Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Amazing Luau!

Reviewed by: Cindy

My entire family attend Chief's Luau and it was wonderful from top to bottom. They provided a huge amount of good food and moved people through the line quickly. Chief Sielu was delightfully funny, wise, heartfelt and shared his culture in such a beautiful way. All of the musicians, dancers and fire/knife dancers were absolutely amazing. All the performers showed such a passion and love of their culture. I would highly recommend this luau for anyone wanting to learn more about Polynesian culture.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour

Reviewed by: Angel

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.

Reviewed by: Guys trip

We had a blast with Morgan driving use around the 900+ acre Gunstock Ranch we saw a see cave, a WWII pill box, beautiful views of the North shore and the East side of the island. Lunch was at a peaceful shaded area on top of the ranch. And we had to try out the tree swing. Did I mention that almost all of the ranch hands are beautiful women. Thank you Gunstock we had a great time.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Good show/food, Odd location

Reviewed by: Megan

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.

Chief’s Luau

Reviewed by: The Sager’s

This show was outstanding. It surpassed all of our expectations. The talent and skills were evident and the energy level was high throughout the night. On the needing improvement side of things, the lines to get drinks were unbelievably long and very slow. The food was average at best but they were feeding 1000 people.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Review

Reviewed by: The Sager’s

The grounds are beautiful, but it was just an average experience in our opinion. This luau show itself was low energy and our bus leader was on the over stressed and anxious side. The pre show had all sorts of activities going on that made the experience more enjoyable for anyone with kiddos. The lines for drinks were plentiful and went very well. The buffet food lines seemed to be going in the wrong or opposite direction, as one had to traverse everyone in line with a full plate of food.

Paradise cove luau on the beach at Ko Olina Resort

Reviewed by: Buckner family

My overall experience at this resort was that it was a beautiful place to enjoy and experience laughter, family, love and great music. The resort overall was beautiful sensory with singing and luau dancers dancing next to the ocean. There were items that we didn’t like for example the food. The food was cold and very uncomfortable unclean. What I mean by this is that it was more like a buffet before COVID was established., no one was serving our food and we had to serve ourselves, just a recipe for disaster. Our seating arrangements at the luau were very confusing too, we given a guide to seat us, to sit us by a number system arranged on the tables., with the number of people at this luau their so be a better system on how they seat people for a better experience.

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Elegant and memorable activity with breathtaking views and wonderful music/atmosphere

Reviewed by: Eric

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.

They didn’t call you Chief for nothing

Reviewed by: Midweek

This is not your regular Luau event that you go to. My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary and it’s his first trip after 35 years. I was surprised to know that I was not only watching or going to a luau but also going to a comedy show. Chief was amazingly great! His delivery was superb and did not seem rehearsed but was very natural. The staff (i feel bad that I didn’t get his name :( but he was great) took care of a mishap that happened and was very professional. Everyone was so great and I will definitely go back and tell my friends to make sure to see Chiefs Luau.

The show from the VIP seats is the best! VIP席からのショーは最幸!

Reviewed by: あんり

I had been curious about the Royal Hawaiian dinner show for a while✨ I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but everything exceeded my imagination and was incredibly delicious! The drinks included one complimentary drink in addition to the service, and there were non-alcoholic cocktails available, which were plentiful and tasted amazing✨ The showtime featured a lovely and talented female singer who was absolutely wonderful✨ I had been intrigued by the "Rock-a-Hula Show" from the photos, and when it started, I thought, "Ah! So that's what it is!" and it all made sense✨ Both Elvis and Michael were great at singing and dancing, and I was surprised at how well it matched with the Hawaiian theme! But the absolute highlight was the fire show✨ The performance was fantastic, and the performer looked just like my husband, which had us all laughing out loud! Personally, they were my number one look-alike! It was also a nice touch that we could take a commemorative photo together at the end, which felt very American! I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends who are going to Hawaii✨

以前から気になっていたロイヤルハワイアンのディナーショー✨
ディナーはそこまで期待してませんでしたが、想像を越えてどれもこれもとっても美味しかったです!
ドリンクもサービス以外にワンドリンク付いていて、ノンアルコールカクテルもあり、量も多く味も凄く美味しかったです✨
ショータイムは、シンガーの女性が可愛くて上手でとっても素敵でした✨
「ロックアフラショー」のロックが、写真を観てても気になってましたが、始まってみて「あっ!そういうことか!」と納得✨
エルビスもマイケルも歌も踊りも上手で凄かったし、ハワイアンとマッチしてるのが驚きでした!
でも、1番最高だったのはファイヤーショー✨
演技が素晴らしいのは勿論ですが、この方が私の主人にそっくり瓜二つで大爆笑でした〜笑
個人的にNo.1のそっくりさんでした笑笑
最後に一緒に記念撮影が出来るのもアメリカらしくて良いサービスですね!
ハワイに行く友人達に是非勧めたいツアーです✨

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

The Best Way to Experience Oahu Sunset

Reviewed by: Greg H

This is truly a 5-star luxury experience and the best Oahu sunset dinner cruise. From start to finish you are treated like royalty by friendly and helpful staff. We had the package that includes transportation to and from Waikiki and 4 drinks each (1 Captain's Bellini drink and 3 premium drink tickets). When you arrive you are greeted by dancers, the crew, and captains. You have an opportunity to meet the captains and get amazing photos before setting off on the cruise. The boat was very accessible with elevators to each of the decks. The 5-star luxury SuperNova deck is beautiful and spacious. You are treated to a 7-course dinner and live jazz trio band. At any point you are free to roam the private top deck area for incredible photos of Oahu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, ocean, and sunset. I would advise anyone who signs up for the 5-star luxury deck to wear the appropriate attire (business to formal). I don't think you would be allowed boarding with swimsuits or t-shirts. Dress pants, sneakers and collared shirts should be fine for men, but be aware some guests will dress very formal and be celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, etc. We highly recommend the 5-star luxury dinner experience as it was one of our favorite parts of our Hawaii trip.

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Best memory of Honolulu

Reviewed by: Rachel

I booked this sunset cruise trip as a get-away trip for me and my mum. My mum is 70 years old and she has bad knees so we have limited activities we can enjoy in Honolulu. The Star of Honolulu is probably the biggest cruise I can find in Oahu. It even has an elevator so my mum does not need to climb stairs!
I was super impressed with the service. As soon as we boarded the ship, we were brought to deck #4 through the elevator, this is the top deck. We were greeted by crew members, have our private photo opportunity with the captain and two beautiful dancers. we enjoyed our onboard drink and appetizer before being brought to our table. by the way we have six alcohol drink vouchers as part of the package. we had a five-course meal: soup, salad, lobster, wellington beef, icecream, and desertl food is absolutely delicious. this is absolutely five star luxury dinner. Most of people were celebrating anniversary, honeymoon or birthday. The crews are super friendly and attentive. When my mom and I walked to the deck to take sunset pictures, they came out to help us! I highly recommended the tour, it will make your the other half feel so special. My best memory of Honolulu.
