I've been to luaus before but was pleasantly surprised to see the variety of mini activities spread throughout the village, as well as series of cultural demonstrations leading up to the main event. The singing was phenomenal and the dancers were great.

Over 100 performers showcase songs and dances in a storytelling format. I've seen various luau shows, but this one is completely theatrical. Fortunately, I was seated in the front row, and I could feel the heat from the fire show, which was incredibly powerful.
Before the show starts, a Japanese guide takes you around the vast Polynesian Center, which was truly appreciated. For first-time visitors, it's easy to get lost and confused about where everything is.
100人以上の演者が物語形式で歌や踊りを披露します。ルアウショーは色々と見ましたが、こちらは完全に演劇です。幸運にも一番前の席に座れて、ファイアーショーの火の熱まで伝わって来てすごい迫力でした。
ショーが始まる前に広大なポリネシアセンターを日本人のガイドさんが回ってくれるのですが、これが本当にありがたかったです。初めて訪れる人はどこに何があるか掴めずグダグダになること間違いないです。

"It truly felt like the real Hawaii!" It was the best night ever. The transportation from Waikiki was easy and convenient. Upon arriving at the Hawaii Country Club, we were welcomed by relaxing Hawaiian music, which instantly lifted our spirits. The food was full of local flavors, and everything was delicious, leaving us very satisfied. The hula dance show was incredibly graceful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by it.

This is the first luau that our family has been to and they did not disappoint. Our driver was happy and funny. The entire evening was fabulous. The pick up was easy. The games and crafts were fun. We got pictures taken and they turned out great. My son is a culinary student and loved seeing how they prepared the pig. The show was amazing. It was wonderful to see the different styles of dancing from different cultures. The food was great. The desserts were a bit of a letdown as they were either dry or had very little flavor. It was expensive but compared to other luau’s they charge the same thing. This is definitely the one to go to if you want a cultural experience.
Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a good time.

Unfortunately, I'm not good at English and can hardly speak or understand it, but my desire to see a powerful luau won out, and I decided to participate! I'm really glad I joined.

The entire show is very well put together. The ambiance is incredible. The staff was amazing. We were greeted with hospitality the entire time. The food was delicious.
Not only did we get a great show with all the dancers, fire twirling, and music, we also got the history of the culture and people behind it all.
On top of that, they also threw in humor.
It was highly entertaining!
This show is a must see! It does not disappoint!

I participated with my daughter and four grandchildren. It started with a welcome drink, and before the show began, we had tattoos drawn on us and enjoyed activities like javelin throwing and canoeing—there was so much to do! At the beach, we saw seals lying around, which was a sight we don't often get to see. When the show started, the kids also participated in hula dancing on stage, and there were singing and dancing performances, including an impressive fire dance. It was a wonderful experience!

I participated in a luau recommended by my mother's hula teacher. There were no Japanese people at all, so it's great for those who want to fully enjoy a foreign experience. All the explanations were in English, so there were times when I didn't quite understand what was being said, but when I checked with the staff, they kindly explained everything to me.
Upon arrival, there were various activities taking place, and when I participated in the javelin throw, I received a shell lei (it’s okay if you don’t hit the target). You can enjoy hula lessons and a pig roast show even before the luau starts.
The food was surprisingly delicious. The pork was particularly tasty. The card you receive upon participation, which has money loaded onto it, can be used at the large souvenir shop and the spacious drink counter, as well as for photo opportunities. However, it cannot be used at the small souvenir shop and drink counter next to the buffet.
The show was great as well, with various dances to enjoy.
母のフラの先生オススメのルアウということで参加してみました。
日本人は全くいないので、完全なる異国を楽しみたい方はオススメ。説明はすべて英語なので、たまに何言ってるかわからないときがありましたが、改めて担当の方に確認したら丁寧に教えてくれました。
現地に到着したら様々なアクティビティが開催されており、やり投げに参加したら貝のレイをもらえました(当たらなくてもOK)。
フラレッスンや豚の丸焼きショーなど、ルアウ開始前から楽しめます。
食事も想像以上に美味しいです。豚が美味しかったです。
参加時にもらえるお金がチャージされたカードは広いお土産屋さんと広いドリンクカウンター、写真撮影に使えます。ブッフェ右横の小さなお土産屋とドリンクカウンターでは使えません。
ショーも様々なダンスが見れて良かったです。

It was an exotic experience centered around a luau show and Polynesian cultural experiences.
First, regarding the luau show, it is entirely in English, which is to be expected. I think other luau shows are not much different, so you should accept that.
The show features fire dancing and audience participation, making it enjoyable. The meal is a buffet and the taste is decent. I'm happy there are plenty of vegetables. Water and coffee are free, while alcoholic drinks are charged.
The audience consisted of only one family from Korea, not to mention Japanese or other Asian attendees, which added to the exotic atmosphere.
Depending on the plan, you can receive a $16 gift card, which you can use for drinks or souvenirs.
Before the show, you can enjoy activities like making flower crowns, experiencing body painting, and trying out Polynesian games. There was no aggressive tipping, and I had a great time.
ルアウショーとポリネシアン文化の体験やショーがメインの異国情緒漂う体験でした。
まず、ルアウショーですが、全編英語です。当たり前ですが。他のルアウショーも大差ないと思うのでそこは諦めてください。
ショーはファイアーダンスあり、観客参加ありと楽しいです。食事はビュッフェで味はまぁまぁ。野菜が多いのが嬉しいですよ。ドリンクは水とコーヒーは無料。アルコール類は有料です。
観客は日本人どころかアジア系も韓国の家族連れの方が一組のみ。とっても異国感です。
プランによっては16ドル分のギフトカードが貰えます。お酒でもお土産でも好きなものをどうぞ。
ショーまでは花冠を作ったり、ペイントの入墨体験があったり、ポリネシアの遊び体験があったりで色々と楽しめます。チップにがっつく様子もなく、楽しく過ごせました。
If you understand English, you'll enjoy it even more... For now, let's remember the bus number if there is a shuttle service.

The various workshops and experience events, such as lei making, really captured the Polynesian atmosphere and were enjoyable. My child was delighted to take pictures with a parrot.
The show was very authentic, featuring not only female dancers but also male hula dancers, and we enjoyed both traditional dances from various countries (hula kahiko and Tahitian 'ote'a) and contemporary dances (hula 'auana and Tahitian aparima). The dancers were very skilled, and it was not just a show dance but truly impressive. The hosts, singers, and backing musicians were also wonderful, and the food was delicious, making it a very memorable luau experience.
Although the entire presentation was in English and there was no Japanese support, I felt that using a translation app would solve any issues.
レイメイキングなどの各種ワークショップや体験イベントはポリネシアンの雰囲気がとても出ていて楽しめました。
こどもはオウムと写真を撮れて喜んでいました。
ショーはとても本格的で、女性ダンサーだけでなく男性のカネダンサーもおり、各国の伝統的なダンス(フラカヒコやタヒチアンオテア)と現代風ダンス(フラアウアナやタチヒアンアパリマ)どれもとても楽しめました。
