All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Loved everything about it!
Crew is super chill and personable. Burgers were good - came with chips and a drink.
We had plenty of time to explore the sand bar and snorkel. Crew was comforting, the whole experience was super chill.

I have attended this luau on more than one occasion. The food is good, the entertainment is great. Wonderful fire show!

After enjoying the dinner buffet, I attended the hula show. Since there were nearly 700 guests, it took a bit of time for my turn to come, but there was plenty of food prepared, so nothing ran out. The show featured a content that conveyed the history of Hawaiian music, along with performers who looked and sounded just like Elvis and Michael Jackson. I was satisfied to enjoy the hula show, especially since I was unsure about dinner.

夕食ビュッフェを最初に頂いてからフラショーの観賞でした。
ビュッフェは700人近くいるお客さんなので、順番が回ってくるまでやや時間が掛かりましたが料理も十分用意されているので無くなることはありません。
ショーはハワイミュージックの歴史を感じる内容とエルビス、マイケルジャクソンといった見た目も歌声もそっくりなショースタッフの出演でした。
夕食に迷っていた事もありフラショーを一緒に楽しめて満足です。

Rob was a very informative tour guide who provided a history lesson and some current events of the islands. He even pointed out places to stand for some of the stop points and what to look for. There were beautiful views and delicious food.

We had such a great time! The captain and his helpers are so friendly they truly make you feel like you're part of their family, great boat with great food would recommend 10/10.

the food was really good, we had such a great time loved every show, but our favorite was the fire one, definitely recommend!

Excellent crew. Trained, attentive, patient with all participants. Useful tips and talented cook.
My super -day 11/21/2022

The meal included delicious options like pork, roast beef, and was very filling! It was great that we could enjoy a variety of meats, fish, and vegetables. The juice was also tasty! During the meal, we were able to watch an aloha dance, and the music created a wonderful atmosphere while we ate! The show featured a whirlwind of dances to various songs, allowing us to really feel the essence of Hawaii, and I was extremely satisfied! It was especially exciting when songs I knew played, which doubled the fun!

ご飯は豚のお肉に、ローストビーフ、美味しいものばかりでボリュームも満点でした！お肉にお魚に野菜に満遍なくいろんな種類を取れるところもよかったです。ジュースも美味しかったです！またご飯の時も、アロハダンスが見られて、音楽がかかって良い雰囲気の中で、ご飯を食べる方ができました！ショーは怒涛の流れでいろんな曲の踊りが見られて、たくさんハワイを感じられて、大満足でしたっ！特に知ってる曲が流れた時には楽しさ倍増でした！

I and my family attended this activity on December 1, 2022. We had a great experience. The food and drinks were delicious. The service was great. Everyone was nice and friendly. The show was outstanding. All the staff and performers did a fantastic job to ensure we had a great time. We enjoyed the experience very much. We recommend this activity to anyone who is thinking about attending a luau in Oahu. The location of this activity is in Waikiki which is very convenient for us. If you are staying in Waikiki, you should definitely give this activity a try.

My husband and I booked this tour as we wanted a smaller and intimate compared a large circle Island tour.
Jose was an excellent guide and taught us a lot about Hawaiian culture and history of the islands. He really gave us an authentic experience. My husband loved hearing about how Jose spearfished and hunted and shared his catches with friends and family as is Hawaiian tradition.
Jose went out of his way to bring us to extra lookouts outside of what this tour package included and wanted to give us the best experience of Hawaii. We loved seeing the lookouts on the south and in the mountains that gave us a spectacular views of Oahu. It gave us a good taste of everything so we could spend more time in each location like Kualoa Ranch in the future if we wanted to to.
He also showed what a caring guide he was as we had a pregnant lady in our tour group, always checking up on her wellbeing and being considerate to check if any stops were needed for her.

It was my first time visiting Hawaii and I wanted to watch a hula show. After doing some research, I chose Rock-A-Hula among others because of the location. It was located in the heart of Waikiki so I didn't have to worry about driving and another parking fees. The show is overall great, but I can't really say the same about the sound quality. It's not about the performance quality, but more of a sound system they have in the theatre. I'm a musician myself and may be little sensitive than musician, most people wouldn't tell the difference. (In fact, my parents really loved it). You could see many talented dancers and singers perform and it was the bomb. I highly recommend it!

The food was amazing for a buffet. The welcome cocktail was delicious. I would recommend getting the fish and the pork. The desert was also delicious!

The show was awesome and the drinks during the show were strong. I really liked the music and the performers! There is not a bad seat in the house! The Elvis impersonator was awesome! He should be in a Vegas show! Michael Jackson could of been a little bit better but he was still good.

Our server Kyle was excellent and was awesome during the show!

They do have an after party with good music that goes late into the night.

I would recommend getting their early to get a better seat and to be able to get food first.

This is the best luau on Oahu and would recommend this show to everyone. We will definitely be back for the great food, awesome entertainment and superior hospitality.

Aloha!

Great tour! My husband and I really enjoyed it. He doesn’t typically get i to the water from any boat but he did at the sandbar. I loved the snorkel part for myself. The food was great and good selection of alcoholic drink options. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!!!

I made a reservation to see a hula show on my last night in Hawaii. The venue was just the right size, and I was able to see it up close. There were hula performances by different age groups and special appearances by celebrities, which made it very enjoyable. The food was plentiful, with lots of meat! The fruits and desserts were also delicious.

ハワイの最後の夜にフラのショーを見たくて予約しました。
会場もちょうど良い規模感で目の前で見れました。
年代別のフラのショーや有名人の演出などなどありとても楽しかったです。
お料理もお肉がたくさんでボリューム満点！
フルーツとデザートも美味しかったです。

The food was delicious, and I felt that the tasty dishes were truly enjoyable. The chicken and pork had strong flavors, but I found them to be delicious! Since it was a buffet, I could take only what I wanted, which was just right. The desserts were especially tasty and featured Hawaiian-style cuisine. During the buffet, the dancers kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. We moved to a hall in the same building for the show, where we enjoyed an authentic hula while reflecting on Hawaii's history. There were some songs in the impersonation show that I didn't quite understand, but each song was short, so I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. I experienced this with my husband on our honeymoon, and we both had a great time! However, since the seats are close together, it's necessary for everyone to take their own infection prevention measures. Also, the indoor areas in Hawaii are air-conditioned, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes. I found a light cardigan to be just right! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

食事はおいしいものはおいしいと言った感じです
特にチキンや豚は味が濃いですが私はおいしかったです！
バイキングなので欲しいものだけ取ることができたので丁度よかったです
特にデザートが美味しく、ハワイらしい料理でした
バイキング中もダンサーさんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです
ショーは同じ館内のホールに移動してハワイの歴史を振り返りながら本格的なフラを見ました
モノマネショーはよく分からない曲もありましたがどの曲も短く飽きが来なかったので楽しく見ることができました
今回ハネムーンで夫と体験しましたが2人とも楽しめました！
ただ席が近いので感染対策は各自で行う必要があります
あとハワイの室内はエアコンがきいているので羽織るものを持参した方がオススメです
私は薄手のカーディガンが丁度よかったです！
楽しい体験をありがとうございました

I participated in my honeymoon trip. The explanation for the order of going to the buffet was a bit unclear, but I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. The food was delicious. By the way, there were mostly international guests, and I was a bit anxious about the few Japanese participants, but a dancer with ties to Japan was very considerate.

We were seated in the second floor, but we were only about 10 meters away from the stage, so we had a great view. The show featured performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, and the final fire show was incredibly impressive.

It turned out to be the best trip to Hawaii!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
ビュッフェを取りに行く順番の説明が少し分かりにくかったですが、色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。料理は美味しかったです。ちなみに、ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、日本にゆかりのあるダンサーが気遣いをしてくれました。
ショーは２階席でしたが、ステージから10メートルくらいしか離れておらず、とてもよく見えました。ショーにはプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンも出てきましたし、ファイナルのファイヤーショーは迫力満点でした。
最高のハワイ旅行になりました！

My wife and I are in Honolulu for our honeymoon and we cannot have picked a better Luau. The dinner and show is conveniently located in Waikiki, central to all the shopping and hotels. We were happily greeted by the staff right from checking in and the performers, hosts, servers were also very nice. They go above and beyond to make sure that every guest has a great experience. The buffet dinner had a lot of variety of foods that cater to everyone. After dinner, we headed into the theatre for the show. They took us through the history of Hawaii with music and dancing which was very entertaining. All the performers were truly talented. Especially the fire dancing! We would highly recommend this to our friends and families.

The day was very informative,friendly and all round a fantastic experience

This sunset dinner cruise was a truely amazing experience for myself and my partner.
The three course dinner was ok, the appetiser and dessert were nothing special, but the main meal was incredible!!! We both couldn’t get enough of the crab!
The dancers were all very talented and was great entertainment onboard.
The singer and his niece also provided great entertainment in between meals.
The fireworks towards the end was also an amazing experience I will not soon forget.
One thing that stopped this from being a 5-star experience was that we were sat opposite a random couple on the same table as us, making this ‘date night’ a lot more awkward than we had expected.

We saw dolphins and whales. The crew was fun and easygoing.

So much fun . Easy to book and get on the boat. Such a nice staff. Would go again.

I was a bit anxious because there were mostly foreign participants and few Japanese attendees, but it was great that the luau buffet menu had Japanese descriptions. I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. A welcome drink was included, but any additional orders would incur extra charges. The roast beef and pork dishes were carved right in front of us. There were also desserts. Even from the second-floor seating, the show was very visible, but since both the show and buffet prioritize VIPs, I thought it might be worth paying for that. During the show, the Japanese attendees were wearing masks. The impersonations, hula, and fire dance were incredibly powerful and exciting, and I was glad to participate and feel the essence of Hawaii.

ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、ルアウビュッフェメニューは日本語表記があったためよかったです。色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。ウェルカムドリンクも1杯ついていて、それ以降注文する場合は別途お金がかかります。ローストビーフと豚料理は目の前で切り分けてくれました。デザートもあります。二階席でもショーはとてもよく見えましたが、ショーもビュッフェもVIP優先の順番になるため課金してもいいかなと思いました。ショー中は日本人の方はマスクをしていました。ものまねやフラ、ファイヤーダンスなどすごい迫力と盛り上がりで、参加してハワイを感じられてよかったです。

It was a wonderful day that we felt sorry when we were back to our hotels. Our guide was amazing. He was wonderful storyteller. We enjoyed every moment. We saw breathtaking views, ate the tastiest shrimps ever. We also enjoyed the best Dole Whip from plantation center.

I chose this restaurant with live music by the poolside for my 80-year-old mother, who is traveling abroad for the first time with my spouse, hoping to have a dinner that feels like Hawaii. As soon as we entered the hotel, we could hear the music, and it was easy to find the restaurant. We waited about 10 minutes in line with three other groups, but it didn't feel long. Our seats were close to the stage, and there was a reserved sign placed there. Since we were a party of three, we could order almost all the menu options available, and everything was delicious and generously portioned. I was surprised by the size of the salad, and seeing the two types of main dishes accompanied by mashed potatoes made me feel like I was in Hawaii (laughs). We didn't touch the Huli Huli chicken and took it home as takeout for dinner the next day. Even the next day, it was tender after reheating. I found the pineapple crème brûlée to be quite delicious.

夫婦で海外旅行初の８０歳になる母親に、ハワイらしい場所でディナーをと思いプールサイドで生演奏のあるこのレストランを選びました。ホテルに入ると音楽が聞こえてきて、レストランの場所はすぐにわかりました。３組くらいの順番待ちで１０分程度待ちましたが、長くは感じませんでした。席はステージに近い横の方でしたがよく見える場所で、リザーブの札が置いてありました。３人で参加したので、選択できるメニューはほとんど注文できましたが、どれも美味しく、どれも量が多かったです。サラダの大きさに驚いたのと、メイン料理２種類にマッシュポテトが添えてあったのを見て、ハワイに来た感じを受けました(笑)フリフリチキンは手を付けず、そのまんまテイクアウトして翌日の夕食としていただきました。次の日でもレンチンして柔らかいチキンでした。私はパイナップル・クレームブリュレがかなり美味しかったです。

I ordered the course meal.
The taste was just as expected from a high-end restaurant.
The lobster bisque, in particular, was excellent.
Since it's a high-end restaurant, the prices are surprising, but I was satisfied with the value for the money.

コースを頼みました。
味はさすが高級レストランという感じでした。
特にロブスターのビスクが最高でした。
高級レストランなので、金額はビックリしますが、金額相応に満足しました。

Staff was awesome. Boat was comfortabe and accommodating. There were eight of us and we had a great time. Plenty of snacks and food.

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend this! Really funny, informative and truly amazing talent.

Five years ago, I was moved when I first saw this show, and on the last day of my trip to Hawaii after five years, I went again. Although I was in the second-floor seats (not reserved), I was only about ten meters away from the stage, and the seating was arranged theater-style, rising from the front to the back, so I could see the cast's expressions well. The reception at the show venue starts at 7 PM, the show begins at 7:40 PM, and ends at 9 PM. If you finish an early dinner and enter as soon as the reception starts, you can sit in a good seat right in front of the stage.

Due to the weak yen, the prices have gone up a bit, but compared to show prices in Japan, I think it's still a good deal. I especially recommend this show for fans of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The show is entirely in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can enjoy it thoroughly.

５年前に初めてこのショーを見て感激し、今回５年ぶりのハワイ旅行の最終日に再び出かけました。２階席（指定席ではない）とは言ってもステージから１０メートルくらいしか離れておらず、席は劇場スタイルに前方席から後方席にかけて高くなっているのでキャストの表情も良く見えます。ショー会場の受付開始が１９時、開演が１９時４０分、終演が２１時。ちょっと早めの夕食を済ませて、受付開始同時に入場出来ればステージ正面の良い席に座れます。
円安でちょっと料金は高くなりましたが、日本のショー料金と比べたら割安と思います。エルビスプレスリーのファンの方、マイケルジャクソンのファンの方には特におススメのショーです。ショーは全て英語ですが、英語が分からなくても十分楽しめるショーです。

Really pretty to see the sunset sky, and to enjoy an evening in Waikiki
