All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

This show will spoil you...other luaus just won't measure up! Do yourself a favor and get the Royal seating close to the stage, especially if you will be attending with kids. You don't want them to miss a thing! We all loved it!

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

Terrible food at the luau. Not very authentic in terms of food or staff. Was like a discount Disneyland but with not very convincing landscaping. A total tourist trap in terms of knock off "artisan" items and souvenirs. However the show HA was amazing. If I ever went back, would only go for the show.

It was a great learning experience to see all the different cultures.
We had a great time and I highly recommend it its worth the trip.

My friend and I decided to check this out as we were looking for something to do for the night. I have been to many Luau's before so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I turned out to be very wrong. the Chief was extremely funny throughout the whole night and he was also very interactive with the crowd. They had some fun activities before the Luau as well so that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night with great people! Hands down the best Luau I have done.

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.

As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

I've seen various shows before, but this one seems to be aimed at first-timers. Since the duration is shorter, I think it's good for entertaining guests.

Being at the Hilton, you can get there by trolley or on foot, but as others have mentioned, the reception area is really hard to find. It was good that I arrived early and could get into the venue quickly.

Since I arrived too early, I think I got quite sunburned from the strong sunlight. Just when I thought the sun was going down, it started to rain heavily, and the hotel staff were handing out towels. It would be nice to have some kind of roof to shield from the rain (like a plant-covered roof).

今まで色々なショーを見てきましたが、こちらは初めての人向きですね。
時間が短めなので、接待にはいいと思います。

ヒルトンなので、トロリーでも歩いてでもいけますが、他の方が書いている通り、受付の場所がすごくわかりずらいです。
早めに行って、早めに会場に入れたので良かったですが。

早く入りすぎたため、日差しが強く相当焼けたと思います。
日が陰ってきたと思ったら、今度は雨が本格的に降ってきて、ホテルの方がタオルを配っていました。
多少なりとも雨が防げる屋根があるといいですね。（植物の屋根とか）

First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.

It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

We used this place for a meal with both families after the ceremony. On that day, the waves happened to be high, and since it was a buffet style, it was difficult for family members to go get food due to seasickness.

Since it’s not a large ship, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness. Other than that, I think it’s a tour where you can participate with peace of mind without worrying about language!

挙式後の両家合わせての食事の際に利用させて頂きました。
当日はたまたま波が高く、ビュッフェスタイルの為家族が船酔いしてしまい食事を取りに行く事が難しかったです。

大型船ではないので、船酔いをする方には向いていないかもしれません。
それ以外は言葉の心配もなく、安心して参加できるツアーかと思います！

Eccellente! Lovely dining atmosphere, superb food presentation and attentive wait staff.
Couple of my friends and I ordered the Bolognese Alla "Siciliana" and the Frutti Di Mare entrees, both dishes were really good. Bolognese is what you would want to order if your not familiar with ordering Italian food. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk from my hotel (stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel) so it was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone back at home on the East coast!

Ciao Baby!

친구의 도움으로 예약을 해서 가게 됐는데
정말 멋진 시간이였다!!
귀여운 돌고래와 멋진 석양.... 그리고 친절한 직원들까지
하나 더! 함께 탄 사람들도 참 유쾌했다
다만 우리가 영어에 약해 어울리지 못했다는
점이 참 아쉽다
다음 기회에 또 다시 이용하리라

It was truly a wonderful restaurant. The food and the staff were fantastic, and I enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. I was worried about my English, but there were no problems at all. I will definitely visit again!

本当に素晴らしいレストランでした。味もスタッフも素晴らしく心から楽しめるレストランでした。英語に不安がありましたが全く問題ありませんでした。また絶対に訪れます！

AMAZING!!! The staff really made my day. They were not drones going on about the same old thing. They were excited, interested, helpful, and very good at talking to my 5 year old rather then ignoring his existence. I was beyond impressed and will be coming back many times.

My friend and I wanted to go to a luau, but didn't have much time, so this one located right in Waikiki was perfect! As we sat down, they came around with the complimentary Mai Tai (yummy!) and there was entertainment and live music as we relaxed.

The buffet was great, there was an assortment of food for everyone's tastes and my plate was huge by the time I got back to my table! The show was very entertaining and the fire knife dance at the end took our breaths away! You could feel the heat of the fire from the table. What a great way to end our day.

There were no openings for the morning tour, so I ended up on the afternoon one. The sandbar was exposed, so I was really lucky! It was fun walking in the beautiful sea and snorkeling. The hamburger was delicious.

早朝のツアーに空きかないとのことで、午後までの部になってしまいました。
サンドバーは浮き出ていてため、本当に運がよかったです！
キレイな海で歩いたり、シュノーケリングしたり楽しかったです。
ハンバーガー、おいしかったです。

Lots of fun! Worth to go there and they are very friendly =)

This was amazing! Very talented individuals! Food was not as good as I thought it would be but it was a great show.

It was my first time participating, and it was more fun than I imagined. Lookalikes of Elvis Presley, Steven Tyler, Michael Jackson, and Madonna appeared one after another. The performances on stage were also fantastic. After the show, I was able to take photos, which made for great memories. I would like to participate again.

初めての参加でしたが、想像以上に楽しかったです。エルビスプレスリー・スティーブンタイラー・マイケルジャクソン・マドンナのそっくりさんが相次いで登場。ステージ上のパフォーマンスも最高でした。ショー終了後も、写真撮影などしていただき、いい思い出になりました。また参加したいと思います。

The staff, including Umi-san, explained everything clearly, and we were able to see sea turtles and manta rays!

They let us enjoy snorkeling right up until the last moment, and even though it was only in the morning, I was very satisfied. ╰(*´︶`*)╯

スタッフの海ｻﾝ他が分かりやすく説明してくれて
海亀やマンタを見る事が出来ました♪

シュノーケルも時間ｷﾞﾘｷﾞﾘまで楽しませてくれて
午前のみとは言え、満足できました╰(*´︶`*)╯

I was really looking forward to this, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing tour given my expectations. Since we traveled by large bus, even with a 7 AM meeting time, we wasted an hour picking up people in Waikiki (which happens with other tours as well). After arriving, we landed on a narrow sandbar packed with people on two cruisers. Snorkeling felt like a chaotic trial start, bumping into each other while trying to peek into the water. I think the actual time spent on the sandbar and snorkeling was about 30 minutes total. It was just so rushed. Since it’s such a special place, I wish the tour had fewer participants.

とても楽しみにしていたのですが、期待してた分、残念なツアーでした。大型バスで行くため、７時に集合でも１時間はワイキキピックアップで時間が潰れ（これは他でもありますが）、到着後、２台のクルーザーで細いサンドバーにぎゅうぎゅうに上陸笑。シュノーケルも一列でトライアルロンのスタートの様にぶつかりながら軽く海の中をのぞく感じ。実際のサンドバーとシュノーケルは足して３０分程度だった気がします。とにかく慌ただしいです。せっかくの特別な場所なので、もっと人数を減らしたツアーだったら良かったなと思いました。

The show was very, very good,, it was great. Not all that impressed with the VIP thing,, recommend just go and see the show and have dinner somewhere else.

Over the past 7 years we have done many "tours" in Hawaii,, this would be at the very top. It was a great adventure, the staff were great , we liked Jenner entertaining us on the bus going there, the Sandbar was great, the snorkel/fish was the best we have seen in Hawaii,, we saw turtles and the lunch was very tasty,,we had a great day,, well worth the money and then some.

I got quite lost trying to find the venue within the Hilton, which is quite large, and I didn't know where the elevator to the venue was. After showing my ticket at the entrance, I received a shell necklace and was guided to my seat after taking a commemorative photo with the dancers (of course, the photo was paid). It seemed that the seating location (either in front of or behind the stage) was determined by the color of the ticket. I could enjoy up to two free drinks. The dinner was served buffet-style, with plenty of options that Japanese people could eat. Many of the local dancers had a great sense of humor and were fun, posing for the camera when I pointed it at them. During the show, a strong dancer suddenly called me over and took me to the center stage, where I was asked to blow a conch shell as a representative of the Japanese audience. I was confused but managed to do it, which was good. After that, I was taken to the stage again by a female dancer, and we danced together, shaking our hips vigorously. It felt like I was being targeted for some reason. I had a truly valuable experience and was very satisfied. I think participating in such unique Hawaiian events is a lot of fun.

ヒルトン内でもかなり広くてショーが行われる会場がどこか分からずかなり迷いました。会場に上がるエレベーターの場所が分からなかったです。入口でチケットを見せてから貝の首飾りをもらい、ダンサーと記念撮影（もちろん写真は有料）を終えた後に席に案内されました。チケットの色で席の場所（ステージの前か後）が決められているようでした。飲み物は２杯まで無料で飲めました。夕食はビュッフェ形式で日本人でも食べれるものばかり用意されていました。現地のダンサーの方はユーモアがありおもしろい人が多く、カメラを向けるとポーズをとってくれたりして楽しかったです。ショーの途中でいきなり屈強なダンサーにこっちに来いと言われ、中央の舞台に連れて行かれ日本人代表として客の前でホラ貝を吹けと言われ困惑しましたがなんとか吹くことができ良かったです。その後また女性のダンサーに舞台に連れて行かれて、一緒に腰を激しく振って踊りました。私はなぜか狙われていたかのようでした。かなり貴重な体験をして大変満足しました。このようなハワイ独特なイベントは参加すると楽しいと思います。

Mixture of comedy, interactive games,music, storytelling,dance and music. Well worth the money. Picture is a bit pricey

I thought it was just a typical American tribute show featuring Elvis Presley, but I was surprised when Steven Tyler and Madonna showed up. Steven Tyler, in particular, was amazing. It was a lot of fun. If you're attending the cocktail show, make sure to arrive early and line up; otherwise, you might have to wait for the drink tickets and beverage exchange.

エルビス・プレスリーがメインで、よくあるアメリカ版物まねショーかと思ったら、スティーブン・タイラーとかマドンナが出てきて、ビックリしました。
特にスティーブン・タイラーは最高でした。
とても楽しかったです。
カクテルシヨーの場合は、早めに言って並ばないとドリンクチケットと飲み物の交換で、待たされるかもしれません。

Great show and very entertaining. Music and dances were fun, entertainers were very skilled. Everyone was pleasant and friendly. Food was only fair but I would go again anytime. The Chief was excellent!

This time, we participated as a three-generation family, including small children. Since it was early April, the rooftop of the hotel was quite cool, and with the wind, it felt cold even with a light jacket. Not just us, but those around us also seemed to be feeling the chill. We took a commemorative photo at the entrance, and it was up to us whether to purchase it later. After being seated, we were served juice or cocktails, and then we had to wait in a long line to get food from the buffet before the show, which was quite tiring. Since the children's and adults' food stations were in different places, I had to line up for the children's food first, and then go to the adults' station, which was a bit of a hassle. Aside from the food, the show featured hula dancing, male dancers, and some active performances with fire, making it quite fulfilling. After the show, there was a farewell from the cast at the exit, where we could take photos. I thought it was a nice opportunity to see such a well-organized show up close.

今回は小さな子供を含む３世代での参加でした。４月のはじめということもあってか、ホテルの屋上はかなり涼しく、風もあり羽織ものを持っていても寒かったです。私たちだけではなく周りも寒そうにしておりました。入り口で記念写真をとり、後で購入するかは、自由でした。席に着くジューズかカクテルを持って来てもらい、すこしして、ショーの前にビュフェの料理で取りに行くのにかなり並び、食事にありつくまで、疲れてしまいました。子供用と大人用の食事を取りにいくのが違う所だったので、子供の所に並んで、、、それから大人の所に並んでと、いった感じで、めんどうでした。食事をのぞけば、ショーはフラダンスや、男性のダンス、そして、男性が火を使ったアクティブなものもあり、なかなか充実しておりました。ショーが終わってから出口のところでは、キャストのかたのお見送りがあり、そこでは、写真撮影ができました。身近でこのようなまとまったショーを見るにはいいのではとおもいました。

The return bus had both Japanese and American passengers, but everyone was shocked by the driver's rough driving! He slammed on the brakes, and a small child sitting next to me fell from their seat to the floor... Of course, the child was crying, but the driver didn't seem to care at all. It was the worst. The foreigners around me were also worried and mentioned that this wouldn't happen in Japan. I experienced culture shock (＞＜).

As for Kualoa, there were many Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any trouble with the language. People of all ages, from young kids to the elderly, were there. However, there are age restrictions, so it's important to check the activity options.

帰りのバスは日本人＋アメリカ人でしたが、運転手の運転の荒さにはみんなびっくり！！
急ブレーキをかけるやら、となりに居た小さい子が座席から床へ。。。もちろん泣いていましたが、何も気にせず運転。最悪でした。周りにいた外人も心配してくれましたが、日本ではありえないねって話してました。カルチャーショックを受けました（＞＜）
クアロアについては、日本人ｽﾀｯﾌもたくさん居て、言葉に苦労しなかったです。若い子からお年寄りまでたくさん来てました。ただ、年齢制限があるので、アクティビティの選択は要チェックです。

Booked an "Ambassador Package" as it seemed to offer a comprehensive itinerary and very glad we did as it took care of all the planning necessary to view the centre in a day.
The prime rib and seafood buffet was as good as expected considering the amount of guests it was catering for. The different cultural villages provided a good mix of information and humour as not to overload visitors brains. Guest involvement in traditional customs such as weaving and drumming was fun.
The "Ha" show was excellent, keeping the audience fully focused and entertained.
I would recommend the travel inclusive package from Waikiki. Smooth bus operation and after a full day, an opportunity to relax after the event. The guide on the outward journey was entertaining and informative.
What really made this a day to remember was our centre guide "Tori". Through all our years travelling the world, she was beyond doubt the most friendly, informative and caring person we have ever encountered in this role.

I went for the first time. The staff was very polite, and everything we ate was delicious, which got us really excited. I definitely plan to go again if I have the time next time. I recommend it for couples!

はじめていきました。とてもスタッフも丁寧でどれお食べてもおいしくて二人でテンションが上がっちゃいました。次回も時間があれば是非いこうと思います。カップルにおすすめですよ。
