I am a native Hawaiian so I know my way around a luau. I was home visiting family and decided to take my wife and kids to Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park Hawaii. I must say it was THE BEST luau I have ever been to. The food was excellent as I usually go to a luau for the food first and show second. The show was even better as Chief was the perfect showman with talent to burn. Speaking of burn, the fire dancers were simply AMAZING!! The entire show was dazzling as each Polynesian country were represented in true artistry. What an amazing show with some of the most delicious authentic Hawaiian food I have ever tasted. My only complaint, and its a small one, is that there was no haupia for dessert.

I participated on my last night in Hawaii. I was torn between the Polynesian Center and Hilton, but considering the fatigue of my elderly parents, I chose Hilton. I also considered Golden Circle, but I was glad I chose Hilton since we arrived a bit late and still got pretty good seats. The show was decent (the Polynesian show I saw in Guam might have been better…). However, it was only in English, so I didn’t understand the talk very well. The meal was a buffet, and the flavors suited Japanese tastes, so I felt comfortable eating everything. It included two drinks, and the price seemed reasonable. Overall, it was very good.
ハワイ最後の夜に参加しました。ポリネシアセンターと迷いましたが、高齢の両親と一緒なので
移動の疲れを考えてヒルトンにしました。ゴールデンサークルも迷ったけど、少し遅れて到着しても結構良い席だったので選んでよかったです。ショーはそこそこよかったです(グアムで見たポリネシアンショーの方がよかったかも…)ただ英語オンリーなのでトークはよくわかりませんでした。食事はブッフェですが、日本人の口に合う味でどの料理も安心して食べられました。
2ドリンク付きだし、価格はこんなものでしょうか。総合的にとてもよかったです。

Fantastic. We were made to feel Welcome to the Beautiful Island. The presentation
was very authentic performed with passion. We really felt as if The Chief had gathered
the best of the best to reflect the special times of island life. The venue is the perfect
size and the interaction during the Meet & Greet time with games and conversation
could only be described as welcomed interaction.
Thank You for the pride of heritage and reality in which all was presented.
Gorgeous view of the bay behind the Stage complimented the performance of these
proud islanders.
Thank You

I participated on the first day I arrived in Hawaii. They were inviting people to the Golden Circle seats in order of arrival, so if you want to be in the front row, it might be best to arrive early and line up. You could get food from the people at your table, but there was quite a time difference between the first person who went to the buffet and the last person. The finale of the show featured a breathtaking fire dance.
ハワイに着いた初日に参加させてもらいました。ゴールデンサークル席も、早く着いた人からどんどん席に招待してくれていたので、最前列がよければ早く行って並んでいたほうがいいかもしれません。料理は席の人から取りにいくことができたのですが、はじめにビュッフェに行った人と最後の人とでは、だいぶ時間差がありました。ショーの最後はファイヤーダンスで圧巻のダンスでした。

I made a reservation because I wanted to show it to my mother who does hula dancing. When I arrived early and stood in line, there were a lot of foreigners... Personally, I thought it was great because I want to find places in Hawaii that aren't crowded with Japanese people. Before the show started, there was a service where they would draw tattoos with a marker, and my 17-year-old daughter was thrilled to have it done by a super handsome dancer. I want to go again.
フラダンスをやっている母に見せたいと予約しました。
早めに着いて、並んでいると外国人の方がたくさん・・・
個人的にはハワイでもあまり日本人が集まるところじゃないところを探したいので、いいなと思っていました。
ショーが始まる前にタトウ―をマジックで書いてくれるサービスがあり、17才の娘は超イケメンのダンサーに書いてもらいウキウキ。

We were a group of 7 and attended this event on the night of our arrival. The food was really good for a mass serving and the show was fantastic. It was, in fact, wheelchair accessible and all the folks we cam into contact with couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.
I read other comments downplaying the fact that we were on top of a parking garage but that didn't detract from our enjoyment one bit!

- It's close to the stage, but since it's just one table away, it's not that different.
- You can receive a lei made of fresh flowers.
- You can go get your food early during the meal.
So, honestly, a regular seat is perfectly fine. The food is the same. The show was absolutely wonderful.
I received a message that the meeting time is at 5 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM and the show starts around 6 or 7 PM, so I think it would be better to arrive a bit later to avoid the line at the entrance.
ーステージに近い、でもテーブル1個分なのでそんなに違わない
ー生の花のレイがもらえる
ー食事のとき早めに取りに行ける
なので、正直普通の席で問題ありません。食事も同じ。
ショーはとっても素晴らしかったです。
集合時間17時と連絡ありますが、開場が17時でショーは18時、19時くらいから始まるので
ちょっとずらしてきたほうが入口の行列に並ばなくてすむとおもいます。

The show was impressive and very enjoyable. I rated it four stars because it was hot and sunny until sunset, but the service was very pleasant, as they offered drinks to the kids and provided two leis. The buffet was delicious and catered to Japanese tastes, so I even had some sushi that I wouldn't typically eat in Hawaii. I would love to participate again.
迫力あるショーでとても楽しかったです。
日没まで、日が当たり暑かったので、星4つにしましたが、ドリンクを子供にサービスしてくれたり、レイを二つ掛けてくれたりと、とても感じの良い接客でした。

We decided to go see authentic dance at the request of my wife's father. He was very excited about the Tahitian dance and was thrilled, saying, "That hip-shaking dance was great!" He was so into it that he plans to buy a video of Tahitian dance as soon as we return home. I was able to do a good deed for my father-in-law, who experienced his first trip abroad. Thank you very much.
妻のお父さんの希望で、本場のダンスを見にいく事になりました。タヒチアンダンスにお父さんも大興奮で、”あの尻振りダンスは良かった”と大喜びしていました。

We participated with four family members and our grandmother.
To secure good seats, we lined up early for the circle seats. Thanks to that, we were seated in the front row, which was great for my mother, who has weak eyesight. We were able to go get food and enjoyed a lot of our favorites.
For drinks, we chose from the cocktails that were brought around. I started with a Mai Tai and then had a Blue Hawaii. They were very delicious, but it was a bit disappointing that the containers were clear cups. The food was also well-received by my grandmother, and there were meals for the children as well, which was nice.
The show became very exciting in the second half, and my wife was pulled onto the stage by a dancer to participate. There were many foreigners, and I think it’s more fun to join in without being shy. The final fire dance was spectacular, and the children were captivated. By the way, the announcements were only in English, so we found the MC parts a bit hard to follow.
It was a Hawaiian show that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy, and it became a wonderful memory.
親子4人と祖母で参加しました。
良席を確保のために、サークル席ですが早めにならんで待ちました。
そのおかげでしょうか最前列の席にとうされ、視力の弱い母にはよかったです。
私たちから食事を取りに行けて、好きなものをたくさんいただきました。
飲み物はある程度、向こうからもってきたカクテルから選らんていました。
マイタイからはじまり、ブルーハワイをいただいたかな。
とても美味しかったですが、容器がクリアのコップだったのが残念でした。
料理は祖母にも好評で、子供たち用の食事もありよかったです。
ショーが後半大変盛り上がり、妻がダンサーに手をひかれて参加しました。
外人が多く、はずかしがらずに一緒に盛り上がった方が楽しいと思います。
最後のファイアーダンスは迫力満点で、子供たちも釘付けでした。
ちなみに、こちらは英語のアナウンスのみで我々にはMCの部分が分かりづらかったです。
子供から高齢者まで楽しめる、ハワイアンショーで良い思い出になりました。

After swimming with the dolphins at Sea Life Park, we simply walked back through the park to the Luau (very convenient). We were greeted warmly with a shell necklace and photo op with the Chief, and then got to enjoy some games (spear tossing, a Polynesian version of musical chairs (except with sticks), braiding palm leaves to make head-bands, and hula dancing). There were also some tables with native-made goods for sale. Then the Chief led the unveiling ceremony of the roasted pig (he is very entertaining and funny), got our non-alcoholic drinks and food (which was very tasty, especially the pineapple cake!), and then enjoyed the show. The hula dancers were very talented, the fire dancers where great, and it was neat to see all the different dance styles of the islands that were represented. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary, so we got to go up on stage with some other couples and they honored us with some pretty flowers! The only down-side was that the location is a little small, but other than that, we had a great time!

Actually, my wife teaches hula in Japan, so I am quite familiar with it. However, since my wife's sister was visiting Hawaii for the first time, we decided to take her to see a hula and Hawaiian show on the terrace of the Hilton Hotel. The show included Tahitian dance and some slightly arranged hula, and if you view it as a show, it was enjoyable enough. The food was standard and didn't change much, and it seemed that the seating didn't matter too much, so we were glad we got the standard tickets!
実は妻が日本でフラの教室をしていますので、私もかなりフラに関しては馴染み深いのですが、妻の姉が今回初ハワイでしたので、ショー形式のフラ・ハワイアンショーをヒルトンホテルの中階層のテラスで見せてあげようと出かけてきました。タヒチアンあり、多少アレンジされたフラが有り、ショーとして割り切って見ればそれなりに楽しめるショーでした。食事の内容はスタンダードも変わりませんし、席もあまり関係ないようですので、スタンダードチケットで私達はかえってよかったね!と、思った位でした。

It has been a beautiful night, with a very normal dinner, nothing special for the price, with a beautiful show at the end. My disappointment was because I paid for a Royal seating and the seating was not good at all. I had to stand up and sit on the ground to have a beatiful view and I also didn't get the lei. But all the staff people were really very kind and I enjoyed the traditional dances and the fire knives dance.

I was a little worried about attending a Luau on top of a parking garage. It turned out to not be a problem. They decorated the venue very nice and we were in the shade the whole time, which really helped. The food was wonderful, with a wide selection for everybody, even the kids. The acts were fantastic! I took a star away for the location not being by the ocean and the tight seating arrangement.

I participated on the day of arrival.
Since I had the opportunity, I chose the Golden Circle, and it was definitely the right decision.
I was able to watch the show right up close to the stage, and it was incredibly powerful—I could even feel the warmth of the fire.
With the Golden Circle, in addition to receiving a shell lei upon entry, you also get a fresh flower lei, and you can go to the luau buffet with priority. It was definitely worth it just for the premium seating.
However, unfortunately, it was a very windy day, and it was quite cold, so it's advisable to bring a jacket.
I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food while experiencing Hawaiian culture.
