All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

I booked this for my teenage daughter and I and we loved it!
The ranch is gorgeous and the scenery was amazing. The horses are beautiful and well cared for and the staff are patient and really nice.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone. We did the 1 1/2 hour scenic ride which is perfect for beginners and riders with minimal experience.

This time, Celine was there. It was so wonderful that I was moved to tears. Michael was smaller than the person who appeared last time. The quality is high, but unlike the impersonators in Japan, the scale is different. It was moving.

今回はセリーヌがいました。とてもすばらしくて感動して涙が出ました。マイケルは前回出ていた方より小柄になってました。クオリティーは高いですが。
日本のそっくりさんと違ってスケールが違います。感動です。

Very nice Luau. Very entertaining. They provided activities for children. The food was very good.

Loved the cruise. The food was good and service was on point. My girlfriend had an allergic reaction to something in food. We were blown away by the response the crew had and they took care of us. Overall we had a great time and plan to do it again in the future.

Loved everything about the cultural center. The food was amazing at the luau and the show was breath taking. Our Veltra reservations were easy to make and worked perfectly

Perfect night! Great cruise ship, the crew was wonderful and entertaining. Also, the food was delicious!

It took a little time before departure, but more importantly, once we boarded the boat, the staff made it fun and enjoyable. Inside the boat, we took off our shoes and went wherever we liked to enjoy the scenery and the breeze. Drinks and food were provided, and until the fireworks started, there was background music playing. The staff frequently checked on our drinks and brought them to us, and they also came around with desserts. The fireworks lasted about five minutes, but the view of the star-filled sky against the dark backdrop and the pleasant breeze were wonderful.

出発まで少し時間がかかりましたが、そんなことより
船に乗りスタッフさんが盛り上げてくれ楽しく過ごせましたよ
船内は、靴を脱ぎ入ると好きなとこに行って景色、風を楽しみました

花火は5分ぐらいで終わりましたが、真っ暗な空から満点の星、風が良かったです

It took about an hour and a half to arrive without getting lost from Waikiki. I was really anxious since it was my first time renting a car and I wasn't used to the navigation system, but I was relieved to find it in such an easy-to-find location. I was about ten minutes late for the meeting time, which pushed past the scheduled start time, but we were able to start horseback riding without any issues. There were no Japanese staff or participants who spoke Japanese, but as long as you know some basic English words, communication wasn't a problem.

The ranch is very spacious, and there are plenty of animals like goats and birds roaming around, which is quite soothing. The horseback riding lasted an hour and a half, and for someone who hasn't ridden in a while, it was a sufficient amount of time to the point where my backside started to hurt. When we reached the top of the mountain, we were able to see the ocean, which was a beautiful spot for photos.

I enjoyed horseback riding at a leisurely pace, and on the way back, we were able to stop by the nearby North Shore. Compared to other optional tours where you have to stick to a schedule with others, this experience allowed us to move at our own pace, making for a day that felt relaxed both in mind and time. If I were to go horseback riding in Hawaii again, I would definitely want to come back here.

ワイキキからレンタカーで１時間半ほどで迷わず到着しました。
初めてのレンタカーでナビにも慣れないままのレンタカーでとても不安だったのですが本当に分かりやすい場所にありホッとしました。
集合時刻に１０分ほど遅れて予定開始時刻を過ぎましたが問題なく乗馬を開始できました。
スタッフや他の参加者に日本人や日本語が通じる方はいないのですが、最低限の英単語を知っていれば会話も問題なかったです。
牧場はとても広く、ヤギや鳥など動物もたくさん放牧されていて癒されます。
１時間半の乗馬でしたが久々に乗馬をしたわたしはお尻が痛くなるほどの十分な時間の乗馬でした。
山の頂上へ行くと海が見えるとてもきれいな場所で写真も撮って頂けました。
時間たっぷり乗馬を楽しめ、帰りは近くのノースショアへ立ち寄ることができ、他の方と行動を共にするオプショナルツアーよりこちらの方が自分たちのペースでゆっくり自由に行動ができ、心にも時間にも余裕のあった１日でした。
ハワイで乗馬をするならまたここでしたいです。

I would highly recommend this for all to see. We had the best time. The dancers are wonderful.

I have enjoyed various dinner shows in different countries, but this is the first time I felt so satisfied. The staff's service, the delicious food, and the wonderful show! I booked a VIP seat, and the price was reasonable, which truly impressed me. It was also close to my hotel, which was fantastic. Thank you!

今まで各国の様々なディナーショーを楽しみましたが、これほど満足できたディナーショーは初めてです。スタッフの対応、美味しい食事そして素晴らしいショー！ＶＩＰ席で申し込みましたが料金もリーズナブルだし本当に感激しました。宿泊先ホテルからも近くて最高でした。感謝！

I made a reservation through this site and went to see it in Hawaii, and it was great.
At the end, you can take photos with all the cast members. Everyone is very kind.
The fire dance was impressive.
The live performance was also wonderful.

ハワイ現地でこちらのサイトで予約して見に行きましたが、よかったです。
最後にキャストの皆さんと写真を撮れます。みなさんとても親切です。
ファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。
演奏も生演奏で素晴らしいです。

Covered a lot of ground in one day. Too bad we didn't get more time at the cultural center. We didn't get there until 1:30.

My family and I enjoyed it so much we can't wait to do it again!

I went with a friend. The cocktails were delicious, the show was fun, and it was really great. I definitely want to go again.

友人と２人で行きました。
カクテルも美味しく、ショーも楽しく、とても良かったです。
また是非行きたいです。

Had an awesome time, food was good, entertainment was good....would do it again in a heartbeat! I would recommend this cruise to everyone whose going to be in honolulu.

It was me and my husbands anniversary and head a great time on the dinner cruise. The all you can eat crab was great :)

As the final night event, I went to check it out. I only participated in the cocktail portion, but it was definitely worth seeing. Of course, there were impersonators of Celine, Michael, and Elvis, but I was most excited about the Hawaiian dance (Fireman and Hula dance)!! The sound was amazing, and the visuals in the background, along with the high quality of the surrounding dancers, made it a very good quality show that you can see quite up close. At the end of the show, you can take photos together in the meeting area. I was hesitating, wondering if tips were necessary since I didn't know the going rate, but it turned out that tips weren't needed, and they were happy to take photos casually! 😊

最後の夜のイベントとして、いってみました。カクテルだけの参加でしたが、見る価値絶対あります。セリーヌ、マイケル、エルビスのそっくりさんはもちろんですが、私はハワイアンダンス（ファイアーマンやフラダンス）が一番興奮しました！！　サウンドも素晴らしいし、バックに映る映像の演出、周りのダンサーのQuality の高さなど、ShowとしてはとてもよいQualityで結構近くでみれます。ショーの最後にミーティングエリアで一緒に写真もとれます。もしかしてチップとかいるのかな？相場がわからないな？と躊躇していましたが、Chipなども必要なく、気軽に写真撮影に応じてもらえましたよ＾＾

This cruise was great. The food was good, the entertainment outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu. I also liked walking around outside and seeing the island from the sea. It's a little pricey, but worth it.

My sister and I wanna say thank you all at big chief's luau. First luau ever and we had a blast. So glad I had chosen Big Chief's. By far the best even though I'd had never been to another. The family oriented feeling you received you felt as if you had known them longer then you had. The food and entertainment was awesome. Not to mention the lesson in life to learn from . Teaching cultures and hawaii traditions was special. much love to the crew at Big chief's for making us feel so welcome. I would recommend to anyone I know. Even the bus tour guides was top stars.
Aloha

Love and peace

We chose the whole day outing at the Polynesian Culture Center and we didn't regret it. Our transportation was on time, the escort was very entertaining and informative and the drive from Maui to the Center beautiful.

We visited as many island sites as possible and found each different and informative and also entertaining. The water parade was gorgeous.

In the afternoon we went for the luau that was extremely well organized. The food was ample and good.

The luau that followed was breathtaking. The dances, the fire dances, the costumes, the colors each and every one was superb.

When all was over we found our bus that brought us back to our hotel. The day was over but the memories lingered on.

Food was great, service was great, show and dancers was awesome, views of Honolulu and fireworks perfect!!

20 years since the last Legend in Concert.
There are fewer performers.
The dance of the Michael Jackson impersonator...

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!

Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.

The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.

Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii, and we participated as a family of four. I apologize, but I signed up without expecting much from the food or the show, thinking it would just be a conversation starter. However, after dining at several steakhouses in Waikiki, I was pleasantly surprised by the high rating my family gave the meal; it was satisfying in taste and had a reasonable portion size. It was unexpectedly good in a positive way. As for the show, although it had a retro feel, it was very much in line with Hawaiian culture and of high quality, which amazed the whole family. I believe that families with children of a certain age can enjoy it thoroughly. The VIP dinner offers various services right in front of the stage (laughs), and while it is a bit pricier, I think it provides good value for the cost, so I recommend it. My family said they would like to go again next time.

ハワイ４回目の家族４人で参加しました。
申し訳ないのですが、食事もショーの内容もそれほど期待せず話のタネになればと思って申し込んだのですが、ワイキキで何件かのステーキハウスで食事をしてからの評価としては予想に反して、家族の食事に対する評価は高く満足できる味と適度な量でした。いい意味でちょっと意外でした。そして、ショーの内容についてもレトロ感があるものの、ハワイらしい内容でクオリティーの高いもので家族皆驚きました。ある程度の年齢の家族なら皆で十分楽しめる内容だと思います。ＶＩＰディナーなら舞台前で色々なサービス（笑）もあり、少し高めの価格ですがコストパフォーマンス的に満足できる内容と思いますのでお勧めします。家族は次回もまた行きたいと言っていました。

Amazing! It was great to see how rich and important the polynesian culture is. I learned a lot about the history, arts, music, history and games in Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. The cultural center is well organized and the shows and exhibitions are really neat. The staff member are very kind and polite. The food was delicious and the final show (Ha! Breath of Life) was fantastic! Don't miss the Hawaiian Journey movie, it features amazing landscapes, majestic mountains, waterfalls, volcanoes and lush forests.
Polynesian Cultural Center is a must-do in Hawaii, specially if you have kids.

Me and my partner was really feels great for our tour... Thank you so much for giving us a Great day for our tour... Most specially for giving us a wonderful and hospitable tour guide Dennis... He was so brilliant and accomodating he really cares for your customer and guided us properly with care.. He teaches us sooo many lessons about Hawaii and we learned a lot... Thank u sooo much Dennis... He needs a pay rise for being so wonderful to your customers All in all we give u 100 % rating Mahalo until our next tour
Yours truly

There were few Japanese participants, and both on the bus and during the show, an interesting guy talked a lot, so it was tough if you didn't understand English to some extent. My parents in their 70s, who went with me, couldn't enjoy it and ended up dozing off. There were various activities before the show, and participating in them was really fun. The food was quite good for a luau show buffet. The hula dance only took up a small portion of the show and the quality wasn't that high. The highlight was the fire dance performed by a large group. It was a luau show where you could feel the atmosphere of both America and Hawaii throughout.

日本人の参加は少なく、バスの中もショーの中でも面白いおじさんが喋りまくる、時に話しかけられるので、英語がある程度わからないと厳しいです。一緒に行った70代の両親は楽しめず、居眠りしてました。。ショーの前に色々なactivityがあり、参加してみるととても楽しかったです。食事はルアウショーのビュッフェにしては美味しかったです。ショーの中でフラが占める割合はほんの少しで、それほどクオリティも高くないです。圧巻だったのは大人数でのファイヤーダンスでした。アメリカとハワイの空気を随所に感じるルアウショーでした。

Great food, excellent view. Wonderful entertainment! Worth the price.

I rode at Sweetheart for two days on July 11 and 12 (the canter course was an additional $10). It takes about two hours to get there from Ala Moana by The Bus. There were a lot of children, possibly because Hawaii's schools are on summer break. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception. After informing a wandering person that we had a reservation, a staff member came out, and we signed a waiver before preparing the horses. The four of us enjoy riding outside both domestically and internationally, so we came here intending to gallop. As expected, we were able to ride at speeds of 40 km or more. However, I think it's important to inform the guide about the speed you are comfortable with, as it can be dangerous if you haven't experienced this level of speed beforehand. The canter within the riding club is limited to about 20 km, which feels like shifting from third to fourth gear in a car. We had lunch on a hill overlooking the North Shore, but the lunch box in the horse's saddle pocket got all mixed up due to the up-and-down vibrations. On the second day, we decided not to bring lunch and ate after returning. Also, the stirrups are often too long for Japanese riders, so if they don't fit, it's important to adjust them (or switch to a child’s saddle if adjustments aren't possible) to avoid falling off during canter or gallop. I believe it's better to communicate, even in broken English, regarding speed and other matters, as accidents are the rider's responsibility. Compared to riding in Japan, the sense of freedom is completely different, making it an excellent ranch for those who want to ride fast. (The walking course is just for walking, and the canter course is optional.) It's a pity that the time for each course is predetermined, limiting the options available.

7/11,12の２日間スｲートハート（キャンターコースはオプションで$10アップでした）で騎乗。The Busでアラモアナから2時間で行けます。ハワイの学校が夏休みに入ったのか子供たちがいっぱい。我々が着いても受付に誰もいません。うろうろしている人に「予約している」と告げるとスタッフが出てきて免責の書面に各人サインしてから馬の準備。我々4人は内外地で外乗で走ることを楽しんでいますので、ここでもギャロップで走るつもりで来ました。内容は予想通り40Kmかそれ以上のスピードで走ることが出来ました。ただし、事前にこの程度の速度を経験していないと危険ですので、ガイドさんにはどの程度で走るかを指示しておく必要があると思います。乗馬クラブのラチ内での駈足は20Ｋｍ位までですので車で言うとギアが３速から４速に上がる感じです。途中ノースショアの景色を見下ろせる丘でランチですが、馬のゼッケンのポケットに入れてあったランチボックスの中が上下の振動でグチャグチャになっていました。２日目はランチを持って行かないで戻ってから食事にしました。また、鐙は日本人には長すぎることが多いので、自分に合わない場合は妥協しないで調節（調節出来ない場合は子供用の鞍に替えてもらう）しないとキャンター、ギャロップでは落馬につながります。速度の点も含めて片言ででも英語で意思疎通が出来た方が良いと思います。事故は自己責任ですので。日本での外乗と比べて解放感がまったく違い、速く走りたい方には絶好の牧場です。（歩くコースは歩くだけ、キャンターコースはオプションです）コースによって時間が決まっており選択の巾が少ないのが残念です。

After the Hawaiian buffet at Tree Top Luau, you can enjoy a show featuring impersonators of Elvis, Michael, and Celine Dion.

First, the outdoor Tree Top Luau (it seems to be indoors in case of rain). It was sunny on the day, so we enjoyed the Hawaiian buffet outside. Honestly, it gets hot, so I recommend bringing a fan or something similar.

They serve a welcome drink of one Mai Tai per person. It's a cocktail-like drink, and you can choose whether to have alcohol or not, so no worries.

After that, you go in turn to get your food, but the dishes are lined up in a corridor-like area, so you have to wait a bit before you can get to the food. There are over 20 dishes including roast beef, lomi lomi salmon, huli huli chicken, and a dessert bar, so I think everyone will be full after one trip.

It was quite tasty. While you're eating, dancers perform hula, so I think you'll enjoy it. Afterward, you're guided to the premium seats in the theater. Non-alcoholic drinks are $5, and alcoholic drinks are $10, so don’t forget your money if you want to enjoy a drink while watching.

Once the show starts, you'll see well-known figures like Michael, Celine Dion, and Elvis. However, the highlight is a fire dance performed by a Hawaiian dancer, which is truly worth seeing. Honestly, I wished I could see more of it.

Michael Jackson was also very popular. Even though there were many Japanese guests, the finale was Elvis. I felt that Michael Jackson would have been a more exciting finale. But maybe for Americans, it makes sense for it to be Elvis?

At the end, you can take photos with Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Celine Dion using your own camera, which makes for a great memory, and it's free. The photos taken by the staff at the end cost $25. I thought that was too expensive and declined, but if they offered it for $10 to $15 instead, I think more people would buy them, which seems like a waste.

I recommend this as a memorable part of your Hawaii trip.
