Chief's Luau

Reviewed by: Tim and Pam

Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー＜ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内＞

The hula dance was overwhelming. ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした

Reviewed by: 旅はみちづれ

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.

Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.

6/4（日）のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで（日本のホテルのバイキング／ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン）、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

The fun really starts when you get on the nice air conditioned bus. Our host on the bus was hilarious all the way to our destination. The show is in a wetnwild but honestly I forgot about half way to the beginning of the show. The food was good and the dancers were better. The chief was also a funny man and although you do get this amazing entertainment, you also get a little bit of history of the people of the islands. Overall it was a great show. We even got a souvenir

Best Lua in Honolulu

Reviewed by: Devy

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.

The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

Aloha Kai Luau at Sea Life Park - Oahu Dinner Buffet, Cultural Activities & Polynesian Fire Dance

Fantastic evening! Great Oahu Luau!

Reviewed by: Julie_MC

What a fantastic evening we had at Aloha Kai Luau! The stunning venue located on the lawn area of Sea Life Park boasts breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean overlooking Makapuu Beach - it's truly something special. This intimate luau experience is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds of other shows in Oahu. Families with little ones will love the pre-show cultural activities that are both fun and educational.

The venue is situated on the lush lawn area of Sea Life Park and offers stunning views of both mountains and the ocean overlooking Makapuu Beach. The drive itself is an adventure, passing by breathtaking sights on the way. While the seating arrangement could be improved slightly for a more comfortable experience, every seat offers a great view of the show.

Dinner was delicious with plenty of options for everyone. The bar offers beers, wine, seltzers, and mai tai cocktails and there are two premium cocktails options as well.
The show is a great experience and the dancers are incredibly talented. The torch ceremony and fire knife show were my personal favorites. Overall, this is an evening not to be missed!

Fun time at a Hawaii luau!

Reviewed by: L.S. Yamanaka

Not only were the views awesome, but the food, performances, and activities were a ton of fun, and my friend and I are hella happy that we chose this luau.

It was great being able to walk through the aquarium to see the fish and sharks, and the large turtle pool was really neat. The turtles were swimming and snoozing, and just a nice chill time before heading into the luau.

With our mai tais in hand, we tried all of the different activities and lessons, and worked up quite the appetite before dinner was served :P Our bellies were stuffed with yummy fish, chicken, pork, and a bunch of other kinds of food, and I was surprised at how good everything tasted. Luau buffets can be pretty hit or miss, and this one was a HIT! :D

Love love LOVED the show, and each song and dance showcased a different part of the Polynesian islands, and their was one performer who was absolutely hilarious~

Overall, would totally recommend!

The show was good. ショーは良かったです

Reviewed by: モカテン

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.

After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.

Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.

何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか？と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。

Reviewed by: みっち

We participated with my parents, making a group of four. It took 90 minutes by bus from Waikiki (there was traffic in the evening). We signed up for the deluxe course. We were satisfied with our seats in the front row for the show.

There wasn't enough time for activities before the show, so we could only get a tattoo. We also received a $20 shopping card, but it seems it could only be used at the entrance shop... When I tried to use it at a stall to buy earrings, I was told it couldn't be used there. In the end, I used it for drinks since we ran out of time.

The meal portions were too large, and I ended up leaving about 80% of it. What a waste... The fire dance was impressive! We were able to take a group photo at the beginning, and it was great that we received copies for everyone along with our souvenirs at the end.

両親と私たち夫婦の4人で参加しました。
ワイキキからバスで90分（夕方で渋滞がありました）。デラックスコースで申し込みしました。
ショーを観る座席は最前列で満足でした。
ショーの前のアクティビティは時間がなくて、タトゥーしか出来ませんでした。20ドルの買い物カードも受け取りましたが、入り口の店でしか使えないみたいで…他の屋台みたいなところでピアスを買ったら使えないと言われ。
結局、時間がなくなりドリンクで使いました。
食事は量が多すぎて、８割残してしまいました。もったいなかった…。
ファイアーダンスは迫力がありました！
最初に集合写真を撮って貰えたのですが、終わりにお土産と一緒に人数分もらえたのがとても良かったです。

The excitement of the bus ride there and back. 行き帰りのバスのテンション

Reviewed by: skyblue787

We were picked up by a large bus, and it seemed like we were the only Japanese people on it. The bus guide during the trip was always quite high-energy and entertaining (though some might find it a bit loud). There were also few Japanese people at the venue. Since it's by the sea, if the weather is nice, you can see a beautiful sunset, and I recommend it for those who want to experience an overseas atmosphere with fewer Japanese people around.

大型バスで送迎してもらいましたが、日本人は恐らく私たちだけでした。行き帰りのバスのガイドが常にかなりのハイテンションで面白かったです（人によってはうるさいと感じるかもしれませんが）。会場も日本人が少ないです。海沿いですので天気が良ければサンセットも綺麗に見えますし、日本人少なめで海外の雰囲気を味わいたい方にはお勧めです。

Reviewed by: あーちゃん

I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.

感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。

My new wife and I celebrated our marriage by visiting this place. It was phenomenal. I suggest you pay the extra money and upgrade to the royalty package. We sat right in front of the stage, were served our food and drinks, no need to get in line, given two commemorative bags for hot or cold food, and enjoyed ourselves so much. The host on the tour bus, Sia, gets Five gold stars and 100 thumbs up. She was so entertaining. Even when coming back, she was interactive at an exponential level. We are so impressed and happy when we think of her and the luau.
We will certainly be doing this again. Hopefully soon.

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.
