Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Awesome Show
Activity Date: 2022/07/14 | Posted on: 2022/07/21

We had a really great time. From our bus host to the main event. Cousin Tao was our bus host and she made the 45 minute bus ride fly by. She educated us on the culture the tattoos and made us laugh. She talked about pearl harbour, the climate of the island, as well as some of her native language.

We enjoyed the food. The pork was flavorful, chicken was good. Like anyone, I stayed away from what I knew I wouldn't like. Drinks were ok, but we aren't big drinkers to begin with. The main show amazing. Chief was very entertaining. The dancers were authentic. They tell a story and explain each islands culture, while entertaining you. The finale was great with multiple fire knife world champions. I highly recommend this luau! Yeah it's not on the beach, but so what! I learned about the culture, and had great food.
Also at the end of the night we ended up with two drunk strays. Cousin Tao, even though she didn't have to. She could've just said sorry you aren't on the roster and made them get off the bus. She
Called her boss, asked him to come back to bring them back to Waikiki. I thought that was super nice of her. If you want a genuine luau experience go to Chiefs luau.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Had a great time once we arrived
Activity Date: 2022/07/16 | Posted on: 2022/07/18

Our arranged bus was 20 min late, but part of the blame was a nearby hit and run (so traffic staggered around the police and paramedics). This caused us to miss most of the pre-show. Can't really fault anyone for that - just wished we had experienced it.
They no longer separate parties by table, so no more actual COVID separation (on paper/signs, they ask people to wear masks when away from their tables, but hardly anyone did so and no one enforced it).
Food was great. Buffet style, both sides of 2 rows of tables. Pick what you want, go back as much as you want. Lines were quick.
Performance was awesome. I wasn't aware that they had world champion fire dancers in the troupe. I personally loved the stories and explanations of each dance.

It was okay.

The steak wasn't that good, but the crab and chicken were. Fireworks were nice but for the price we paid, I'm a little disappointed. The dances they performed are rhe same you would see at a luau. The men's slap dance was entertaining.

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk
Disappointed for sure!
Activity Date: 2022/07/11 | Posted on: 2022/07/15
Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

Hi Dan,

We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:

1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.

Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.

In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.

With Aloha

I appreciated leaving on time from the harbor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The ride
allowed us to see the beautiful Kaneohe Bay. We were given ample time on the soundbar which is breathtaking. Snorkeling was also a lot of fun and we see a number of turtles. The lunch and service was great.

Amazing Luau!
Activity Date: 2022/06/24 | Posted on: 2022/07/08

My entire family attend Chief's Luau and it was wonderful from top to bottom. They provided a huge amount of good food and moved people through the line quickly. Chief Sielu was delightfully funny, wise, heartfelt and shared his culture in such a beautiful way. All of the musicians, dancers and fire/knife dancers were absolutely amazing. All the performers showed such a passion and love of their culture. I would highly recommend this luau for anyone wanting to learn more about Polynesian culture.

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.

We had a blast with Morgan driving use around the 900+ acre Gunstock Ranch we saw a see cave, a WWII pill box, beautiful views of the North shore and the East side of the island. Lunch was at a peaceful shaded area on top of the ranch. And we had to try out the tree swing. Did I mention that almost all of the ranch hands are beautiful women. Thank you Gunstock we had a great time.

- I was a bit anxious on the bus since most of the people around me were foreigners, but once I got on the boat, there was a Japanese guide who was very polite and friendly, and I had a great time.
- There were also preschool children, which made me a little nervous, but thanks to the guide, I was able to enjoy myself without any worries.
- The hamburger on the boat was delicious, and I felt completely satisfied with everything! I want to go again!!

・バスの中は周りは外国の方ばかりで不安でしたが、船に乗ると日本人のガイドの方がいらして、とても丁寧かつフレンドリーに接していただき、とても楽しかったです。
・未就学児もいて少しドキドキでしたが、ガイドさんのおかげで全く不安なく過ごすことができました。
・船上でのハンバーガーも、普通においしく、すべてにおいて心が満たされました!また行きたい!!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Good show/food, Odd location
Activity Date: 2022/07/02 | Posted on: 2022/07/04

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup
Great day on the water!
Activity Date: 2022/06/28 | Posted on: 2022/07/03

This was a great experience! We stayed in Waikiki and the pick-up and drop-off was amazing, especially at the end of the day since we were able to sleep on the shuttle home. Swimming around and playing volleyball on the sandbar was fun! The crew did a good job getting the passengers involved. After lunch we drove around and saw sea turtles before heading to the reef to snorkel. It was our first time snorkeling, but the crew was helpful making sure we were comfortable with the gear. We had a blast! Would definitely book this if you're looking to maximize your time with activities.

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>
It's a rip-off. There's no value for the high price.
ぼったくり。高価な値段に対して価値は無い。
Posted on: 2022/07/01

I couldn't swim with the dolphins. I could only watch them swimming from the boat. I was really disappointed because I joined thinking I would be able to swim with them.

The website mentioned dolphin watching, but it was only on the top page, and the wording on other pages was ambiguous, leading me to believe I would be swimming close to the dolphins, but instead, I just watched them from the boat for a few minutes.

There are still videos on YouTube showing people swimming with dolphins, which feels misleading, like a promotional ad.

The snorkeling afterward had no corals or tropical fish at all; what were we supposed to see in such a barren sea? I was told by the crew that we would see turtles, but there were none. Other guests quickly got out of the water and seemed bored on the boat.

The only fun part was the slide, but paying 20,000 yen per person for this experience is way too high and not worth it. I've participated in various tours before, but this was the least satisfying and the most expensive.

The lunch was not tasty either. The optional photos, which are also quite expensive, are definitely not worth it. The pictures we took ourselves were much better, and since we couldn't swim with the fish, turtles, or dolphins, we ended up with photos of just floating in the sea or sitting on the boat.

I absolutely do not recommend this tour. I even wonder if they set such high prices because they are struggling with fewer customers. I regret not choosing a different tour.

イルカと一緒には泳げません。船の上からイルカが泳いでいるのを眺めるだけ。イルカと泳げると思い参加しただけに残念でなりません。
HPにはイルカウォッチングと記載がありましたが、TOPページに載っているのみで、他のページにはイルカと泳げる様な曖昧な書き方だった為、イルカの近くには行けないけど、見える距離で一緒に泳ぐのかなと思い参加しましたが、船の上から数分イルカを眺めるだけです。
YouTubeにもイルカと泳いでいる動画が未だに載せてあったり、誘導広告のようで、紛らわしいです。
その後のシュノーケルは珊瑚も熱帯魚も全くおらず、何も居ない海で何を見ろと言うのでしょうか?
亀と会えると搭乗員から言われていたのに、亀も居ない。他のお客さんも早々に海から上がりつまらなそうに船でしてました。
唯一滑り台だけが面白かったですが、これで1人2万円の料金は高すぎて割に合わない。今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが1番満足度が低く、高額でした。
お弁当も美味しくない。オプションで付けられる、これまた高額な写真は絶対に付けない方がいい。自分達で撮った方がよっぽど良い写真ばかりで、魚も亀もイルカとも泳げないので、ただ海に浮いてるだけ、船に座ってるだけの写真です。
こちらのツアー絶対にオススメしません。
客が少なくなり、経営厳しいからなのか、こんなに内容と見合っていない高額な金額設定にしているのではないかとさえ思います。違うツアーにすれば良かったと後悔です。
