This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time experiencing a full-fledged dance and dinner show. I think the concept was "traditional Hawaiian cuisine," so I can't honestly say it was "delicious," but it was a good experience.
I had allergies, so I contacted the address listed on the website in advance, but I received no reply. Even after sending a reminder, I still got no response. However, on the day of the event, when I mentioned, "I have allergies," they responded with something like, "I know, leave it to me!" and brought out dishes that accommodated my allergies. To be honest, I would have appreciated a reply if they had seen my email.
Also, it was disappointing that the scallop dish turned into a salad mainly consisting of baby greens (and without any dressing at all), which felt like a significant downgrade in the menu.
That said, the show itself, including the dance, was wonderful, and I was glad I paid a little extra to secure seats closer to the front! (The venue is quite large, and if you're at the very back, you're pretty far from the stage.)
After the show ended and we finished our meal, we left, but there were others taking photos with the dancers, so I think it's a good idea to speak up if you want to take pictures.
4回目のハワイ旅行でしたが、本格的なダンス&ディナーショーは初めてでした。料理は「ハワイの伝統料理」がコンセプトだったと思うので「おいしい」とは正直言えない感じでしたが・・いい経験になりました。
アレルギーがあったので事前にHPに載っていたアドレスに連絡するも返信なし、リマインドするも返信なしでしたが、当日「アレルギーがあるんだけど」と伝えたら「知ってるよ、任せて!」みたいに言われて、アレルギー対応された料理が運ばれてきました。メール見たなら返信欲しかった、というのが正直なところでした。
そして、ホタテがベビーリーフメインのサラダ(しかもドレッシング等いっさいかかっていない)になるなど、かなりランクダウンなメニューになってしまったのも残念でした。
ただ、ダンス含め、ショー自体はすばらしく、数千円上乗せして前の席を確保してよかったと思いました!(結構会場は広く1番後ろだとステージから結構遠いので)
ショーも終わり、料理も食べ終えたところで私たちは帰ったのですが、ダンサーさんたちと写真を撮ってる方もいたので、撮りたい方は声をかけてみるといいと思います。

This was my family and I’s first time going to a luau. The atmosphere was very fun and welcoming. The dancers did a great job, especially the chief that danced with the fire. The drinks were nice and I like that we had unlimited soft drinks. The only downside is that the buffet was a bit underwhelming. Overall, my family and I enjoyed ourselves.

I was completely satisfied with the scenery, food, and shows. Although I could hardly communicate in Japanese, everyone tried their best to talk to me, and it worked out somehow. The round-trip shuttle bus was surprisingly lively! I will definitely be coming back.
景色、食事、ショー、全てに大満足でした。
日本語は全くと言ってよいほど通じませんでしたが、どの場面でも一生懸命話してくれて何とかなりました。
往復の送迎バスでもビックリするほどの盛り上がりw

We thoroughly enjoyed the live singing and cultural experience.
The venue was next to Sheraton, we opted for premium seating which had front row seat to the show and more drinks.
The bartender who clearly wasn't happy to be there (there's table service we found which were much more pleasant), so we avoided the bartender there onwards.
The food was lovely except for the 2nd course where 4 sources of protein were served (chicken, fish, pork and something else) and it was heavy.
The highlight were the singing and dancers, we had a really lovely time and the weather was superb with the beach background and gosh what a beautiful sunset.

With the Royal Hawaiian Hotel behind us, we enjoyed a hula dance show in a charming square while learning about Hawaii's history. All the guidance was in English from the reception, but the staff were warm and welcoming, making for a very comfortable experience. The staff came to our table to confirm drink orders, and dinner was served buffet-style, allowing us to help ourselves. During the welcome activity, we could freely visit a corner showcasing traditional Hawaiian crafts from our table, taking photos and having fun. People from various countries gathered around their tables, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an American garden party. The food was delicious, and the show was substantial, making for a truly satisfying experience!
ロイヤルハワイアンホテルを背中に、趣のある広場でハワイの歴史に触れながら見るフラダンスショーでした。
案内は受付から全て英語ですが、スタッフの方々が温かく対応してくださりとても居心地の良い時間を過ごしました。
ドリンクはスタッフの方がテーブルまでオーダー確認に来てくださり、ディナーはビュッフェ形式で自由に取りに行けます。
ウェルカムアクティビティではハワイの伝統工芸などを見るコーナーに自分のテーブルから自由に行き来し、写真を撮ったりして楽しめました。
様々な国の方がそれぞれテーブルを囲んで盛り上がっており、まさにアメリカンなガーデンパーティーと言った雰囲気です。
お料理も美味しく、ショーの内容もボリュームがあり大満足な体験でした!

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。

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。

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.
