Oahu
The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.
It was my first show. I didn't have high expectations, but it was surprisingly fun and a great show. I would like to go again if I have the chance.
初めてのしょうでした。きたいはしていませんが思った以上にすごく楽しくて良いショーでした。また機会があれば行きたいです。

Michael's dance show was amazing. The hula show was also authentic and powerful. Everyone is saying it was great to have the VIP seats.
マイケルのダンスショーが最高でした
フラショーも本物で、迫力ありました
VIP席でしたがこちらにして良かったとみんな言ってます

With a variety of shows including hula dance, fire dance, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley, I thought this price was a great deal, especially with the large buffet included. You can also take photos as long as you don't use flash.
フラダンス、ファイアーダンス、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリーと盛りだくさんのショーに加えて、大ボリュームのビュッフェがついてこのお値段なら安いと思いました。また写真もフラッシュをたかなければ撮影出来ます。

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.
Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated
This was our first time in Oahu and first time at a Luau. Highly recommend Toa
Luau. We arrived a few hours early since ticket includes admission to the Waimea Valley Gardens and Falls. Bring swimsuits and take a dip into the waterfalls at the end of the valley! We walked back to the Luau in time for the fun activities and 'pre-Luau' events includes crafts. We attended as a couple but this would be wonderful for families. The Luau then began with an amazing show complete with dancing and fire! Cousin Billy our host was entertaining and hospitable--the entire experience has a 'family' welcoming vibe. The food was good with a variety of choices. Because we were on our honeymoon Cousin Bill called up all the anniversaries/honeymoon couples for a special gift and blessing which was so special to us. We would definitely return this time with our family! Great job Toa Luau we'll be back!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! Your Toa Luau Ohana is looking forward to seeing you again :-)
The show was very enjoyable! The food was normally delicious, but the time to eat was short, and I ended up leaving a lot. It would have been nice to have a bit more space and time to enjoy the meal.
ショーはとても楽しめました^_^
ご飯は普通に美味しかったのですが、ご飯を食べる時間が短くてたくさん残してしまいました。もう少しゆったりしたスペースで時間をかけて食べれたら良かったかな。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time, and for your valuable feedback. We would like to work on improvements as a team for future challenges. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.
I had a very enjoyable day! The most impressive part was the guide! She was a woman with striking eye makeup and a muumuu! Throughout the bus ride, she entertained everyone with various stories about Hawaii, and at the sightseeing points, she made sure we saw everything! Every place we stopped at during the half-day tour was great. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we had a Japanese student guide who showed us around. It was very spacious and surprising! It was a beautiful place. We also enjoyed the show! A hat is definitely a must!
とても楽しい一日でした!一番印象的だったのは、ガイドさんでした!アイメークとムームーが印象的な女性です!
バスの中ではハワイのいろんな話を、観光ポイントではしっかり見せてくれるなど、終始みんなを楽しませてくれました!
半日観光で立ち寄った場所は、どこもよかったです。
ポリネシア カルチャー センターでも学生の日本人ガイドさんがついて案内してくれました。とても広くてビックリ!!キレイなトコでした。ショーも楽しめました!
帽子が必需品ですね!
From the moment that we first interacted with staff at the shuttle bus pick-up, the whole package was seamless. Staff made the bus ride and boarding so easy that we just had to be swept along and enjoy the experience. The management on the boat was also superb, but kept personal. The Friday night fireworks just completed a beautiful night.
The day after our wedding in Hawaii, we took both families, including our parents and grandmothers, to see some activities! We were satisfied with the food, and the main show was enjoyable for both our student cousins and grandmothers. It had a strong element of impersonation and was of high quality.
ハワイ婚で結婚式の次の日のアクティビティとして、両家の親とおばあちゃんいとこたちを連れて見に行きました!
ご飯も満足できましたし、肝心なショーは学生のいとこもおばあちゃんも楽しめる内容でした。ものまねショーの要素が強くクオリティ高かったです。

I would say: little exposure to the island, but if you are looking into the opportunity to experience the island while getting a real dip into cultural life of the Polynesia.
Shows at each of the Polynesian cultures were scheduled to flow from one to the other. Huki: A Canoe Celebration was a beautiful gathering of the features of all cultures represented at the park. Being a small physical park area, walking between activities was not stressful and workers were happy to help if you couldn't find a show. Great value for money.
On the day of the event, it was a bit disappointing that the luau was held indoors due to the weather, but I was greeted with a lei at the entrance and chose a Mai Tai. There were many types of food available to fill up before the show, and I was quite satisfied. The show included audience participation events, creating a friendly atmosphere. The singing and hula were fantastic, and the fire dance brought everything to a climax. It was an incredibly enjoyable evening.
当日は天候の影響で室内でのルアウとなり少し残念でしたが
入り口でレイを掛けていただき、マイタイをチョイス。
ショーの前の腹ごなしも多くの種類が並び満腹になりました。
ショーでは客席参加型のイベントもあり和やかな雰囲気でした。
歌、フラも最高、ファイヤーダンスで最高潮となり
とても楽しく過ごせた夕べでした。
I booked and participated in six activities during this trip, but the Polynesian Cultural Center was the best! The bus guide, Maki, was really funny, and despite the long travel time, no one fell asleep. The local Japanese student guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very dedicated, which was great. One day wasn't enough, so I definitely want to participate again next time.
今回の旅行で6つのアクティビティを予約し参加しましたが、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは一番良かったです!
バスのガイドさんのまきさんは凄く面白く、長い時間の移動にも関わらず、誰一人寝ていなかった。
ポリネシアも現地の日本人学生のガイドが一生懸命さが伝わり凄く良かったです。
一日の滞在では足らないくらいでしたので次回も是非参加したいと思います。
I was disappointed that I couldn't get off the bus even though I went all the way to the North Shore. It was also a letdown that both meals were at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I had intended to see the whole island, but it felt one-sided, and I felt like I missed out.
せっかくノースショアまで行ったりしているのに、バスから降りれず、残念なおもいをしました。
食事は2回ともポリネシアン文化センターだったのも残念ポイント。
島全体をみれるつもりが、偏っていて、損した気分になりました。
Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!
Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!
We attended with seven family members in the Diamond Seat. The price is high, but the major benefits are being able to watch the show from the front row and having priority access to the buffet. The buffet had a long line, possibly due to the Golden Week crowds, and it was disappointing to be cut in line by those who didn't have priority. The drink bar also had a Japanese menu available. Additionally, they take a photo of you at the beginning, and later a staff member comes around selling the framed photo for $50, which is amusing. After the show, the performers allow you to take pictures in the hallway, so that was satisfying.
家族7人で、ダイヤモンドシートで参加しました。
価格は高いですが大きいメリットは、最前列でショーを観れる・ビュッフェが最優先で並べるの2点です。ビュッフェはGWの混雑のせいか長蛇の列で、優先ではない方に割込みされ残念でした。
ドリンクバーは日本語メニューもありました。
また、最初に写真撮られ、後でまわってくるスタッフさんが写真たて付き50ドルで売りに来ます笑
ショーの後、出演者の方が廊下で写真を撮らせてくれるのでそれで満足でした。
This is my second time, and it was absolutely amazing. Whenever I come to Hawaii, I will definitely come to see the Chief Luau show. I also introduced it to my friends, and they said it was fun. This time, I reserved a VIP seat, which made it even better. I look forward to next time!
今回で2回目 最高に面白かった ハワイに来た時は必ずチーフルアーショー見に来ます お友達にも紹介しました 楽しいと言ってました 今回はVIP席に予約して更に良かった 次回もt
We purchased the Super Ambassador package and we were treated like royalty. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and respectful. Iotua was our guides name so we highly recommend him. Learning about the other islands in the pacific was fun. They told you just enough that now we would like to visit each one. The parade on water was really something you don’t want to miss. Also the Breath of Fire program was awesome!
The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.
First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.
At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.
The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.
最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び(笑)帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています(笑)
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。
I studied various Polynesian cultures and dances thoroughly. It's a place where you can spend the whole day experiencing it. Alcohol is not available.
充分いろいろなポリネシアの文化とダンスを勉強しました。体験もでき一日中過ごせる場所です。アルコールが飲めないです。
The sunset in Waikiki offers a breathtaking view of the night scenery from the boat, and you can enjoy the fireworks without any obstructions. With light meals and alcohol, I had a great time feeling a bit tipsy among the high-energy passengers and the crew who spoke Japanese. It's also reassuring that there are restrooms on board. If there are many Japanese guests, they provide individual explanations in Japanese, which was very appreciated.
ワイキキのサンセット、夜景が船から一望でき、花火も視界を遮るものが何も無く堪能できます。軽い食事とアルコールでほろ酔い気分でハイテンションな乗客と日本語が通じるクルーのおもてなしでとても良い時間を過ごすことができました。トイレも船内にあるので安心です。日本人が多い場合は、日本語で個別に説明をしてくれるのでそこもありがたかったです。
Very cool to see and hear about all the history of the PCC. This is me and my wife's first time going to the PCC and Hawaii and let's just say that this is a must! Loved every second of it! Will be back again!
Horseback riding in Hawaii. There are various options, but this was the only place I found that allows small children to ride, so I made a request. I thought it would be a short experience, more like a child's play (laughs), but to my surprise... we got to ride on a big, adorable horse and explore the mountain trails!
It was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, and I really enjoyed it. My 2-year-old daughter fell asleep, so her dad rode instead. I had only made a reservation for my grandchild, but they easily accommodated changing it to one adult for my grandchild and adding another adult.
Next time, we plan to go on a trip with just the grandparents, and I want to go horseback riding at Turtle Bay, where we went for our honeymoon (laughs). It will be next New Year's, so I hope to see you then!
ハワイで乗馬。色々有るけど小さな子供の乗れる乗馬はここしか見つからず、お願いしました。時間も短いし、子供騙し(笑)的な感じで乗るんだろうなぁ~と思いきや……
本格的に大きな可愛いお馬に乗れて、山道散策!
日本では、味わえない経験が出来て、とても楽しめました。2歳の女の子は寝てしまってパパが代わりに乗れました。孫だけの予約をしていたのですが、あちらで、孫1人大人に変更と、大人1人追加も簡単に対応していただきました。
次回は、じぃじ&ばぁばの2人旅の予定なので、新婚旅行で行った(笑)タートルベイの乗馬に行きたいなぁ‼って言ってます。来年のお正月になりますが、その時もヨロシクお願いします。
This event was outstanding - an excellent way to see so many of the major sites on the island and experience all the Polynesian Cultural Center has to offer. The tour guide was exceptional- providing a lot of interesting information about the various places we visited. Our stops were just the right amount of time to allow us to take pictures and explore a little. My personal favorite was Hanauma Bay - such a beautiful view. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see when you visit the island - such interesting and lesser known facts about the history of the Center - and an outstanding luau and show.
The food was very good. You get about 30 mins between the food and show to go to the top and see the sunset. Good spot for pictures. Then you come back down for dessert and a show, the show was okay. After that they have dancing you dont have to participate if you do not want to. You can pay for additional drinks.
From the greeters to the servers to the Chief himself, everyone treated us like we were a part of the family. It felt like a big family reunion.
The food was delicious, and even if you're vegetarian or vegan like me, there are plenty of options! I had a mountain of food on my plate and didn't leave hungry.
The entertainment was my favorite part. Talented hula and warrior dancers performed traditional dances from various regions of Polynesia. So it was both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this luau!
I made a reservation for my mother, who loves hula. The weather was favorable in early April, and it was comfortable at first, but as the sun went down, it became chilly, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The show was of high quality, and I was satisfied to be able to show her authentic hula. This time, I chose the Golden Seat, but since we arrived late, we ended up with seats on the edge, which was disappointing. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the Diamond Seat and see it up close.
今回フラの好きな母のために予約しました。
4月上旬天候にめぐまれ最初快適でしたが、日が落ちると
やはり肌寒く上着を持参すればと後悔しました。
ショーは完成度が高く、本場のフラを見せてあげることができて
満足しました。今回はゴールデンシートにしましたが遅めに到着したため
端の席になり残念でした。次回はぜひダイヤモンドシートで予約し
間近で見たいと思います。
