All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The opening is at 17:15 and it's first come, first served, but the actual opening is at 17:30, and you will be guided to your seats while taking photos, which makes it extremely late. Additionally, you will be split into two groups for seating, so just lining up early doesn’t guarantee good seats. The meal is a typical buffet style, but if you don’t grab everything in one round, they start clearing it away quickly. It’s tough, but I recommend taking two plates to get your food. Just when I thought the show was getting exciting, it ended nearly an hour earlier than expected. (It was supposed to end around 20:15, but it actually ended at 19:20.) It was so bad that I requested a refund, but I was told it was not eligible. The staff at Veltra were very sincere in their response, but the event itself was the worst.
The following note seems to be the basis for this:
By the way, the weather on the day was clear, and there were no traffic jams, yet we experienced the issues mentioned above. I strongly recommend going to see a different show.

開場が17:15かつ早いもの順と言っていますが、17:30に開場、写真を撮りながら席へ案内されるためめちゃくちゃ遅くなります。また、途中から二手に分かれて座席へ案内されるようになるため早く並んでいたから良い席になるわけではありません。食事は良くあるビュッフェスタイルですが、1周で取りきらないとあっという間に片付けが始まります。大変ですけどお皿を2枚もって料理を取ることをお勧めします。ショーが始まって盛り上がってきたと思ったら想定よりも1時間近く早く終了しました。（20:15ごろ終了とのことでしたが、実際は19:20でした）あまりにひどいので返金対応を求めましたが、対象外との返事でした。
ベルトラの方には誠心誠意対応していただきましたが、催事自体は最悪です。
以下の注意書きが根拠だそうです。
ちなみに当日の天候は晴れ、交通渋滞などはないにもかかわらず、
上記のようなことになります。
別のショーを見に行くことを強くお勧めします。

I enjoyed freshly made malasadas, was taken to breathtaking viewpoints, and visited a nut farm and fruit stands. The garlic shrimp for lunch was quite filling, but it was very delicious. The tour guide was a foreigner, but they spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it fully.

出来立てのマラサダを食べたり、絶景ポイントに連れて行ってくれたり、ナッツファームや果物の販売所に行きました。お昼ご飯のガーリックシュリンプは結構ボリューミーでしたが、味はとってもおいしかったです。ツアーガイドは外国の方でしたが、日本語も話せるので充分楽しめました。

You will be watching the fireworks in the same area as those who are not participating in the luau. Additionally, people who are not participating can also view the show from outside. The dining time is short, and I couldn't even finish three drinks. Even though there were still tickets available, they abruptly closed the event. At this price, I think it would be much better to go to another restaurant.

花火はルアウに参加していない人と同じエリアで見ることになります。
また、ショーも参加してない人も外から見れます。
食事の時間も短く、ドリンク3杯も使いきれません。まだチケットが余ってるのにもう終了と無理矢理締め切られました。
この金額であれば他のレストランに行った方がよっぽど良いと思います。

I had a question about whether there would be rock in the hula show, but I thought the show was wonderful. Especially for my wife, who is an Elvis fan, it seemed to be particularly enjoyable. Thank you.

フラのショーにロックが？　という疑問がありましたが、ショーは、素晴らしかったと思います。　特に、エルビスファンの家内には、格別に楽しめたようです。
ありがとう。

This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...

We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.

The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.

I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.

The buffet had a wide variety of options, which was great.
I was glad to be able to watch the hula dance show for a full hour.
I thought it was very unique, especially when the host invited guests to come up on stage or dance from their seats, which is something you don't see everywhere.

ビュッフェは種類が豊富でよかったです。
フラダンスのショーを1時間しっかり見れてよかったです。
司会の人の呼び込みで、お客さんがステージに上がったり、自席で立って踊ったりしていたのは海外ならではだと思いました。

I will definitely go when I visit Hawaii. I wanted to see Nathan's live performance, but unfortunately, he is currently on tour in Japan. However, I had a very enjoyable and delicious time. I couldn't help but have a cocktail as well.

ハワイへ行ったら必ず行きますっ。
ネーサンのライブが観たかったのてすが、残念ながら、日本へ公演中。
でも、とても楽しい、美味しい時間がすごせました。思わず、カクテルもいただきました。

I was truly captivated by the opportunity to see hula up close in Hawaii. Since it was a memorial year, I was also able to celebrate that. It was fun to go on stage and experience hula. The food was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

ハワイのフラを間近にみることができて本当に見惚れてしまいました
メモリアルイヤーだったので
そのお祝いもしていただいたり
ステージに上がりフラ体験をさせていただいて楽しかったです
お料理も美味しくて
大満足です

Great time Luau with all the fun, food, and Entertainment you need. The price is a little high, but well worth it for a great evening. Not out of line with other high end complete evenings with food, and entertainment like dinner and shows, or a concert, or a sporting event.

I enjoyed a buffet at the hotel where I could eat seafood and various dishes until I was full. I was able to see the hula show from the front row. The authentic hula show was wonderful, and I would love to see it again. The hula show was lovely while listening to the sound of the waves in Waikiki.

ホテルのビュッフェで、シーフードや、色々な料理も食べれてお腹いっぱいになりました。
その後のフラショーは、最前列で見れました。
本場のフラショーは、素敵でした。
また見たいです。
ワイキキの波の音を聞きながら、フラショーは素敵でした。

the staff are so nice and helpful,the views are beautiful

hot on the first hour of the ship. but the rest of the night was fabulous.

The show was very fulfilling, and the hour flew by with various dances. The live band performance and singing were also wonderful, allowing us to fully enjoy Hawaii.

ショーはとても充実した内容で、数々のダンスであっという間の1時間でした。生バンドの演奏や歌も素晴らしく、ハワイを堪能できました。

I made a reservation for 5:30 PM.
We enjoyed a leisurely dinner while chatting, and we were able to fully appreciate the sunset, which was perfectly timed.
The sunset was incredibly beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding.
I mentioned during the online reservation that it was for a birthday celebration, and when we arrived at the restaurant, they asked which one of us was the birthday person. When I said it was both of us, they surprised us by serving chocolate mousse for everyone at dessert time!
It was such a wonderful place that I definitely want to visit again.

17時半に予約しました。
ゆっくりお喋りしながらディナーして、サンセットもゆっくり堪能できて時間もちょうどよかったです。
サンセットも綺麗すぎるし、お料理もおいしくて、サービスも最高によかったです。
ウェブ予約の時に誕生日祝いの利用と入力したのですが、お店の受付でどっちが誕生日なの？と聞かれ、2人ともだよと伝えるとデザート提供のタイミングで写真ノチョコムースを人数分、サプライズでサービスしてくださいました！
また絶対再訪したいと思える素敵なお店でした。

The cruise was quite good with beautiful seas and a refreshing breeze. The movie location tour had some artificially created spots, but the scenery was nice. The English guide told jokes, but I was disappointed that I couldn't understand them due to my listening skills.

クルーズが、綺麗な海と爽やかな風でかなり良かった。映画ロケ地ツアーは人工的に作られてるところもあったけれど、景色が良かった。英語ガイドがジョークを言うのだけど、リスニング力が無く残念だった。

I thought the cost performance isn't good unless you're by the sea. When I entered, I was asked if it was a special occasion, and I regret not saying yes, as I might have had a chance to sit by the sea. The food was disappointing, neither good nor bad. The escargot was delicious.

海沿じゃないとコスパはよくないと思いました。
入店の際に記念日ですか？
と問われ、違いますと答えなければワンチャン海沿いに座れたのかと後悔してます。
料理も可もなく不可もない感じで残念でした。
エスカルゴは美味しかったです。

Crew was great, food was good, would recommend to all

I loved the movie filmed here and made a reservation. The scale was grand, and I was able to experience something extraordinary!

However, while other guides were taking pictures with dinosaur plush toys in the drop-off area, our guide stayed in the car. I think it would be a better tour if you could ensure a more equal quality of guides.

こちらで撮影された映画が大好きで予約をしました。
スケールが壮大で非日常を味わうことができました！

ただ、降車エリアで他のガイドさんは恐竜のぬいぐるみを持って撮影してくれていたのに、私たちのガイドは車に乗ったままでした。
ガイドの質平等を頼んでいただけたらもっといいツアーになると思います。

We went to the Polynesian show at WDW years ago and this one blew it out of the water. Fantastic family atmosphere.

It's an impersonation, but the music is good, so I enjoyed seeing it live. I think it's great for those who can no longer enjoy a regular luau show.

物まねですが、楽曲がいいので実際に生で見ると楽しめました。
普通のルアウショーが楽しめなくなった人にいいと思います。

This was my second visit. I was guided to an outdoor seat, but when I requested to change to an indoor seat, I was taken to the second floor, which had a nice atmosphere, and we started our meal. The food was delicious. However, about 30 minutes in, a group of around eight people who completely disregarded the surrounding environment sat nearby. Their loud, almost shrill laughter and vulgar tone ruined the atmosphere. It seemed that most of them had been living in Hawaii for a long time, engaging in noisy conversations in Japanese. They had no manners, and I felt that it lowered the establishment's dignity and reputation. Since I was traveling, I chose not to say anything, and I understand that the restaurant cannot choose its customers, but it would have been nice if they had some measures in place to maintain the restaurant's standards. It was a shame to have such a wonderful dinner ruined. It was disappointing, especially since the food was so good.

２度目の往訪。屋外の席に案内されたが、室内に変更を希望すると２階席に案内され、雰囲気もよく、会食を開始。料理はおいしかったです。ところが、開始３０分後、周囲への迷惑を全く気にしない集団８名ほどが近くの席に。特に女性陣のけたたましい、奇声に近い笑い声、下品な口調で雰囲気は台無しに。ハワイに長く住んでいる方々が大半の様で、日本語でのうるさい会話。マナーも無く、お店にとっても品格が下がり、品位が疑われるのではと思われました。旅行中なので敢えて注意しませんでしたし、お店も客は選べないのでしょうが、お店の格を守るためにも注意が合っても良かったのでは。せっかくのディナーは台無しに。美味しかっただけに残念です。

I had a wonderful night in Hawaii♡ It started while it was still bright in the evening, and I enjoyed the transition of the sky from dusk to night♪

とても素晴らしいHawaiiの夜を過ごす事ができました♡夕方明るいうちから始まり､夕暮れから夜になる空の移り変わりも楽しめました♪

I was worried about the meal because I didn't have a great experience at a previous event, but everything was very delicious. The pineapple and the lomi lomi before the meal were especially fantastic.
I arrived early, and before the buffet started, each group was treated to a live performance of a ukulele chorus. I recommend arriving early.
The show focused on Elvis and Michael, and I think adults will really enjoy it.
It might be a bit difficult for those from generations that aren't very familiar with Elvis and Michael.
After the show, there was time to take photos with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

お食事は、以前別のイベントであまりいい思い出がなかったので、心配していましたが、どれもとてもおいしくいただきました。特に食前のパイナップルやロミロミが最高でした。
早めに到着しましたが、ビュッフェが始まる前に１組ずつウクレレのワンコーラスの生演奏をしていただきました。早めに行くことをお勧めします。
ショーはエルビスとマイケル中心で、大人の方々は大変楽しめると思います。
あまりエルビスと、マイケルになじみのない世代には少し難しいかもしれません。。
ショーの後は、演者の方々と写真を撮る時間もあり、いい記念になりました。

The sandbar was not a beach but a shallow area that was about knee-deep. However, since I checked the tide data in advance, I was able to enjoy it quite a bit. Everyone had fun playing beach volleyball and practicing snorkeling.

The hamburgers for lunch were incredibly delicious. I was also amazed by the number of sea turtles we saw.

The final snorkeling experience was wonderful, with clear water and lots of tropical fish. Even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, it was enjoyable.

All the crew members were fantastic, always keeping us entertained and paying close attention to safety, for which I am very grateful.

サンドバーは砂浜ではなく膝下くらいまで浸かる浅瀬でしたが、それは事前に干潮満潮データを見て行っていたので、それはそれなりに楽しめました。みんなビーチバレーやシュノーケルの練習を行い楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーもめちゃくちゃ美味しくいただきました。
ウミガメウォッチもめちゃくちゃいて驚きました。
最後のシュノーケルは水中がきれいで熱帯魚達がたくさんいました。泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。
クルーの方々全員素晴らしい方で常に楽しませていただき、安全にも十分気を配っていただき感謝です。

I was expecting the sandbar to be on the beach, but the water level was higher than I thought. However, the water was clear. The staff were very friendly and took photos for us.

We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, which was amazing.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious.

The snorkeling wasn't great at first because the water clarity wasn't very good, making it hard to find fish, but by the time I got used to it, I was able to see plenty of tropical fish.

After snorkeling, there were warm drinks available, and I enjoyed some cocoa.

Above all, the staff were fantastic, and I had a great time. Thank you!

サンドバーは砂浜の上に立てるのを期待していたが思っていたより水位があった。でも水は綺麗だった。スタッフの人もいろいろと声をかけてくれて写真も撮ってくれた。
マンタも海亀も見ることが出来て最高。

ランチのハンバーガーが美味しかった。

シュノーケリングは海の透明度があまり良くなく最初は魚を探すのが大変だったけれど、慣れた頃には熱帯魚をいっぱい見られました。

シュノーケリング終了後は温かい飲み物の用意が有りココアでほっこり。

なんといってもスタッフの皆様が最高でとても楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

The singing and hula dancing by the host, as well as the fire show, were all authentic, impressive, and wonderful! The food was delicious as well.

The show ended just in time for the fireworks, making for a fun night.

Next time, I would like to bring my children along.

司会の方の歌やフラダンス、ファイヤーショーもみんな本格的で迫力があり素敵でした！
またお食事もみんな美味しかったです。

花火の時間に丁度間に合うようにショーが終わり楽しい夜でした。

また次回は子供を連れて参加したいです。

The show was wonderfully structured, and even though they were impersonators, it was truly impressive for an American business. The flow of the tempo was good, and at the end, the performers were easy to talk to and took photos with us, creating great memories. If I had to mention a downside, the buffet-style meal didn't meet my expectations, and there were very few Japanese guests who went back for seconds.

素晴らしいショウの構成で，そっくりさんと言えど流石にアメリカの商ビジネスですね。テンポの流れも良く最後に出演者との歓談や写真撮影も気軽に応じてくれて良い想い出が作れました。難をいうならブッフェスタイルの食事の内容が期待していた程では無くて日本人の人達は殆どお代わりする人は少なかったです。

It was my first cruise experience. I was worried about seasickness, but the duration was short, and it was not a problem at all. The sandbar was a bit shallow due to timing, but I enjoyed snorkeling and turtle watching. The staff's hospitality was great, and the BBQ hamburgers on board were especially delicious. Thank you very much.

初めてのクルーズ体験でした。船酔いを心配していましたが、時間も短く全く問題ありませんでした。サンドバーはタイミングもあるので、浅瀬という感じでしたが、シュノーケルやウミガメウオッチなど楽しめました。スタッフさんたちのもてなしも感じが良く、中でも船上BBQハンバーガーはとても美味しかったです。有難うございました。

The lobster for dinner was thick and tasted just like Japanese crab, it was truly delicious! The final jazz live performance was also moving. It was a great experience to overlook Waikiki and see the fireworks, I'm glad I participated!

ディナーのロブスターが肉厚で味が日本のカニのようで本当に美味しかったです！
最後のジャズライブにもじーんとしました。
ワイキキを一望して花火が見られたのもいい経験で、参加してよかったです！
