I attended a luau show. Since I had made a reservation here, the process was smooth. The show itself was average, and the food was also average at the buffet. I think it's a good option to reserve with peace of mind and see it at least once.
ルアウショーを見てきました。
こちらで予約していたので、手続きはスムーズでした。
ショー自体は普通、食べ物もビュッフェで普通でした。
安心して予約して、一度見るにはいいのかなと思います。

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。

The luau was not very good. We were sent there 2 hours before the luau and the activities prior were not alot of fun and too many people to even enjoy. Should have offered some kind of appetizer, but they were trying to get you to buy snacks and drinks. The food was ok. The only thing really good was the pork. Show was ok, but a little hokie. This luau is not what I was expecting.

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・・・

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!

Paradise Cove Luau was a great cultural experience. There were many activities that got you involved with the Hawaii culture. Some of my favorites where the spear throwing, lei making, and the canoe rides in the cove. They also had special events that taught you a little bit about the Hawaiian history, like old fashion ways of fishing. The food at Paradise Cove could have had a better selection, but their fried chicken and mixed drinks were phenomenal. When it came time for the dinner show I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed the out come. The show was beautiful and told multiple stories of native legends. The costumes and stage props were extravagant and made me feel as if I was in paradise. I personally wished the show was a little bit longer but it was a great show. I would recommenced that families take their young children to watch this show because not only is it fun to watch, but its also very engaging, and can be educational.

We had a fantastic time at Paradise Cove Luau. We almost were not going to book this Luau due to reading some bad reviews, but so glad we did! As soon as we boarded the bus to get there, the tour guide (Cousin Katie) made the trip so much fun. There were a variety of activities to participate in before the Luau commenced, such as canoe rides, flower lei and headpiece making, archery, bowling and temporary tattoos. The Luau itself was amazing! The dancers were great and the costumes very colorful. The food was very nice and the pork especially yummy! I would definitely recommend this, especially for families.

- 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

According to this experience, there were almost no Japanese people present. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were none except for our family.
We took two large buses from Waikiki to Paradise Cove in the Ko Olina area. It took about 40 to 45 minutes. There was an explanation about the venue on the bus, but everything was in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said. However, it was okay not to catch everything. They repeatedly reminded us of the bus number for the return trip, so as long as you remember that, you’ll be fine.
Once we arrived at the venue, we received a Mai Tai and headed to our assigned seats. From there, we had about two hours of free time until the show started. I think it's more fun to actively participate in the activities inside the venue! I rode something like a sea kayak, and it was a lot of fun☆
The hula we saw, accompanied by the blowing of the conch shell, was really beautiful against the sunset. I felt that it was worth coming just for that.
We chose the standard course, and we were satisfied with both the meal and the seating. The salmon poke and fried chicken were delicious. The course includes two alcoholic drinks, which was more than enough. Both the taste and appearance were tropical and very tasty. The show was also authentic and we got to see plenty of it. There was a guest participation time during the show as well. It was fun to watch foreign guests participate enthusiastically without feeling shy(^^).
The return trip was lively with foreign guests, but I ended up sleeping soundly.
While there was a sense of being in the minority without any Japanese people, I enjoyed the feeling of being in a foreign country, which I didn’t feel much in Hawaii. Also, the beauty of the sunset in the Ko Olina area and the starry sky is something you can't experience in Waikiki.
こちらの体験談の通りほぼ日本人はいません。
ほぼというより、私たち家族以外いないと言っても間違いないくらいでした。
ワイキキから大型のバス2台ほどでコオリナ地区にあるパラダイスコーブまで向かいました。
40〜45分ほどかかります。
バスの中で会場の説明がありますが、全て英語なので言っていることはわかりませんが、聞き取れなくても大丈夫でした。
帰りのバスの番号をしつこいほど教えてくれますのでそれだけ覚えられたらOKです。
会場に着いたらマイタイをもらって、案内される席へ向かいます。
そこからは2時間ほどはショーが始まるまでフリータイムです。
会場内の催しには積極的に参加した方が楽しいと思います!
シーカヤックのようなものに乗りましたがすごく楽しかったです☆
法螺貝が吹かれて向かった先で見たフラは、サンセットとあいまってとっても素敵でした。
これだけでも来た甲斐があったなと思いました。
私たちはスタンダードコースでしたが、お食事も座席の位置も満足でした。
お食事はサーモンロミロミとフライドチキンが美味しかったです。
アルコールは2杯までコースについていますが、2杯で充分でした。
味も見た目もトロピカルでとても美味しかったです。
ショーも本格的でたっぷり見られます。
途中ゲスト参加タイムもあります。
外国の方は恥ずかしがらずにノリノリで参加されるのでそれを見ているのも楽しかったです(^^)
帰りの車内も盛り上がった外国の方で賑やかでしたが、爆睡しました。笑
日本人がおらずアウェー感はありますが、ハワイではあまり感じることのなかった外国に来たー!という感じが良かったです。
またコオリナ地区のサンセットの美しさ、満天の星空はワイキキでは体験出来ないと思います。

The main purpose of this trip was to finally see the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, which I had to sadly forgo during my last visit to Hawaii due to not being able to make a reservation.
Among all the luau shows I've seen, this one had the content I wanted to see the most, and the dancing was wonderful. (I personally take hula lessons, so I wanted to see the dancers up close and observe their movements and steps!)
Typically, when comparing the ratio of hula to Tahitian dance in luau shows, there tends to be more Tahitian. However, this show had a higher proportion of hula (both Kahiko and Auana), making it a must-see for hula dancers. The outdoor setting, with Diamond Head and the ocean as the backdrop, was also fantastic.
I would love to go again! However, since the interactions and story are presented in English, a good command of the language is essential...
前回、ハワイに行った際に予約が取れず、泣く泣く断念したロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーを見に出かけるのが、今回の旅の1番の目的でした。
今まで見てきたルアウショーの中で一番、自分自身が見たかった内容で踊りも素晴らしかったです。(自分自身がフラを習っており、ダンサーの踊る姿やステップを踏む姿が間近で見たかったのです!)
普通、ルアウショーだとフラとタヒチアンの割合を比較するとタヒチアンの方が多いのですが、こちらはフラの割合(カヒコ・アウアナ)が高く、フラダンサーには必見な内容だと思います。
屋外で、かつダイヤモンドヘッドと海を背景なんて、ロケーションも素晴らしかったです。
また見に行きたいと思います!
しかしながら…英語で会場のやり取りやストーリーが展開されるので、語学力が必須かと。。。

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。

I read about this experience beforehand, so I was prepared for the fact that Japanese wouldn't be understood. From the moment we were waiting for the bus at the Sheraton Aloha Landing, the atmosphere was unpleasant, and sure enough, my husband and I were the only Japanese on the large bus. Even when the guide was getting everyone excited, we were completely lost... The only thing I understood was that the bus we were on was number 4. It's important to remember this since we would be taking the same bus back (the return bus departs after everyone has boarded following the show).
After arriving, we put a sticker on our chests according to our seating class, received leis, and enjoyed a welcome drink of Mai Tai before moving on to take photos with the dancers.
While wandering around the venue, a Japanese staff member named Yuji approached us and explained various things. Since I was the only Japanese staff member there, he told me to call him if anything came up... His angelic words made me feel so much better.
The show itself was simply amazing and full of excitement! I won't write about the content here, so it's something to look forward to when you go.
If you're seated in the Orchid section, you receive a prepaid card worth $16 per person, so I recommend using it early. Drinks are generally around $7 to $11, and there are souvenir shops, so it's easy to spend it all.
After the show, the dancers will pose for photos in front of the bus. This could also be a fun experience!
When we were getting on the return bus, I told the guide in broken English that it was our 5th wedding anniversary and that we had our ceremony at the Crystal Chapel next door. He looked sad and said, "Why didn't you tell me?" It seems that if you mention special occasions to the guide beforehand, something fun awaits you later. We probably talked about it on the way to the venue, but we were completely lost...
It was disappointing not to understand the language, but everything else was perfect! Among the approximately 500 guests, we only met one other Japanese couple, but I think that’s the charm of experiencing a foreign country. The enthusiasm of the foreigners is fantastic, so it's important to enjoy yourself without being shy.
I want to participate again next year. Now, I really need to study English!!!
こちらの体験談で読んでいましたので、日本語が通じないのは覚悟のうえ参加してきました。
シェラトンのアロハランディングでバスを待っている時から、イヤ~な雰囲気でしたが、案の定、大型バスに日本人は私達夫婦のみ。
ガイドさんの話にみんなが盛り上がっても、ちんぷんかんぷん・・・
ただ、理解できたのが、乗っているバスが4番であること。
帰りも同じバスに乗るので、ここは重要です。(帰りのバスは、ショーが終わって全員が乗車したら出発します。)
到着後、座席のクラスに応じたシールを胸に貼り、レイを掛けてもらい、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイを頂き、ダンサーとの記念撮影へ進みます。
会場内をブラブラしていると、ユウジさんという日本人スタッフさんが声を掛けてくれ、色々と説明してくれました。ここのスタッフで日本人は自分だけなので、何かあったらユウジを読んでくれって・・・ 天使のようなお言葉に気持ちがすぅーっと楽になりました。
ショーの内容は、迫力満点で最高!の一言に尽きます。
内容は、ここには書きませんので、行ってみてのお楽しみです。
オーキッドの席だと、一人当たり16ドルのプリペイドカードが付いていますので、早めに使ってしまうことをお勧めします。飲み物は大体7~11ドル位かな、お土産屋さんもあるので、簡単に使い切ることができます。
ショーが終わってからは、バスの前でダンサーさんたちが記念撮影に応じてくれます。
これも楽しめるかもしれませんね!
帰りのバスに乗る時、片言の英語で、結婚5周年であること、隣のクリスタルチャペルで挙式したことをガイドさんに話すと、「教えてよ~」って悲しそうな顔をしながら言ってくれました。
そうです、記念日などの場合は、先にガイドさんに伝えておくと、あとで楽しいことが待っているようです。
おそらく、行のバス内でその話をしていたんでしょうけど、私たちはちんぷんかんぷんだったので・・・
言葉が分からない点は残念でしたが、それ以外はパーフェクトですね!
500人位いるであろうゲストの中で出会った日本人は私達以外に1組だけでしたが、それこそが異国を味わう醍醐味であると思います。
外国人の乗りの良さは最高なので、恥ずかしがらず弾けて楽しむことが大切です。
来年、また参加したいと思っています。

The emcee even mentioned our names during the show and had us get up to dance near the stage to the Hawaiian wedding song...it was an amazing experience. The food was good, the show was excellent, and the location was like a postcard! Singers, hula dancers, and fire twirlers were all part of the evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

It was definitely a luau experience I wanted to try at least once. In the reviews, someone mentioned, "The guide for the shuttle bus was a wonderful DJ, so we had a great time on the bus." They must be fluent in English. We were completely lost; even my grandchild, who has a pre-2nd grade English proficiency, said they couldn't catch much due to the accent. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was just a weak flavor after the ice melted. The food was just as described in the reviews. However, the performances by the dancers were truly amazing; just thinking about it makes my heart warm. There were many disappointments, but I still recommend experiencing it at least once.
やはり一度は体験したいルアウでした。
口コミに「 送迎バスの案内係りの方が素晴らしいDJで盛り上げるので、バスの車中も楽しく過ごせました」 英語の堪能な方なのでしょうね。 私たちはチンプンカンプン 英検準2級の孫も なまりのせいなのかよく聞き取れなかったと言っておりました。 ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイは氷がいいだけ解けた後のうっすーいお味、お料理はどの口コミにも書かれている通りのお・あ・じ。 でも、ダンサーの方達のパフォーマンスはさすがに素晴らしかったと、思い出すだけで胸のあたりが熱くなります。残念な事は多々ありますが、やはり一度は体験をお薦めします。

We participated as a group of 15. Although there were some concerns since it wasn't widely introduced by Japanese travel agencies, all participants were very satisfied. Especially since some were visiting Hawaii for the first time, the lei service and Hawaiian cocktails (Mai Tai) served upon arrival created the perfect feeling of being in Hawaii. We thoroughly enjoyed the events and shows at the venue. Here are a few points to note: 1) Since it's a foreign country, being able to engage in simple everyday conversations in English will enhance your experience. The staff only speaks a little Japanese. 2) There are no Japanese announcements at the venue, but a Japanese explanation sheet is provided outlining how the activities will proceed. 3) The participation fee includes coupons that can be used at the souvenir shop and drink corner (for about two drinks). Additionally, I would like to suggest to the VELTRA representative: 1) It would be better to distribute Japanese guidance documents to everyone. 2) The Japanese guidance document should include that activities will be announced with a conch shell sound ⇒ Let's move towards the sound of the conch shell. 3) If you have a special occasion (like a birthday) on the day, please inform the staff ⇒ There might be a surprise! I believe that if these points are added to the Japanese guidance document, even without Japanese announcements at the venue, tourists from Japan will be able to enjoy themselves fully. I hope you can convey this to the local planning team.
15名の団体で参加しました。日本の旅行会社からのオプショナルツアーにも殆ど紹介されてなく不安もありましが参加者全員大満足でした。特にハワイが初めての方もいましたので会場到着時レイサービスやウエルカムドリンクとしてハワイアンカクテル(マイタイ)が配られますのでハワイにきたという最高の気分。会場のイベントやショーも十分楽しめました。以下は、留意点をいくつか、①外国ですから英語は簡単な日常会話はできた方がより楽しめます。係りの方は片言の日本語対応のみです。②会場では日本語のアナウンスはありませんがこのような内容でアクティビティーが進められますとの日本語の説明書が配られます。③参加代金には、会場内の土産物店やドリンクコーナー(2杯程度)での利用が可能なクーポンのようなものがついてます。以下は、更にVELTRAの担当者の方へ①日本語の案内文は全員に配ったほうがいいと思います。②日本語の案内文には、アクティビティ開催に際してはほら貝にてお知らせします⇒ほら貝の聞こえる方へ移動しましょう③当日記念日の方(誕生日など)は、係りの方へお知らせください⇒サプライズがあるかも?。以上日本語の案内書面へ加えていただけば会場内で日本語の案内がなくても日本からの観光の方も十分楽しめると思います。是非現地の企画催行箇所へ伝えていただければと思います。

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.

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。

My husband and I attended the luau while on our honeymoon. The emcee was great she had a very pleasant way about her. The food was good although I was surprised to see fried chicken on the buffet. We paid for the orchid seating but after seeing how the dining area was arranged I think the regular seats would have been fine. My favorite part was the chief with the fire, that was exciting!

My husband and I attended on our last full day at Hawaii and I am sooooooooo happy that we did. I think this was a great way to end our vacation even though we hated having to leave the beautiful island! This place, the venue, the set-up, activities, dinner, drinks and show was just AMAZING to say the least. The staff, especially cousin Rich(ie), he was the best bus guide/tour guide/table attendent/just overall everything the best. He was able to memorize all of our names before we arrived at Paradise Cove and there were at least 50 minimum on the bus. Even more amazing during the festivities he checked on everyone to make sure we all had what we needed and if we had any questions/help he assisted. Now that's what I call excellent customer service! (there were hundreds of other people at the luau). To sum it all up, upon return to Hawaii I will definitely go back to Paradise Cove. Best Lava Flow drinks, met some great people, fantabulous show and created lifetime memories !!!!!!!

What a great time we had at Paradise Cove. The activities were fun and informative. Dinner was yummy. I really enjoyed the poi and coconut milk dessert. This brought back memories of when as a child I was at Schofield Barracks (Dad stationed there.) for 4 years. So glad we booked this tour with Veltra.

When it comes to tours in Hawaii, I thought there would always be Japanese people, but on the packed bus we were picked up on, we were the only Japanese. Furthermore, during the show, we were probably the only Japanese there as well.
I think this tour may not be suitable for those who cannot speak any English or feel uneasy being around only foreigners, but we finally felt like we were experiencing being abroad, and we had a great time.
Of course, everything from the bus guide to the show was in English, but there were interactive hula shows, and newlywed couples were specially invited to the front for a showtime, so the Americans were actively participating, and we were glad we could join in as well (laughs).
Also, the scenery was amazing!
ハワイのツアーといえば、必ず日本人がいるものだと思いましたが、ピックアップされた満員のバスの中も、日本人が私たちだけ、さらにショーの中でも日本人がおそらく私たちだけでした。
英語が全く話せない人や、外国人だけでは不安という方には向いていないツアーだとは思いますが、私たちは外国にいる感じをやっと味わった気がして、とても楽しく過ごせました。
もちろん、バスガイドも、ショーもすべて英語でしたが、参加型のフラショーや、新婚カップルは、特別に前に出てショータイムがあったりと、アメリカ人の方は積極的に参加するので、負けじと(笑)参加できてよかったです。
あと、風景も最高でしたよ!
