Oahu
The show was very good, but...
The buffet style lowered the rating.
The food was not that great.
It's very disappointing.
ショーはとても良かったが…
ビュッフェスタイルが評価を下げた。
たいした料理では無かった。
とても残念です。
I arrived a little late, around 6:30 PM, after the check-in time of 6:15 PM, but there was no problem at all, and I made it in time.
After completing the check-in and entering, the first thing you do is take a commemorative photo with a dancer. That photo was sold to us for $25 during the meal.
After the photo session, I received a Mai Tai drink and waited while enjoying chips, macadamia nuts, and fruits before entering the show venue. You can choose between an alcoholic or non-alcoholic Mai Tai.
Once inside the show venue, we were guided to the first-floor seats since we had a course meal. Those with buffet meals were seated on the second floor, but I think the second-floor seats have a better view. The first-floor seats are oriented sideways, while the second-floor seats face forward.
When we sat down, salad, shrimp, and bread were already prepared. Since it includes one drink, we ordered our beverages and started the meal. We arrived about 15 minutes late, so those who came early had already started their meals. The main dish, which included fish and meat, arrived on one plate at the same time. The dessert consisted of two servings of ice cream on finely chopped pineapple. Honestly, I didn't need two of the same dessert; I wanted to try different kinds!
I found the meal to be mediocre. I should have opted for the cheaper buffet meal.
However, I really enjoyed the show itself. Michael didn't quite resemble the original, though. (laughs)
チェックイン時間の18時15分より少し遅れて18時半頃行きましたが全く問題なく間に合いました。
受付を済ませ中に入ると最初にダンサーの方と記念写真を撮られます。その写真は食事中に25ドルで販売しにきました。
写真撮影後マイタイドリンクをもらい、チップスやマカデミアナッツ、フルーツなどを食べながら、ショー会場へ入るのを待つ感じになります。マイタイはアルコールかノンアルコールから選べます。
ショー会場へ入ると、コース料理付きの私達は一階席へ案内されます。ブッフェ料理付きのコースの方達は二階席になりますが、二階席のほうが見やすいと思います。一階席は横向きに見る感じですが、二階席は椅子が正面を向いています。
席に着くと、サラダとエビとパンがすでに用意されてありました。1ドリンク付きなので飲み物を注文し食事開始です。私達は15分ほど遅れて行ったので、早く来た方々はすでに食事開始されていました。メインの魚とお肉は1プレートにのって同時にきます。デザートは細かいパイナップルの上にアイスがのったものが2つ。正直同じデザート2つもいらないです。違う種類のデザートが食べたかった!
私は食事はイマイチでした。安いブッフェ料理付きのコースにすれば良かったです。
ショー自体はすごく楽しめました。マイケルが微妙に似ていませんでしたが。笑
When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.
日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。
The flair show you usually see is on a completely different level of intensity. It was disappointing to have a lot of waiting time after entering. I wish there had been a bit more time to enjoy the meal.
普段見るフラショーとは迫力が格段に違います。
入場してから、待ち時間が多かったのが残念です。もう少し食事を楽しむ時間があればいいなと思いました。
I really wanted to see an Elvis show while staying in Hawaii. I googled Elvis shows and this one had excellent ratings. We booked the Luau Buffet and show. When we got there we were taken to our seats. Everyone was really nice. They start everyone with a Mai Tai that was really good. We then started the buffet line. The food was great quality & really good. My husband & I enjoyed it very much. During dinner there was a little hula show. It was very fun to watch our server dancing! She was great! After dinner we were escorted to the theater. I was very surprised by the venue. It didn’t seem like it was very big from the outside but once we got in I was pleasantly surprised!! The show was absolutely amazing!! Each performer was outstanding. Every detail about the show was right on point; the band, the dancers, the choreography, the costumes, the singers and the impersonators!! I really enjoyed it! We loved that they also have a meet & greet after the show. I would recommend this show 100%!!
This was my first time, and my partner had participated about ten years ago. We arrived early but were allowed into the venue. First, we headed to the buffet area. It felt like the Japanese attendees were gathered at the back of the line.
The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It was pleasantly sweet and delicious. Next, the whole roasted pig was brought out, which really raised the excitement.
We lined up to get our food, but we had to wait quite a bit. It felt very American in that regard. In Japan, staff would guide you based on how quickly the line was moving, and you wouldn't have to wait in line holding heavy plates. But here in sunny Hawaii, you shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
The food included vegetable salad, macaroni salad, glass noodle salad, marinated tomatoes and salmon, teriyaki chicken, white fish curry, and the whole roasted pig, among a few other dishes. Everything was decent, but I particularly enjoyed the white fish curry.
As we continued eating, desserts were served: rainbow sherbet, chocolate cake, and cookies. There was also coffee and tea. I only had the chocolate cake, but I thought it was not too sweet for Hawaii and quite tasty. The coffee was Kona coffee, which I enjoyed with the cake.
During the meal, there was live ukulele music and singing. The staff, dressed in hula costumes, created a great atmosphere! There are plans with and without meals, but the difference is about $30. If you're purely considering the food, you might think the no-meal option is fine, but if you factor in the atmosphere and the excitement of the show, I think the meal option is better.
However, the dining area is under a tent. If it rains, it could really dampen the mood. Rain might come in from the sides, and it could be hard to hear the live performance. I've heard that Hawaii has been experiencing more rain lately due to weather changes, so it’s a matter of luck.
After the meal, we moved to the show venue.
At the entrance, there was the usual photo opportunity. You can purchase the photos on your way out, but we were in a hurry to find a restroom due to the alcohol, so we didn’t buy any. I’m not sure how much they cost.
We took a photo with an Elvis impersonator and then headed to our seats. The first floor was occupied by those who had the most expensive meal plan. We were seated on the second floor. The middle seats would have been ideal, but they seat you in the order you enter, so it’s a matter of luck. We ended up in the middle of the third row. There was a good step up, so we didn’t have to worry about the heads in front of us.
Finally, the show began. There were screens on both sides and at the back, and the performance started with hula dances and costumes from different eras, accompanied by old footage of Hawaii. It felt like there was a history to both Hawaii and hula! The music, costumes, and dances changed with the eras, revealing a history I was completely unaware of, which was a bit moving.
The show transitioned from the Elvis era to a mix of Elvis and hula, then to Michael Jackson. A female singer also appeared, and rather than an impersonator, she seemed to be a Hawaiian music singer. I was overwhelmed by her singing ability.
Since I’m not from the Elvis generation, I can’t say how similar she was. The same goes for Michael Jackson; I knew the songs, but I’m not sure about the impersonation. For those who know dance, the quality would be evident, but as an amateur, I enjoyed it. Both performances were well integrated with video footage of the original artists, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
I had given up on seeing fire dancing indoors, but there it was! Seeing fire live is truly impressive. The hula costumes changed frequently, and the singing was satisfying, making the time fly by.
Initially, I had heard it was an impersonation show, so I honestly didn’t have high expectations, but I got to learn about the history of hula, experienced a fusion with Elv
私は初めてで相方は10年ほど前に参加経験ありです。
集合時間より早くに着きましたが会場に入れました。まずはビュッフェ会場です。日本人は各々の後尾に集められた感あります。
ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールとノンアルが選べます。程よい甘さで美味しかった。
次に豚の丸焼き登場でテンション上がります。
順番に並んでお料理を頂くのですが、結構並んで待ちました。そこはアメリカンな対応だなって。日本だったら進み具合を見ながらスタッフが誘導し、重い皿を持ったまま並ぶことにはならないでしょうね。でもここは常夏ハワイ。細かいことは気にしたらダメです。
お料理は野菜サラダ、マカロニサラダ、春雨サラダ、トマトとサーモンのマリネ、照り焼きチキン、白身のカレー風、豚の丸焼きとあと数品あったと思います。どれもまあまあですが、私は白身のカレームニエルが美味しかったです。
食事が進むとスウィーツが登場します。レインボーシャーベット、チョコケーキ、クッキーです。あとコーヒーと紅茶もありました。私はチョコケーキだけ食べましたが、ハワイの割にそんなに甘くなく美味しいと思いました。コーヒーもコナコーヒーでケーキと一緒に頂きました。
食事中ウクレレの生演奏と生歌。スタッフがフラの衣装で雰囲気は十分!
食事ありとナシのプランがありますがその差30ドルくらい。純粋に食事だけ考えるとナシでもいいかなって思えますが、雰囲気とショーへのテンションも考えるなら食事ありの方がいいと思いました。
ただ食事会場はテント下です。もしスコールがあったらテンションだだ落ちでしょう。横から雨が降り込んだり、生演奏が聞こえにくかったりしそう。最近のハワイは気象の変化で雨が多いらしいので、これは運でしょうね。
食後はショー会場へ移動します。
入り口でありがちな写真撮影です。帰りに購入することになるのでしょうけど、私たちはアルコールのおかげでトイレに急いでたので購入せずです。いくらかもわかりません。
プレスリーのそっくりさん(?)と写真を撮って客席に行きます。1階では一番お値段の上のコースの方たちが食事中でした。私たちは2階席です。真ん中の席が良いでしょうが、入った順番に座らせられるのでこれも運です。私たちはちょうど3列目の真ん中でした。しっかり段差があるので前の方の頭は気になりません。
いよいよショーです。
両サイドと正面奥にスクリーンがあり、昔のハワイの映像とともにその年代であろう衣装とフラのダンスが始まりました。
ハワイの歴史とフラにも歴史あり!って感じで年代によって音楽や衣装、ダンスにも変化がありました。全然知らなかった歴史が垣間見えて少し感動しました。
プレスリーの年代からプレスリーとフラのショーでマイケルジャクソンと移っていきます。女性シンガーも登場しますが、その方はモノマネというよりハワイアンミュージックのシンガーなのでしょう。歌唱力に圧倒されました。
プレスリー世代ではないので似てるかはわかりません。マイケルジャクソンも微妙ですが歌は知ってました。ダンスは見る人が見たらクオリティが分かるでしょうが、素人の私は楽しめる程度でした。どちらもスクリーンに本人の映像とコラボしてて雰囲気はバッチリでした。
室内なので諦めてたファイアダンスもありました。やっぱりファイアは生で見ると圧倒されます。
フラの衣装も次々変わっていき、歌も十分聴きごごたえありであっという間に終わってしまいました。
私ははじめモノマネショーと相方に聞いていたので正直期待してなかったのですが、フラの歴史に触れられて、プレスリーやマイケルとも融合し女性シンガーの歌にも圧倒され価値あるエンターテイメントだったと思います。
相方は10年前の記憶があるので昔はもっとマドンナとかもいてて、今回はクオリティが下がったと言ってました。
モノマネショーをメインで思うなら物足りないかもしれませんが、私はポリネシアンショーが好きなので大満足です。ぜひもう一度参加したいですし、お値段以上の価値はあったと思いました。おススメです!
On June 27, we arrived in Hawaii and participated as a three-generation family (ages 55, 31, and 2). We started the buffet with pineapple and Mai Tai, and every dish was delicious. During the meal, the staff entertained us with dances and ukulele performances. Once we entered the theater, my 2-year-old grandchild, who was initially scared in the dark, started dancing to the music as the show began and seemed to have a great time. An Elvis Presley impersonator even came up to the second floor and shook hands with my grandchild. It really felt like we had come to Hawaii, and we were very satisfied with how we spent our first night.
6月27日、Hawaii到着の日に
母娘3世代(55歳・31歳・2歳)で参加しました。
ビュッフェは、パイナップルとマイタイからスタートし
どの料理も美味しくいただきました。
食事中は、スタッフの方々がダンスやウクレレなどで盛り上げてくれます。
劇場の中に入ると、最初は暗い中で怖がっていた2歳の孫も
ショーが始まると音楽に合わせて踊り出し、楽しんでいたようです。
そして、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんが2階まで来て
孫に握手をしてくれました。
Hawaiiに来た!という実感がわき
初日の夜の過ごし方としては大満足でした。
Great food, great service. The only thing I might add is to provide something to crack open the lobster
I wanted to see some kind of show when I went to Hawaii, so I attended the Rock-a-Hula show, which also included a buffet. The location was easy to find on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and it was convenient for using the trolley afterward, which was reassuring. We ate at the buffet under the tent on the terrace before moving to the show venue. The meal started with a Mai Tai drink, and they asked whether we wanted it alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The staff guided each table in turn to the buffet. While we were eating, we could enjoy dancing and singing, which heightened the feeling of being in Hawaii. The show had free seating in the second-floor section. Video and flash photography were not allowed, but taking photos was okay. An Elvis impersonator came around, which was a bit challenging for everyone, but it was fun. The dancers changed costumes quickly and performed energetically. If you mainly want to see hula dancing, you might find it a bit different. However, as a show, the dancing was excellent, and I enjoyed it without getting bored until the end, which left me satisfied. After the show, they also took photos and signed autographs in the lobby, providing excellent service.
ハワイに行ったら何らかのショーをみたいと思っていたのでビュッフェもついているロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階でわかりやすく、終わった後もトローリーなどの利用に便利な場所なので安心でした。テラスのテントでビュッフェで食べてからショーの会場へ移動します。食事は最初にマイタイのドリンクがでますが、アルコールかノンアルコールか聞いてくれます。係りの方がテーブルごとに順番にビュッフェ台に行くよう案内してくれます。食べいる間も踊りや歌がみられハワイに来た気分が高まりました。ショーは2階席で自由席。動画とフラッシュ使用はNGですが写真撮影はOKでした。エルビスのそっくりさんも全員には難しいですが、まわって来てくれました。ダンスは早着替えで踊りまくり。フラダンスをメインで観たい方はちょっと違うと思われるかもしれません。がショーとしてはダンスも上手で飽きる事無く最後まで楽しめて満足しました。ショーの後もロビーで写真やサインもしてくれてサービス満点です。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you next visit Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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。
If you want a typical Hawaiian luau this show is not for you. But if you enjoy music going as far back as the 1930's then this show is highly recommended. Most of the music was done by Elvis and Michael Jackson. The performers were great. The fire dance was great but was very short/limited. The performance was done indoors in a theater with theater seating which was great but again if you want to experience an outdoor luau this show is not for you.
The location of the show is in the heart of Waikiki Beach on the 4th floor of a mall. We drove from Marriott Ko olina Resort which is about 20 miles away and took is about 45 minutes to get to the show. So if you are planning to come from the Ko olina/Aulani Resort area plan to drive for 45-60 minutes. There is ample parking to self-park. The parking is free for the 1st 3 hours with validation. After the show you can walk around in the area for shopping. The check in experience was great and was very fast. All the workers were very helpful and hard working. The food was simple, tasty and healthy, especially the curry fish.
overall my family and I enjoyed this show and would recommend it to others.
My family and I had a great experience and would recommend this show.
I participated in this tour alone but I had a lot of fun there! There were many activities, performances, and exhibitions. I stayed there over 9 hours and I was so satisfied with the tour!
We participated for the first time as a family of three generations: parents, a couple, and children. Although we had reserved Golden Circle seats, it seems we were shown to regular seats. When it was time to eat, we were kept waiting, which made us anxious, so we asked, and it turned out we were not in the Golden Circle seats (the ray was cast over everyone).
In a hurry, we were finally guided to the actual Golden Circle seats, but the buffet had a long line. In the end, we ended up getting our food last, which was very disappointing. It seemed that we were supposed to receive select drink tickets at the beginning, but we were not given those tickets, so our drink orders were also delayed.
I had high hopes for this commemorative trip with my parents, but our enjoyment was halved. The show itself was entirely in English, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere.
両親、夫婦、子供3世代で初めて参加しました。ゴールデンサークルを予約していたものの、案内されたのは普通の席だったようです。
食事を取る時に、待たされての案内だったので、不安になって聞いてみると、ゴールデンサークルの席ではないとの事。(レイは全員にかけられました。)
慌てて本来のゴールデンサークル席に案内されたものの、ビュッフェは長蛇の列。結局最後の方に食事を取るような形で大変残念でした。
セレクトドリンクのチケットも最初にもらえるようでしたが、そのチケットも渡されていなかったので、ドリンクオーダーも遅くなりました。
両親を連れての記念旅行だったので期待していましたが、楽しみは半減しまた。ショー自体は全て英語でしたが、雰囲気は楽しめました。
This was a last minute thing that we decided to do - and we're sure glad that we did.
Was a great night with good food and good entertainment to follow. Rose was our server and what a fantastic job she did, she had a number of tables to look after (as servers do over there) yet she gave intimate tables of two just as much as large group tables.
Overall a well run experience from pickup to drop off couldn't fault it at all
This time, I used the Terrace Luau Buffet & Show. After arriving, I had the buffet on the terrace of the Hawaiian Center. There were about 10 dishes, including roast beef, huli huli chicken, and whole roasted pig, which left me completely full. Additionally, during the meal, I was able to enjoy ukulele performances and dance close to my seat. After that, we moved to the show venue, and we had seats right in the middle of the second floor! It was very easy to see. The show included rock music, hula, and fire dancing, and I was able to enjoy it all the way to the end without getting bored. I was moved by the performances of Michael Jackson and Elvis. Being able to see authentic hula made for a wonderful memory!
今回、テラスルアウビュッフェ&ショーを利用しました。到着後、ハワイアンセンター屋上のテラスでビュッフェを食べました。料理の品目は10品ほど、ローストビーフやフリフリチキン、豚の丸焼きなどもあり、充分お腹いっぱいになりました。また、食事中も席の近くでウクレレと演奏とダンスを楽しむことができました。その後、ショーの会場へ移動したのですが、2階席のど真ん中!とても見やすい席でした。ショーの内容は、ロック有り、フラ有り、ファイヤーダンス有りでまったく飽きないまま、最後まで楽しむことができました。マイケルジャクソンやエルビスのパフォーマンスには感動。本場のフラを見ることもでき、とても良い思い出になりました!

The tour guide was wonderful lots of stories funny and knew lots of history. I enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center as well all the different cultures was interesting and fun at the same time. Great time for the whole day of staying busy.
Entertainment was great. There was always something going on if you don't be careful you will miss the sunrise. I was beautiful.
By booking this tour, even if you're not a VIP, you can see from the front row on the second floor, which was great! ✨ However, if you want to be in the front row, be careful to line up early after finishing your meal. ⚠
このツアーから予約すると、VIPじゃなくても、2階の最前列で見れるのでよく見れました✨ただ、最前列に行きたければ食事を済ませたら、早く並ばないといけないので注意⚠
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.

We went for my daughter's graduation, we had a great time. The food was ok, but the performances and audience involvement made up for it. My kids really enjoyed it! The sunset was amazing!!! This is a must do activity.
I arrived at the venue at 6:30 and was first guided to the buffet. I sat at a long table and waited for my turn to go to the food table. I could choose from about ten different dishes, including green salad, macaroni salad, sautéed sweet potatoes, curry-cooked white fish, and chicken. The photo shows all the dishes I took a little bit of on two plates. The roast beef and pork were really delicious.
At 7:30, the show began. It was incredibly fun. There were performances featuring nostalgic songs from Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, along with hula dancing. Michael Jackson's performance was particularly impressive; his moonwalk was very skillful and moving. The hula and Tahitian dance segments were short but very authentic and enjoyable to watch. I was seated near the center, which was a great spot, allowing me to enjoy the show even more.
I’m really glad I got to see this show.
6:30に会場に到着してから、まずはビュッフェへ案内されました。長いテーブルに座って順番がくるまで待ち、料理のあるテーブルへ。グリーンサラダ、マカロニサラダ、さつまいものソテー、白身魚のカレー煮、チキンなど10種類くらいから選びます。写真は二枚の皿に全ての料理を少しずつ持ってきたものです。ローストビーフとポークは本当に美味しかったです。
7:30からはショーへ。これはとてもとても楽しかったです。懐かしのマイケル・ジャクソンやエルヴィス・プレスリーの歌とフラダンスのショー。特にマイケル・ジャクソンは圧巻で、ムーンウォークはとても上手で感動的でした。フラダンスとタヒチアンダンスの部分も、短かったですが、とても本格的で見ごたえがありました。席は優先的にセンター付近に案内してくれました。本当にど真ん中のとても良い席で、ますますショーを楽しむことができました。
今回このショーを見れて本当に良かったです。

As the title suggests, it was the best show performance! First, we enjoyed a buffet featuring Hawaiian food. During the meal, there was a live ukulele performance, which really made me feel like I was in Hawaii. After the meal, we moved to the venue for the much-anticipated show. The impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson had the audience really excited with their authentic singing and dancing. I was especially thrilled to see Michael Jackson! Additionally, we got to see many performances unique to Hawaii, such as hula and fire dancing, and I truly felt it was worth signing up for. I was so moved that I plan to see it again the next time I visit Hawaii. Highly recommended!
(予約番号 4426313)
題名の通り、最高のショーパフォーマンスでした!まずはハワイアンフードが堪能出来るブッフェを頂きました。
お食事中は生のウクレレ演奏があり、改めてハワイに来たんだなという気分にさせてくれます。
食事後は会場に移動し、待望のショーです。プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが、本格的な歌やダンスで会場はかなり盛り上がりました。特にマイケル・ジャクソンが観たかったので、とてもテンションが上がました!
そのほか、フラやファイヤーダンス等ハワイならではのパフォーマンスもたくさん観ることができ、本当に申し込んで良かったと感じました。次回、またハワイ を訪れた際にはまた観ようと思うほど、感動したショーでした。
オススメです!

We went along to this night not knowing a lot about the performance, other than it was in a very convenient location for us and that it was a very reasonable price. We left being blown away by the sheer professionalism, talent and wow factor of the performers and entire evening.
The pre show dinner was tasty and filling, the service friendly & prompt.
The show was in a lovely theatre with exceptional stage and lighting setup and from the moment the show started our eyes were glued to the stage.
The singers and dancers never missed a beat or note, the lighting was beautiful and the music fun and fabulous. We enjoyed the range of pop performers throughout the eras with Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators as stand out performers! Even at the meet and greet afterwards Michael was perfectly in character - when I asked him how long his show makeup took he replied in a wonderfully accurate voice "makeup? What makeup??"
The fire dancer was also phenomenal with even bar staff remarking that they tried to align their breaks with his performance to go watch from the back of the theatre! Who needs to go to an overpriced louwow when you've got wonderful traditional hula dancers and performers right here.
5 stars - all round a phenomenal night and a "must see" for all visitors!
The personal attention that you receive during the dinner and pre-show entertainment made you feel so special. The staff remembered your name and details about you — such as where your from, the drinks you like, etc was above and beyond. The food was delicious. My daughter is a vegetarian and they went out of their way to create a vegetarian plate just for her!! The food options on the buffet were all delicious. Both the prime rib and the pork melted in your mouth.
Once we were seated in the theater the videos enriched the show. One of my favorite parts was how the hula girls appearance changed throughout the decades. Elvis was great and Michael Jackson was very impressive. It was more like a musical show than I expected. It was a great surprise. Best night I had in Waikiki ,,,
Food was wonderful and show was even better! VELTRA supplied all details before hand making it an easy going night for us! Also great if planning a family night and service was amazing
Aloha JV,
Thank you for being our guest!
I didn't have high expectations for the buffet, and it was just average. The only thing I thought was delicious was the pineapple. There were also few options.
Since there are many restaurants on Oahu, I initially planned not to include meals, but since it was a monitor deal, I opted for the meal plan. My family also said the buffet was mediocre.
The show was great! The dancers and singers were skilled, and the scenes changed frequently, so I didn't get bored watching. I was also happy to see the fire dance, even though it was just one person. Our seats were on the second floor, but we were in the front row in the center, so we had a great view.
Even though it was on the second floor, it wasn't too high, so it might be easy to see from any seat. If you choose the buffet option, you can sit towards the front on the second floor. Those who only reserved for the show sit behind that. I thought it would be enjoyable even just for the show.
ブュッフェの食事内容は、期待していませんでしたが、普通でした。美味しいと思うものはパイナップルくらいでした。種類も少なかったです。
オアフ島はたくさんレストランがあるので、食事付きにしないつもりでしたが、モニターだったので、食事付きプランにしました。家族もブュッフェは微妙と言ってました。
ショーはよかったです! ダンサーやシンガーの方も上手で、場面が色々かわるので、見ていて飽きなかったです。ファイヤーダンスも1人ですが、見れてうれしかったです。席も2階でしたが最前列中央でみれて、よく見えました。
2階といってもそこまで高さはないので、以外とどの席でも見やすいかもしれません。
ブュッフェ付きにすると、2階の前の方でみれます。
その後ろにショーのみの予約の方が入ります。
ショーだけでも楽しめるかなと思いました。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.

Thank you for allowing me to participate in this tour.
First of all, the buffet was excellent; the roast beef was tender and very delicious. I took too much on my first round and couldn't go back for more.
During the meal, there was a hula dance experience, and even the men were dancing.
As for the show, the lighting was impressive, and while it may be obvious, the singing abilities of each performer were outstanding and moving.
If I participate again, I think it would be nice to have dinner next time as well.
今回、このツアーに参加させて頂きましてありがとうございました。
まず、ビュッフェですがローストビーフが柔らかくてとても美味しかったです。一回目で取りすぎてしまいお替りできないほどでした。
食事の公判ではフラダンス体験がありました。男性の方も踊っていらっしゃいました。
ショーですが、照明もものまねのそっくりなのですが、当たり前かもしれませんが各歌手の歌唱力が素晴らしく感動しました。
また、参加するとしたら次回はディナーもいいかなと思いました。

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!
There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.
We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!
The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.
The day was long, but so worth it!
My friend and I had such a totally awesome night at Rock-a-Hula, and want to go see it again! We got the VIP dinner show, and it was fantastic. From beginning to end, we were treated like VIPs, and couldn't have asked for better service, food or entertainment.
The cocktail and appetizer reception before the theater doors opened was a great prelude to our evening, and their original mai tais were really yummy too. So many delicious things to nibble on that I had to be careful and not get too full before dinner! Oh and dinner, salad, steak, lobster and dessert...so.... tasty! Plus our server was so attentive and awesome :)
Our VIP seats go us close to the stage so we had an amazing view of the performance, and man was it awesome! Elvis, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, all on one stage for a seriously rockin' evening. The woman who played Katy Perry was my favorite! Not only did she look and sound exactly like her, but she was the sweetest person too!
The fire knife dance was scary awesome, and the perfect topper to a great night. Perfect option if you just want a fun time in Waikiki!
If you've been to a luau before and want to see another dinner show that isn't exactly a luau, this will probably fit the bill. There's plenty of Hawaiian entertainment and a buffet similar to what you'd find at a luau, but generally speaking this is a more "American" dinner show, like one you'd find in Las Vegas.
The featured stars are Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and HIRIE, a local artist, but there are also a variety of dances, including Polynesian and contemporary choreography. Hirie performed some of her own hits as well as newer songs such as "How Far I'll Go" from the movie Moana!
There's also the hula, Tahitian, and fire knife dancing that you'd normally see at a luau, but there's a good balance of traditional and contemporary. This is an awesome alternative if you've already been to the other luaus in Waikiki.
This was my second time at Chief's Luau and I got say... i love the new location. The new venue is so beautiful. Chief Sielu is the best luau host in Hawaii, he is funny, entertaining and for sure he is what makes this luau so special. The dancers and the musicians are really good and the fire-knife dance is breath taking. The food is delicious and the buffet has a lot of variety. It was a lovely evening and I recommend this luau to everyone, specially families and couples.
The food and service were great. We had the luau-style buffet dinner and everything was delicious, especially the whole roasted pig. A luau cannot be complete without it! The hula dancers and musicians were also very fun and friendly. The show dancers were so talented too. Especially Elvis, he even went into the audience at one point and interacted with some of the crowd! Adding a local singer to the mix was a nice touch as well. It gave a more authentic feel that you are in Hawaii as she sang along with Elvis and Michael Jackson. The evening show was a wonderful way to end the night. I highly recommend this show if you are looking a lively, entertaining night in Honolulu!
