It became a great memory! However, the sandbar was mostly underwater, so that was a bit disappointing since it was just nature.

いい思い出になりました！
ただサンドバーがほとんど海だったので
そこだけが自然相手なので仕方ないですが
残念でした(꒦ິ⌑꒦ີ)

My wife and I are in Honolulu for our honeymoon and we cannot have picked a better Luau. The dinner and show is conveniently located in Waikiki, central to all the shopping and hotels. We were happily greeted by the staff right from checking in and the performers, hosts, servers were also very nice. They go above and beyond to make sure that every guest has a great experience. The buffet dinner had a lot of variety of foods that cater to everyone. After dinner, we headed into the theatre for the show. They took us through the history of Hawaii with music and dancing which was very entertaining. All the performers were truly talented. Especially the fire dancing! We would highly recommend this to our friends and families.

A fabulous experience from beginning to end! Our Captain Crystal was knowledgeable, fun, professional and made the excursion one of our biggest highlights of our vacation! Thank you Crystal!!!

This sunset dinner cruise was a truely amazing experience for myself and my partner.
The three course dinner was ok, the appetiser and dessert were nothing special, but the main meal was incredible!!! We both couldn’t get enough of the crab!
The dancers were all very talented and was great entertainment onboard.
The singer and his niece also provided great entertainment in between meals.
The fireworks towards the end was also an amazing experience I will not soon forget.
One thing that stopped this from being a 5-star experience was that we were sat opposite a random couple on the same table as us, making this ‘date night’ a lot more awkward than we had expected.

It was a full moon and low tide, which should have been about 1 ft, but when I got there, the water level was up to an adult's waist. It turns out that achieving a perfect low tide with white sand is quite miraculous.

The ocean in Hawaii in November was colder than I expected, and Japanese tourists quickly got back on the boat. It seemed like Westerners stayed in the water a bit longer since they tend to have lower body temperatures.

When we arrived, it was gloomy due to the rain, but about 20 minutes after reaching the heavenly sea, the sun came out. You really can't know what Hawaii's ocean is like until you experience it.

There is a staff member who speaks Japanese, so it's okay if you don't understand English. As others have mentioned, on the way back, they stop by the famous malasada food truck "Leonard's." While there's a long line at the store on the Waikiki side, you don't have to wait here, which is great!

満月で干潮、１ｆｔのはずだったけれど、現地に行ってみたら大人の腰の高さの水位。
やはり、白砂の上がる完璧な干潮は、かなり奇跡に近いことが分かる。
11月のハワイの海は思ったより寒く、日本人観光客は早々にボートに上がってきました。欧米人は体温が低いので、わりと長く海に入っていたように思います。
現地に着いた時は、雨でどよーんとしていたが、天国の海に着いて20分程したら晴れ間が。ハワイの海は行ってみたいと分からないものです。
クルースタッフには、日本語を話すお姉さんがいるので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫。他の人も書いていましたが、帰りにマラサダの名店「レナーズ」のフードトラックに寄ってくれます。ワイキキ側の店舗では買うのに行列ですが、ここは並ばなくて良いので◎。

We saw dolphins and whales. The crew was fun and easygoing.

So much fun . Easy to book and get on the boat. Such a nice staff. Would go again.

I was waiting near the lobby of the designated hotel for the morning gathering, but it seems I was at the wrong location (it was actually next to the lobby, in the parking space on Kaiulani Avenue), so I kept everyone waiting a bit.

On the way to Sandbar, the driver introduced various shops visible from the car window. It seems that malasadas were recommended, and we were able to stop by Leonard's food truck on the way back to purchase some.

Upon arrival, a representative from Captain Bruce's provided a thorough explanation, and there was someone who spoke Japanese as well.

We moved to the boat, and while we were required to take off our shoes, we were allowed to keep our reef shoes on.

The boat had snacks, juice, and warm drinks available, and everyone was free to eat and drink as they pleased.

Everyone started snorkeling at the same time. Since there were many people, those at the front were kicked or bumped into. There is a designated swimming area, but I recommend keeping a good distance from others within that area. The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles several times!

After swimming for a while, I accidentally swallowed a lot of seawater and started to feel a bit unwell. A woman from Captain Bruce's came over to check on me, and I was able to rest on a float, which was a great help. When we returned to the boat, it was really cold. I think it would be good to have a jacket that can get wet and a few larger towels. There are warm drinks available, but you'll want to go to the restroom... By the way, there is one shared restroom on the boat. I didn't use it myself (laughs).

After that, I lightly experienced stand-up paddleboarding, but towards the end, it was so cold that I was huddled on the boat (laughs).

The sea was very beautiful, and snorkeling was fun. The only disappointment was that we couldn't walk on the beach due to high tide.

朝集合の際、指定ホテルのロビー近くで待っていましたが、場所が違ったようで(実際はロビー横、カイウラニアベニューの駐車スペース)少し待たせてしまいました。
サンドバーへ向かう途中、運転手の方が車窓から見える色んなお店を紹介してくれました。マラサダがオススメのようで帰りにレナーズのワゴン車(キッチンカー？)に寄ってくれて購入できました。

到着するとキャプテンブルースの方が一通りの説明をしてくれて、日本語を話せる方もいました。
船に移動し、靴は脱ぐことになっていましたがリーフシューズは履いたままでOKでした。

船にはお菓子やジュース、温かい飲み物が置いてあり、みんな自由に食べたり飲んだりしていました。

シュノーケルから全員スタート。
一斉にスタートしたので人数が多く、始めの方は前の人に蹴られたりひました。泳げるエリアが決まっていますが、その中でもうまく距離を取ることをおすすめします。笑
海がとても綺麗で何度かウミガメを見ることもできました！
しばらく泳いだ後、たくさん海水を飲んでしまい少し気分が悪くなってしまったときに、キャプテンブルースの女性が声をかけてくれ、浮き輪に乗せてもらい休憩することごでき助かりました。
その後船に戻るととにかく寒かったです。持ち物にある濡れてもいい上着、あと大き目のタオルは何枚かあると良いと思いました。温かい飲み物もありますがトイレに行きたくなってしまうので…。
ちなみに船には共有トイレが1つあります。自分は使用しませんでした(笑

その後軽くサップも体験しましたが、最後の方は寒くてずっと船でうずくまっていました(笑)

海はとても綺麗でした。シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
残念だったのは満潮で砂浜を歩けなかったことくらいです。

I was a bit anxious because there were mostly foreign participants and few Japanese attendees, but it was great that the luau buffet menu had Japanese descriptions. I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. A welcome drink was included, but any additional orders would incur extra charges. The roast beef and pork dishes were carved right in front of us. There were also desserts. Even from the second-floor seating, the show was very visible, but since both the show and buffet prioritize VIPs, I thought it might be worth paying for that. During the show, the Japanese attendees were wearing masks. The impersonations, hula, and fire dance were incredibly powerful and exciting, and I was glad to participate and feel the essence of Hawaii.

ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、ルアウビュッフェメニューは日本語表記があったためよかったです。色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。ウェルカムドリンクも1杯ついていて、それ以降注文する場合は別途お金がかかります。ローストビーフと豚料理は目の前で切り分けてくれました。デザートもあります。二階席でもショーはとてもよく見えましたが、ショーもビュッフェもVIP優先の順番になるため課金してもいいかなと思いました。ショー中は日本人の方はマスクをしていました。ものまねやフラ、ファイヤーダンスなどすごい迫力と盛り上がりで、参加してハワイを感じられてよかったです。

I participated once before the COVID-19 pandemic and had a very valuable experience, so I joined again after about three years! On the day I participated, the wind was strong and the waves were high, which reduced the water's clarity. As a result, when the honu dove, it quickly became hard to see them, and I didn't spot them as often as during my previous visit. However, I was able to see a few honu, and just as I was about to head back to the boat, I spotted a large pod of dolphins in the distance. One of them jumped high like in a dolphin show, and I was so excited! Just when I thought the excitement couldn't get any better, the pod of dolphins started swimming towards us, and in the end, I was able to swim with the dolphins too! It was the best experience to encounter both honu and dolphins!

コロナ禍前に一度参加し、大変貴重な体験ができたため、約3年ぶりに参加させて頂きました！
私が参加した日は風が強く波が高かったため、海の透明度が低く、ホヌが潜ってしまうとすぐに見えなくなってしまい、前回参加した際よりもホヌを見える回数があまり多くありませんでした。しかし、何度かホヌを見ることができたため、船に戻ろうとしたところ、遠くにイルカの大群を見つけ、一匹はイルカショーのように大きくジャンプしてくれて、大興奮していました！大興奮していたのも束の間、だんだんとイルカの大群が私たちの方に泳いできて、最終的にはイルカとも泳ぐことができました‼︎
ホヌもともイルカとも出会えて最高の体験でした‼︎

The pickup was on time, and there were no stops along the way to the destination. However, I had booked a transfer and admission ticket package, but the local list only showed the transfer. Since I had printed the voucher and brought it with me, I was able to show it to the local staff and receive my admission ticket, resolving the issue. I will use this service again.

ピックアップ予定時間通りにピックアップしていただけ、途中、立ち寄りもなく目的地への送迎をしていただけました。
ただ、送迎と入場券のコースを予約していましたが、現地のリストでは送迎のみになっていました。
バウチャーを印刷して持参していたので、それを現地係員に見せて、入場券をもらうことが出来て、問題解決です。
また利用します。

Staff was awesome. Boat was comfortabe and accommodating. There were eight of us and we had a great time. Plenty of snacks and food.

It was disappointing that the planetarium was closed, possibly still due to the effects of COVID-19, but there were more exhibits than I expected, and the content was rich. I would like to visit again on a day when there are hula lessons.

まだコロナの影響があるのか、プラネタリウムが休止中で残念でしたが、思ってた以上に展示物が多く充実した内容でした。フラレッスンがある日にまた訪れたいです。

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.

Starting from Waikiki Beach, you can have the best experience with the wind at your back. The waves are calm, and the breeze is pleasant—definitely recommended!

ワイキキビーチから出発して、風をうけて最高の体験ができる。波も穏やかで風が心地よく絶対おススメします。

The staff was humorous and made the trip enjoyable. During snorkeling, they let us know when there were turtles, and we encountered several! During the free time afterward, we were able to rent boards and floats, allowing everyone to freely enjoy the beautiful sea!

ユーモアのあるスタッフが対応してくれて移動も楽しかったです。
シュノーケルでは亀がいたら教えてくれて何匹も遭遇できました！
その後の自由時間ではボードを借りたり浮き輪を借りたりで各々自由に綺麗な海を満喫できました！

I highly recommend this! Really funny, informative and truly amazing talent.

The sandbar didn't appear due to the tide, but I had a great time playing in the sea with paddleboarding in the shallow waters. During snorkeling, I saw various fish around the coral reefs and even encountered a sea turtle. The water clarity was disappointing, but that might have been due to the weather, which was rainy and then clear. The staff were all very friendly, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was really helpful as they kindly explained things in Japanese after the English instructions. Anyway, I was really happy to enjoy the sea activities even at this age.

潮の加減でサンドバーは現れなかったけど、浅瀬でのパドルボードを使っての海遊びなど、すごく楽しめました。
シュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の周りでは色々な魚たちが見えたし、海ガメにも会えました。
海の透明度は期待外れでしたが…。雨が降ったりやんだりの天候だったせいかも…。
スタッフは皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたし、日本語の話せるスタッフもいて、英語での説明をもう一度日本語で丁寧に説明してくれてとても助かりました。
とにかく、この年になっても海遊びが楽しめたこと、嬉しかったです。

Five years ago, I was moved when I first saw this show, and on the last day of my trip to Hawaii after five years, I went again. Although I was in the second-floor seats (not reserved), I was only about ten meters away from the stage, and the seating was arranged theater-style, rising from the front to the back, so I could see the cast's expressions well. The reception at the show venue starts at 7 PM, the show begins at 7:40 PM, and ends at 9 PM. If you finish an early dinner and enter as soon as the reception starts, you can sit in a good seat right in front of the stage.

Due to the weak yen, the prices have gone up a bit, but compared to show prices in Japan, I think it's still a good deal. I especially recommend this show for fans of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The show is entirely in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can enjoy it thoroughly.

５年前に初めてこのショーを見て感激し、今回５年ぶりのハワイ旅行の最終日に再び出かけました。２階席（指定席ではない）とは言ってもステージから１０メートルくらいしか離れておらず、席は劇場スタイルに前方席から後方席にかけて高くなっているのでキャストの表情も良く見えます。ショー会場の受付開始が１９時、開演が１９時４０分、終演が２１時。ちょっと早めの夕食を済ませて、受付開始同時に入場出来ればステージ正面の良い席に座れます。
円安でちょっと料金は高くなりましたが、日本のショー料金と比べたら割安と思います。エルビスプレスリーのファンの方、マイケルジャクソンのファンの方には特におススメのショーです。ショーは全て英語ですが、英語が分からなくても十分楽しめるショーです。

Really pretty to see the sunset sky, and to enjoy an evening in Waikiki

Thank you Royal Star: for good buses, good guided, access to the Arizona ,and plenty more tme to explore Pearl Harbor

Great Evening with a large community! The show was a blast

Fun evening, good singer very talented. Worth it to have an evening on the beautiful Hawaii waters!

My family had a blast, the kids got to get involved which was great

The premium seating was awesome for the value. Food is excellent, show was amazng.

I used this for my honeymoon.
I had a great time and was very satisfied.
I'll write about the plan details and other specifics.

First of all, I felt that there was a shortage of tourists in Hawaii overall, which led to a shortage of staff.
This wasn't a complaint, but perhaps due to the lack of Japanese tourists, there were few staff members who could speak Japanese, making it a country where good English is necessary.
At the reception area, there was supposed to be a hula dancer, but unlike the photos on this site, there was only one person... (laughs)
Since there were few people at the reception, it felt a bit lonely, but they danced just for us when we asked, so I think that was lucky in a way.

I mentioned that there were few tourists, and this tour also had a small number of participants, so there was plenty of space. However, participants were seated closely together, so the distance was quite close.
Unlike in Japan, no one was wearing masks, so if you're concerned about that, I think you should bring your own mask.
Also, we were told to share pineapples at the table, so there was some interaction with the people at the same table.

Regarding the buffet food, it was set up in a way that you go to each table island to get food, so it didn't feel like a place where you could freely go back for seconds.
I apologize for my poor serving skills, but the food itself was quite delicious. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was also tasty, so I was satisfied.

Here are some photos from the Rock-a-Hula stage.
Not only hula dancing, but also impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were presented in chronological order.
Elvis felt a bit out of place due to the era, but for those in their late 20s, I think they would enjoy the Michael Jackson songs, as he only performed songs that people would recognize.
The venue can hold about 750 people, but I think there were only about 60 during our time.
It felt very sparse, and it seemed like the performers were dancing just for us.
After the show, my wife and I took a photo with Michael.

I wrote this roughly, but it was truly a fun tour.
The waiter during the meal was also dancing in the show, and I couldn't help but think it must be tough for them, but the content was wonderful.
It was sad to feel that such a great show had so few people.
It was so enjoyable that I definitely encourage everyone to participate in this tour.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
とても楽しかったので大満足でした。
プラン内容やその他の詳細書いていきます。

まずはハワイ全体として観光客不足で、それに伴って人手不足だったと感じました。
それが不満だったわけではないのですが、日本人観光客が少ないせいか、日本語を話せるスタッフも少なく、しっかり英語が必要な国になってます。
③受付スペースでフラダンスを踊ってくれていたのですが、このサイトの写真とは異なり1人だけでした、、。笑
そもそも受付している人が少ないので、少し寂しい印象でしたが、お願いすれば自分達のためだけに踊ってくれたので、それはそれでラッキーだったのかなと思います。

②観光客が少ないと書きましたが、このツアーもやはり参加者が少なく、スペースとしては余っていました。しかし、参加者同士は詰めて座らされるので距離はかなり近いです。
日本と違ってマスクしてる人なんていないので、そういうのを気にされる方はご自身でマスクをつけていくべきかと思います。
また、みんなでフラダンスを踊ったりするだけでなく、テーブルでパイナップルを分け合ってくれ、とも言われるので同じテーブルの人とは多少交流することになります。

④ビュッフェの料理ですが、テーブルの島ごとに並んで取りに行く感じなので何回も自由に取りに行く雰囲気ではないです。
私の盛り方が下手で申し訳ないのですが、ご飯自体はかなり美味しかったです。ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイも美味しかったので、満足です。

①ロック・ア・フラのステージの写真です。
フラダンスだけでなく、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンのモノマネが歴史を追って順々に披露されていく感じです。
エルビスは年代からズレているのでふーん、と言った感じでしたが、マイケルジャクソンは20代後半くらいであれば聞いたことある曲しかやらないので、楽しめると思います。
会場自体は750人入れるらしいですが、私たちの時は60人くらいだったと思います。
非常に少なく、演者の人たちが自分たちだけに踊ってくれているように感じました。
ショーの後、私と妻はマイケルと3ショットで写真を撮ってもらいました。

ザックリと書きましたが、本当に楽しいツアーでした。食事の時のウェイターの人が、ショーでも踊っていて、なんだか大変なのかなぁと思ってしまいますが、内容としては素晴らしいです。
こんなに良いショーなのにこんなに人が少ないなんて悲しい、、と感じてしまうほどでした。
とても楽しいので、ぜひ皆さんも参加していただきたいツアーです。

I think this tour is quite a bargain. After all, it includes hotel pick-up, lunch, rental bicycles, lockers, and free snorkeling and board rentals! Is there such a great tour available?

You can also shop in Kailua, swim in the beautiful sea, and we even got to see a honu (sea turtle)! Many of the staff spoke Japanese and were very helpful in answering any questions we had! Natsue, Emi, and Tomo were all friendly and pleasant!

I highly recommend this tour! ♪

このツアーはかなりお得だと思います。
何しろホテルまで送迎付き、ランチ付き、レンタル自転車付き、ロッカー有り、シュノーケリングやボードも無料で貸してくれる！
こんなお得なツアーあるでしょうか？

カイルアで買い物も出来るし、綺麗な海でも泳げるし、何とホヌにも会えました！
スタッフも日本語分かる方が多く、分からない事は丁寧に教えてくれました！
なつえさん、えみさん、ともくん、みんな気さくで感じ良かったです！
お世話になりました！

とてもおすすめのツアーです♪

This is my first time joining the Luau dinner with Polynesian Show. When we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greeting us. The Luau dinner was tasty. But the line was moving a bit slow. Buffet dinner was starting at 6pm, but when we started getting the food, it was already passed 6:30pm. Not enough time to enjoy the food.
The show was spectacular. Great music and dance including Polynesian and Contemporary choreography. The fire knife dance was scary awesome. I highly recommend this show if you are interested in a lively, entertaining night in Honolulu!

One of the most memorable things we have ever experienced. I genuinely felt like family! We will recommend this to everyone we know!

The Luau dinner and Rock-A-Hula are situated at a very convenient location. The Luau buffet-style dinner had many different options including roast pig and dessert. The line was moving a bit slow. Not enough time to enjoy the food. The Rock-A-Show was very good. Really enjoyed the hula dancers and singing. Overall it is a great activity if you like dinner and show.
