The entertainment was top-notch and the food was delicious. I loved the different portions of entertainment that were designed around the various cultures that came together through history to make Hawaii what it is today. It was exactly the kind of experience and education I was hoping for.
Our tour bus did get stuck in some traffic and was slower due to picking up guests from multiple locations, and while I felt like that luau did their best to hold off on the main event (dinner and show) until we arrived (which I greatly appreciated), we did miss out on getting the full experience listed on the events description (i.e. "Interact up close and personal with your Pacific Island hosts with Hawaiian crafts, hula lessons, coconut husking, fire making, weaving, tattooing, and more. ") So if those activities are important to you, you might want to consider booking private transportation to the luau instead of taking the group shuttle option to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get the full experience.

My friends and I had a great time during this luau! There were a lot of activities to learn traditional manners of cooking, delicious food to eat, and an outstanding show with dance from all the Polynesian islands. I would truly recommend this experience to everyone! Everyone that worked there was very personable as well. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to actually explore the valley but I heard great things about that. I would definitely leave time before to go to the waterfall.

I recommend a dinner show for your first day in Hawaii. If you have to choose, I suggest the Diamond show. You can enjoy it from the front row, and the food was very delicious. Also, the Hawaiian-style experience before dinner was exciting.
ハワイ1日目にお薦めのディナーショーです。
選ぶならダイヤモンドをお勧めします。最前列で楽しめ、ご飯もとても美味しかった。

"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.
「これぞ本場ハワイ!」と思える、最高の夜でした。
ワイキキから送迎付きで移動もラクラク。会場のハワイ・カントリークラブに到着すると、まずはゆったりしたハワイアンミュージックに迎えられ、気分が一気に高まりました。料理はローカル感たっぷりで、どれも美味しくて大満足。フラダンスのショーはとても優雅で、思わず見入ってしまいました。

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.

This luau far exceeded our expectations!
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!
Be sure to upgrade for the front row table seating.

The opening is at 17:15 and it's first come, first served, but the actual opening is at 17:30, and you will be guided to your seats while taking photos, which makes it extremely late. Additionally, you will be split into two groups for seating, so just lining up early doesn’t guarantee good seats. The meal is a typical buffet style, but if you don’t grab everything in one round, they start clearing it away quickly. It’s tough, but I recommend taking two plates to get your food. Just when I thought the show was getting exciting, it ended nearly an hour earlier than expected. (It was supposed to end around 20:15, but it actually ended at 19:20.) It was so bad that I requested a refund, but I was told it was not eligible. The staff at Veltra were very sincere in their response, but the event itself was the worst.
The following note seems to be the basis for this:
By the way, the weather on the day was clear, and there were no traffic jams, yet we experienced the issues mentioned above. I strongly recommend going to see a different show.
-------Confirmation details at the time of booking--------
> Confirmation items before booking > Others
> The tour schedule may change or be canceled due to weather, traffic conditions, etc.
開場が17:15かつ早いもの順と言っていますが、17:30に開場、写真を撮りながら席へ案内されるためめちゃくちゃ遅くなります。また、途中から二手に分かれて座席へ案内されるようになるため早く並んでいたから良い席になるわけではありません。食事は良くあるビュッフェスタイルですが、1周で取りきらないとあっという間に片付けが始まります。大変ですけどお皿を2枚もって料理を取ることをお勧めします。ショーが始まって盛り上がってきたと思ったら想定よりも1時間近く早く終了しました。(20:15ごろ終了とのことでしたが、実際は19:20でした)あまりにひどいので返金対応を求めましたが、対象外との返事でした。
ベルトラの方には誠心誠意対応していただきましたが、催事自体は最悪です。
以下の注意書きが根拠だそうです。
ちなみに当日の天候は晴れ、交通渋滞などはないにもかかわらず、
上記のようなことになります。
別のショーを見に行くことを強くお勧めします。

Basically, it's better not to book this tour. If you absolutely must book it, be prepared for the possibility that it may be held in a very short version and that you won't receive a refund.
基本的にこのツアーは予約しない方が良いです。どうしてもこのツアーを予約するなら超ショートバージョンで開催されても返金されないことを覚悟のうえで予約しましょう。

You will be watching the fireworks in the same area as those who are not participating in the luau. Additionally, people who are not participating can also view the show from outside. The dining time is short, and I couldn't even finish three drinks. Even though there were still tickets available, they abruptly closed the event. At this price, I think it would be much better to go to another restaurant.
花火はルアウに参加していない人と同じエリアで見ることになります。
また、ショーも参加してない人も外から見れます。
食事の時間も短く、ドリンク3杯も使いきれません。まだチケットが余ってるのにもう終了と無理矢理締め切られました。
この金額であれば他のレストランに行った方がよっぽど良いと思います。

The luau show and the fire show were wonderful. The tattoo experience was also great, and I got a unique flower design. I could choose designs like turtles or tribal patterns for the tattoo. Of course, since it was done with a permanent marker, it faded by the next day.
The food was just okay—neither good nor bad.
I was able to see a beautiful sunset from the venue, and on Friday night, I watched fireworks that were among the best I've ever seen.
ルアウショーも、ファイヤーショーも素敵でした。タトゥー体験も素敵で個性的な花を描いてもらいました。タトゥーは亀とか部族の柄も選べました。もちろん油性マジックなので、次の日には消えました。
食事内容はまあまあです。可もなく不可もなくといった感じ。
会場から素敵な夕日も見れたし、金曜日の夜で花火を見たのですが、人生最高に近い花火でした。

The voucher issued states that the check-in location is "Hilton Hawaiian Village - Mid-Pacific Conference Center Rooftop." I heard that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I planned to arrive early and wait on the rooftop for a good seat. However, even after the scheduled time, no reception staff or anyone else showed up, and the local contact number was unreachable as the business hours had ended. In the end, I just had to go down to the venue and check in directly after the scheduled time. Unfortunately, I ended up at the back of the line and couldn't get a good seat, which was very disappointing. The luau show itself was good.
発行されたバウチャーには、チェックイン場所が「ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ - ミッドパシフィック・コンファレンス・センター屋上」となっています。
席は先着順と聞いたため、良い席を取りたいと考え予定の時間より早く屋上に集合して待っていましたが、予定時間を過ぎても受付スタッフも誰も現れず、現地連絡先の電話番号も営業時間が終了しておりつながらず。結局時間を過ぎて会場まで下りて行って直接受付すればよいだけでした。おかげで列の最後の並んでよい席は取れず、大変残念でした。
ルアウショー自体はよかったです。
