All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

We went with a couple in their 30s and 20s, along with four children aged 1 and 2! I didn't have high expectations because the price was low compared to other hula shows, but it pleasantly surprised me.

The entertainment was a mix of various genres, including rock and roll, Hawaiian music, and hula dancing! What stood out the most was the show featuring Michael Jackson, which I know well. His classic songs were performed live by a band, and there was also a collaboration with dance footage of Michael himself, which got everyone in the audience excited. However, during Michael's "Thriller," the children started crying, so families with kids might want to sit further back, haha. There was also an Elvis Presley show, but since I wasn't very familiar with that artist, I wished I had studied more about him.

The hula dance show was also a highlight. They showcased hula dancing, an essential part of Hawaiian culture, with energetic performances that made us feel vibrant. The fire dance, in particular, was an impressive performance!!

The performance lasted about an hour, which was a manageable time for the kids, and since it was right in the heart of Waikiki, the access was great. I think it's a very easy-going hula show to participate in. I definitely want to go again next time!

30代と20代の夫妻、そして1歳児、2歳児の子どもたち4名で行ってきました！
他のフラショーと異なり、金額が安いため、そこまで期待していなかったのですが、良い意味でそれは裏切られました。

ロックンロールやハワイアンミュージック、フラダンスなど、様々なジャンルが織り交ぜられたエンターテインメントでした！特に印象に残ったのは、私もよく知っているマイケル・ジャクソンのショーでした。生演奏のバンドと共にマイケルの名曲が演奏され、その後にはマイケル本人のダンス映像とのコラボレーションもあり、会場全員ノリノリになっていました。
ただ、マイケルのスリラーで、子どもたちが泣き出してしまったので、子連れ家族は後ろの座席のほうがいいかもしれません笑
また、エルビスプレスリーのショーもあったのですが、こちらは私があまりその歌手を知らなかったので、もっと勉強しておけばよかったと思いました。

フラダンスのショーも見どころのひとつでした。ハワイアンカルチャーに欠かせないフラダンスを、エネルギッシュな演出と共に披露しているため、見ているこちらも華やかな気持ちになりました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻のパフォーマンスでした！！

パフォーマンスの時間も1時間程度と時間拘束も少なく、子どもたちも飽きず、かつ、ワイキキど真ん中の会場のためアクセスも良くて、非常に気軽に参加できるフラショーだと思います。ぜひ次も行きます！

The staff and crew were amazing as well as the foood. The entertainment

The food was good, the entertainment and the sunset view was incredible!

I watched it on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii.
You can listen to music from famous people in America who have connections to Hawaii.
It's very well done and interesting, with performances that you wouldn't see in Japan, so I think it's worth a look.
However, the music being played is somewhat dated, so if you're in your 30s, it might lack excitement.
I was able to watch it until the end, but my companion, since it was the first day of our arrival, slept through the whole thing from start to finish! (laughs)

ハワイ到着初日に視聴。
アメリカで有名な人の音楽でかつハワイに縁のある人の音楽が聴けます。
とても、上手で面白く、日本ではみないような演出をしてくださるので、一見の価値はあるかと思います。
ただ、流れてくる音楽の世代がいささか古いので、30代前後だと面白味に欠ける可能性はあるかもしれません。
僕は最後までしっかり見れましたが、連れは到着初日ということもあり最初から最後までずっと寝てました笑

I signed up without meals. It was enjoyable enough. The fire show was particularly impressive. I was surprised to see a hula dancer with a big belly.

食事なしに申し込みました。それなりに楽しめます。ファイアショーが特に迫力があってよかったです。フラのダンサーにおなかが大きい人がいて
びっくりしました。

I participated in this tour in early February 2023. One of the things I wanted to do in winter Hawaii was whale watching, and since my hotel was Aulani, I joined this tour departing from Ko Olina Marina.

It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Aulani to Ko Olina Marina, and about 5 minutes by car. The tour included four alcoholic drinks, so I walked there instead of driving, but I was a bit tired on the way back (^_^;).

Upon arriving at the marina, the check-in area was easy to find. I signed in on the list, received a wristband, used the restroom, and boarded the boat. There were about 15 to 20 guests at that time, but we were the only Japanese group. All the explanations were in English, but a young Japanese male staff member came later to explain in Japanese, and he also supported us during snorkeling, which was very helpful!

After the boat headed out to sea, we encountered a mother and baby whale! I was incredibly excited to see the whales spouting water and their tails coming up to the surface with my own eyes! Since it was an evening tour, we didn’t see any dolphins, but I was very satisfied to have encountered the whales.

After that, we went to the snorkeling point and enjoyed snorkeling. During this time, we encountered a sea turtle. I was moved to see it coming up from the bottom of the ocean for air, floating on the surface, and then returning to the ocean floor, all from a very close distance! The water was a bit cold during this season, but I was glad I participated in snorkeling! After snorkeling, it was chilly, so I changed from my swimsuit to regular clothes in the boat's restroom. The restroom was a bit spacious with shelves, making it suitable for changing. There were two restrooms, one on each side at the back.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed dinner and the sunset. The dinner was served on a single plate, but it was piled high, so I was full! The taste was also delicious. The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful.

I think this is a highly recommended activity for those staying around Ko Olina!

2023年2月上旬に参加しました。
冬のハワイでやりたい事がホェールウォッチングで、宿泊ホテルがアウラニだったのでコオリナマリーナから出発するこちらのツアーに参加しました。

アウラニからコオリナマリーナまでは歩いて片道25分くらい、車だと片道5分くらいです。ツアーにアルコールが4本かな？含まれていたので車は使わずに歩いて行きましたが帰りはちょっと疲れました(^_^;)

マリーナに到着して受付の場所はわかりやすかったです。名簿に記帳してリストバンドを付けて、御手洗を済ませてボートに乗り込みます。
この時は15名？20名？？くらいお客さんが居ましたが日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。
色々な説明は全て英語でしたが、若い日本人男性のスタッフさんがあとから日本語で説明しに来てくださって、その後のシュノーケルもサポートしてもらえたのでとても助かりました！

ボートが沖に出て少しするとクジラの親子に遭遇出来ました！肉眼でクジラの潮吹きや海面の上に出てきた尾びれを見られてものすごく興奮しました！夕方のツアーなので時間的にイルカは見られませんでしたがクジラに遭遇出来たので大満足でした。

その後シュノーケルポイントに行って、シュノーケルを楽しみました。この時に海亀に遭遇出来ました。海の底から息をにし浮上してくる様子や海面をぷかぷかしている様子、また海の底に帰って行く様子を近づくことが出来るギリギリの距離で見られて感動しました！
この時期の海はちょっと寒かったですが、でもシュノーケル参加して良かったです！
シュノーケルの後は寒かったのでボートのおトイレで水着から私服に着替えました。おトイレは少しだけ広めで棚とかがあったので着替えスペースも兼ねている感じでした。おトイレは後方左右に1つずつ計2つありました。

シュノーケルが終わるとディナーとサンセットを楽しみます。ディナーはワンプレートですがモリモリに盛ってもらえたのでお腹いっぱいになりました！味も美味しかったです。ボートからのサンセットもすごく素敵でした。

コオリナ周辺で宿泊されている方にはとてもおすすめのアクティビティだと思います～。

Better than expected, would definitely attend again. Good family entertainment.

It was a fun experience at night in Waikiki. You can participate without a mask. After ordering a Blue Hawaii at the bar counter, I was able to enjoy the show.

The distance between the audience and the dancers was just right.

Men swam down from the ceiling, and there were performances featuring Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and hula, all packed into one exciting show. Time flew by as the energy continued to build.

At the end, there was a great bonus where you could take photos with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

ワイキキの夜の楽しい体験です。マスクなしで参加出来ます。バーカウンターでブルーハワイをオーダーしてから観劇出来ました。

観客とダンサー達の距離感がちょうど良く

天井から男性が泳いできたり
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソン　ファイヤーダンスにフラとてんこ盛り。盛り上がり続けてあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。

最後はエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンとお写真が撮れるという大サービスもありました。

We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time

We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. The cruise was wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment.

Check in was simple and organized.

I was able to get my parking validated by purchasing coffee at a shop before checking in.

We saw a whale in the distance while on this cruise.

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.

参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。

We came to Waikiki for our honeymoon. Since my wife wanted to see a Hawaiian show, we decided to book this experience. The welcome, dinner, hula practice during dinner, and hula show were all exactly as we imagined and were fantastic.

During the meal, there was a couple next to us who came from Los Angeles. The atmosphere was so good that we were able to get to know them well. Additionally, we were able to see shows featuring performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which was very enjoyable.

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.

After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.

Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.

何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか？と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。

This time, I watched a show as part of a limited number of monitors. I attended with my spouse, and I noticed a few other Japanese people in the audience. The seats were in one of the last four rows, and since it was open seating, we were able to sit almost in the middle.

■ Show Structure
It featured Hawaiian songs, popular past hits like those of Michael Jackson, and fire dancing.

■ Impressions
You can hear live performances of songs by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. As others have mentioned, it would be unfair to call it mere impersonation, as the performers have outstanding vocal abilities. I wasn't familiar with many of Elvis Presley's songs, but I had a great time. There was interaction with the audience, and the backup dancers and live music were of impressive quality. Songs from the Disney movie Moana were also performed, which I think children would enjoy as well. While you can find free hula and fire dancing performances in places like shopping malls, the quality of this show is very high, so I recommend attending this even if it's just for the show itself.

今回、人数限定のモニターでショーを観ました。
夫婦での鑑賞で、他にも日本人の方はチラホラ見かけました。
席は後ろから4列のどれかでよく、自由席だったためほぼ真ん中に座れました。

■ショーの構成
ハワイの歌、マイケル・ジャクソンなどの過去の人気ソング、ファイヤーダンスといった感じです。

■感想
エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの生歌を聴けます。
他の方も記載されていますが、ただの物真似と言うと失礼で歌唱力バツグンの方が歌います。
エルビス・プレスリーは知らない曲が多かったのですが、すごい楽しめました。
観客との交流があったり、バックダンサーや生演奏もすごい完成度で圧巻です。
ディズニー映画のモアナの曲も歌われ、子供でも楽しめるのではないかと思います。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは無料で観られるところはショッピングモールなどにありますが、ショーとしての完成度が高いため、ショーのみのプランでもいいので、こちらを鑑賞されるのをオススメします。

Overall the experience was simple amazing. Don't miss out this when you are in Waikiki.The check in was very smooth. There were ticket counters,signs and people to guide through the process.We bought the tickets online and they were able to process it from QR code. They gave us physical copy of ticket which we had to use for entrance. We had warm welcome with garlands and person helped us with our seats.
Theme of the show was how the music evolved around hawaii from 1920 to 2000.It was wonderful transition between different eras. Actors were very talented and sound quality was too good. I felt like I am listening to live original songs.Fireshow was amazing, very creative.I liked how they had catered to all different generations and brought a mix of everything. I did not even realize how time went by and enjoyed each moment of the show.After the show there was meet and greet activity at Lobby. Please spend some time taking pictures with them and appreciating their work. After the show , they also have bar with live musical with happy hour. I enjoyed some drinks at the bar. Definetly don't miss out on that, blue hawaii is the best !

When Michael sings, from the back of the audience... Surprise!! A ghost~
The backup dancers had great energy, and I enjoyed watching everything.
With the backup dancers, the plump Michael was dancing energetically, and the audience was able to join in the fun as well.
I had a ticket reserved for showtime only, without a meal, so I wasn't in the middle, but I was seated on the aisle, which was nice.
If you want to include a meal, please make a reservation with it. The seats were in the middle of the studio.
During showtime, taking photos and videos is allowed.

マイケルが歌うと、客席の後ろから…ビックリ‼︎お化け〜
バッグダンサーの踊りにキレが有り、全て観ていて楽しめました。
バッグダンサーと一緒に、ぷっくりマイケルですがノリノリ踊ってくれて、客席からも一緒に楽しめましたよ。
私は食事無しの、ショータイムのみのチケット予約でしたので、真ん中ではありませんでしたが、通路側の席からでしたが良かったですよ。
食事を付けたい方は付けて予約してください。席がスタジオの真ん中でしたよ。
ショータイム中、写メにビデオ大丈夫。

This time, we participated in a tour for our honeymoon. It's truly moving to experience a show where the audience can cheer and get excited together, something we rarely get to do in our daily lives. At the end, we even got to take photos with the performers, which was a lot of fun! The hula dance and fire dance were of very high quality and really got the audience pumped up, making us feel the thrill of the flames as well. Since it's an indoor stage, it's easy to go regardless of the weather. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii!

今回は新婚旅行でツアーに参加しました。
こんなに歓声をあげて観客皆で盛り上がれるショーは普段、日常、なかなか体験出来ないので感激です。最後は出演していた方にお写真も撮って頂けてとても楽しませて頂きました！フラダンスや炎のダンス、かなり完成度が高くて盛り上げてくれるので 観客側のこっちも炎のスリルと同時に盛り上がります。雨天関係なく室内のステージなのでいつでも行きやすいです。またハワイに来た時は行きたいです！

Royal Package is definitely worth it for the seating alone. The show feels lso great to be closer, as I had went 3 years ago with regular seating and the experience is much more worth it.

Definitely worth the upgraded event, the dinner was nothing short of delicious, the staff was impecable as well! MAHALO!!

Awesome dinner cruise! We had fun and the foods were delicious!! Don’t forget to tip!! They took a picture of us it’s $27 and some of the packages has it. They also have lei flower for $15.

The Luau itself was fantastic. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The presenters were fantastic educational and entertaining. The bar lines were a bit longer, but besides that greast evening

The Chief is extremely funny and very talented. As well to all of the performers and staff were kind and incredibly talented. It is much more organized than the other luaus we attended. The fire knife show was the best I've ever seen.

I live on the mainland, and this time I met up with a friend from Japan in Honolulu. My friend, who hasn't been to Hawaii in a while, expressed a strong desire to see a hula dance show, so we decided to participate.

For retirees like us, Hawaii seems to be becoming a distant world, and as organizers, they must be struggling to balance the reality of Hawaii with the fantasy, which is likely why they created this Hula + Rock show. While the hula is enjoyable, the rock part can be fun if you view it as an impersonation show. The live show industry has faced tremendous challenges due to COVID-19, and I hope we can support them in any way possible.

As for the meal, to be honest, it was disappointing. I had hoped for something special, but the food was just what you could get at any restaurant outside. My friend, who really enjoyed the show, mentioned that there are many good restaurants nearby, so next time we will enjoy dinner there and just focus on the show.

当方米本土在住、今回は日本の友人とホノルルで待ち合わせ。日本友人は、久々のハワイで、是非フラダンスショウが見たい、との希望で参加しました。
私たちのようなリタイア世代の心の中にあるハワイは、もう遠い世界になりつつあるようで、主催者としても、現実のハワイと幻想のバランスを取ろうと苦肉の策の演出がこのフラ+Rock なのでしょうね。フラはよいとして、Rockはそっくりさんの物まねショウとしてみると楽しめます。コロナで、特にライブショウ関係者は大変な災難を受けています。少しでも彼らを応援できれば良いなと思います。
お食事は、正直、期待外れ。特別なものが用意されるのかと期待したのですが、外のレストランでもいただけるものばかりでした。ショウが大いに気に行った友人は、場所柄良いレストランが近くにたくさんあるので、次回は食事はそちらで楽しみ、ショウだけでとのことでした。

They rein acted Michael Jackson and Elvis alot ❤️ They have a beautiful Polynesian singer /host . My fav part was the fire show thats what I was trily just waiting on ❤️ They serve awesome drinks virgin if requested❤️ Nice time wiith my man.

To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!

Great food, excellent service, beautiful show, and wonderful atmosphere!

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.
