All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The show featured performances that closely resembled those of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a two-in-one experience as we could also enjoy hula dancing. There was a great sense of unity between the performers and the audience, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Additionally, the meals were luxurious and served in generous portions that were more than enough to eat. Thank you for allowing changes to the standard menu. The welcome experience was also impressive, with hula dancing at the entrance, along with welcome drinks, snacks, and a variety of desserts. It was a very meaningful and fun time. I believe it's a show that you can watch multiple times without getting bored.

エルビスやマイケルジャクソンのショーがそっくりに演出されている上に、フラも見れるという一石二鳥のショー内容でしたが、出演者と観客との一体感もあり、
大変盛り上がって良かったです。また、食事も豪華な上、食べきれない程のボリュームもあり、食事内容も、スタンダードメニューからの変更も可能にしていただきありがとうございました。また、ウェルカム時のおもてなしの入り口でのフラダンスやウェルカムドリンクとスナックやデザートのサイドメニューも充実しており、大変有意義に、楽しく時間を過ごすことが出来て良かったです。何度見ても、飽きないショーだと思います。

The number of participants was too high compared to the size of the cruiser, making it difficult to find a place to sit during the cruise and at lunchtime, forcing us to stand the whole time. Additionally, the safety of snorkeling was entirely left to the individuals, with no supervision. Despite there being dangerous areas with depths over 10 meters, there were no staff monitoring the situation, nor were there any lifeguards available. It’s concerning that an accident could happen at any moment.

クルーザーの大きさに比べて参加人員が多く、クルージングの道中も昼食時も座るスペースが確保できず立ちっぱなし。またシュノーケルの安全面は全て本人任せで放置。水深が10メートル以上の危険箇所があるにもかかわらず、監視するスタッフもいなければ、ライフセーバーの用意もない。これではいつ事故が起きてもおかしくない。

I went with the Royal experience with my husband and 2 year old son. It was the first time Luau as a family. We absolutely loved it!!! The chief was very funny, and the show had a lot of audience engagements when the chief and his crews welcome audience up on the stage for dance and couple anniversaries. Food was very good and of course, the Mai Tai was amazingly tasty! Also, the activities before the show were really fun!!! My 2 year old son loved watching dances especially the last fire dance! He did not blink at all! I would totally recommend to everyone who has not experienced Luau but also to who wants more family oriented Luau experience.

Thank you, Chief and the crews for amazing Luau experience!!!

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.

At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.

Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...

I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.

父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。

最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。

先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…

父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

I was able to go to the Rock-A-Hula Luau green room package. I got to go explore backstage and get a tiny glimpse of how all the action happens. I also got to take a picture with Michael Jackson before the show. The staff and crew members were very kind and made sure that everything was to my liking. I described this show as a Luau like no other because it was a Luau with a twist. All the music were the classics from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the local culture included into the dance routine and into the stage outfits. The show also featured a local girl with a beautiful voice. For those who would like to watch a Luau in cushioned chairs and indoors I would definitely recommend this Luau to you!

I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly in the seats in front of the stage. I appreciated the smooth change to non-alcoholic options for one person who couldn't drink. After the live show, we were also guided to the nearby fireworks that take place every Friday, which added to our enjoyment.

ステージの前の席で十分楽しむことができました。
お酒が飲めない1名に対してノンアルコーへの変更もスムーズで有難かったです。ライブの後、毎週金曜日に行われている近くの花火への案内もしていただき更に楽しむことができました。

I splurged a little and made a reservation for a VIP seat by the stage. First, we took photos with the star (playing the role of Elvis Presley), then enjoyed some snacks while sipping Mai Tais at the VIP welcome reception. We entered our seats next to the stage through the VIP entrance, and started our meal from the menu in the attached photo. The show began around the time we finished eating.

We enjoyed performances by Johnny Fortuno as Elvis Presley, Corey Melton as Michael Jackson, and Siena Sousa (a singer-songwriter based in Honolulu), along with hula dancing by Rock-a-Hula dancers. The highlight was the fire knife dance, and we were thoroughly entertained in the best seats, leaving us very satisfied. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after receiving a 10% discount, I was very pleased with the experience and the content.

少し奮発して、ステージサイドVIP席で予約をしました。
最初にスター（プレスリ役）の人との写真撮影、その後VIPウェルカムレセプションでマイタイを飲みながらおつまみをいただき、VIP専用口からステージ横の席へ、添付写真のメニューの食事開始、食事が終わったころにショーが始まりました。
エルビス・プレスリー by ジョニー・フォーテューノ、マイケル・ジャクソン by コーリー・メルトン、シエナ・スーザ (ホノルルを拠点にするシンガー・ソングライター)による歌とロック・ア・フラダンサーによるフラダンス、圧巻は
ファイアーナイフダンスと盛りだくさんで飽きることなく一番良い席で大満足の鑑賞をすることができました。
最初は少し高い思っていましたが、10%割引きしてもらって、内容もよく大満足でした。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to see an authentic hula dance show, so I booked this VIP course. I was excited as soon as I walked on the red carpet, and the welcome drink followed by dinner at the VIP seats was delightful. The lobster, along with the main steak and salmon, was satisfying in both volume and service. It was also great to be smoothly guided through the VIP entrance.

The show started with a surprise when a man was lowered upside down right in front of us (even though I had heard about it beforehand). The hula and Polynesian dances were of outstanding quality, and I was captivated by the professional performances. The dancers were incredibly sharp! The impersonations of Elvis and Michael were very well done, and the songs were perfectly suited to our generation (in our 60s), allowing us to enjoy the show from start to finish. The fireman show, where they handled flaming torches, left me in awe—how could they hold those?! I was overwhelmed the entire time.

I also purchased a photo taken with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to come back to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

初めてのハワイ旅行で、本場のフラダンスショーを見てみたいと思い、こちらのVIPコースを予約してもらいました。まず通されるレッドカーペットに気持ちが盛り上がり、ウェルカムドリンクからの、VIP席でいただくディナー。ロブスターをはじめ、メインのステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームもサービスも満足いくものでした。VIP用入り口からスムーズに案内していただけたのもよかったです。
ショーは、まず目の前に降りてきた逆さ吊りの男性に驚き（事前に聞いていたのに）、
フラ、ポリネシアンダンスはクオリティが素晴らしく、プロのパフォーマンスに釘付けになりました。ダンサーのみなさんの身体のキレがすごい！ エルビス、マイケルのモノマネも、非常に上手く、また私たちの年代（60代）にがっちり合った曲ばかりで、最初から最後まで楽しめました。 火のついたたいまつを操るファイアーマンショーは、目の前で見ても、何故あれを持てるのか！？ 終始圧倒されました。
マイケルと一緒に撮った写真も購入して、とっても良い思い出になりました。また、ハワイに来る際には観にきたいと思います。

Very interactive - they do a wonderful job of showing you how things were done back then. You get to help cook some foods (I wish we could have eaten) and get a good look at how they lived! Cousin Billy was funny and very informative, even during our ride from Waikiki to Waimea Valley. The food and drinks did not disappoint either! After dinner the entertainment is second to none - they put on one heck of a show!

We booked VIP and loved sitting up close, but there is not a bad seat in the pavilion.

Our only complaint is that the Toa Luau ruined our other Luau. We attended Toa on Monday and then went to Diamond Head Luau on Thursday and it wasn't even close!!!

Thank you Toa Luau for one of our most memorable experiences while in Hawaii!!

The whole crew was great and the variety of activities made this a great value. Snorkeling reef was a lot of fun. Even on a rainy day this is a great trip.

It was really great. There were a lot of dishes, but it was a bit difficult to line up. The show was wonderful.

すごく良くよかったです。料理は沢山ありましが、並ぶのが少し大変でした。ショウは素晴らしいものでした。

I attended Rock-A-Hula for the first time this past week and it was really entertaining! I went with a couple friends and we chose the Green Room Tour. With this package we were sat at a stage-level table so we were closest to the performers. The three course meal included lobster, beef tenderloin, salmon and was completed with a yummy mac-nut pineapple gelato. The cocktails were really good, my favorite was the lychee martini! It was really fun to be able to take photos with Michael Jackson before the show and they also offered us a complimentary glass of champagne. The show was very exciting and entertaining; my favorite performer was the local artist Meliana. All of the dancers, musicians, and singers were very talented and seemed like they all had a ton of fun up on stage. Overall, it was a great night and I would recommend it to anyone on vacation wanting a fun and entertaining night out.

First, before entering the venue, I enjoyed stylish drinks and snacks. I was surprised by the luxurious atmosphere from the start!

During dinner, I was delighted to have dishes like lobster and coconut ice cream that made me feel like I was in Hawaii. At the show, I got to see the hula dance performance I was looking forward to, along with songs from a rock singer. The hula dancers each showcased their unique and captivating styles, which was a lot of fun. The most memorable and exciting part was the songs and dances of Michael Jackson. On the way back, I even got to take a photo with Michael Jackson!

I was very satisfied with the luxurious dinner and show! I highly recommend it if you come to Hawaii!

まず、会場に入る前におしゃれな飲み物とおつまみを楽しめました。初めから豪華でびっくりです！
ディナーでは、ロブスターやココナッツアイスなどが食べられ、ハワイを感じられる料理で嬉しかったです。ショーではお目当てのフラダンスショーに、ロック歌手の歌を聞くことができました。フラダンスでは、ダンサー1人ひとりの個性ある魅力的なダンスを見ることができ楽しかったです。また、一番印象に残り、盛り上がったのはマイケルジャクソンさんの歌とダンスでした。帰りにマイケルジャクソンさんと写真も撮ってもらいました！
豪華なディナーとショーで大満足です！！ハワイに来たらとてもおすすめです！

Since there are good options available, I think it would be better to include the details on the tour page.

The photos and videos were $79. Groups that opted for this option wear special rubber bands, which allows them to receive priority for photos. I was satisfied with the results. However, picking up the USB at the office near DFS the next day was a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could send it to Japan for an additional $15.

The wetsuit was $10. I tend to get hot, but it was a good decision to wear it. The seawater was quite cold.

せっかく良いオプションがあるので、
詳細をツアーページに記載した方がよいと思います。

写真&動画は$79でした。
このオプションを申し込んだグループは専用のゴムバンドを身に着けます。
そうする事で優先的に写真をとってくれます。出来栄えは満足です。
ただ翌日以降にUSBを
DFS付近のオフィスに受け取りにいくのがちょっとめんどう。
+$15で日本に送ってくれるような・・・

ウエットスーツ
$10でした。
暑がりですが着ておいて正解でした。
結構、海水が冷たかったです。

The content of the show was diverse and very enjoyable without being boring.

When you arrive at the reception, you need to obtain a printed paper with a barcode. Just to be safe, I arrived around 16:40, and there were only about two groups ahead of me in the general line. Since you sit in a vertical line, if you arrive late, you might end up behind tall people, making it hard to see, so I recommend arriving early. Those with priority definitely get in before the general admission, so there is quite a wait between entry and the commemorative photo session. Even after being seated, you have to wait for those who arrived later, so it can feel long while holding a drink. With the buffet-style food, you can only go around once, and because there are many people, you will have to wait. I recommend taking a larger portion of food. If you don’t mind waiting, it’s not a problem, but since it’s in a foreign country with English all around, it can feel like you're waiting longer than the time spent watching the show. However, surprisingly, there were no children throwing tantrums, perhaps because they understood it was a special place.

ショーの内容はバラエティ豊かで飽きずにとても良かったです。

受付に到着したら、バーコードが印字された紙の発行が必要です。念のため16：40ごろに到着したら、一般では前には2組ほどしかいなかったです。縦並びに座るので遅くくると背の高い人の後ろになって見にくくなるので、早めがオススメです。一般より上の方が断然優先なので、入場から記念撮影の間がとにかく待ちます。着席しても、今度は後ろに並んでる人から遅めにきた人まで待つのでドリンク片手に長い。1周しか取れないブュッフェスタイルのフードを取るにも、人数が多いだけあって待ちます。フードは多めに取ることをお勧めします。並ぶのは苦じゃない方ですが、異国で英語が飛び交う中なので、ショー見てる時間より長いんじゃないかって感じてしまいます。でも、子供は意外にも特別な場所ということが分かるせいかぐずってる子はいませんでした。

Chief's Luau was such a fun experience. The chief was such a funny person and made me laugh the entire time during the luau. The show was very intriguing, the Chief likes to have the audience take part in the show which made the experience personal. The weather was great the day I went so there was no rain at all which helped make the experience more enjoyable. The food was okay it wasn't something extraordinary but it was still good. My favorite part of the luau was when the chief had a special segment where he recognizes couples on their honeymoon and couples who have been married for a long time. The chief also helped someone propose to his love. He really acknowledges family and makes sure that everyone has a good time while they are at the luau. I would definitely recommend this luau to families and couples. 

I participated at my sister's request to see dolphins!
We had an early departure, so I was very sleepy, but the kind and cool staff, along with the sweet and lovely team, made the time on the boat enjoyable.
We were able to swim with both dolphins and turtles safely!
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you so much.
I am truly grateful to all the staff led by Shota.
If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.
The pineapple we ate together after coming back from the sea and the warm drinks were also very delightful.

イルカに逢いたいという妹の希望で、

海からあがった後の皆で食べたパイナップル、
あたたかい飲み物もとても嬉しかったです。

I was unsure at first, but choosing the VIP course was definitely the right decision. You can get excited right away at the VIP entrance with the red carpet. The dinner was delicious and the portion size was just right; I was almost completely satisfied except for the drinks being a bit weak. In the VIP seats, the cast comes down to the floor, creating a great sense of connection with the stage. You can take photos as long as you don’t use a flash! I thought it was a show that truly represents Hawaii.

迷いましたがVIPコースで大正解でした。レッドカーペットのVIP入場口でまず盛り上がれます。ディナーもおいしく量もちょうどよく、ドリンクが薄いこと以外はほぼ満足でした。ＶＩＰ席はキャストがフロアまで下りてきてくれるので、舞台と一体感がありますよ。フラッシュ無しであれば撮影もＯＫ！ハワイならではのショーだと思いました。

There were also 2 or 3 sea turtles that we could see, and on the sandbar, the staff actively took photos for us.

It was a lot of fun!

ウミガメも２・３頭いて見ることができ、
サンドバーでは積極的にスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれて

とても楽しかったです。

I was considering a show at the Polynesian Cultural Center located in the northeast of Oahu, but I made a reservation for this dinner show at the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is very conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki. The female singer's vocal ability, the impersonator of Michael Elvis, and the dancers' sharp performances provided an emotional entertainment experience from start to finish. The show also featured hula and fire dancing, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. The meal included a lobster appetizer and a double main of salmon steak, which was quite substantial. The service staff were also very pleasant.

オアフ島北東にあるポリネシアカルチャーセンターのショーを検討していましたが、こちらのディナーショーはワイキキの真ん中にあるロイヤルハワイアンセンターというアクセスがとても便利なロケーションなので予約しました。女性シンガーの歌唱力やマイケル・エルビスのそっくりさん、ダンサーたちのキレキレのパフォーマンスで最初から最後まで感動のエンターテイメントでした。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも散りばめられて、ハワイの雰囲気もしっかり味わえました。食事はロブスターの前菜とサーモン・ステーキのダブルメインでボリュームたっぷり。サービススタッフも感じがよかったです。

I had such a good time! The weather was perfect and the instructors were great! I would recommend them again.

Last time, I participated with my husband, and this time we joined as a family of four. Previously, we were taken to a deserted island with a guide, but this time we chose a self-guided course. We carried the kayaks to the beach ourselves (after renting snorkeling gear) and went from Kailua Beach to the deserted island, then to Lanikai Beach (for snorkeling), and back to Kailua Beach. The wind was strong, so the beautiful Lanikai Beach was filled with sand, making visibility zero, and kayaking against the wind was extremely hard. However, the weather was nice and the scenery was great, so it turned out well in the end. There are many Japanese staff members and staff who can speak Japanese, which is very reassuring.

前回は旦那さんと2人で
今回は家族4人で参加しました。
前回は、ガイド付きで無人島まで連れて行って貰いましたが今回はガイド無しのコースで
ビーチまでカヤックを運ぶところから終始自分達で(シュノーケリングのセットを借りて)
カイルアビーチ→無人島→ラニカイビーチ(シュノーケリング)→カイルアビーチ
風が強かったので折角の綺麗なラニカイビーチは砂が舞って視界ゼロ&向かい風でのカヤックは超ハード
でも、天気良し景色良しで結果オーライ
日本人のスタッフさんと日本語を話せるスタッフさんがたくさん居るので色々と安心です

I ordered show tickets only (with a photo option on a backing card) for my 0-year-old child. We entered as soon as the doors opened and first took some photos. After that, we sat in the free seating area, but it's better to arrive early to get a good spot. Since I had a child with me, I planned to change the diaper in the venue's restroom, but there was no changing table, so be careful. I had to go outside to find a restroom on the same floor. This was my second time at the show, and it was fun because the cast seemed to change frequently. This time, there was Presley, Michael, and a female singer from Hawaii?

0歳の子連れでショーチケットのみ（台紙付き写真オプション）を頼みました。開場と同時に中に入り、まずは写真を撮影します。
そのあと自由席で着席するのですが、早めに行く方が良い場所を取れます。
子連れだったのでおむつ替えを会場トイレでしようと思ったのですがおむつ替えの台がないので要注意、一旦外に出て同じフロアのトイレに行きました。
ショーは2回目ですが、キャストが色々変わるみたいで楽しかったです。
今回はプレスリー、マイケル、ハワイ出身の女性歌手？でした。

Elvis Presley is from a different generation, but Michael Jackson really got the crowd going. It was fun with a mix of hula dancing and fire dancing. I chose to attend the show only without the buffet, and that was enough. Although we were told to gather at 7:30, we had to wait a bit until the show started at 8. I think it would have been nice to enter the venue a little earlier than 8.

エルビスプレスリーは世代が違うのですが、マイケルジャクソンは盛り上がりました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも入り混ざってて楽しかったです。
ビュッフェなしショーのみの観覧を選択しましたが、十分でした。7時半集合との事でしたが、8時のショー開始まで少し待たされました。8時まえに会場入りしてもよかったかなと思います。

I arrived a bit early, but the show cast welcomed us with hula, so the waiting time was enjoyable. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, and the Strawberry Daiquiri that others mentioned were incredibly delicious! The first dish, lobster, can be prepared for you by the staff if you ask (laughs). It was quite filling, so I recommend participating with a light lunch. The quality of the dancers was high, and I enjoyed it more than I expected. Since Halloween was approaching, Michael's "Thriller" created the perfect atmosphere, and everyone was taking photos and screaming, which made it a lot of fun! I would love to go see it again if I have the chance.

少し早めに着きましたが、ショーキャストがフラでお出迎えしてくれるので待ち時間も楽しめます。ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイと、他の方のクチコミにもありますがストロベリーダイキリがめちゃウマでした♪
1品目のロブスターも、声をかければスタッフさんがほぐしてくれます(笑)
かなりボリュームがあったので、お昼は軽めで参加されることをオススメします。
ダンサーさん達のクオリティが高く、予想以上に楽しめました。ハロウィンが近かったので、マイケルのスリラーは雰囲気ばっちりでみんな写真撮ったり悲鳴をあげたりで大盛り上がりでした☆機会があればまた観に行きたいと思います。

I went to see it with my mother 25 years ago, and it became a wonderful memory. This time, we decided to go again after a long while. The food was very delicious. The stage performances, with live bands, featured amazing singing and dancing. I was happy to feel like I met the late Michael, and IZ's singing voice was also remarkably similar. Both Elvis and Michael had powerful voices even with their intense dancing, and I thought they were true professionals. There were also hula and Polynesian dances, allowing for a variety of enjoyable elements. This time also became a great memory. The people at the table next to us mentioned it was their second time during this trip. I highly recommend it!

25年前に母と二人で見に行き楽しい思い出になっています。
今回久しぶりに行ってみようと言うことになりました。
お食事はとても美味しかったです。
ステージも生バンドに合わせて歌やダンスが素晴らしかったです。
亡くなったマイケルに会えたようで嬉しかったし、IZの歌声もそっくりでした。
エルビスもマイケルも激しい踊りでもとても声量がありプロだなぁと思いました。フラやポリネシアンダンスもあり色々な要素で楽しめます。
今回もいい思い出になりました。
お隣のテーブルの方はこの旅行中に2回目だと話していました。
おススメです！

This is a lovely oceanfront French restaurant located on the Diamond Head side of Waikiki Beach, just past Kapiolani Park, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. It's perfect for special occasions and dinners with loved ones! This time I went with my husband, but I would like to go with my family of four next time. You can enjoy dinner in a sophisticated atmosphere. I think the prices are very reasonable since they include tips.

ワイキキビーチのダイヤモンドヘッド側、Kapiolaniパークの先というロケーションでワイキキの喧騒から離れたオーシャンフロントの素敵なフレンチレストランです。特別な記念日、大切な人とのディナーに最適です！　今回は主人と２人でしたが今度は家族4人で行きたいと思います。大人の雰囲気でディナーが楽しめます。料金がチップ込みなのでとてもリーズナブルな価格だと思います。

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

I used to go to the Royal Shopping Center every time, but I didn't realize there was a hall. The show combined Hawaii's history and music with performances including impersonations, hula dancing, and fire dancing. The way it was structured, rather than just presenting in order, provided a great understanding of the historical context, and it was very good.

ロイヤルショッピングセンターには毎回行ってましたがホールがある事に気付きませんでしした、ショーの内容はハワイの歴史と音楽を融合された演出でものまねとフラダンス、ファイヤーダンスとただ順番で出てくるのではない組み立ては時代背景もわかりとても良かったです

We did the Alii Luau dinner and standard show package and had such a great time! We were entertained the whole time while we ate and the food was amazing! The Ha: Breath of Life show was very well done and I loved the amount of fire dancers that they had. There are plenty of shops, places to grab food and things to see there to where you can really make a whole day out of it! It was overall a really cool experience.
