The luau in Ko Olina was amazing. We have 3-1/2 & 1-1/2 year old girls and even they loved the show especially the fire at the end. We sat in the VIP area and would recommend attending!

My friend and I decided to check this out as we were looking for something to do for the night. I have been to many Luau's before so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I turned out to be very wrong. the Chief was extremely funny throughout the whole night and he was also very interactive with the crowd. They had some fun activities before the Luau as well so that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night with great people! Hands down the best Luau I have done.

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.
As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

I've seen various shows before, but this one seems to be aimed at first-timers. Since the duration is shorter, I think it's good for entertaining guests.
Being at the Hilton, you can get there by trolley or on foot, but as others have mentioned, the reception area is really hard to find. It was good that I arrived early and could get into the venue quickly.
Since I arrived too early, I think I got quite sunburned from the strong sunlight. Just when I thought the sun was going down, it started to rain heavily, and the hotel staff were handing out towels. It would be nice to have some kind of roof to shield from the rain (like a plant-covered roof).
今まで色々なショーを見てきましたが、こちらは初めての人向きですね。
時間が短めなので、接待にはいいと思います。
ヒルトンなので、トロリーでも歩いてでもいけますが、他の方が書いている通り、受付の場所がすごくわかりずらいです。
早めに行って、早めに会場に入れたので良かったですが。
早く入りすぎたため、日差しが強く相当焼けたと思います。
日が陰ってきたと思ったら、今度は雨が本格的に降ってきて、ホテルの方がタオルを配っていました。
多少なりとも雨が防げる屋根があるといいですね。(植物の屋根とか)

First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.
It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

We used this place for a meal with both families after the ceremony. On that day, the waves happened to be high, and since it was a buffet style, it was difficult for family members to go get food due to seasickness.
Since it’s not a large ship, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness. Other than that, I think it’s a tour where you can participate with peace of mind without worrying about language!
挙式後の両家合わせての食事の際に利用させて頂きました。
当日はたまたま波が高く、ビュッフェスタイルの為家族が船酔いしてしまい食事を取りに行く事が難しかったです。
大型船ではないので、船酔いをする方には向いていないかもしれません。
それ以外は言葉の心配もなく、安心して参加できるツアーかと思います!

Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

Eccellente! Lovely dining atmosphere, superb food presentation and attentive wait staff.
Couple of my friends and I ordered the Bolognese Alla "Siciliana" and the Frutti Di Mare entrees, both dishes were really good. Bolognese is what you would want to order if your not familiar with ordering Italian food. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk from my hotel (stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel) so it was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone back at home on the East coast!

My friend and I wanted to go to a luau, but didn't have much time, so this one located right in Waikiki was perfect! As we sat down, they came around with the complimentary Mai Tai (yummy!) and there was entertainment and live music as we relaxed.
The buffet was great, there was an assortment of food for everyone's tastes and my plate was huge by the time I got back to my table! The show was very entertaining and the fire knife dance at the end took our breaths away! You could feel the heat of the fire from the table. What a great way to end our day.

When I visited last time, I couldn't do stand-up paddleboarding due to the wave height (so I went kayaking instead), so I came back again. Mieko, who is Japanese, and Mark, who speaks Japanese well, were very kind and taught us patiently, so both my friend and I were able to stand up from the very beginning. We landed on the island, and it was really fun! When I mentioned that I wanted to explore Kailua more on the way back, they arranged for cycling and even had an employee who was going to Waikiki drop us off... they took care of everything. There are other places where you can do stand-up paddleboarding, but I really recommend this one. I look forward to visiting again next time.
前回行った時に、波の高さでスタンドアップパドルが出来なかったので(その時はカヤックをしました)再度お伺いしました。日本人のミエコさん、日本語の上手なマークさんはとても親切で、丁寧に教えて頂いたので、友人も私も最初から立つ事が出来ました。島まで上陸、本当に楽しかったです!また帰りももっとカイルアを散策したいと伝えたところ、サイクリングの手配やちょうどワイキキに行く従業員の方が送ってくださる様に話して頂いたり・・・何から何までお世話になりました。スタンドアップパドルが出来るところは他にもありますが、こちらは本当におすすめです。次回もまた宜しくお願いします。

I was really looking forward to this, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing tour given my expectations. Since we traveled by large bus, even with a 7 AM meeting time, we wasted an hour picking up people in Waikiki (which happens with other tours as well). After arriving, we landed on a narrow sandbar packed with people on two cruisers. Snorkeling felt like a chaotic trial start, bumping into each other while trying to peek into the water. I think the actual time spent on the sandbar and snorkeling was about 30 minutes total. It was just so rushed. Since it’s such a special place, I wish the tour had fewer participants.
とても楽しみにしていたのですが、期待してた分、残念なツアーでした。大型バスで行くため、7時に集合でも1時間はワイキキピックアップで時間が潰れ(これは他でもありますが)、到着後、2台のクルーザーで細いサンドバーにぎゅうぎゅうに上陸笑。シュノーケルも一列でトライアルロンのスタートの様にぶつかりながら軽く海の中をのぞく感じ。実際のサンドバーとシュノーケルは足して30分程度だった気がします。とにかく慌ただしいです。せっかくの特別な場所なので、もっと人数を減らしたツアーだったら良かったなと思いました。

I got quite lost trying to find the venue within the Hilton, which is quite large, and I didn't know where the elevator to the venue was. After showing my ticket at the entrance, I received a shell necklace and was guided to my seat after taking a commemorative photo with the dancers (of course, the photo was paid). It seemed that the seating location (either in front of or behind the stage) was determined by the color of the ticket. I could enjoy up to two free drinks. The dinner was served buffet-style, with plenty of options that Japanese people could eat. Many of the local dancers had a great sense of humor and were fun, posing for the camera when I pointed it at them. During the show, a strong dancer suddenly called me over and took me to the center stage, where I was asked to blow a conch shell as a representative of the Japanese audience. I was confused but managed to do it, which was good. After that, I was taken to the stage again by a female dancer, and we danced together, shaking our hips vigorously. It felt like I was being targeted for some reason. I had a truly valuable experience and was very satisfied. I think participating in such unique Hawaiian events is a lot of fun.
ヒルトン内でもかなり広くてショーが行われる会場がどこか分からずかなり迷いました。会場に上がるエレベーターの場所が分からなかったです。入口でチケットを見せてから貝の首飾りをもらい、ダンサーと記念撮影(もちろん写真は有料)を終えた後に席に案内されました。チケットの色で席の場所(ステージの前か後)が決められているようでした。飲み物は2杯まで無料で飲めました。夕食はビュッフェ形式で日本人でも食べれるものばかり用意されていました。現地のダンサーの方はユーモアがありおもしろい人が多く、カメラを向けるとポーズをとってくれたりして楽しかったです。ショーの途中でいきなり屈強なダンサーにこっちに来いと言われ、中央の舞台に連れて行かれ日本人代表として客の前でホラ貝を吹けと言われ困惑しましたがなんとか吹くことができ良かったです。その後また女性のダンサーに舞台に連れて行かれて、一緒に腰を激しく振って踊りました。私はなぜか狙われていたかのようでした。かなり貴重な体験をして大変満足しました。このようなハワイ独特なイベントは参加すると楽しいと思います。

I read the reviews in advance and reserved the premium seats with less waiting time. On the day of the event, there were fewer participants, so it wasn't much different from the general seating. Since it was a round table, some people couldn't see the stage. The food was "meh," but the show was wonderful. Since it takes place in the courtyard of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, it was a valuable experience considering the location.
事前に投稿を読んで、待ち時間が少ないプレミア席を予約しました。当日は参加人数が少なかったのか、あまり一般席と変わりなかったです。円卓のテーブル席なのでステージを見れない方がいました。

It was a lot of fun. If you're attending the cocktail show, make sure to arrive early and line up; otherwise, you might have to wait for the drink tickets and beverage exchange.

Thanks for your feedback. We definitely understand that our reef is hard coral- so not the soft fanning coral you get in warm waters, but we strive to do a great job showcasing what we do have to offer on Oahu. One of the sites is Oahu's second largest living reef, though due to weather/water conditions we can't always go there. Perhaps next time you can join us on our other tour- the Dolphin Snorkel Tour- which offers THREE snorkel sites (not two that the Sail offers) including a chance to snorkel view dolphins in the wild. It sounds like you are seeking more adventure and that is what that tour offers. Adventure! We hope to see you again. Thank you!
