All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The location is on the fourth floor of a shopping center in the city center, making it very convenient. The Hawaiian cuisine was varied and very delicious. The whole roasted pig was the best! Additionally, the staff was very friendly and provided wonderful hospitality.

The show was indoors, so there was no worry about rain, and the sound system was impressive. Above all, all the performers were amazing! The Hawaiian dances and songs were, of course, great, but the performances of Elvis and Michael were just like the real thing and exciting. Michael's dancing was fantastic!

It was a performance that everyone, young and old, could enjoy, and my parents in their 70s reminisced and had a great time. We had VIP tickets and were seated in the front row, so we even got to shake hands during the performance. After the show, we were able to take photos with the performers outside, which made for a great memory of Hawaii.

I definitely want to recommend this to others.

場所は中心地のショッピングセンターの4階にあり、とても便利。
ハワイアン料理もバラエティあり、とてもおいしかった。豚の丸焼きも最高！また、スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで素晴らしいおもてなしをしてくれた。
ショーは、室内なので雨天の心配なく、音響も迫力があった。何より、すべてのパフォーマーが素晴らしかった！
ハワイアンダンスや歌はもちろんだが、プレスリーやマイケルのパフォーマンスは本物さながらで興奮した。マイケルのダンスが素晴らしかった！
老若男女楽しめるパフォーマンスで、７０代の両親も昔を懐かしみ楽しんでくれた。
私たちはVIPチケットで一番前の席にしてもらったので、パフォーマンス中に握手もしてもらった。観劇後は外で、パフォーマーと写真撮影もしてもらえたのでハワイの良い記念になった。
ぜひ他の人にもお勧めしたいと思った。

The staff was friendly and provided wonderful hospitality. The food included a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and it was delicious. Additionally, the show was more impressive than I expected. The Hawaiian dance, as well as the performances of Elvis and Michael, were incredibly authentic and fantastic. Since I was in the front row of the VIP section, I even got to shake hands during the performance, which really boosted my excitement. The seating is tiered, so I think even regular seats offer a good view. The location is conveniently in the city center, making access easy. I definitely want to recommend this to others.

スタッフが皆、フレンドリーで素晴らしいおもてなしでした。料理も色んなハワイアン料理が食べれて、美味しかったです。
また、ショーが想像以上に見ごたえありました。
ハワイアンのダンスはもちろん、プレスリーやマイケルのパフォーマンスは、本物さながらでとても素晴らしかったです。
VIP席で一番前だったため、公演中に握手もしてもらいテンションがあがりました。席は階段状のつくりなので、普通の席でも見やすいと思います。
場所も中心地の便利なところにあり、アクセスも良かったです。
ぜひ周りにもおすすめしたいです。

I didn't receive the VIP treatment I was expecting, but I appreciated how kindly everyone was treated, regardless of their category.

The show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael was, of course, impressive, but the local female singers also showcased remarkable vocal talent, making it a worthwhile experience. Among them, the final act with the fire knife was thrilling; I was worried they might get burned, but it was executed perfectly—truly impressive! Good job!!

The show's progression followed the calendar year, and the deep admiration for 'Iz' from Hawaii, who appeared on the screen at the end, made the entire performance even more moving.

期待していたほどのVIP待遇は受けませんでしたが、どのカテゴリーの人に対しても親切に対応されていたのは好感がもたれました。

プレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんによるショーは、言わずもがなですが、地元の女性歌手の歌唱力も目を見張るものがあり、見応え十分でした。
中でも、最終演目のファイヤーナイフは、迫力満点で、やけどしてしまわないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、完璧にこなされ、まさにあっぱれ！Good job‼︎

ショーの展開が暦年を追った演出になっており、最後にスクリーンに登場したハワイ出身の『イズ/IZ』に対する深い敬愛がひしひしと感じられ、ショー全体がより感動的なものに仕上がっていました。

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and fire dancing. Before the show, there was a buffet-style dinner, but with the staff's signal, everyone rushed to get their food, creating a huge line. As a result, there wasn't much time, and it felt like we just made one round through the buffet. The roast beef was delicious.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by a medley of impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and songs from local singers, which was quite enjoyable. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

Overall, I felt that just the show would have been enough.

今回ハワイの伝統フラダンスやファイヤーダンスが見たかったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。ショーの前にビュッフェスタイルの夕食がありましたが、スタッフの合図とともに皆一斉に料理を取りにいくため、すごい行列となり時間も無くなりビュッフェといっても一通り１周して終わりといった感じでした。料理内容はローストビーフが美味しかったです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのメドレーとファイヤーダンスや地元の歌手？の歌などでまずまず楽しめました。終了後出演者と写真を撮っていただよい記念になりました。
総合的な感想は、ショーだけでよかったと思いました。

This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.

I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.

For our first honeymoon in Hawaii, we chose to visit Honolulu as our first sightseeing spot. We picked it because we could enjoy a Hawaiian food buffet and watch hula dancing. There were some moments of confusion due to the wait time and the new experience, but all the food was delicious! They even sang a special song for our honeymoon with a ukulele, and after the meal, we enjoyed a show featuring impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. After the show, we were able to take photos together... It was truly a lot of fun! I highly recommend it.

初めてのハネムーンでのハワイ。ホノルルに到着して最初の観光に選びました。
ハワイアンフードのビュッフェとフラダンスが見れるということで選びました。
待ち時間や、はじめてのことに戸惑うところもありましたが、ご飯は全て美味しくいただけました！
ウクレレでハネムーン用に歌って頂いたり、食事を終わってからのショーはエルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのモノマネが楽しめたり、ショー終了後には写真を一緒に撮影できたり…
本当に楽しかったです！
ぜひ、オススメです。

The weather was somewhat lacking, but the sun came out occasionally, making it a decent day. The guide on the boat spoke Japanese clearly, so I felt reassured that I could hear the explanations well. At the sandbar, the sea sparkled beautifully, and it was very moving. It was amusing to watch the beach volleyball match between the participants, which turned into a Japan-US competition. (I was thinking to myself, "You went to the beach, and you're happy about that?" haha)

I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger for lunch, but it was very delicious and the portion was just right; it might have been the best part of the tour!

I participated in the last snorkeling session where I could stand, but since it was a few meters deep, I didn't join in to accommodate my family who can't swim. I recommend understanding that snorkeling will be in places where you can't stand before participating. Also, the large shuttle bus was comfortable for both trips, which was nice.

今一な天候でしたが時より太陽も出てまあまあな天気でした
船上でのガイドさんは日本語でかつ良く通る声なのでしっかり説明が聞けて安心できました。
サンドバーの所では海がキラキラ輝いてとても感動しました。
ツアー参加者同士のビーチバレーが日米対抗になっていて見ていて面白かった
(海に行ったんだろ？そんなので喜んでどうするって自分に突っ込んてましたがw)

昼食のハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とてもおいしく量も丁度良くツアーの中でこれが一番良かったかなw

一番最後のシュノーケリングは背が立つレベルなら参加しましたが、数メートルあるそこそこ深い所の為、金槌の家族に合わせ参加しませんでした。背が立たたない場所でのシュノーケリングという事を理解した上で参加されることをお勧めします。
あと送迎のバスが大型で往復ともゆったりできたのは良かったです。

We had this Snorkeling Adventure June1988 on our Honeymoon. We are Happy Uncle Bob’s Snorkeling Adventure 36 years later our Honeymoon with our 2 kids to share our Love June 2024.
Looking forward to do this again with our grandkkds someday.
Awesome crew. Perfect Sandbar
Thank you for the Memories♥️♥️

Although the small child caused various inconveniences, both the driver and the guide who spoke Japanese were very kind, and we had a really great day.

小さな子供が色々と迷惑をかけましたが、運転手さんも日本語のしゃべれるガイドさんもすごく親切で、すごくいい一日を過ごせました。

A relaxed atmosphere where you can feel at ease. However, the performance took a while to start, so I would have liked them to provide a start time! The food was decent! The performance was good, but the children in the pool were a bit distracting (laughs).

気軽な雰囲気でリラックス。ただ演奏か中々始まらないので開始時間を提示して欲しい！食事はまあまあのレベル！演奏は良いがプールの子どもは気になった(笑)

First, we enjoyed a buffet together, and then we moved on to watch the Rock-a-Flash show! When Michael Jackson's song played, I got really excited (laughs).

最初にみなさんでビュッフェをいただいてから、移動してロック・ア・フラショーを鑑賞しました！マイケルジャクソンの歌がかかったときは、テンション上がりました（笑）

This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!

We had Cousin Elaine and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and enjoyed our tour. She taught us a lot about the culture and history of the islands. She made the tour more personal by remembering our names and by calling us her ohana. This was one of the best tours I’ve been on, we got to stop and see a lot of the northern part of the island.

The Royal Hawaiian Center is quite spacious, so I struggled to reach the fourth floor, but I managed to arrive a bit early. Since I had made a reservation in advance, I showed my passport at the counter for identification and completed the check-in. Communication in Japanese wasn't very smooth, but I was somehow guided to my seat at the buffet-style dining area. I received a welcome drink and was greeted with Hawaiian dance, allowing me to feel the atmosphere of Hawaii.

As it was buffet-style, participants were called in turn to serve food onto their plates and then return to their seats to eat. Being a buffet, I could choose as much of my favorite dishes as I wanted. The roast beef was cut by the chef from a large chunk of meat. All the dishes were delicious, but the pineapple served at the table was the best. To enjoy the tropical vibe, I ordered a Chi Chi drink. The dining time was set longer, allowing me to finish my meal comfortably.

When it was time for the show, the staff guided us to our seats, and the show began. The stage was spacious, and the lighting was professional. The venue was lively with performances by impersonators of Elvis and Michael, hula dancing by dancers, and ethnic performances involving fire. Elvis even came down to the audience during the show and shook hands with us, which made me laugh because he looked so much like the real Elvis. He brought laughter to the audience with his talk at various points. Although I didn't understand much English, the enjoyable time flew by, and it was a very satisfying show. This is not just a hula dance show; it incorporates advanced Hawaiian elements into the entertainment, so those participating should keep that in mind.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターは広い為、4階にたどり着くのに苦労したが、何とか時間前に到着。事前予約していたので、カウンターで本人確認の為パスポートを見せて受付完了。日本語でのコミュニケーションは、あまり上手に伝わらなかったが、何とかバイキング形式の席に案内され着席。ウェルカムドリンクをもらう。ハワイアンダンスの歓迎を受け、ハワイの雰囲気を感じることができた。バイキング形式の為、参加者は順番に呼ばれて料理を皿に盛り、席に戻って食事。バイキングなので好きな料理を好きなだけチョイス。ローストビーフは大きな肉の塊からシェフが切ってくれた。どの料理も美味しかったが、テーブルに出されていたパイナップルが一番だった。南国気分を味わう為ドリンクはチチを注文。食事の時間は長めに設定されていて、余裕をもって完食。ショーの時間になると係の人が席に案内してくれてショーがスタート。ステージも広く照明も本格的。エルビス.マイケルらのそっくりさんによる歌、ダンサーによるフラダンス、火を使った民族的な出し物などで会場は大いに盛り上がった。エルビスはショーの途中、観客席まで降りて来て握手までしてくれた。よく似ているので、笑ってしまった。所々トークで会場に笑いをもたらしていた。（自分はあまり英語の理解ができなかったが）楽しいひと時はあっという間だったが、大満足のショーだった。フラダンス主体のショーではなく、先進的なハワイ要素を取り込んだエンターテイメントなので参加される方はお間違えなく。

I felt very relieved to participate in the tour as Japanese was also understood. The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the scenery was beautiful and it was the best. It was a bit disappointing that it rained in the morning, making the water a little murky, but the sea was still beautiful. The hamburger we ate on the water was also very delicious.

日本語も通じて非常に安心してツアーに参加できました。
サンドバーでは膝ぐらいでしたが、景色も綺麗で最高でした。
当日朝が雨で少し水が濁っていて残念でしたが、綺麗な海でした
海上で食べるハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです

Overall outstanding!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome view!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome activity! This is my second time booking captain bob’s and I can’t tell you enough how great it is, you would need to experience it for yourself! From the start, the staff are very welcoming and keep you entertained throughout the entire experience. They take the time to go around to chat with everyone, making it a comfortable excursion. Although they don’t do anything specific for birthdays, they still made sure to sing her a happy birthday! Book it, you won’t regret it!

I enjoyed the beautiful sea at Sandbar. We also saw sea turtles while sailing, and we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling as well. The hamburgers were delicious, and the weather was great.

サンドバーではキレイな海を楽しめました。また、航行中にウミガメも見れて、シュノーケリングでもウミガメを見ることができました。ハンバーガーも美味しく、天気にも恵まれてよかったです。

We went to Waikiki for our wedding and honeymoon! We wanted to enjoy something truly Hawaiian, so we made a reservation through Veltra from Japan. The buffet-style meals were delicious, and we were able to enjoy flavors different from those in Japan! The pineapple was cold and tasty too (*´ч`*). The hula dance show during the meal and the post-meal show were filled with Hawaiian charm, and they were all so exciting to watch☆

However, even though we booked the VIP course thinking it would be special, we were guided to the show just like everyone else, and when the paths split, there was no detailed guidance. We were led into the venue in a flowing manner. While we could see from the front, the staff randomly assigned our seats, and those who arrived later were seated in the more visible middle area. Considering the extra cost, I felt there was no need to choose the VIP course. Also, while I knew this beforehand, the fresh flower lei that is only available with the VIP course couldn't be taken back to Japan, so I was disappointed about that since I was looking forward to it.

結婚式とハネムーンを兼ねてワイキキに行きました！ハワイらしいことを楽しみたいと思い、日本からベルトラで予約しました。食事もビュッフェ形式にしては美味しく、日本とは違った味を楽しむことが出来ました！パイナップルも冷たくて美味しかったです(*´ч`*)食事中のフラダンスショーや食後のショーもハワイらしさがたくさん詰まっていて、見ていてワクワクするものばかりでした☆
しかし、せっかくだからと思いVIPコースで予約しましたが、ショーに案内される時にも一般の方と同じように一斉に案内され、途中で一般と道が分かれる際にも詳しい案内はなく、流れ込むように会場に案内されました。前方で見ることは出来ましたが、席もスタッフに勝手に決められ、後から来た人の方を真ん中の見やすい所に座らせたりと値段を上乗せした割には、VIPコースをわざわざ選択する必要は無いかと思いました。また、これは分かっていた事ですが、VIPコースのみ貰える生花のレイも結局日本には持って帰れないので、VIPコースで楽しみにしてた分ガッカリでした。

Easy to book, so nice they have the pick up / drop off so you can enjoy your evening safely!

The champagne toast was so fun for an anniversary evening, we loved our night!

Great evenings, lots of laughter and fun learning experiences in the beginning that was a fun way to start the luau!

perfect pair after a relaxing pool day, delish cuisine and lots of fun happening on board!

The experience was awesome! We got to learn and experience a lot of what the native Polynesian cultures were like. Many of the staff are actually university students who help fund most of their education through working here so that is nice to know.

The Buffet was the biggest Buffet hall and selection that I have ever seen- there was live music too and it was all just beautiful. The food was really good too!

The Fire Dance show was just an amazing performance. All the people responsible for making this were so skilled. It looked like everyone was having a great time.

This was my first luau. Although not a traditional luau that one would see on a beach, this one was fantastic. The food was delicious with plenty to choose from, the staff was courteous and helpful, and the show incorporated traditional song and dance along with "Elvis" and "Michael Jackson"...all were so very talented! The seating in the theatre was comfortable, and the location was easy to get to. I highly recommend!

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon for the first time. Upon arriving at the venue, we were greeted with a lei service and shown to our seats. We shared a table with people from various nationalities, and there was a drink service along with a pineapple dish prepared on the table. After a toast, we were guided to the buffet, which included satisfying options like roast beef, fried white fish, and salad. Between meals, there were hula dances and hula lessons that were sure to get everyone excited! After dinner, we moved to the theater for the show. Traditional Hawaiian hula dances, along with performances of songs by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, were featured, allowing us to enjoy familiar tunes and dances. From the meal to the show, we were thoroughly satisfied and never bored!

新婚旅行で初めてハワイを訪れました。会場に到着するとレイのサービスがあり席へ案内されました。
様々な国籍の方と席を共にし、ドリンクサービスと卓上にはパイナップルの食事が用意されていました。ブュッフェは乾杯の後に席ごとに案内され、ローストビーフや白身魚のフライ、サラダなど満足のいく内容でした。食事の合間にはフラダンスやフラレッスンなど盛り上がること間違いなし！食後はシアターに移動し鑑賞がスタート。ハワイの伝統的なフラダンスやエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなどが登場し、日本人にもとても馴染みのある楽曲やダンスで楽しむことが出来ました。食事からショーまで飽きることなく大満足することが出来ました！

- The pre-show meal included services that enhanced the mood for participating in the show, such as hula dance practice.
- The combination of Polynesian and rock (Elvis and Michael Jackson) brought a unique Hawaiian hospitality that made us laugh and brought tears of nostalgia.
- The integration of rock (Elvis and Michael Jackson) stars with the venue was fantastic, truly the pinnacle of entertainment.
- The dancers and singers were common members of both the Polynesian and rock performances, and each provided an impressive experience on stage.
- The opportunity to interact with the performers and take commemorative photos after the show was a service that will remain a lifelong memory. Thank you.
- Next time, I would like to bring my grandchildren along to enjoy it.

・ショーの前の食事では、フラダンスの練習などショー参加の気分を盛り上げるサービス
・ポリネシアンとロック（プレスリーとマイケルジャクソン）の組み合わせは、ハワイならではのおもてなしで大いに笑い、大いになつかしさに涙した。
・ロック（プレスリーとマイケルジャクソン）スターと会場との一体化した盛り上がりは素晴らしくこれぞエンターテインメントの極みでした。
・ダンサーや歌手のメンバーは、ポリネシアンとロックの両方に共通のメンバーであったが、それぞれ上質の舞台で感動した。
・上演後にホールで出演者との交流や記念撮影は、一生の思い出に残るサービスでした。ありがとう。
・次回は、孫も同伴して楽しみたいです。

My first overseas trip after the end of COVID was, of course, Hawaii. Despite the extremely weak yen and high prices, I thought it would be nice to enjoy a dinner show for one night, so I chose the Rock-a-Hula show. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I had always been interested in it, but I never had the chance to go until now. It was a great decision.

On the day of the show, I arrived a little early and was welcomed with a fresh flower lei, then promptly shown to my seat. There was already a whole pineapple on the table. Soon, a Mai Tai was served, and we enjoyed lively ukulele performances and hula dancing at each table. The open-air venue had a pleasant breeze, and I truly felt the Hawaiian spirit.

After dinner, we moved to a different area for the much-anticipated showtime. The high-level hula, impressive fire dancing, and the service-filled Elvis with handshakes, along with the sharp dancing of Michael, were all fantastic. Since we had VIP seats, we enjoyed an incredible experience right in the front row center. I had the best night on my last day in Honolulu.

コロナ明け初の海外は、やっぱりハワイ。超円安＋物価高とは言え、せっかくなので一夜は何かディナーショーをと思って選んだのがロックアフラショー。５回目のハワイで今までも気になっていたのですが、行く機会が無く今回初参加。これが大正解。
当日は少し早めに会場に着いたのですが、歓迎の生花レイをかけて貰い、すぐに席に案内。テーブルには既に丸ごとパイナップル。程なくマイタイが運ばれ、テーブル毎のウクレレ弾き語りやフラダンスなどで大盛り上がり。オープンエアの会場は心地よい風が吹抜け、まさにハワイ気分満喫。
食事後は会場を移して、お待ちかねショータイム。ハイレベルなフラ、大迫力のファイヤーダンス、握手等サービス満点のエルビス、キレキレダンスのマイケル等など、今回はVIP席だったので前列中央席で臨場感抜群で堪能。ホノルル最後の日で最高の夜を楽しめました。

Should I take the classic boat ride or go to the Rock-a-Hula show? I decided to go to the Rock-a-Hula show. The deciding factor was the good access from the hotel, considering the return trip after drinking. In the end, this choice was absolutely correct.

First, we toasted with a welcome drink of Mai Tai before dinner, and during the wait, they played the ukulele just for us to celebrate our decades of marriage.

As for the much-anticipated meal, it was a buffet with a variety of options. The roast beef was particularly delicious. They carved it right in front of us, and we went back for seconds. It paired perfectly with the Western horseradish.

As the meal came to an end, there was a participatory hula dance that anyone could join. After that, we were guided to the theater for the main entertainment. A live band featured look-alikes of the famous Elvis and Michael, and their gestures were so similar that it really got the crowd excited.

We enjoyed the Hawaiian dances and fire dances, fully immersing ourselves in the Hawaiian atmosphere. Since we had VIP seats, we were right at the front and had a fantastic time. At the end, we had the opportunity to take photos with the performers, which made for a great keepsake.

This is an experience you can't have in Japan, so I highly recommend it!

定番の船に乗るか？ロック・ア・フラショーに行くか？で悩んだのですが、ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。
選択基準は、ホテルからのアクセスが良いので、飲んだ後の帰路を考えてです。結果、こちらの選択が大正解でした。

まずは、食事前にマイタイでのウエルカムドリンクで乾杯し、食事までの間にウクレレを弾いてくれました。結婚数十年のお祝いに私達だけに弾いてくれました。
そして待望の食事ですが、ビッフェ形式で色々ありました。特に美味しかったのは、ローストビーフです。目の前で切り分けていただき、お替りもしました。西洋わさびとの相性が抜群でした。
食事が終盤に差し掛かると参加型のフラダンスがあり、だれでも参加可能です。
その後、劇場に案内され、いよいよメインのエンターテイメントです。
生バンドであの有名なエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさんが出てくるのですが、仕草等似ていてとても盛り上がります。
そして、ハワイの踊りやファイヤーダンスでハワイ感を堪能できました。
今回はVIP席でしたので、一番前でとても盛り上がりました。
最後退場時には、ショーの方々との写真が可能で記念になります。

日本では味わえないので、是非体験されることをお勧めします。

This was our second trip on the Star of Honolulu, the first being 9 years ago. I paid more this time for an upgraded meal. The meal was good, but I think we would have been happier with just the buffet. The upgrade wasn’t really worth the price we paid. The entertainment was good and the views were spectacular! If we come to Hawai’i again, I think we’ll just get the lowest price meal and still do the cruise.
