70代の母(英語はほぼ不可)と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると(本格的な踊りが始まる前に)、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います!
あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです!

The Luau was amazing. The views were beautiful, the activities were fun, and the food was delicious. Also My mother is handicapped and it was very easy for her to get around in her motorized scooter. My husband and 2 year old son also had a blast. Overall well worth it and I would go again.

Pretty good transportation to and from the luau. Lots of activities for both oldies and young ones. Having been to the same luau about 5 years ago, it was good to see that they changed their dinner program and made it still interesting.
Getting to the luau site early proved to be beneficial as you can enjoy games and other activities available. Food was substantial, although not much options for vegetarians. Dessert was also pretty subpar. Over-all though, pretty good value for your money.

In Honolulu for business, I had just one day free and wanted to make the best of it. Ending the day with the Chief's Luau was the best decision I could have made. The show was the best part, really phenomenal entertainment and well worth the price. The ride out to the venue held spectacular views. Loved the whole experience.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER leave reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. So, this is my way of giving back.
My boyfriend and I went to Hawaii in the middle of Oct. This was our first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! You can't go to Hawaii for the first time w/o attending a luau :-) They picked us up from our hotel at 3:30 pm. It was a long drive, took about 45 min. There is an entertainer on the bus to keep everyone awake. Once we got there we were given a mai tai & took a professional photo with a female & male dancer. Before the dinner you can walk around & play games, enjoy the scenery, etc. There were also small shows in between such as a hula lesson, the pig roasting, etc, Once dinner starts you enjoy the rest of the show that is on stage. It is very interactive as they ask for volunteers to come on stage. My favorite part was the fire juggler. The dinner was okay, but there are options for vegetarians & people who do not eat pork. The bar had really good drinks! My boyfriend had the paradise punch & I had the melon colada which was delicious! We did purchase the professional pic that was taken of us, which is a nice memory :-)
Overall, I would recommend especially if this is your first time in Hawaii. We returned to our hotel at about 10 pm, so round trip it is an all night event.

My wife and I had a great time at the Luau. We booked early and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. We had booked the Deluxe package. Well we were greeted and received a lei and then escorted to our seats. He informed us of the activities and presented us with drink tickets and vouchers to buy at their store. We then took a canoe ride, took pictures with the exotic birds, checked out the Lei making. By this time we went to get drinks and noticed the marque scrolling and saw our names wishing us a Happy Anniversary it made my wife happy. They then called everyone over and the pig was dug up for everyone to see and smell as they paraded it by everyone. We then sat down and had dinner served to us. What a great meal and then the show began it was a great show even the audience members were picked and got envolved. All in all a good time had by all.

As our first time in Hawaii, we couldn't have asked for a better host/guide than Cousin Mo! He kept us laughing and entertained the whole way there and back! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a flower lei and a kukui nut lei. As we entered we were offered a Mai Tai and the option to take a photo with a hula girl/fire dancer. As you go in you see this breathtaking view overlooking the ocean. And there's so many activities to do, so you're never bored. Than right before the meal you're entertained by hula dancers while two men pull the feast pig from underground who than walk around displaying the pig. As recommended we mixed the "Poi" with soy sauce and ate it with the pulled pork; So delicious! During the meal we were entertained with music, dancers and a fire show. The ride back home was just as entertaining, as I said, thanks to Cousin Mo I will always think of him when i hear Whitney Houston. Definitely would recommend the Deluxe package! The best time ever!

友達と二人参加でした。
日本人が、私たちしかいなく最初不安になりましたが、なんの問題も有りませんでした。
行きのバスは、観光付きの送迎のようで、多少英語が分かれば楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーも今まで色々のもの見てますが、かなり楽しいです。
夕方からの参加で、程よい9時頃ホテルに戻れるのも魅力です。
夕方から予定がないなら、ぜひいったほうがいいですよ。

過去の書き込みを見ますと外人率が高いって書き込みがありますが、本当にその通りでした。
送迎バスの中でも、現地でもアウェー感ハンパありません(笑)お客の99%は外人さんです。諦めて下さい。
ガイドさんが何を言っているのか、なぜ皆んな盛り上がっているのかチンプンカンプンでしたが勢いで楽しんできました。
帰りのバスの号車と思われる番号を何度も繰り返し話しているので、それさえ聞きそびれなければちゃんとワイキキに戻って来る事は出来ます。
マイタイを受け取り、入り口でマッチョなお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんに挟まれ写真を
撮ります。デラックスコースは、料金に含まれてますので、最高の笑顔で写りましょう。
会場内に入ると、席の案内をされます。その後、ショーが始まるまでは席でのんびりアルコールを楽しむも良し、色々な催しを見て楽しむも良しです。
会場内での支払に使えるカードを渡されますので、飲み物代お土産代に使って下さい。
ショー自体のレベルは、まぁどこも同じくらいなのかな?って感じです。日本人を対象として無いので日本語は殆どありませんでした。それでも伝統あるフラショーを見たいって方は、是非ここに限らずルアウしょーに行かれてはいかがかと思います。
食べ物は食べきれ無いほど出されます。デラックスコースは、スタッフが配膳してくれますので何のしんぱいも要りません。他の方はバイキング形式になります。
甘々デサートまで完食して大満足なルアウショーでした。
やはりこの手のものは日本人よりもパーティ慣れしている外人さんの方が一枚も二枚も上手でした。

This is the only luau I have attended, but I can't imagine one being more enjoyable than this one. The pick-up service was right on time at the scheduled location and the drive over to Sea Life Park was quick considering the time of departure. The pre-dinner activities were fun and I picked up a piece of local artwork from a vendor that has become my favorite Hawaiian collectible. Dinner was very good and I'm still thinking of how yummy the coconut cake was! Chief was very entertaining and the other performers really put their native pride into the show. I would certainly recommend this luau experience!
