊べなかったですが妻が他の参加者の方と謳歌していました :)
帰りの着替えする場所は船上かトイレしかないので濡れたまま帰る準備はあっても良いかもです。

I made a reservation for my wife's birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary. I requested a window seat, but despite it being available during our meal, we were seated in the middle. There was no congratulatory message from the restaurant either. The server service was efficient, so it seems that our request was not communicated from the agent to the restaurant. The floor manager's hospitality was good.

I hesitated to write this, but perhaps it was just a coincidence that we both had a terrible stomachache that night.

Overall, it was a disappointing dinner in many ways.

妻の誕生日と結婚25周年のアニバーサリーで予約しました。窓際をリクエストしましたが、食事中空いてたにも関わらず真ん中の席。お店側からおめでとうの一言も無くでした。サーバーサービスはテキパキしたので、リクエストがエージェントからお店側に伝わっていなかったと思われます。フロアーマネージャーの持てなしは良かった。
書こうか迷いましたが、たまたま、最終日で体調が悪かったのかも知れませんが、その日の夜、妻と私の二人とも酷くお腹を壊して大変で
した。
いろんな意味でガッカリなディナーでした。

Thank you for allowing me to participate in this tour.
First of all, the buffet was excellent; the roast beef was tender and very delicious. I took too much on my first round and couldn't go back for more.
During the meal, there was a hula dance experience, and even the men were dancing.
As for the show, the lighting was impressive, and while it may be obvious, the singing abilities of each performer were outstanding and moving.
If I participate again, I think it would be nice to have dinner next time as well.

今回、このツアーに参加させて頂きましてありがとうございました。
まず、ビュッフェですがローストビーフが柔らかくてとても美味しかったです。一回目で取りすぎてしまいお替りできないほどでした。
食事の公判ではフラダンス体験がありました。男性の方も踊っていらっしゃいました。
ショーですが、照明もものまねのそっくりなのですが、当たり前かもしれませんが各歌手の歌唱力が素晴らしく感動しました。
また、参加するとしたら次回はディナーもいいかなと思いました。

I was immediately shown to my seat when I presented the voucher. For the main pasta, I could choose from two options and I selected the Bolognese. It was very delicious.

One disappointment was that when the soup arrived, there was no spoon at hand, and I received the spoon only after finishing it, so it would have been better if it had been placed from the start. The service was in Japanese, and the dessert at the end was also very delicious and soothing. I want to go again.

バウチャーを見せたらすぐに席に案内されました。メインのパスタは二種類から選べたのでボロネーゼを選択。とても美味しかったです。
一つ残念だったのは、スープが出てきたときにスプーンが手元になく、飲み終えてからスプーンをくださったので、最初から置いてもらえたらよかったです。日本語での接客でしたし、最後のデザートまでもとても美味しくて癒されました。また行きたいです。

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!

There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.

We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!

The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.

The day was long, but so worth it!

My friend and I had such a totally awesome night at Rock-a-Hula, and want to go see it again! We got the VIP dinner show, and it was fantastic. From beginning to end, we were treated like VIPs, and couldn't have asked for better service, food or entertainment.

The cocktail and appetizer reception before the theater doors opened was a great prelude to our evening, and their original mai tais were really yummy too. So many delicious things to nibble on that I had to be careful and not get too full before dinner! Oh and dinner, salad, steak, lobster and dessert...so.... tasty! Plus our server was so attentive and awesome :)

Our VIP seats go us close to the stage so we had an amazing view of the performance, and man was it awesome! Elvis, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, all on one stage for a seriously rockin' evening. The woman who played Katy Perry was my favorite! Not only did she look and sound exactly like her, but she was the sweetest person too!

The fire knife dance was scary awesome, and the perfect topper to a great night. Perfect option if you just want a fun time in Waikiki!

If you've been to a luau before and want to see another dinner show that isn't exactly a luau, this will probably fit the bill. There's plenty of Hawaiian entertainment and a buffet similar to what you'd find at a luau, but generally speaking this is a more "American" dinner show, like one you'd find in Las Vegas.

The featured stars are Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and HIRIE, a local artist, but there are also a variety of dances, including Polynesian and contemporary choreography. Hirie performed some of her own hits as well as newer songs such as "How Far I'll Go" from the movie Moana!

There's also the hula, Tahitian, and fire knife dancing that you'd normally see at a luau, but there's a good balance of traditional and contemporary. This is an awesome alternative if you've already been to the other luaus in Waikiki.

This was my second time at Chief's Luau and I got say... i love the new location. The new venue is so beautiful. Chief Sielu is the best luau host in Hawaii, he is funny, entertaining and for sure he is what makes this luau so special. The dancers and the musicians are really good and the fire-knife dance is breath taking. The food is delicious and the buffet has a lot of variety. It was a lovely evening and I recommend this luau to everyone, specially families and couples.
