All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

“HA Breathe of Life” is the best luau on the island of Oahu. The dinner packages are fantastic you cannot go wrong with either dinner package. Polynesian Cultural Center is a fabulous place to learn about the different cultures that make up Polynesia. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone; you will have a great time.

We had a great time. This is well worth every penny it costs. We saw and learned so many great things. The luau was great, food was delicious. The Breath of Life play was the best I've ever seen, so high energy. If I ever get back to Hawaii again would definately do this again.

A project that allows you to experience a nearby showtime in the heart of Waikiki instantly. While it lacks excitement in terms of singing and dancing, its convenience is commendable. I felt dissatisfied with the dinner options. I would recommend choosing just the show.

ワイキキ中心部での身近なショウタイムを即座に経験出来る企画、内容的には、歌とダンスで面白さと言う点では乏しさも感じるものの、手軽さは評価出来る。ディナーの内容には不満を覚える。ショーのみを選択することもお勧めしたい。

3 Star was really all-time famous.

seat was really tight due to many passangers.

food was not that great. I guess 5 star only would provide great taste.

other that that, the trip was safe, view - great. Thanks.

We decided to see a hula and fire dance show during our first trip to Hawaii as a three-generation family. We researched online and read many reviews to choose which show to attend.

Honestly, regarding the food, it's better not to have high expectations, as others have mentioned; a buffet style usually offers this kind of experience. However, we were very satisfied with the show in terms of content and duration; it was truly a professional performance. The hula danced by the woman in the center and the fire dance by the men exceeded our expectations.

In the city and restaurants in Hawaii, it seemed that nearly 70% of the visitors were Japanese, but I think it was about 20% here. There were a few staff members who spoke Japanese, but since the only conversation needed was for drink orders, there was hardly any need to worry about communication.

３世代家族、初めてのハワイ旅行ということでフラ・ファイヤーダンスを見ることにしました。
インターネットで調べてどこのショーを見るか、書き込みなどを沢山見て決めました。
正直、食事については他の書き込み通りであまり期待をしないほうが良いですが、ビュッフェスタイルだとこんなものだと思います。
ショーについては内容・時間ともに非常に満足できるもので、まさにプロフェッショナルのショーでした。
女性のセンターで踊る方のフラと、男性のファイヤーダンスは期待以上のレベルです。
ハワイの市街地やレストランなどでは７割近くが日本人という割合でしたが、ここでは２割位だったと思います。　日本語の出来るスタッフも何人かいましたが、会話が必要なのはドリンクオーダーくらいなので、会話の不安は殆ど不要です。

I didn't have much time, and since we had a mix of older adults and children, I chose this option. I tried almost all the dishes, and they were all quite delicious. Considering the dance performances, I felt it was a good choice. (My young son started to look a bit bored during the show, but his eyes lit up during the final fire dance. He was amazed and watched intently.)

We drove there, and the parking was located in a building on the right side shortly after entering the premises. I realized that building was the Mid-Pacific Conference Center, and after getting out of the car, I took the nearby elevator straight up to the venue, which was very easy. (When I handed the parking ticket to a person in a light green aloha uniform inside the venue, they processed it through a machine and stamped it for free.)

For the tattoo experience (they were using regular markers), the kids each got hibiscus and honu designs, and my husband got a whale. They all turned out well and really lifted our spirits. If you're interested, I recommend lining up early since it's popular.

We were a group of six, and although there were still empty tables next to the stage, we were seated next to a couple who were already there (behind them). It was a bit disappointing not to be right up against the stage, but I suppose the empty tables were reserved for larger groups, so it couldn't be helped (one table was for ten people, and we ended up sitting with eight—my group of six and the couple).

I was happy to wear the fresh flower lei the whole time, but other members kept asking, "Can I take it off?" and "It's cold," and ended up removing theirs, which felt a bit wasteful (laughs). However, despite using time elsewhere right up until the show started, we were able to enjoy the performance very close to the stage, so I don't regret choosing the premium seats.

Each person received two free drink tickets, but the selection of free drinks was limited (only alcoholic Mai Tai or soft drinks like tropical fruit juice), and since the kids didn't like the juice, everyone ended up not using their tickets and left them unused (there was delicious free water on the table, which we enjoyed). I wish there had been a few more options.

I brought sunglasses as it was suggested, but I didn't need them (in mid-October). As time went on, it got a bit chilly, so I think having a light jacket would be good.

After the show, we exited the venue and were able to take pictures with the dancers in the hallway, which lifted our spirits again (were we being a bit starstruck?). We left feeling great.

時間に余裕があまりなくて年配から子供までの構成だったのでこちらを選びました。
お料理も殆ど全種類取りましたが全て普通に美味しく、ダンス等の内容からも選んで良かったと思います。（小学校低学年の男の子はショーの途中、段々とつまらなさそうにし始めましたが、最後のファイアーダンスで目がパッチリ。すごーい！と、食い入るように見ていました。）

レンタカーで行き、敷地に入って割とすぐ右手にある建物がパーキングだったので入庫、その建物がミッド・パシフィック・コンファレンス・センターだという事に気づき、車を降りてすぐ近くのエレベーターに乗ってそのまま上階へ、とても簡単に会場入りできました。（駐車券は、会場内の薄いグリーンのアロハ制服の人に渡すと、機械にとおして無料のスタンプを押してくれました）

タトゥー体験(普通の油性ペンで描いてましたが）は、子供がそれぞれハイビスカスとホヌ、夫がクジラを書いてもらい、いずれも上手で気分が盛り上がりました。やりたい方は、人気なので早めに並ぶと良いと思います。

席は、当方6名で、まだ舞台脇に空きテーブル席があったのですが、既に着席していた白人のご夫婦の隣(後ろ）に案内され、舞台かぶりつきではなく少々残念でしたが、空テーブルはもっと大人数のグループ用にあけていたのでしょう、仕方なかったかな（1テーブル10名用で、私たちのテーブルは結局8名(白人ご夫婦と当方6名）で座りました）
生花のレイは、私は嬉しくずっとつけていましたが、他のメンバーは「とっていい？」「冷たい」と次々に外してしまい、ちょっともったいない感が(笑)
でも、開演の割とギリギリまで他で時間を使ったにもかかわらず舞台のすぐ近くでショーを楽しめたので、プレミアムシートに後悔はしていません。

飲み物は一人2枚のフリードリンク券がついていましたが、フリーの飲み物の種類が少なく(アルコール・マイタイか、ソフトドリンク・トロピカルフルーツ味ジュースの2種類）子供の好みのジュースではなかった事もあって全員おかわりせず券を余らせ（テーブルに無料の美味しいお水があり、それを頂きました）種類がもう少しあったらなと思いました。

持って行った方が良い物にサングラスと書いてあったので持っていきましたが、必要なかったです(10月中旬）時間が経つと少し肌寒くなってきたので、薄い上着があると良いと思いました。

ショー終了後、会場を出て廊下で踊り手さんと写真が撮れて、また気分が盛り上がり(ミーハー？）気持ち良く帰途につきました。

Too fast - need to slow down and spend more time on each area

This was my second trip to Hawaii, but since my last visit focused on marine sports and shopping, I wanted to do some sightseeing this time! I wanted to experience Hawaiian culture, so I participated in an event that was within walking distance from our hotel.

The show was very enjoyable, and the host, who was from Hawaii, had great energy and really got everyone excited. The singing was excellent! There were many Japanese tourists, but there were also a lot of foreigners, which made it very interesting. I was so captivated that the time flew by, and before I knew it, it was over! The fire dance was very impressive and worth watching! I think this is something unique that you can't see in Japan.

If I could wish for something, I would like the main showtime to be longer. Also, the buffet ended after just one round, so I would have been very satisfied if it had been a style where you could go back for more. I didn't even get to the dessert...

ハワイ旅行は２度目でしたが、前回はマリンスポーツ＆ショッピングが主でしたので今回は観光をしよう！ということで、ハワイの文化に触れたいと思い、私たちの宿泊ﾎﾃﾙからも徒歩圏内でしたので参加しました。
ショーはとても楽しく、進行の方もハワイの方なのでノリも良くとても盛り上がっていました。歌もとっても上手☆日本人の観光客は多いですが、外国の方も多く見ていてとってもおもしろいです。見入ってしまうのであっと言う間に終りが来てしまいました！フ　ァイヤーダンス、とっても迫力あって見甲斐があります！これは日本では見れない外国ならではだと思います。

少し欲を言えば、メインのショータイムの時間がもっと増えたらなと思います。
また、ビュッフェも一回りしたらおしまいでしたので、何度も取りにいけるスタイルだと大満足です。デザートまでたどり着けませんでした。。。

I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!

We chose this place to learn about polynesian culture, place is adorable, great people around, nice dinner and fantastic show at the end of the day. We recommend it.have fun!

The cultural center and night show were awesome. The luau was amazing! Very memorable experience!

This is just a terrific event to attend. The chief and his extended family put on a terrific and funny show designed to entertain all in attendance from couples to families. Many pre-show activities bring you inside the culture of the islands. The food is tasty and plenty of it to enjoy. The staff is very hospitable. Highly recommend.

The overwhelming intensity and loudness that approached my face were amazing; it was an event that passed in the blink of an eye. I was reminded of Elvis's greatness.

顔面に迫るど迫力と大音響のすばらしさ、あっと言う間の出来事でした。エルビスのすばらしさを再認識致しました。

Chief was amazing, interacted with audience throughout the entire show. Show was HIGHLY entertaining. View from Luau was stunning, Dancing was incredibly, singing was awesome. Only downside of entire show was that the food was just okay. Pork was good, pineapple cake was good, everything else was just okay. However I would highly recommend this show even if the food was awful, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

We took the dinner cruise on our first night's stay here in Hawaii! It was the best start to our vacation that we could have had! The food was fabulous and the entertainment was superb! We would highly recommend this dinner cruise to kick off anyone's vacation here in the islands!!

I participated in the VIP course. As expected, it was a very enjoyable experience from the food to the show. The addition of hula made it a truly unique Hawaiian entertainment experience.

VIPのコースで参加しました。評判通り、食事からショーまで　とても楽しい体験でした。フラも加わり、ハワイならではのエンターテイメントに　とても良かったです。

Perfect for all ages!
Chief's Luau was a awesome experience! We had an amazing time. The show is really entertaining, the food is good and the staff is great.
The location is perfect, beautiful views and great pictures.
Everyone enjoyed the night and came back home with great memories.
The Chief is the best part of the night, he put on a great show!

I would recommend this show to everyone!

My husband, myself, and our two children (ages 4 and 2) participated, along with a total of 8 people including my husband's parents and his brother and sister-in-law. Since half of us were first-timers to Hawaii, we considered the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we thought it might be tough for the kids to stay out late watching the final show and then return to the hotel close to midnight. Staying at the Hilton was also a deciding factor.

The PDF for the meeting point indicated that it was the chapel, but currently, we gather directly at the venue. If possible, it would be great to correct this to avoid confusion for those who come later.

Upon arriving at the venue, we were given shell necklaces and fresh flower leis (only for the Golden Circle) to wear, and we took commemorative photos with the dancers. It cost $20, and although it felt a bit large, the photos turned out so well that I wondered if they had been edited (laughs). They even came to show us on an iPad.

Once seated, we were served welcome drinks, including Mai Tais (non-alcoholic options are available). I don't think the alcohol was very strong. The admission ticket included two drink vouchers, and additional orders could be placed for about $12. However, the cocktails felt a bit plain without flowers or fruits, so I was fine with just two. The food was okay, but there seemed to be too many types of meat. The fruits were popular and ran out quickly. The cake was, as expected, very sweet (laughs). Those in the Golden Circle were allowed to line up first to get their servings.

The show was in a much smaller venue than the Cultural Center, which allowed us to see everything up close, and we were very satisfied. During the final fire show, I could really feel the heat when the flames from the dancers' torches passed nearby. Afterward, the dancers were in the hallway and took photos with us. I was surprised to see that many of them were quite short (they seemed taller on stage).

We went on the last day, and since the show ended at 8:30 PM, those with early flights on the day of departure can still do some last-minute shopping in Waikiki! I highly recommend it!

主人、私、子供（4歳と2歳）
主人の両親と主人の弟夫妻の合計8人で参加しました。
半数の4人が初ハワイの為、ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターと
迷いましたが、ポリネシアンは最後のショーまで見るとホテルへ
戻るのが深夜近くになってしまうので子供が可愛そうかな・・・
というのとヒルトンに宿泊している事が決め手になりました。

こちらの集合場所のpdfには集合場所がチャペルとなっていましたが
現在は会場に直接集合なので可能であれば訂正していただけると
後から行かれる方が混乱しないかと思います。

会場へ向かうと貝殻のネックレスと生花のレイ（ゴールデンサークルのみ）
を首から下げてもらいダンサーの方と記念写真を撮りました。20ドルでした
ので購入しましたが（ちょっとサイズが大きいかな？）、写りが良すぎて
修正入ってるのかな？と思った程でした（笑）iPadで見せに来ましたし。

席に通されると、ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイ（ノンアルコールもあります）
が配られます。アルコールはそんなに強くなかったと思います。
入場チケットに2枚ドリンク券がついていて、追加オーダーも出来ますが
12ドル位だったかと。その割には花もフルーツも無い質素な感じ（笑）の
カクテルなので私は2杯で十分でした。食事はまあまあかな？何というか肉の
種類が多すぎるかな。フルーツは人気ですぐ無くなってしまう感じでした。
ケーキは、思った通り激甘でした（笑）
ゴールデンサークルの人から優先的に並んで取りに行ってました。

ショーはカルチャーセンターよりだいぶ小さい会場だったので近くで見れて
大満足でした。最後のファイヤーショーではダンサーの持つタイマツの火が
近くを通る時、熱さをとても感じました。終わってからダンサーの方が廊下に
いて写真を一緒に撮ってくれました。意外と皆さん、身長低い方なんだなと
思いました。（舞台では大きく感じました）

最終日に見に行きましたが,終わった時間が20：30だったので帰国日にフライト
が早くてワイキキに行けない人にも最後の買い物行けますよ！おススメです！

I participated after being recommended by an acquaintance I met before, and it was a lot of fun. Also, there are many places to stop by from Waikiki to here, so if you're going by rental car, you can enjoy a full day.

前に行った知り合いに勧められて参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです。又、ワイキキからここまでは立ち寄る所も多くレンタカーで行かれるなら一日満喫できます。

Since I didn't have much time, I decided to go to a Polynesian show in the city on my last day in Hawaii. The fire show was very impressive, and the hula dancers were all beautiful, which was great.

時間がないので街中でポリネシアンショーと思いハワイ最終日に行かせていただきました。ファイアーショーはとても迫力ありフラは綺麗な方ばかりでよかったですよ。

great luau and very entertaining
for all ages. would come back again

This is my second time participating. The first time was many years ago, so I thought I would join again. I believe the quality was still high and wonderful. It included a VIP dinner, and the food was delicious, which made me very satisfied. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have one more person... or to have been able to watch a little longer.

2回目の参加です。1回目はもう何年も前なので、もう一度参加してみようと思いました。変わらず質は高くすばらしかったと思います。VIPディナー付きでしたが、お料理もおいしくて大変満足しました。欲を言えば、もう1人・・とか、もう少し長く見てたかったです。

The stunning and graceful Hawaiian women performing hula captivated not only me, a man, but surely all the audience members. In particular, that unique hip-swaying dance was both alluring and truly representative of traditional hula. The highlight was the male dancers' fire performances, which are said to be acrobatic. That scene is still vividly etched in my mind; it was that impressive. The next time I visit Hawaii, I definitely want to make sure to see this luau show again.

容姿端麗で、可憐なハワイアン女性のフラダンスに魅了されたのは、男性の私だけでなくすべての観客が感じていたことでしょう。特に、あの独特の腰を振る踊りはなまめかしくもあり、これこそ伝統のフラダンスと言えるでしょう。圧巻は、男性踊りの火を使った曲芸とも言われるもの。いまだにこの光景が脳裡にしっかりと焼き就いています。それだけ印象的だったのです。次回もハワイを訪れた際には、このルアウショウだけは必ず観賞したいと思っています。

Absolutely loved the dinner cruise. It was the height of our vacation! The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was Delicious and the entertainment was superb!! From beginning to end-FABULOUS!!

The Polynesian center is a must see. The Luau was a bit disappointing in terms of the food selection and quantity. The evening show however was Outstanding!! I would recommend make this an all day event so as to explore the entire center.

I participated as a VIP, and I highly recommend the VIP course for this tour. The show while enjoying wine was quite impressive. I will recommend it to my friends.

VIPで参加しました、このツアーはVIPコースがおすすめですね、ワインを飲みながらのショーはなかなかの迫力でした。
友達にもすすめます。

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

wonderful tour had the greatest guide was able to see everything and had alot of good laughs was well worth having a tour guide

The seat in the very front and center was great. The tribute artist's live performance was very enjoyable. I wish I could have seen some artists from the 60s. I would have liked to see more variety of artists.

一番前の真ん中の良い席で、大変良かったです。そっくりさんのライブとても楽しかったです。60年代のアーチストも見たかったかな？いろいろなアーチストをもっとやってほしかったです。
