All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.

I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.

I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.

I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!

Friday night firework dinner cruise was fantastic.
Drinks, music, food, picturesque views of the city, mountains, and ocean. Sat on the front of the boat outside with my wife and 2 teenage boys.
A memory that’s hard to recreate. I read reviews prior to the trip and saw griping about the food.
Ridiculous in my opinion. If you want gourmet food then go to a 5 Star restaurant. If you want the memory of a sunset cruise on a catamaran with fireworks, alcoholic beverages, music, and fun people the. I recommend

Watching the fireworks from the sea on Friday was such a luxury. The yacht cruiser was comfortable and didn't sway much. The food wasn't gourmet, but there was plenty of it, and drinks were generously unlimited. Above all, the captain and the crew were all fantastic.

金曜日の花火を洋上から見るなんてとても贅沢でした。
ヨット・クルーザーはさして揺れることもなく快適で、
料理は高級ではないが、量は十分あり、飲み物もご厚意で飲み放題でした。
何より船長はじめ乗組員は皆様最高です。

I had a great time!

We participated as a group of five from three generations: my grandparents in their 70s, my parents, and my 2-year-old child. The meeting time was at 6:30, but since we arrived early, we went to the venue around 6:00. By then, the hula dancers were already performing. After a while, we were guided to the dining area. The waiting time was enjoyable with songs and dances, so we weren't bored at all.

Since my child was only 2 years old, we were told there wouldn't be a seat for them, but because we arrived early, they prepared a seat for us at the end. The dining style was such that we were called in order to get our food.

During the rock and hula show, Elvis Presley kisses audience members. If you're lucky, you might get a kiss! At the end, there was also plenty of time to take photos with Elvis and others, so we were able to take pictures with everyone without rushing.

There is also a service where you can buy a group photo and get autographs. I received autographs from everyone, which is a wonderful memory. My parents in their 70s were happy to hear songs they knew.

とても楽しかったです(^-^)

私たちは3世代五人、70代のじじ、ばば、親、子供（2歳）で参加しました。
集合時間が6:30だったのですが、早めに着いたので6時頃に会場まで行きました。すると既に、フラダンサーの方々が踊りのパフォーマンスをしていました。そして、しばらくして食事の会場に案内してくれました。待ち時間も歌や踊りで楽しませてくれて退屈はしませんでした(^-^)

子どもが２歳だったので席がないとの事でしたが、早めに着いたので端の席を用意していただき、席も作ってくれました。
食事は順番に案内されて取りに行くスタイルでした。

ロックアフラショーはエルビスプレスリーが観客にキスをしてくれます。運が良ければキスしてもらえるかもしれません(^-^)
最後にエルビスなどと、写真を撮る時間もゆっくりあるので、急がなくても全員と写真が撮れました(^-^)

グループ写真を買うとサインをしてくれるサービスもあります。私はみんなからサインを頂いてきました。とてもいい思い出です。70代の両親も知ってる歌ばかりでよかったと喜んでくれました。

Since it was my third consecutive trip to Hawaii, this time I wanted to experience something different with two ladies in their 60s, so we chose the "Rock-a-Hula Show." When we arrived about five minutes before the meeting time, I was surprised to find the dining area completely full and that everything had already started! Therefore, we ended up sitting at the very end, which was a bit disappointing. However, the whole roasted pig was incredibly tender, juicy, and delicious, and the other dishes were also satisfying. The show in the theater was truly wonderful and very engaging. Even though the impersonator of Elvis, who we remember from our youth, was just a look-alike, the quality was high, and we enjoyed it immensely. The hula and fire dance really enhanced our first night in Hawaii. I recommend that anyone participating in the tour arrive at least 20 minutes early. This way, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace and choose better seats for the show.

３年連続のハワイ旅行だったので、
今回は６０代のおばさん２人旅で今までとは違うものを味わいたいと思い、
「ロック・ア・フラショー」を選びました。
集合時間の５分ほど前に行くと、食事の会場は満席で、
すでにすべてが始まっている状態でビックリ！
ですから、一番端の席でちょっとがっかりしましたが、
初めてのまるごと豚のローストはお肉がとても柔らかく、
ジューシーで美味しかったですし、
その他のお料理も満足のいくものでした。
劇場でのショーは大変すばらしく、見ごたえがありました。
マイケルや６０代の私たちには記憶のあるプレスリーもそっくりさんとはいえクオリティーが高く大いに楽しめました。
フラもファイヤーダンスもハワイの初日の夜を盛り上げてくれました。
ただ、ツアーに参加する方は少なくとも２０分くらい前に行くことを
おすすめします。
食事もゆっくりできますし、ショーの席もいい所を選べるので。

We booked the Terrace Luau Buffet & Show. At the terrace, we first enjoyed cheerful songs and dances while having complimentary cocktails (non-alcoholic options are available) and pineapple. Then, the whole roasted pig made its appearance! Not only was it visually impressive, but it also tasted great.

The instructions for going to the buffet and the theater were all in English, but it was manageable (laughs). The show was packed with performances, featuring hula, Elvis, and Michael! I even got to shake hands with Elvis, who came up to the second-floor seats.

While Elvis and Michael didn't look exactly like the originals, the quality of the show was high, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Time flew by, and we had a wonderful night in Hawaii!

私たちはテラスルアウビュッフェ＆ショーを申し込みました。
テラスではまず陽気な歌と踊りを楽しみながら無料のカクテル（ノンアルコールも選べます）とパイナップルをいただきます。すると、豚の丸焼きが登場！見た目のインパクトもさることながら、味もとてもよかったです。
ビュッフェを取りに行く順番や劇場への案内はすべて英語でしたが、なんとかなります(笑)
ショーは、フラありエルビスありマイケルありで盛りだくさん！
二階席まで上がってきてくれたエルビスと握手できました。
エルビスやマイケルは、そっくり…というわけではないのですが…、ショーとして質が高く、雰囲気で楽しめます。あっという間に時間は過ぎて、楽しいハワイの夜を堪能できました！

I thought it was just an impersonation show of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but it was much more than that. It was an enjoyable experience that mixed visuals, various genres of music, and dance all the way to the end. The beauty of Hawaiian music and hula dancing was conveyed, and I had a precious time that I could only experience here. Personally, I was constantly overwhelmed by the sharpness of the dancers' movements.

エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのものまねショーだと思っていたら、それだけではなく、映像や色々なジャンルの音楽やダンスなど織り交ぜながら最後まで楽しめる内容でした。また、ハワイアン音楽やフラダンスの素晴らしさが伝わり、ここでしか味わえない貴重な時間が過ごせました。個人的には、ダンサー達の動きの切れの良さに圧倒させられっぱなしでした。

I requested to cancel my reservation at the last minute due to health issues, and thanks to the wonderful arrangement by the staff, I was able to change my schedule to the next day. Thank you so much. Thanks to that, I was able to participate in the terrace dinner and the rock and flash show, regaining my energy. It became a memorable night along with the commemorative photo ($25). I am grateful!

体調崩して直前の予約キャンセルを申し出たところ、なんとスタッフさんの素敵な計らいで翌日に日程の変更をしていただきました。ほんとうにありがとうございました。おかげさまで、テラスディナーもロック&フラショーも元気を取り戻して参加することができました。記念の写真($25)と共に良き想い出の一夜になりました。感謝で〜す。

I enjoyed a meal while watching a Hawaiian dance (hula?) and then relaxed while watching an impersonation show, fully enjoying the Hawaiian night. Since it was located in a shopping center in the downtown area, you can go there even after shopping.

ハワイアンダンス（フラ？）を見ながら食事をとり、そのあとゆっくりものまねショウを見て、ハワイの夜を満喫しました。
中心街にあるショッピングセンターにあったので、買い物の後でも行けますよ。

Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.

Since we decided to meet on-site, I will head to the venue by 6:30 PM. If you show your reservation screen at the reception, they will guide you. First, we will toast with a welcome drink, then enjoy a buffet while listening to music and watching hula performances. The dining area is right next to the reception, not inside the venue.

I thought it might be fine not to include a meal, but since there will be hula performances during the meal and the people who bring drinks are also part of the show, I think it would be nice to remember their faces for a different kind of enjoyment during the show.

After the meal, we will enter the venue and freely look at the exhibits before heading to the second-floor seating. The seating arrangement is determined by the order of entry. When we went, we were able to sit in the very front of the second floor. It seems that on the first floor, you can watch the show while dining.

The show starts with visuals, upbeat music, and hula dancing. The impersonation show is entirely in English, so if you don't understand English, you might miss some of the fun. However, the Elvis impersonator came to the second floor and even shook hands, making it a vibrant show that I would recommend for those who love glamorous performances and rock music.

Both during the meal and the show, the vibe is very American, so I had the impression that, including us, the Japanese audience might not be fully in sync. However, the dynamic stage with quick changes in costumes and stage impressions kept us entertained throughout the slightly over one-hour show, making for a wonderful and enjoyable night.

現地集合にしたので18時30分までに会場へ向かいます。
受付で予約画面を見せると案内してもらえます。
まずはウエルカムドリンクで乾杯したあとに音楽を聞きながら、フラを見ながらのバイキングです。
食事場所は会場の中ではなく受付のすぐとなりになります。

食事の内容的には付けなくてもいいかなーと思いましたが、食事中にフラを披露したりドリンクを持ってきてくれた人がショーにも出ているので、顔を覚えているとショー中も別な楽しみ方があると思います。

食事のあとは会場内に入り展示品などを自由に見てから２階席へ。入った順番で座る場所が決まります。
私たちの時は２階席の一番前に座ることができました。１階では食事をしながらショーが見れるようです。

ショーは映像と軽快な音楽とフラダンスではじまります。
ものまねショーはすべて英語なので英語がわからないと面白さは若干劣るような気がしますが、2階席までエルビスのそっくりさんが来てくれたり握手をしてくれたりするので華やかなショーやロックが好きな方にはおすすめです。

食事中もショー中もノリがアメリカンなので私たちも含め、日本人はノリ切れてないかなー？という印象でしたが、1時間ちょっとのショーの中で衣装もステージの印象も短時間で変化をさせながら迫力あるステージで最後まで飽きさせない演出はとても素晴らしく楽しい夜を過ごせました。

After completing the check-in, I was guided to my dining seat, and first up was a Mai Tai. It was great to have the option to choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Before long, a whole roasted pig made its appearance, and the buffet meal began. There was a wide variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. Hot items were served hot, and cold items were served cold, leaving me very satisfied and full.

Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive and full of service spirit, making for a very enjoyable experience. The show featured a lot, including performances by Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, hula dancing, and fire dancing. The quality was high, and I was extremely satisfied.

I will definitely go back to see it again.

受け付けを済ませると食事の席に案内され、まずはマイタイ。アルコールとノンアルコールから選べるのがありがたいです。
しばらくすると豚の丸焼き登場しバイキングの食事がスタート。
品数も豊富でどれも美味しくいただきました。
温かい物は温かく、冷たい物は冷たく、満足、お腹いっぱいになりました。
食事中も気遣いとサービス精神旺盛でとても楽しく過ごせました。
ショーもマイケル・ジャクソン、エルヴィス・プレスリー、フラダンス、ファイヤーダンス等盛りだくさん。
クオリティも高く大満足でした。
また見に行きます。

What I love about this show is its variety performance. It has hula dances, Michael Jackson, Elvis and fire eater. All the performances were very good. I love Elvis. I would have loved to see more hula dances but overall it was good. Also, I wish it was a little longer. We opted for the pre-performance buffet dinner and it was good too. The band was good as well. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is worth it. It is not the usual luau but it had a las vegas impersonators. My family enjoyed it including my teenage kids. It is for all ages. Very well choreographed. Love that it is inside an indoor theatre.

My encounter with Presley happened when the café run by my relatives was closing down. I was told I could take as many records as I wanted from the store, and among them was a flashy record featuring Presley in a red aloha shirt, which was from Blue Hawaii. From that point on, I became completely hooked on Presley instead of the Beatles. Even though I traveled to Hawaii every year, I avoided impersonations, but on my family's recommendation, I saw a show for the first time. Presley was, of course, amazing, and some of the dancers reminded me of the times I danced when I was young, creating wonderful memories.

プレスリーとの出会いは、親族の経営する喫茶店が閉店することになり、店で使用していたレコード、好きなだけ持って帰っていいと言われその中に、赤いアロハシャツを着た派手なレコードがあり、それがブルーハワイのプレスリーでした、それからはビートルズではなくプレスリーに完全にはまり込みました、それだけに、毎年ハワイに旅行に行っても、物まねは嫌と避けていましたが、家族のすすめで初めてショウーを見てプレスリーは勿論素晴らしかったし、ダンサー達の何人かは幼い時に踊っていたときを思い出させてくれて、すばらしい思い出になりました。

I highly recommend this show. It is one of a kind show. It is a luau with Las Vegas flare. I particularly loved Elvis. I wish he could have sang some more songs but it was still a great show. All the performances were outstanding. The band was good too. Also the fire dance was great. My kids enjoyed it. Do not hesitate to watch the show. When I come back to Honolulu I want to watch it again. We had the dinner buffet before the show and the food was great too. It included a free maitai. I also like that it was in an enclosed theatre. Rock a hula, you rock. I would not hesitate to watch it again.

The fireworks were very beautiful.
The boat was small, and I mistakenly made a reservation thinking it was a dinner cruise on a large ship.

花火はとても綺麗でした。
船が小さく、大型船でのディナークルーズと勘違いして予約してしまいました。

It was different from the image of the impersonation rock show that was on TV about seven years ago. Neither Elvis nor Michael looked alike at all, and their singing and voices were not similar, which was disappointing! However, the surrounding band and dancing were very good!

７年位前にコマーでやっていたモノマネロックショウのイメージとは違いました。エルビスもマイケルも全く顔も似ていないし歌も声も似て居なくてガッカリ！しかし周りのバンド、踊りはとても良かった！

All day excursion. Wonderful experience. Our guide, Stau, was enthusiastic, fun, and knowledgeable. The different villages, with all of the friendly people, entertainment, and learning opportunities were well done. The luau was good. The Ha, Breath of Life show was amazing. Will go again next time I visit Hawaii. Thanks so much for the experience.

This was a great show. We have been to luaus before and we promise not to do it again because we feel that they are way overpriced but we decided to gamble on this one since it had great reviews and it sounded different with the rock and roll and boy it did not disappoint. Our whole party of 6 really enjoyed the show from beginning to end. I highly recommend this show to everyone. My favorite was Elvis. Its like watching Vegas in Hawaii. The buffet dinner was good too. The roast pork was great. They also had tofu and other vegetables for my vegan daughter. Very well organized and everybody was great.

Reading this experience beforehand was very helpful. I took action early, arriving around 6:10 for the 6:30 event. The reception had already started, and I was about third in line to exchange my ticket, then headed to the dining area next door. I was able to sit in the second row, so I was the second to go for the buffet. Since I arrived early, I could enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. The drink included was a Mai Tai, and although I wanted to have some wine, I decided against it in case I needed to use the restroom during the show. After finishing my meal, I thought about going to the restroom, but I was already allowed into the theater. Because I acted quickly, I was able to sit in the center of the first row on the second floor. The venue was not as large as I expected, so I had a very good view. I thought it was just the right size. During the show, Elvis surprisingly came up to the second floor and crossed right in front of the first row while shaking hands, which was exciting even though I recognized him as an impersonator. I enjoyed both the meal and the show. I thought that sometimes this kind of experience in Hawaii is nice.

こちらの体験談を読んでから出かけたので、大変役立ちました
早め早めの行動をとりました
6：30～ということなので6：10ぐらいには到着したと思います
すでに受付が始まっておりました、３番目ぐらいですぐにチケットを交換してもらい横にある食事会場へ行きました、２列目の席に座れたので
ブッフェを取りに行く番が２番目でした、早めに行っておいたのでのんびり食事ができました、ドリンクはマイタイがついていましたのでワインも飲みたかったけどショーの時おトイレに行きたくなったらこまるのでやめておきました。食事が終りおトイレに行こうと思ったらもう劇場の席に入れました
行動が早かったので２階の１列目のセンターに座ることができました。
思ったより会場は広くなかったのでとてもよく見えました。
ちょうどいい広さだなと思いました
ショーではエルビスがなんと２階まで上がってきてくれ１列目の前を握手をしながら横断してくれたのでそっくりサンとはわかっていても嬉かったです
食事・ショーともに楽しめました
たまにはこういうハワイもいいかなと思いました。

The concert features high-level singers and dancers, making it a rich experience. The appeal lies in being able to enjoy hula and fire dancing simultaneously, but the number of dancers left a slightly small impression.

歌手やダンサーのレベルは高く内容が濃いコンサートです。フラやファイヤーダンスも同時に楽しめる点が魅力ですが、ダンサー数の規模感が若干こじんまりの印象は残りました。

Honestly guys, this is a must do when you go to Oahu. You get to learn about the Polynesian culture while having fun! The center was huge and there’s lots of activities to do throughout the day. There’s several shows that we’re OUTSTANDING!!! The food at the luau was amazing as well. The final show: HA, was sooo good, it’s a must see. Highly recommend!

We didn't apply for VIP, so we first had a meal on the terrace while listening to music and watching hula. The food was delicious! We moved indoors and got to see a lot of songs and hula in the show. The hula was really cute!

私たちはVIPを申し込まなかったので、まずはテラスで音楽を聴きながらとフラを見ながら食事しました。ご飯も美味しかったです！室内に移動してショーも沢山の歌やフラを見れました。フラがすごく可愛かったです！

The Royal Hawaiian Center was a convenient stop for the trolley, so transportation wasn't particularly necessary. I was a bit surprised that the buffet was set up in a tent, but the food was absolutely delicious. As a Japanese person, I couldn't fully satisfy my craving for rice, but that's not specific to this place. During the meal, they entertained us with hula and singing, which was enjoyable. I considered opting for the VIP seats, but the seats we were given were not far and had a good view. Overall, it was an easy-to-see venue. I really enjoyed the show and I'm so glad I was able to participate. I would love to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time. I'm also curious about the VIP seats. Thank you very much.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターはトロリーなど停まるところだったため送迎は特に必要ありませんでした。ビュッフェを用意されていたのがテントだったので少しびっくりはしましたが、ビュッフェの内容も申し分なく美味しかったです。お米はどうしても日本人なので満足はできませんでしたが、それはここに限らずです。食事中もフラをしたり歌ったり盛り上げてくれたりと楽しめました。ビップ席にするかも迷いましたが通される席も遠くなく良く見えました。全体的に見やすい会場でした。ショーもすごく楽しめました。参加することができて本当に良かったです。またハワイに行く際は見て見たいなと思います。ビップ席も気になります。ありがとうございました。

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment

Overall the whole experience was great. Loved how everyone very involved and interacting with the audience. Loved the setup of how they lead us from one place to the next and drinks were amazing. Also loved how Elvis came to up to my baby. This was definitely my top experience in Hawaii this week. I felt as if I was in a movie because everyone was so friendly and we’re treating us all so nicely. The involvement of the employees from the dinner to the show was amazing on how they were involved The Who way through. I’m happy this was one of the first things we did on our list because it made the trip start of very good.

We participated with eight people.
Michael was a bit on the heavier side with a bit of a belly, which disappointed everyone, but Elvis was perfect in both singing and appearance!!!
After the show, he took pictures and signed autographs, and everyone was thrilled.
Definitely give it a try at least once!

８人で参加しました
マイケルはちょっと太めでお腹出てて みんながっかりだったけど
エルビスは歌も容姿もバッチリ！！！
ショー終了後に、写真撮ってくれたりサイン書いてくれたりと喜んでました
是非一度は体験下さい！

The fireworks on Friday night in Waikiki were amazing! The captain and the staff were kind, and I had a great time. I want to go again.

ワイキキの金曜日の夜の花火最高でした！船長さんもスタッフさんも親切で楽しい時を過ごせました。また行きたいです。

The boat I wanted to take was canceled due to maintenance, and I made a last-minute reservation without much expectation. However, being close to the water and feeling the pleasant sea breeze while watching Waikiki transform from day to night was really wonderful. The casual style allowed us to sit at the front of the boat and relax. We could see the happy Friday fireworks from the front, making it feel like we had them all to ourselves. Drinks were unlimited, and the crew promptly checked on us when our drinks ran low and made more for us. The food was delicious too. They brought desserts around to the guests, and everyone was really nice. Although I'm not very good at English, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. I usually don't get motion sickness in cars or boats, but I was a bit worried about seasickness when we headed out. Surprisingly, it didn't sway much even while docked. I felt the price was a bit high when I signed up, but it was totally worth it. It was the best experience!

乗りたい船がメンテナンスでキャンセルになり、ぎりぎりで予約して期待してなかったのですが、海面が近くて、海風が心地よくワイキキの町を日が沈み夜景に変化していく姿もとっても良かったです。ラフなスタイルのため船の前の方に座ってのんびりできます。happy　Fridayの花火他の船より前で見ることができます。花火独り占めな感じです。飲み物も飲み放題でした。船員さんも飲み物なくなるとすぐ聞いてくれて作ってくれます。食べ物もおいしかったです。デザートを船のあちこちにいるお客さんの所に持ってきてくれてとってもいい人達でした。英語得意ではないですが日本語できるスタッフいるので安心でした。普段車酔いや船酔いなどしない方ですが、沖に出るため船酔いを気にしましたが停泊中も意外と揺れなかったです。お値段は少し高いかなーと感じて申し込みましたが全然良かったです。最高でした。

I booked this show because I wanted to see and experience hula while on a trip to Hawaii with three friends who dance hula in Japan. I was excited and nervous to see the hula experience and dance even before the show started. The buffet meal had plenty of meat dishes, and I could have eaten even more. I never felt like there wasn't enough food. The ice cream for dessert was incredibly delicious. The show after the meal featured a bit of hula, but it was enjoyable from start to finish without getting bored. I'm not very good at English, but it was fun even if I didn't understand everything. My friends who went with me said they would recommend seeing this show when they go to Hawaii, so I highly recommend it!

日本でフラをしている友達3人でのハワイ旅行で、現地のフラを見たり体験したりしたくてこのショーを申し込みました。ショー見る前からフラ体験やフラダンスを見れたりしてわくわくドキドキでした。食事もバイキングでしたが、お肉系がたっぷりあってもっと食べたかったぐらいです。足りない事はない感じでした。デザートのアイスが最高においしく感じました。食事の後のショーもフラは少しでしたが、最初から最後まで飽きずに見ることができて楽しかったです。英語が得意ではないですがわからなくても楽しいです。一緒に行った友達もハワイ行くときは「このショー見るのを薦める」と言うほどで、とてもお薦めです。
