All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

This luau show was a bit different from what I've seen before, and as expected from Hilton, it was great! I had a very good seat in the front center. However, since the venue is relatively small, I think the experience would still be quite impressive from any front row seat, not just the center ones.

今まで見たのとは少し違うアレンジされたルアウショーでさすがヒルトン！！
前方中央席でとても良かったです。
ただ、会場が割と狭いので中央席じゃなくても前方席なら迫力も対して変わらないかなと思いました。

This is my second time. I became a repeat visitor just to see Michael. The Polynesian show is also very impressive. It has become one of my favorite activities in Waikiki.

今回で二回目です。マイケル観たさにリピーターになってしまいました。ポリネシアンショーも見応え十分です。ワイキキでの楽しみの一つになりました。

Both the hula performance and the entertainment were of a high level, so my family was satisfied. Michael Jackson had quite an impact. Presley also had a great atmosphere and was very enthusiastic in his service.

フラも演奏もエンタテインメントもレベルが高いので、家族も満足していました。マイケルジャクソンはかなりインパクトがありました。プレスリーも雰囲気が出ていたし、サービス精神旺盛でした。

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です！

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.

This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!

My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.

Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.

The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!

Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.

Thumbs up!

I received an email from Mr. T.S. about the family trip, and everyone was very happy! I definitely want to participate when we go during Golden Week.

家族旅行で、出かけたT.Sさんからメールで
皆さんたいへん喜ばれてました！
ゴールデンウィークに行く時は、是非参加して見たい。

The boat was a little bit too crowded, but the dinner experience and the view of Waikiki were great.

We started with dinner, and then enjoyed hula, singing, and dancing with very quick costume changes. Even the impersonators sang like professionals. I was a fan of that nostalgic Elvis. The show was wonderful, and my hands turned red from all the applause.

ディナーから始まり、フラや歌、踊りなどとても素早い衣装替えで楽しみました。
そっくりさんでも歌はプロですね。懐かしいあのプレスリー。実はファンでした。
ショーが素晴らしくて、拍手で手が真っ赤になっちゃいました。

I chose this place based on its reputation, but...
The food was at the level of a rooftop beer garden.
The show had a nice atmosphere in the theater, but it was boring, and I left halfway through.
I can't understand the positive reviews from others.
I won't be coming back.

評判を呼んで選んでみましたが、、、、
食事も屋上のビアガーデンレベル。
ショーは劇場で雰囲気はあったものの、退屈で途中で退席してしまいました。
他の人の評判が理解できません。
再訪はないですね。

I heard great reviews from my colleague about her mother, so I made a reservation for my mother in her 70s. I was worried that we might get a bad seat since we arrived late, but we ended up with a very good table, the second one from the center. However, the area for those with meals isn't very spacious, so I think you can see the stage well from anywhere. Everyone's dancing and singing were top-notch and kept us entertained.

One point that didn't meet my expectations was that I thought there would be more hula dancing. The show has a stronger rock influence, so those who come expecting more hula might be disappointed. Elvis was cooler than the real thing! His singing was just like the original.

Michael was also great. I wasn't particularly a fan of Michael, but perhaps because I spent my middle and high school years enjoying Western music, it brought back memories and I was so moved that I ended up crying. I couldn't help but think, "Ah, Michael is alive!"

同僚のお母様がよかった！という評判をきいて、70代の母のために予約しました。遅れて着いたので、良くない席になってしまうのではと思いましたが、中央から二つ目のテーブルでとても良い席でした。ただ、食事付きの人が案内される場所はそんなに広い場所ではないので、どこからでもよくステージが見えると思います。みなさんダンスも、歌も一流で飽きさせない内容でした。
ですが１点期待から外れていたことといえば、もう少しフラを見られるかと思ってしまったことでした。フラよりロック色の方が強いショーなので、フラのほうを期待されて来られた方はがっかりするかも。
エルビスは本物よりもカッコいい！歌も本人そのものです。
マイケルもよかったです。私は特にマイケルのファンではなかったのですが、洋楽が好きな中高生時代を過ごしていたためか過去を思い出しかなり感激して泣いてしまいました。「ああ、マイケルが生きている！」そんな風に思えてなりませんでした。

To celebrate my eldest son's elementary school graduation, I came to Hawaii with four third graders. For everyone except me, it was their first time in Hawaii. I had been moved by the view from the second floor before, so I wanted my family to see it too, and this time, I reserved VIP seats to also celebrate the children's birthday. Since it was the first day in Hawaii, the kids were hit by sleepiness around the time the show started and ended up falling asleep. Even though I had ordered a birthday cake...

The show itself was amazing‼️ I should consider when to go again. The content was varied, and I want to go back✨

長男の小学校卒業を記念して、小学校３年生と４人でハワイに来ました。自分以外は初ハワイでした。前に２階席より見て感動をしていたので、家族にも見てほしく今回は子供の誕生日もかねてVIP席を予約しました。ハワイ初日とあり時差ぼけか子供はショーが始まる頃に睡魔におそわれ寝てしまいました。
バースデーケーキも頼んでいたのに……
ショー自体は最高でした‼️
行く日を考えるべき出した。
内容も変化しててまた行きたいです✨

The canoe show and night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, as well as the hula lessons, were very enjoyable. Our guide, Kelina, was knowledgeable and made the tour both fun and informative. I felt that the bus driver's driving was quite wild, and I hope that can be improved. Overall, it was a highly satisfying tour.

ポリネシアンセンターのカヌーショウとナイトショウ、フラのレッスンがとても楽しかったです。ガイドのケリーナさんが知識豊富でとても楽しく為になる内容のツアーでした。バスの運転手さんの運転がかなりワイルドでそこだけは改善してほしいと思いました。トータルでは最高に満足度の高い内容のツアーでした。

This tour includes a full course with a VIP backyard plan. The participation card gives a special feeling, and we had photo opportunities with stars and champagne. The guide was very enthusiastic and made the tour enjoyable while we explored the backyard! They were also proactive in taking photos in front of the headpieces and instruments. After finishing the tour, we went to the venue, where our seats were right at the front of the central stage. Depending on the number of participants, I think VIP courses usually have front-row seats. The content of the show was also very satisfying! Elvis and Michael were the main acts, and the quality of each was high! I believe the song choices were mostly familiar, and the female singer's performances in between featured famous sounds, which made me feel like I was in Hawaii. The scale of the show has a luxurious private atmosphere! I recommend it for any part of your Hawaii trip—at the beginning, during, or at the end! The course meal and alcohol exceeded expectations! The Blue Hawaii and strawberry cocktails were delicious!

We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.

午前中の観光から始まり１３時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。
今回のツアーでお世話になったガイドさん　本当にありがとうございました。
来年　またお会いできるといいです。

I had a great time.
I think first-time visitors to Hawaii should definitely check it out.
Personally, I was captivated by the dancers♪
It was full of fun, so I highly recommend it to everyone!

楽しく過ごせました。
初めてハワイに行かれる方は
見ておいた方が良いと思いますよー。
個人的にはダンサーの方々に目を奪われてました♪
遊び心満載でしたので皆様も是非是非w

This is my third time, and I always enjoy the different content and songs each year. This year, I was moved by the female singer's voice. The fire show was also dynamic and thrilling; it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

三回目になりますが、毎年違う内容や歌に楽しませていただいてます。今年は女性の方の歌声に感動しました。火のショーもダイナミックでハラハラドキドキ楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

This was absolutely amazing!! It had everything! We had a fabulous meal of steak and lobster, watched the Polynesian show which was amazing and saw whales several times for the first time! We had the Captain renew our vows after 21 years together. He did it at the helm of the ship and the view was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely do this again, the crew was amazing and our every need was tended to! It was the absolutely perfect way to spend our 21st anniversary!!!

Tour guide outstanding. Exceeded all our needs and provided excellent guide service and advice. Treated us special from the moment we met until our departure. Thanks very much for translating Chinese for my wife and daughter and making their experience memorable. Had the best time ever! Definitely need to do this again with same guide. Thank you!

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was my third trip to Hawaii, and this time I chose the Rock-a-Hula show among many options. As the largest show in Waikiki that fuses Polynesian culture with rock, it was truly a wonderful experience. The backstage monitor tour I participated in was all VIP treatment, which was very moving.

First, we were guided to the green room where we received a welcome drink. Then, during the backstage tour, we were taken to areas not usually accessible, where we learned about the performers' costumes and props. We even got to wear some of the decorations used in the Polynesian show for photos, which was quite touching when I saw the pictures later.

The stage setup was fantastic, and the live band was powerful. Being seated in the front row center, I was completely drawn into the show. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson's songs and dances were so incredible that I almost thought they were the real deal.

The fire show was also more impressive from the front row than when I saw it previously. The delicious dinner and the photo gift added to the overall satisfaction, making it feel worth more than the price paid.

今度で3度目のハワイ旅行で、今回は数あるショーの中でロック・ア・フラショーを選択しました。ポリネシアとロックを融合させたワイキキ最大のショーと
いう名の通り大変素晴らしいショーでした。その中でも今回エントリーしたバックステージ付きのモニターツアーはすべてがVIP待遇で感動しました。
先ずはグリーンルームに案内され、ウエルカムドリンクがあり、その後バックステージツアーで、普段見ることが出来ない舞台裏に案内され、出演者の衣装や小道具の説明受け、そしてポリネシアショーで使う飾り物を頭につけて頂き
写真撮影をしてくれました。後でその姿をみて少し感激しました。
舞台装置も素晴らしく生バンドも迫力があり、VIP待遇ということで席も最前列の真ん中でしたので、ショーに引き込まれました。
ロックショーのエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの歌とダンスは大変すばらしく一瞬本物にかと思うほどのレベルだと思います。
ファイヤーショーも最前列のため以前見た時より迫力を感じました。
美味しいディナーに写真のプレゼントも付き料金以上の満足感です。

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.

First time I went on a boat, first time eating lobster, first time in Hawaii! Everything was perfect from A to Z!

This was my first dinner show other than hula, despite having been to Hawaii over 20 times.

First, I received a pass to wear around my neck and was allowed priority entry after watching the hula from a special entrance. Then, I was taken to the green room of Elvis's dressing room. While enjoying some snacks and a welcome drink, I chatted and took photos with a beautiful performer, and then the manager came to guide us backstage.

After that, we had dinner at a table right in front of the stage. I wasn't expecting much from the meal, but it turned out to be one of the top three best course meals I've had in Hawaii—it was incredibly delicious.

Just as we finished our meal, the show began. The performance was fantastic, with not only singers but also dancers who performed not just hula but ballet as well. The music was impressive enough to satisfy even those of us who are particular about sound quality. Since our table was right in front of the stage, we could hear the singer's breathing and footsteps, which added to the excitement. At one point, Elvis came down from the stage, draped something like a scarf around my neck, and surprised me with a kiss on the cheek!

After the show, I was able to take photos with the stars at the exit using my own camera, and I got autographs on the photos taken in the green room. The hospitality, food, and show were all wonderful, making it a dreamlike experience.

ハワイは20回目以上ですがフラ以外のディナーショーははじめてでした。
まず首から掛けるパスをいただき、特別な入り口でフラを見てから優先入場させていただき、エルビスの楽屋のグリーンルームに通されます。
おつまみとウェルカムドリンクをいただきながらパフォーマーの美しいお姉さんとお話したり写真を撮ってもらっていると支配人が来られてバックステージを案内してくださいます。
その後ステージの目の前のテーブルで食事をいただきます。
その食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、ハワイで食べたコース料理の中でもベスト3には入るぐらいとってもおいしかったです。
ゆっくりと食事を終えた頃にショーが始まります。
このショーも、歌手はもちろん、ダンサーもフラだけでなくバレエなどもされているようなパフォーマンスで、演奏もちょっと音楽にはうるさい私たちも満足するすばらしさ。テーブルが舞台の目の前なので歌手の方の息使いや足音も聞こえて迫力満点でした。途中にエルビスが舞台から降りて来られ、首にスカーフのようなものを掛けてほっぺたにキスしてくれてビックリ!!
ショーが終わっても出口でスターと自分のカメラで写真をとっていただけ、グリーンルームで撮っていただいた写真にサインしてもらえました。
おもてなし、食事、ショー、どれをとってもすばらしくて夢のようなひとときでした。

I saw it two years ago, and this time I watched it from the Diamond Seat. As expected from a Hilton show, the level of the dancers was high, and my whole family was very satisfied. However, I'm concerned about what would happen if it started to rain heavily, although it was just a light rain this time and it stopped quickly.

2年前にも見ましたが、今回もダイヤモンドシートで見ました。やはりヒルトンのショウだけあって、ダンサーのレベルも高く、家族全員大満足でした。ただし心配なのは今回は小雨ですぐやんだので大丈夫でしたが、途中で大雨になったらどうなるのかな？？

I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.

One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.

9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。

We enjoyed the Dinner cruise very much.The food and entertainment were great.Right from the transport pick up everything very well organised.It was a beautiful evening and lovely to see Waikiki from the oceon,I also saw a Whale jump right out of the water for the first time.

The backstage tour is truly a VIP experience. The "green room" pass handed out at check-in, the table code, the table napkins, and the survey forms are all green.

The term "green room" is said to have originated from Elvis Presley, who kept many plants in his dressing room for his throat.

Upon entering, I was guided to the green room where I was surprised by a welcome from Michael Jackson! I even got to take a photo with him. I enjoyed welcome champagne and snacks while chatting with a hula dancer.

After a while, the manager came to guide us. We walked through a hallway with the performers' schedules posted and finally headed to the stage.

I could see the audience dining through a thin curtain. They showed us how to change the stage lighting and change colors, and explained that the performers enter and exit through a stretch curtain. It was a space unlike anything I had ever seen.

Backstage, there were many costumes for quick changes. They explained that each performer has to change in a very short time, which conveyed the difficulty of their work. I got to wear a large headdress for Tahitian dance. It was so big that I discovered I had to maintain my balance while dancing.

I was so impressed when I saw this show about two years ago that I decided to take the backstage tour this time. Seeing a world I didn't know made me feel closer to the performers, and I enjoyed it even more than last time.

The behind-the-scenes of the stage is a world you can't see in everyday life. I had a truly wonderful time.

バックステージツアーは、とにかく　VIP待遇です。チェックインの時に渡される　「グリーンルーム」のパス、テーブルコードも　テーブルナプキンも　アンケート用紙も　グリーン。

「グリーンルーム」とは、エルビスプレスリーが　喉のために植物を沢山置いていた楽屋にちなんで　楽屋のことをそう呼ぶようになったのだそうです。

真っ先に入場すると　グリーンルームに案内されマイケルジャクソンの歓迎！にはビックリしました。一緒に写真を撮ってもらいました。
ウェルカムシャンパンとつまみを　フラダンサーとお話ししながら頂きました。

しばらくすると　マネージャーが案内のために来てくれました。演者のスケジュールが貼られた廊下を通り　いよいよステージへ。

薄い幕越しに食事中の客席が見えます。ステージのライティングの指示をして　色を変えて見せてくれたり　演者の出入り幕がストレッチであることを教えてくれたり　見たことのない空間でした。

舞台袖には　早変わり用の衣装が沢山置いてあります。それを　各々が自分で本当に短い時間で変えなければならないと説明してくれて　出演者の大変さが　伝わってきました。タヒチアンダンスの大きな髪飾りを被らせてもらいました。大変大きいので　バランスをとりながら踊らなければならないという新しい発見もありました。

2年程前にこのショーを観て　とても感激したので　今回はバックステージツアーにしました。知らない世界を見て　演者さんとの距離が縮まったような気がして　前回以上に楽しむことが出来ました。

ステージの裏側は、日常では見ることの出来ない世界です。とても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。

I participated in the backstage tour and VIP dinner course (front row table seats) with my parents in their 70s. Honestly, I thought it was quite expensive when I signed up, but I'm glad I participated.

Overall, my impression is that the level of the show was very high. The singing was powerful and enjoyable, and the performance quality was impressive. It was not just imitation; the content was quite authentic, and I was entertained until the end without getting bored. The hula dance level was also high and very impressive.

Additionally, the food was delicious! I had low expectations for the meal at a show, but it was very satisfying.

Perhaps because I signed up for this course, I had the best seats right in the center in front of the stage, allowing me to enjoy the show with great intensity. Since photos are also provided for free, I believe it was worth the price overall.

When I asked my parents what they enjoyed the most about this tour, both my father and mother mentioned this show. I enjoyed it myself, but what made me happiest was that my parents had a great time.

I have also participated in the Star of Honolulu dinner show, but I felt that both the quality of the show and the quality of the food were higher here.

I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii. I think it's especially perfect for wrapping up the final day.

バックステージツアー＋VIPコースディナー(ステージ前テーブル席)に
70歳代の両親と一緒に参加しました、申込む時、正直高いな～と思いましたが
参加してよかったです。
全体的な感想として、まずショーのレベルがとても高かったです。
歌唱力が高く聴きごたえあり、パフォーマンス力も高かったです。
ものまねという域ではなく、かなり本格的な内容で最後まで飽きずに楽しめました。
フラダンスのレベルも高くて、とても見ごたえありました。
それと、食事がおいしかったです！
ショーの食事はあまり期待できないイメージですが、とても満足できる内容でした。

このコースで申込をしたからかステージ前ド真ん中の最高の席で
ド迫力でステージを楽しむことができました。
写真も無料でもらえるので、総合すると高い分だけの価値はあると思います。

両親に今回のツアーで何が一番良かったか聞くと
父も母もこのショーを挙げました。
私自身も楽しめましたが、両親が楽しんでくれたのが何よりうれしかったです。

スターオブホノルルのディナーショーにも参加したことがありますが
ショーの質、料理の質、どちらもこっちの方が高かったように感じます。

またハワイに来た時は参加したいと思います。
特に最終日の締めくくりに最適だと思います。
