All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

The food was okay and the show was good. Since the cruise was floating slow we felt seasick.

After meeting up with relatives, we joined the group. We had a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old with us, but they took us on a treasure hunt to keep them entertained, and even when they got fussy during the show, it was fine to soothe them in the aisle!

親戚と現地合流した後、御一行で参加。
3歳と1歳の子連れでしたが、飽きないようにトレジャーハントに連れ出してくれたり、ショーの合間にぐずったときも、通路であやしてても大丈夫でした！

First, we had cocktail service in the VIP room and a commemorative photo with Elvis. There were two groups of Japanese participants. After that, we toured backstage. We received explanations about the dressing rooms and stage equipment, saw the stage costumes worn by Elvis Presley, and took commemorative photos while wearing props! Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious dinner with wonderful performances by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. It was a high-level, fun show with singing, hula dancing, and fire dancing!

I stayed at the Hilton last time as well, and I was curious about the Hawaiian show. I upgraded my seat and was able to enjoy it from a better location. The content of the show was worth it. The fire dance at the end was particularly impressive, and I had a great time.

前回もヒルトンに宿泊しまして、ハワイアンショーが気になっていました。
席もワンランクアップして、 良い席から見ることが出来ました。
ショーの内容は価値あり。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力あり楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

First, we were welcomed with a fun hula at the entrance. The dancers' smiles were dazzling! Then, we enjoyed cocktail service and a commemorative photo in the VIP room. The snacks and champagne were delicious. It was a coincidence that all the participants were Japanese, which made for great conversation. After that, we went on a backstage tour! We got to see the dressing rooms and received explanations about the stage equipment and quick costume changes (about 20 people change at once in this small space. This is how the lights change, etc.). They provided detailed explanations in English. I felt like a cast member of The Lion King when I actually wore the hula decorations, and when I stood in the center of the stage, I could see the audience through the curtain, which was thrilling. Oh, and I learned that the stage costumes are complete replicas of the ones Elvis Presley actually wore, and we were allowed to take photos with them.

As for the show itself, it was incredibly entertaining! This is definitely something you should go see and experience for yourself. I won't go into too much detail. We were fortunate enough to enjoy dinner and the show from the front row. The hula, Michael Jackson, and Elvis performances were all wonderful! While they captured the atmosphere in their appearance, everyone was amazing at singing and dancing. Their spirit of service was excellent, and the cast members made eye contact and waved, which was exciting. I received a fresh flower lei and a kiss from Elvis. We finished with a photo session and autograph signing with the cast!

From the 6:00 PM entrance to around 9:30 PM when we left, we enjoyed a long, rich, and glamorous time.

まず入場口で楽しいフラでのお出迎え～。ダンサーさんの笑顔が眩しい～。
そしてVIPルームでのカクテルサービスと記念撮影。
おつまみもシャンパンも美味しかったです。参加者が偶然日本人の方ばかりで話が弾みました。そのあとはバックステージ見学ツアー♪楽屋の様子をみたり舞台装置や早着替えの様子などの説明（この狭いスペースで20人ほどが一斉に着替えます。ライトはこうやって変えますなど）細かな説明を英語でですが丁寧に説明してくださいました。実際にフラの飾りをつけてライオンキングのキャストになった気分が味わえましたし、舞台の中央に立った時はお客さんが幕の向こうに透けて見えてテンション上がりました。あ、実際にエルビスプレスリーが着たステージ衣装の完全レプリカがステージ衣装だそうで衣装の撮影もＯＫでした。肝心のショーですがとってもエンターテイメント！これはぜひ見に行って体感してみてのお楽しみ(〃艸〃)ﾑﾌｯ詳しい描写はやめておきます。
私たちは何と最前席でディナーとショーが楽しめました。フラもマイケルジャクソンもエルビスも素敵でした♪外見は雰囲気で似せるといった感じですが、皆さん歌もダンスもすごかったです。サービス精神もとっても良くて、キャストさんが視線をくれたり、手を振ってくれたりドキドキしました。エルビスさんからは生花のレイとキスをもらいました。最後はキャストさんとの撮影会＆サイン会でフィニッシュ！
18:00の入場から退場の21:30ごろまで長い時間、リッチでゴージャスな時間が十分楽しめました。

I participated in the Rock-a-Hula show at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, and it was so interesting that I lost track of time. First, I was given priority access and had a photo session while drinking champagne in the green room. After that, I was taken backstage where I got to see costumes and received explanations about the areas behind the stage, which was very informative as it’s not a place you can usually access. Before the show, I enjoyed a delicious course meal from a great front-row seat. The show was entertaining with various costumes and dances. I would definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii.

ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンター内のロック・ア・フラショーに参加してみて、とても面白く時間を忘れてしまうほどであった。まず初めに優先的に案内されて、グリーンルームと呼ばれる控室内でシャンパンを飲みながら写真撮影があった。その後バックステージに案内されて衣装やステージ裏の説明がありなかなか入れない場所を見れてとても参考になった。ショーの前には最前列の良い席でおいしいコース料理を食べれた。ショーは様々な衣装でダンスを踊っているのが面白かった。またハワイに来た際にはいきたい内容であった。

First, let’s review the simple flow of the event:
1. Exchange the voucher and green room pass at the reception.
2. Enter through the VIP course exclusive entrance (with a welcoming hula dance).
3. Enjoy a welcome drink and greet an Elvis impersonator in the green room.
4. Backstage tour.
5. Dinner (including lobster, steak, salmon, etc.) with drinks.
6. Show begins.
7. After the show, greet the cast near the entrance.

"What kind of show is it for $185 per person?"

My wife expressed a rather negative view, mentioning it about ten times from the application stage to the day of the event (laughs). Each time, I talked about the monitor tour and pointed out:
- You’ll have some free time.
- A dinner like this in the heart of Waikiki would cost at least $◯◯◯.
- I believe the show will be satisfying.
- Comparing prices with other shows, not just in Hawaii.

Despite being a first-time participant, I somehow felt inexplicably confident (laughs).

The hula dance reflecting on Hawaii's history, followed by the Elvis impersonator and a glamorous Las Vegas-style show, along with the character of "Little Michael" (we called him Ko-Michael), which brought some laughter, and the fire dance—all of these satisfied us greatly.

Preferences vary from person to person, so take this as a reference.

Finally, as we were leaving after greeting the cast, my wife said one thing:

"I can understand why it’s $185 per person."

It was clear she was quite satisfied, and more than anything, I had an incredibly fun time, making it a wonderful memory.

I want to go again!

まず、簡単な流れから振り返ってみます。
①受付にてバウチャーとグリーン・ルーム・パスを交換
②VIPコース専用エントランスから入場（歓迎のフラダンスあり）
③グリーンルームにてウエルカム・ドリンクとエルビスそっくりさんとグリーティング
④バックステージツアー
⑤ディナー（ロブスター、ステーキ、サーモン等）、ドリンク付
⑥ショー開始
⑦ショー終了後、エントランス付近にて各キャストさん達とグリーティング


「ひとり$185-のショーって、どんなんだろう？」

割と否定的な見解として、申し込む段階から参加当日まで妻から10回近く言われてました（笑）。
その都度、モニターツアーの話をしたり
●ひとりフリーになる
●ワイキキど真ん中で、こんな感じのディナーだと$◯◯◯は最低でもかかる
●ショーもきっと満足できるもの（だと思う）
●ハワイに限らず他のショーとの価格対比など

自分も初参加の割に何故か意味不明の自信がありました（笑）。

スクリーンでハワイの歴史を振り返りつつのフラ、からのエルビスそっくりさん・ラスベガスっぽい煌びやかなショーあり、小マイケル（我々は、こマイケルと呼んでました）の、どこか笑いも誘えるキャラ、またファイアー・ダンスなど、どれもこれも我々を満足させてくれるものでした。

趣味・嗜好は人によって異なるのでご参考程度に。

最後に、キャストさん達とのグリーティングを終えて帰り際に言われた妻からのひと言

「これだったら、ひとり$185-というのも理解できる。」

かなり満足気だったことが途中で丸わかりだったし、何より自分も凄〜く楽しめたので良き思い出となりました。

また行きたいっ！

I participated without much research, having heard from a friend who lives there that it was fun. As a result, I had a very enjoyable time! There were hula performances and shows featuring songs by Michael and Elvis, which were great! I thought the song selection might appeal more to an older audience. I opted for the VIP dinner, and it felt special to eat slowly while waiting for the show right in front of the stage. I definitely recommend the VIP dinner over the buffet! My 5-year-old child was also there and had a great time! ✨

あまり下調べをせず、現地に住んでいた友達から楽しいらしいと聞いて参加しました。
結果 とても楽しい時間を過ごせました！
フラあり マイケルやエルヴィスの歌ショーありとよかったです！選曲とか若干年齢層が高い方のほうがもっと楽しめるのかとも思いました！
食事はVIPディナーにしましたが、会場のステージ目の前でゆっくり食べながらショーの時間を待つという特別な感じで バイキングよりは絶対VIP食事付きのほうがオススメです✨
5歳の子供も同席してましたがとても楽しんでました✨

The shows during the buffet and the rock-a-hula were exciting and enjoyable. After the show, you can take photos with the cast, which I think makes for great memories. However, regarding the buffet menu, it was neither particularly good nor bad.

ブッフェ時のショーやロック ア フラも盛り上がって楽しめました。
ショーの後にキャストと写真も撮ってもらえるのでいい思い出にもなると思います。
ただ、ブッフェのメニューに関しては可もなく不可もなくって感じでした。

If you're going to Hawaii, I recommend doing something you wouldn't normally experience in Japan, so I booked a dinner show! The performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson were enjoyable from start to finish, and I was amazed by the hula dance and its incredible hip movements! The fire dance was also very powerful and impressive! Overall, it was a high-level show that was much more fun than I had imagined. The course dinner was delicious, and the staff who came around to our table were very attentive. I highly recommend the backstage tour with the course dinner! Also, Momo-chan was very cute!

ハワイに行くなら普段日本では体験しないようなことをしようと思い、ディナー付きのショーを予約しました！エルビスとマイケルジャクソンのパフォーマンスは終始楽しく観られましたし、フラダンスも腰の動きがすごくてびっくりしました！ファイアーダンスもとても迫力がありかっこよくて感動しました！！全体的にとてもレベルが高く、想像していたよりとても楽しいショーでした♫コースディナーの料理も美味しかったですし、テーブルをまわってきてくれるスタッフさんたちの対応もとても良かったです。バックステージツアー+コースディナー付きのツアーがおすすめです！あと、モモちゃんがとても可愛かったです！

A great experience. The traditional music, food, atmosphere were all fantastic. Our guide Pua was exceptional. Filled us full of knowledge, most of all she was polite, courteous, personable, and very interactive.

We participated as a family of four. We enjoyed the show, and even our 5-year-old child was dancing along. However, we had reserved a buffet-style meal, but it was set up in a tent outside the theater with long tables, making it feel like a company cafeteria. The food wasn't that great either, so I think it would be best to eat at Wolfgang Puck Steak in the same building and then watch the show.

家族4人で参加しました
シヨーは楽しめました5歳の子供も
一緒になって踊ってました
ただビュッフェタイプの食事付きで予約しましたが劇場外のテントでのビュッフェで長テーブルで まるで社食のようです

The quality of the dance was high, and the singing was impressive, making it a great experience. The cast came down to the audience to shake hands, which was exciting. It was fun to take photos together at the end of the show. The location was good, and we had an early dinner before going. I think the start time was just right.

ダンスのクオリティが高く、歌唱力があり見ごたえがあった。キャストが近くまで舞台を降りて握手に来てくれて盛り上がった。ショーの最後も一緒に写真か取れて楽しかった。立地もよく早目にディナーを取ってから行った。スタート時間もちょうどいい時間だと思う。

Absolutely awesome! Every moment was outstanding and beyond our expectation.

I think it was the right decision to choose this show over the Sunset Dinner Cruise, traditional luau show, and magic show. The Royal Hawaiian Theater is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, Building C. My husband and I booked the backstage tour + VIP dinner (front row table seats). We entered at 6 PM and were taken to a room with sofas where we took commemorative photos with a Michael Jackson impersonator, and after enjoying champagne and snacks, we were given a tour of the actual stage and received explanations about the stage setup.

After that, we had our meal at a table in the first-floor audience area. Our seats were in the center of the front row. The seating arrangement on the first floor was for tables associated with the dinner courses, with the front row reserved for the backstage + VIP dinner course, followed by the VIP dinner course seats behind them. Other course guests were seated on the second floor (without tables).

The meal included shrimp, salmon, and beef steak, along with drinks. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but to my surprise, it was very delicious. The beef steak was a generous size for Japanese people.

The stage featured about eight beautiful female dancers and six male dancers who performed in rotation, including hula dancing and dances to the music. There was also fire dancing. The impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were quite impressive, making for a packed and entertaining show. I had previously seen a popular transgender show in Hong Kong, which only featured lip-syncing to karaoke music, but this was a live performance with two drum sets, electric guitar, bass, and more. I'm not very knowledgeable about music, but I had a great time.

One concern I would like to mention is that the guests in the first-floor seating were still finishing their meals when the guests from the second floor came in, which wasn't pleasant for either party. I hope this point can be improved.

If your budget allows, I recommend choosing the dinner course, as it brings you closer to the stage, and the dancers come right in front of you for photos, plus the food is delicious, leading to a high level of satisfaction.

　このショーとサンセット・ディナークルーズ、伝統ルアウショー、マジックショーといろいろ迷ったのですが、最終的にこのショーに決めて正解だったと思っています。
　ロイヤル・ハワイアン・シアターは、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターＣ棟４階にあります。私たち夫婦は、バックステージツアー＋ＶＩＰディナー（ステージ前テーブル席）コースを予約しました。ＰＭ６時に入場してソファーのある部屋に通されてマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんと記念撮影、そしてシャンパン・おつまみをいただいた後、実際の舞台にあげてもらって舞台装置などの説明を受けました。
　そのあと、観客席1階のテーブル席で料理をいただきました。席は、最前列中央でした。席順は、1階はディナー付のコース用のテーブルのあるスペースで、前列はバックステージ+ＶＩＰディナーコース。その後ろにＶＩＰディナーコース席。その他のコースの方は2階席（テーブルなし）でした。
　料理はエビ、サーモン、ビーフステーキの料理で飲み物付き。正直あまり期待はしていなかったのですが、予想に反してとてもおいしかったです。ビーフステーキは日本人には充分の大きさでした。
　ステージは、美女約８人、男性約６人のダンサーが入れ替わり立ち代わり出演し、フラダンスあり、曲に合わせたダンスあり。ファイヤーダンスあり。プレスリーとマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんもなかなかのもので飽きさせない盛りだくさんのものでした。以前に香港で人気のニューハーフショーを見たのですが、それは口パクでカラオケの音楽で踊るだけだったのですが、これは、生演奏です。ドラム２セット、エレキ、ベースなど。私は音楽には詳しくありませんが、非常に楽しむことができました。
　一つだけ、気になる点を言わせていただければ、１階席の客の食事が終わらないうちに2階席のお客さんが入ってきたのですが、これは双方にとって気分のいいものではないので、この点だけ改善してほしいと思います。
　予算が許せば、ディナー付きのコースを選ばれたほうが舞台に近く、写真のように目の前に踊り子が来てくれたりしますし、料理もおいしいしで満足度が高いと思います。

I had an absolutely amazing time! (laughs)

I was quite nervous at first, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to ride without any issues after just a 5-minute briefing. There were ups and downs, and suddenly we passed through a tunnel in the forest that felt like something out of My Neighbor Totoro, riding on horseback. We climbed rocky areas while keeping an eye on free-range cows—it was quite an adventure! Surprisingly, my backside didn't hurt much at all. I kept saying how fun and interesting it was, and even though the experience was supposed to last an hour, they let us ride for about an hour and a half!

They only spoke English, but they talked slowly and clearly, which actually made it feel more authentic. There were just the two of us and another group, so it felt like a private experience! It had more of a Western vibe than a Hawaiian one, though... (laughs)

Above all, the horses were great, and the danger level was zero (☆∀☆). My wife, who doesn't like animals, was able to pet them normally and felt comfortable! If you sign a waiver for accidents beforehand, you can ride without a helmet (laughs). This explanation was a bit complicated, though...

It was truly a wonderful experience that made me feel like I had the great outdoors all to myself and made me love horses even more!

メチャクチャ楽しんでしまいました!(笑)

I was able to see Waikiki from the sea for the first time. The fireworks from Hilton felt different from those viewed from Hilton Lagoon; it was as if I was monopolizing the fireworks. However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food.

初めて海上からワイキキを観る事が出来ました。
ヒルトンの花火もヒルトンラグーンから観る花火とは違った印象を受けたのは、まるで花火を独占していたかのように感じたからでしょう。
只、食事はあまり期待しない方が良いと思います。

I found the driver/tour guide annoying and condescending. When telling us the time limits he could have scripted better like i.e." we're on a tight schedule and we only have 10 mins on this site so please be back at (state the exact time). He's so full of himself and very scattered with his stories and facts. He didn't even know Hawaii's state bird, he said the white crane. He kept on showing his arm muscles and his jokes were not even funny. He kept on singing, he could just have played any Hawaiian music, he also took jabs at other driver/tour guides.

Since my husband was busy, I mostly searched for and decided on the optional tours myself. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the show; my main goal was dinner. As I researched, I realized that Hawaii is quite expensive. Even a little drink and food at a casual restaurant could easily cost around $50 per person... So, considering the price with the show included, I thought it might be worth it, especially since the reviews were good, and I made the reservation almost on my own.

We chose the most expensive option, the Green Room. First, we were taken to the VIP room, where a beautiful woman welcomed us with a pre-dinner drink and pupu (snacks). Then, Elvis made a grand entrance for a photo opportunity before swiftly leaving, but unfortunately, he didn't resemble him much. While we were waiting, another man appeared to guide us backstage, explaining the dancers' costumes and props as he walked us through the narrow backstage area. I was surprised by how heavy the costumes and props were.

After that, we were shown to our table, right in the front and center. Lobster was already on the table. We enjoyed drinks and the dishes that were brought out one after another. I'm sorry to say that the taste of all the meals, starting from the first pupu, was disappointing (the steak and dessert, the pineapple ice, were delicious).

Once we finished our leisurely dinner, it was showtime. Suddenly, someone descended from above, which surprised us! The Hawaiian show began. The dancers were all handsome and beautiful, and of course, their dancing was wonderful! With Hawaiian music playing, we really felt like we were in Hawaii, and then Elvis appeared again. Michael also made an appearance! He resembled Michael from his childhood (^_^). After a pretty packed show, suddenly a person holding a fire stick appeared. The fire knife dance was truly breathtaking. In the end, everyone waved goodbye with an ALOHA.

To be honest, the impersonators didn't look much like the originals, and some people might not even know who Elvis is, but the performance was fantastic. It was thoroughly enjoyable as entertainment, and I was even more moved since I didn't have high expectations. On our way out, we received the photo with Elvis, and we said goodbye to the performers at the exit. This photo was included, while others had to pay an additional $25, so this package might be a better deal. Furthermore, since we signed up for the monitor experience, we felt like we got even more value.

However, I deducted one star because of the disappointing meal, but I suppose that can be considered part of the Hawaiian experience. My husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic about this tour at first, ended up being more impressed than I was (^_^). For first-time visitors to Hawaii, it's a great way to enjoy the island, and even for those who have been multiple times, it's a wonderful show, so I highly recommend it.

夫が忙しかったため、オプショナルツアーはほとんど私が探して決めました。
正直言ってディナー目的で、ショーにはそれほど期待はありませんでした。
色々調べていると、物価の高いハワイ 。ちょっとしたレストランでちょっと飲んで食べても1人50はいってしまいそう…とするとショー付きでこの金額ならいいかもしれないな〜くらいの気持ちで、口込みの評判が良かった事もありほぼ独断で申し込みました。

私達が選んだのは1番高いGreen Room 。
まずVIPルームに通され、美しい女性に食前酒とププ(おつまみ)でもてなされ、そこへ颯爽とプレスリーが登場し記念写真を撮ってまた颯爽と去って行きましたが残念ながら似ていませんでした。そうこうしていると、別の男性がバックステージの案内に現れて、ダンサーの衣装や小道具の説明をしながら狭いステージ裏を回ります。思いのほか衣装や小道具が重かったのには驚きでした。

それが終わってテーブル席に案内されると、1番前のど真ん中。
すでにロブスターがテーブルに。ドリンクをいただき、次々に運ばれてくるお料理。
ごめんなさい、最初のpupuに始まり全てのお食事の味は残念でした。(ステーキとデザートのパインアイスは美味しかった)

ゆっくりディナーが終わると、ショータイムです。
すると突然上から人がスルスル降りてきてビックリ！ハワイアンショーの始まりです。ダンサーは美男美女揃いで、もちろん踊りも素晴らしい！
ハワイアンミュージックで、ハワイに来たんだ感が盛り上がったところで、さっきのプレスリー登場。
マイケルも登場！子供の時のマイケルに似てました(^_^)
ここまで、けっこう盛りだくさんのショーの後半、突然火の棒を持った人が現れます。
ファイアーナイフダンスは、本当に息を飲む迫力です。
最後に、全員でALOHA〜と手を振りお別れ。
本当のところソックリさんはあまり似ていないし、そもそもプレスリーを知らない人もいるけれど、パフォーマンスは最高です。
エンターテインメントとしては充分楽しめるもので、期待していなかった分余計に感動しました。
帰りに、出来上がったプレスリーとの写真をいただき、出口で出演者たちとお別れ。
この写真は、他のコースの方達は別に25払っていたので込み込みのこちらの方がお得かもしれません。
さらに、私達はモニター体験で申し込んだので、お得感倍増です。

ただ、お食事が残念で星１つマイナスしましたが、それもハワイらしさと思えば良いのでしょう。
初めこのツアーにそれほど乗り気ではなかった夫の方が、私よりも感激していました(^_^)
ハワイ初めての方はハワイを満喫、何度目かの方も素晴らしいショーを堪能できるのでおススメです。

This whole show was amazing and I know I will go back again it was so worth it. If I'd not seen the originals it would be great but having seen them this was absolutely awesome and so much like the originals

My wife and I, both in our forties, took our very first trip to Hawaii, and on the first night, we attended this show with VIP dinner seating. To sum up my feelings in one word: "a series of moving experiences."

First, the VIP dinner. I’m just an ordinary office worker, and participating in a dinner show from a VIP seat is something I’ve never experienced in Japan. It all started with a warm welcome, including a greeting from a star and a welcome drink, showcasing a touch of elegance. Next, we took our seats for dinner. The combination of lobster and tenderloin steak is something you wouldn’t find in Japan. The taste was also GOOD (I struggled a bit with cracking the unfamiliar lobster shell. There was one wet towel at our seat, but it wasn’t enough. My own wet towel came in handy).

Even from the general seating, you can see the performers' faces clearly. We chose the dinner option due to our anxiety about not knowing where to eat on our first day in Hawaii, but there are plenty of places to eat in the heart of Hawaii, and most have Japanese menus. So, for those who want to enjoy the show at a lower price, I think you can have a great time from the general seating without dinner.

The show was very much in line with America's reputation as an entertainment powerhouse. It mainly consisted of "hula dance," "fire dance," and "superstar" performances. While there are hula shows in Japan, the authentic experience is on another level. I could have watched it forever. The fire dance featured performers spinning sticks engulfed in flames with incredible speed, creating a whirlwind of emotion. And then there was the superstar, Michael Jackson, with his sharp dance moves. I never got to see him live, but this was more than enough to get us excited. I highly recommend this show for people of all ages.

アラフォー夫婦２人で人生初のハワイ旅行、その初日の夜にこのショーのディナーＶＩＰ席で参加しました。感想を一言で申せば「感動の連続」です。
先ずはディナー付ＶＩＰ。私は一般的な会社員。ディナーショーをＶＩＰ席で参加など日本では未体験の領域です。スターの出迎え、ウェルカムドリンクなど洒落のきいたおもてなしから始まります。次に席に着いてディナー。ロブスター＆テンダロインステーキという日本ではありえないコラボ。味もＧＯＯＤでした（慣れないロブスターの殻割りに苦戦。濡れおしぼり１枚は席にありましたが、足りない。持参していたＭＹ濡れおしぼりが活躍）
尚、一般席であっても演出者の顔がはっきりわかるくらいの近さです。私達は初のハワイ旅行初日で食事するところが解らないという不安からディナー付を選択しましたが、場所的にハワイの中心地で食べるところは沢山あり、日本語メニューが大多数なのでこのショーを格安で見たい方はディナーなしの一般席でも楽しめると思います。
ショーはエンターテイメント大国アメリカらしいものでした。主には「フラダンス」「ファイアーダンス」「スーパースター」で構成されています。日本でもフラショーはありますが、本場は一味違います。いつまでも見ていたい。ファイアーダンスは炎につつまれた棒を目に止まらぬ早業でくるくると回し、感動の渦でした。そしてスーパースター　マイケルジャクソンのキレッキレのダンス、本人のライブには行けませんでしたが、これで十分に盛り上がることができました。老若男女問わずおすすめしたいショーです。

Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.

I was satisfied to learn about the history and connections through the dances of the Pacific Islands. The fire dance was truly impressive!

太平洋の島々の踊りを通じて、歴史、繋がりを知ることが出来て満足しました。ファイヤーダンスは見応え十分です！

I reserved a ticket because it was highly recommended in Sho Aikawa's book, and I thought, really?? But just as my brother said, it was great!! As soon as I entered the store, a lively Elvis greeted us with a pose. The high level of Elvis's singing, MJ's dancing, the beautiful and fun hula, the impressive fire dance, and the excitement when Elvis came down to the audience to drape leis and scarves over us created a fantastic atmosphere; the hour flew by. Just as Sho Aikawa wrote, I enjoyed a wonderful show. I will definitely go again when I come back to Hawaii!

哀川翔さんの本で、熱く推薦されていたので、ほんと？？と思いながら予約しましたが、兄貴のいうとおり、よかった！！です。お店にはいるや、ギンギンのエルビスがポーズを決めてお出迎え。エルビスの歌唱力の高さ、MJのダンス、フラの美しく楽しい事、ファイアダンスの見事なこと、また、エルビスが客席に降りてきてレイやスカーフをかけてくれるサービスには歓声があがって、大盛り上がり、1時間はあっという間でした。哀川翔さんの書いている通り、素敵なショーを楽しませていただきました。またハワイに来たら行きます！

We participated in the VIP+ Backstage Tour. There were only the two of us on this course! It was a fun and unique experience that gave us a sense of superiority. The delicious cocktails and lobster were amazing! The main dishes—steak, salmon, and truffle potatoes—were all delicious! Unfortunately, since we are not from the Elvis generation, there were many photos of Michael Jackson instead. We enjoyed it from the front row, center seats. The Hawaiian female singer, female dancers, and male dancers were impressive! The dining staff also engaged with us. It felt great. The first photo taken with Elvis was included (which costs 2500 yen if you don't participate in the backstage tour), so it was definitely worth the price.

VIP+バックステージツアーに参加。このコース参加は我々夫婦二人だけ！未体験の初体験で優越感もあって楽しかったです。美味しいカクテル、ロブスター美味しい！メインのステーキ、サーモン、トリュフポテト、全部美味しい！残念ながら、エルビス世代ではないので、やっぱり、マイケル・ジャクソンの写真撮影多数。一番前の中央かぶりつきシートで堪能しました。ハワイアンも女性シンガー、女性ダンサー、男性ダンサー、迫力有り！食事のスタッフも声をかけてくれます。いい感じです。最初にエルビスと撮った写真が含まれていて（バックツアー参加してないと2500円）、価格的には充分な価値有ります。

On October 7th, my wife and I participated during our honeymoon. The location is inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in the heart of Waikiki, which allowed us to enjoy it leisurely after shopping. After checking in, we entered through the VIP entrance and enjoyed a welcome drink and dinner! The food was very good, and there were Japanese staff members, which made us feel at ease! The show featured traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and even an appearance by MJ, which captivated the audience. It was a very exciting and enjoyable time! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

10月7日、新婚旅行中に妻と参加させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあり、ワイキキの中心部ということで買い物終わりにゆっくりと楽しむことができました。
受付を済ませてVIP専用入口から入り、ウエルカムドリンク、夕食を楽しみました！味もとてもよかったうえ、日本人のスタッフもいますので、安心できました！！
ショーは、ハワイの伝統のフラダンスあり、ＭＪ？笑の登場もあり、観客を魅了するショーとなっており、とても盛り上がり、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！

when we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greet us. we then went into the venue for appetizers, which were well presented and very tasty. when we went into the main stage area we could not believe the position of our seat. right in front of the stage. the meal was exquisite and all 4 courses were cooked to perfection. when the show started the production was amazing. it was choreographed like a Broadway show. the Elvis impersonator sounded great and really looked the part. When he went through the crowd during "Suspicious Minds" he kept laughing between lyrics, just like Elvis did in his live performances. a simple touch but excellent attention to detail. We also had a Michael Jackson performer who was also very good and entertaining. His 'Moon Walk' routine was spot on.

Overall it was an exceptional evening out that beat all our expectations

Even the regular seating had great views so it doesn't matter which meal plan you book, just book it you will not be disappointed !!!

Arriving 15 minutes early at the meeting place, I found many tour participants there. Just as I was feeling a bit lost, I heard the clear voice of Kerina, who was wearing a muumuu, and I was able to meet up without any issues. Kerina, reminiscent of Kiyomaro Ayakouji, was an excellent guide, and the bus was filled with laughter. We efficiently visited key points, and I was able to purchase valuable decorations with a warranty, quickly making our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was thrilled to have Kerina as my guide for my first Japanese-language tour. The Polynesian Cultural Center was a place I wanted to visit again on my own due to time constraints. The lunch and dinner were neither particularly good nor bad, but I was moved by the university and palace we were shown before the show. Additionally, I was deeply impressed when I learned about the history of the facility from the volunteer students. I felt very satisfied knowing that what I paid would help the students achieve their goals as I left in the shuttle.

集合場所に15分前に着くと、多くのツアー参加者が居て、迷っていると直ぐにムームーを着たKERINAさんの澄んだ声が聞こえ無事ミート。綾小路きみまろを彷彿とさせるKERINAさんの名ガイドに車内は爆笑の渦に。要所を効率的に回り、貴重な装飾品も保証書付きで安心購入でき、あっという間にポリネシアン文化センターへ。初めての日本語ガイドツアーにKERINAさんが付いてくれて大感激でした。ポリネシアン文化センターは時間不足で今度は個人で来たい施設でした。ランチ、ディナーは可もなく不可もない食事でしたが、ショーの前に案内された大学と宮殿に感動。更にボランティアの学生さんに施設開設の歴史を聞いて大感動。ここで支払ったものが学生さんの目的達成に役立つなら大満足だったと送迎車で後にしました。

The location is the central spot in Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian. When I arrived, there was a hotel staff strike demonstration nearby. I worried about how much inconvenience it would cause for the guests staying there, and feeling down due to the noise, I headed to the venue. When the time came, I was welcomed with fresh hula and Mai Tai drinks. My gloomy mood was instantly lifted, and my excitement for the event reached its peak. I was escorted to the VIP seats by the stage, enjoyed the main dish, and was fully satisfied as the showtime began. The motivation was at its highest during the hula and Elvis shows. Sweet memories of my adolescence resurfaced, and for some reason, tears started flowing uncontrollably! At the exit, I took commemorative photos with the hula girls and Elvis. It was a very satisfying show.

場所はワイキキの中心スポット、ロイヤルハワイアン。ヘーゴッパで向かったところ、周辺ではホテルスタッフのストライキデモ。宿泊のゲストにどれ程の迷惑何だろうか心配し、余りの喧騒に憂鬱になりながら会場へ。時間になると、生フラとマイタイのウエルカムドリンクがお出迎え。憂鬱な気分は即座に払拭され、イベントへの期待感は最高潮へ、ステージサイドのVIP席へエスコートされ、メインディッシュに舌鼓を打ち、腹は満腹で迎えたショータイム。フラやエルビスのショーにモチベーションは最高潮に。思春期の甘い思い出が蘇り、何故か大粒の涙が堰を切って大洪水に！　出口ではフラガールやエルビスと記念写真。大満足のショーでした。

Our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center center was truly amazing. We did splurge on the super ambassador ticket. Which was well worth every penny. We spent the day with Tyrone, he was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we understood everything we were watching or listening too. It started to rain and he ran and supplied us all with rain ponchos. Everyone who worked there were friendly, and knowledgeable about their land. We were there for 8 hours and we could have easily have spent several more hours.
