When Michael sings, from the back of the audience... Surprise!! A ghost~
The backup dancers had great energy, and I enjoyed watching everything.
With the backup dancers, the plump Michael was dancing energetically, and the audience was able to join in the fun as well.
I had a ticket reserved for showtime only, without a meal, so I wasn't in the middle, but I was seated on the aisle, which was nice.
If you want to include a meal, please make a reservation with it. The seats were in the middle of the studio.
During showtime, taking photos and videos is allowed.

マイケルが歌うと、客席の後ろから…ビックリ‼︎お化け〜
バッグダンサーの踊りにキレが有り、全て観ていて楽しめました。
バッグダンサーと一緒に、ぷっくりマイケルですがノリノリ踊ってくれて、客席からも一緒に楽しめましたよ。
私は食事無しの、ショータイムのみのチケット予約でしたので、真ん中ではありませんでしたが、通路側の席からでしたが良かったですよ。
食事を付けたい方は付けて予約してください。席がスタジオの真ん中でしたよ。
ショータイム中、写メにビデオ大丈夫。

This time, we participated in a tour for our honeymoon. It's truly moving to experience a show where the audience can cheer and get excited together, something we rarely get to do in our daily lives. At the end, we even got to take photos with the performers, which was a lot of fun! The hula dance and fire dance were of very high quality and really got the audience pumped up, making us feel the thrill of the flames as well. Since it's an indoor stage, it's easy to go regardless of the weather. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii!

今回は新婚旅行でツアーに参加しました。
こんなに歓声をあげて観客皆で盛り上がれるショーは普段、日常、なかなか体験出来ないので感激です。最後は出演していた方にお写真も撮って頂けてとても楽しませて頂きました！フラダンスや炎のダンス、かなり完成度が高くて盛り上げてくれるので 観客側のこっちも炎のスリルと同時に盛り上がります。雨天関係なく室内のステージなのでいつでも行きやすいです。またハワイに来た時は行きたいです！

Royal Package is definitely worth it for the seating alone. The show feels lso great to be closer, as I had went 3 years ago with regular seating and the experience is much more worth it.

Fun in the sun! The west side was an awesome escape from Waikiki with gorgeous water and mountain views from the sea! It seems impossible to not see

Definitely worth the upgraded event, the dinner was nothing short of delicious, the staff was impecable as well! MAHALO!!

Awesome dinner cruise! We had fun and the foods were delicious!! Don’t forget to tip!! They took a picture of us it’s $27 and some of the packages has it. They also have lei flower for $15.

The Luau itself was fantastic. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The presenters were fantastic educational and entertaining. The bar lines were a bit longer, but besides that greast evening

The Chief is extremely funny and very talented. As well to all of the performers and staff were kind and incredibly talented. It is much more organized than the other luaus we attended. The fire knife show was the best I've ever seen.

I live on the mainland, and this time I met up with a friend from Japan in Honolulu. My friend, who hasn't been to Hawaii in a while, expressed a strong desire to see a hula dance show, so we decided to participate.

For retirees like us, Hawaii seems to be becoming a distant world, and as organizers, they must be struggling to balance the reality of Hawaii with the fantasy, which is likely why they created this Hula + Rock show. While the hula is enjoyable, the rock part can be fun if you view it as an impersonation show. The live show industry has faced tremendous challenges due to COVID-19, and I hope we can support them in any way possible.

As for the meal, to be honest, it was disappointing. I had hoped for something special, but the food was just what you could get at any restaurant outside. My friend, who really enjoyed the show, mentioned that there are many good restaurants nearby, so next time we will enjoy dinner there and just focus on the show.

当方米本土在住、今回は日本の友人とホノルルで待ち合わせ。日本友人は、久々のハワイで、是非フラダンスショウが見たい、との希望で参加しました。
私たちのようなリタイア世代の心の中にあるハワイは、もう遠い世界になりつつあるようで、主催者としても、現実のハワイと幻想のバランスを取ろうと苦肉の策の演出がこのフラ+Rock なのでしょうね。フラはよいとして、Rockはそっくりさんの物まねショウとしてみると楽しめます。コロナで、特にライブショウ関係者は大変な災難を受けています。少しでも彼らを応援できれば良いなと思います。
お食事は、正直、期待外れ。特別なものが用意されるのかと期待したのですが、外のレストランでもいただけるものばかりでした。ショウが大いに気に行った友人は、場所柄良いレストランが近くにたくさんあるので、次回は食事はそちらで楽しみ、ショウだけでとのことでした。

Highly recommend.. don't hesitate and just book it.. Awesome experience! Beautiful views! Super awesome crew on board and learned alot tooo! And would do it again! Great place to take your family. I took my sr parents and they had a blast.

They rein acted Michael Jackson and Elvis alot ❤️ They have a beautiful Polynesian singer /host . My fav part was the fire show thats what I was trily just waiting on ❤️ They serve awesome drinks virgin if requested❤️ Nice time wiith my man.

Uncle Billy and Brother Ross were knowledgeable about Island history, geography, and culture. We learned, explored, and laughed a ton. We especially liked the added stops along the way. The day went quick, we were on and off the bus frequently.

To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!

I have waited a while to write this review. I am not usually negative about many things, but I honestly did not enjoy this tour, primarily due to our tour guide.

I booked this tour for my hubby & myself as it was his first time to the island, so I wanted him to experience the entire island & see each of the highlights which this tour had every stop I was looking for. The itinerary as indicated on the website was perfect ... however our tour guide, Chief Rob as he called himself, had his own itinerary. I think he was grumpy when he picked us up, and almost came across as a strict school teacher pretty much immediately, so not really a fun guy or a fun day. We did not have the early breakfast stop at Leonards, he instead decided that he wanted to stop at a different location further into the tour. So we had to walk around the temple eating this donut, only to be immediately taken for lunch afterwards - poor planning. And the north shore visit, was a super quick drive-by. Meanwhile we talked to others who did island tours, and they stopped at Turtle Beach, etc, so we were kind of bummed about that. I feel we could have spent more time with a stop along North Shore and less time at the Dole plantation ... as the amount of time that we were given at the Dole plantation didn't really allow for us to do anything, yet long enough that we were bored.

All in all, the tour itinerary seemed decent but the day we had was not fun. Actually, this tour was the least fun part of my entire trip so I don't think I would recommend it to others

I booked this tour with a Japanese guide because my husband doesn't speak English, but the guide and the other participants were all from English-speaking countries and knew zero Japanese. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I was a bit surprised.

旦那さんが英語を話せないので日本語ガイド付きのこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、ガイドおよびツアー参加者が英語圏の方で、日本語はゼロ。ツアー自体は楽しかったですが、少しびっくりしました。

Great food, excellent service, beautiful show, and wonderful atmosphere!

I'm glad I was able to participate in the tour.

The guide, Kanako, was bright and fun, and her explanations during the tour were easy to understand. She was also attentive to everyone in the group, which left a very good impression.

I enjoyed eating the shrimp from Kahuku, malasadas, coffee, and other things I wanted to try. There were no issues with restroom breaks, and I had a great time. If I had one complaint, it would be that the time in Haleiwa was short—about 30 minutes, I think? I was disappointed that I couldn't visit all the shops I wanted to, so I feel a bit regretful about Haleiwa.

ツアーに参加出来て良かったです

心残りがある感じです

I was able to walk through the jungle-like trees and feel the essence of Hawaii, enjoying the rare and precious scenery along with the refreshing air. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of water at Manoa Falls for the tour, but the lunch sandwich was delicious, and I'm glad I signed up for this tour.

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

I will start with our driver ernie he so nice and good made the drive not boring...The Historical sites of the Pearl Harbor was amazing and ghostbumps..feeling the history that I only read and watch on YT

The location is about a 30-minute drive from Waikiki, and picking up participants in Waikiki took quite a bit of time. Although it is a hiking tour, there are some steep paths, and since it was raining on and off, I was putting on and taking off my raincoat, which made me sweat a lot and quite tired. (It seems to rain often there, so I think non-slip shoes and a raincoat are necessary.) Also, there are quite a few mosquitoes, so insect repellent spray or long pants are recommended. (I wore shorts and got bitten in several places.) The mystical forest and the fairly large waterfall were amazing to see. On the way back, we had lunch at Tantalus Lookout. I had a pastrami sandwich, and the dressing was especially delicious.

場所はワイキキから車で30分程度のところにあり、
ワイキキでの参加者のピックアップの方が時間がかかったぐらいです。
ハイキングツアーとなっていますが、
結構な坂道になっており、雨も降ったり止んだりで
カッパを着たり脱いだりしていたため、結構汗をかき疲れました。
(雨が降ることが多いところらしいので、
滑りにくい靴とカッパは必要だと思います)
また、蚊が結構いるため虫除けスプレーか長ズボンがお勧めです。
(短パンで行ったため何ヶ所か蚊に刺されました)
神秘的な森と、結構大きな滝が見れて最高でした。
帰りはタンタラスの丘で昼食。パストラミサンドにしましたが、
特にドレッシングがとても美味しかったです。

So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.

Very little elevation gain on the trail, so it’s a very nice walk for most.

The amount of water coming down the falls depends on how much it has been raining. For us there was only a trickle.

They can’t take you to the official Tantalus Lookout inside the state park any more due to current restrictions, but you’ll still be treated to a pretty nice viewpoint overlooking the city after your picnic lunch.

Its a rain or shine experienced but its awesome...My 7yo son is biracial Filipino Taiwanese and cannot understand english but he clapped like an adult during the HA a breath of life show... the fire dance by the samoan made him amaze...the food at gateway was perfect...I've seen so many Filipinos in the buffet area assesting us... So many crew assesting in the tribes sometimes I felt overwhelmed yet its good...the missionaries were good too... the asked me both are approachable too...they all smile...I'm so proud that they have Filipino and other asian workers...Mabuhay
PS. I liked the bus driver Shaft so funny and informative

When you go to the reception at check-in time, you are first seated at a long table outside. The spacing between the chairs is a bit tight, so it feels like you're crammed in among strangers.

You receive a complimentary welcome drink, along with two free drink vouchers (you can choose whether they include alcohol). The meals are served buffet-style, and there were also some light entertainment during the meal. The taste was average, but the drinks (cocktails) were delicious.

Before long, we were guided inside the venue to watch the show, and finally, it was time for the Hawaiian show.

It started with hula dancing, followed by impersonations of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, and there was also a fire dance. The quality of the show was high, and I really enjoyed it.

チェックインタイムに受け付けに行くと、まず外にある長いテーブルに座らされます。椅子の間隔がやや狭いので、知らない人の中に詰め込まれる感じです。

無料のウェルカムドリンク、それとは別にドリンク２杯の無料券がもらえます(アルコール有無が選択できる)。
食事はビッフェ形式で、食事中もちょっとした余興がありました。お味は普通かな。飲み物(カクテル)は、美味しかったです。

そうこうしているうちに、ショーを見るために館内へ入るように案内され、いよいよハワイアンショーです。

フラダンスに始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ダイアナ・ロスのそっくりさんショーがあり、ファイアーダンスもありました。ショーの完成度は高く楽しめました。

母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。

ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。

CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪

ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました！
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました！

シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ！
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました！

ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています！
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います！

I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.

ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。

We were picked up promptly and driver very informative. Dropped off on time to do our event. Upon completion driver there with our fresh malasadas. Then took us and got us seated for our açaí bowls. Came back, on schedule, an hour later and then dropped us back off at our hotel. All so perfectly done and what a pleasant driver.

We celebrated the night before our marriage on this event. We were a large group of 27. They accommodated us and sat us all together. The entertainment and the food were excellent. The servers kept everything flowing and joyful. Very organized and fun. I really enjoyed the dancers and singers. They performed in front of us and had them all over so everyone could enjoy them. The only bummer was that I specifically chose to go on the Friday sunset cruise for the firework show. However, it didn’t happen due to the winds. I was very sad. Other than that, I thought it was a fabulous experience.

Overall great experience with a good meal, friendly crew, and add-ons to capture the adventure.

I would do it again. But I'd some time of approved boat shoe or water shoe. Not a fan of barefoot in public areas.
