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 was a bit cold, but it wasn't the cold that gave me chills. There was a thrilling feeling from the manly dance performance that felt like a challenge to battle. My lack of language skills is my own fault, so there's nothing I can do about it, but I was still able to enjoy it in my own way. Why not try to feel it with your soul?
少し寒かったですが寒いからゾクゾクしたのではありません。戦いに挑むような男らしいダンス・パフォーマンスに魂からのゾクゾク感がありました。語学不足は自分の精なので仕方ないですがわからないなりに楽しめるものです。魂で感じてみては?

The deluxe package is fantastic. It's pricey but well worth the investment. We had three children with us and the seating was stage side. A great view for the children. The activities were great for our children and the Lava flows were great sipping while they were having fun. The meal was served to us by waitresses and the show was wonderful. We have been to the Polynesian cultural center for their deluxe luau and show and these two luaus were very comparable. Food selection was wider@ the cultural center but the shows were phenomenal. The seating was front row but set back further from stage@ the cultural center but still was entertaining. The kids really enjoyed the fire dance and to see it up close was a treat for all of us. Overall this is a great choice for a luau and the food was good.

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.

Since I was staying at Aulani, I walked over to see an authentic luau. I knew that all activities would be conducted in English, but when I realized that my conversation skills weren't up to par, the cast members seemed annoyed and were openly speaking negatively (even though I couldn't converse, I could understand). It really depends on the person, but the attitude of the cast was the worst.
Before the show started, there were activities like tattoo painting and bracelet making, but it felt like there was a bit of wasted time. Since I had the deluxe package, I received a gift card worth about $20 or $24, but I couldn't drink that many beverages, so I went to the shop. However, the items on display didn't really spark my interest, and once the show ended, the store closed quickly as the bus for the group departed, so I recommend making your purchases early. In the end, I couldn't even spend about $15.
The content of the show was wonderful, but the food was just okay. As for whether I would go again... honestly, I'm not sure.
アウラニに泊まっていたので、本格的なルアウを見たいと徒歩で向かいました。
全てのアクティビティが英語で進行するのはわかっていましたが、こちらが会話ができるレベルではないことを知ると、面倒くさそうにした上に、思いっきり悪口を言っており(会話はできなくとも、ヒアリングはできるため)人にもよるとは思いますがキャストの態度は最悪でした。
ショーが始まる前にもタトゥーをペイントしたり、ブレスレットを作ったりできますが、やや時間を持て余ます感がありました。
デラックスタイプにしていたので$20?24くらいのギフトカードがついていましたが、飲み物も何杯も飲めないので、売店に行きましたが、購買意欲があまり沸かない商品が陳列してあり、ショーが終わって団体専用のバスが出てしまうと早々に店じまいしてしまうので、早めに商品にしてしまうのがお勧めです。結局私は$15ほど使えずに終わってしまいました。
ショーの内容はすばらしかったですが、食事はまぁ、こんなもんかといった感想です。
もう1度行くか・・・というと、正直わかりません。

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.

I participated with a light-hearted desire to see hula dancing, but I enjoyed it even more than I had imagined! Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the powerful performance from the front row. The buffet was delicious as well. I was happy that the lei greeting used real orchids. I felt that the photos taken for commemorative purposes were a bit expensive, but overall it was a great experience!

We attended as a couple. It took a long time to be guided to our seats and to the buffet before the show started. However, once the second part of the show began, all of that was forgotten. It was my first time seeing a fire dance up close like that. I was amazed by the intensity and wondered how they could do it—were their feet and mouths okay? It was incredibly powerful. I definitely want to participate again next time!
夫婦で参加しました。ショーが始まるまでは、席への案内や、ビュッフェへの案内もたいへん時間がかかりました。しかし、第2部のショーが始まるとそんなことはどこへやら。特に最後のファイヤーダンスをこれだけ身近で見たのは初めてでした。なぜそんなことが出来るのか?足は、口は大丈夫なの?とすごい迫力でした。ぜひ次回も参加したいと思います!

I previously enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center, but this time, we had a wedding in Waikiki with a large group of 12 people. We were able to see the luau at the nearby Hilton Village, and my new mother-in-law was truly thrilled to see it for the first time. It was really great. Requesting the premium seats was the right choice. Thank you very much.

I attended with my mother and my 5-month-old daughter. The food was very delicious, and the show was just the right length, so I was very satisfied. However, the price was a bit high. The fire show was shorter than I expected. If you only want to see the hula, you can watch it for free somewhere else and have a meal at another place. A high-quality all-you-can-eat dinner while watching a show outdoors is luxurious and has a nice atmosphere, which might be great for couples. Small children might get bored, be scared, or end up staying up too late.

お料理がとても美味しく、ショーもちょうどいい長さでとても満足。

As expected and stated...can't ask for more from a tour operator. Show itself was not as good as Polynesian Village main stage show but buffet was 1000 times better and the Hilton show (as a buffet show) was far superior. You'll need to see the Poly Village to see the various cultural elements but save the luau for this one.

We participated as a family of four, including two children. Since we stayed at a hotel in the Ko Olina area, we walked to the venue. Given that it was Christmas Day, there was a long line by the 4:30 PM meeting time. I heard that last year there were over 1,500 attendees. I recommend arriving with plenty of time to spare. Most participants were from Europe and America, and I only saw a few Japanese families.
Before the show started, it was nice to enjoy activities like javelin throwing and lei making. The show was impressive, but since it was Christmas Day, many Christmas songs were performed, which was a bit disappointing. I was expecting to see a Hawaiian luau, but it turned out to be more like a Christmas dinner show.
It gets cold, so a jacket is necessary. The food is traditional, so you might want to manage your expectations. It was edible, but I can't say it was very delicious.
子ども二人を含む、家族四人で参加しました。
コオリナ地区のホテルに宿泊した為、徒歩で会場まで行きました。

The luau show was impressive and enjoyable. However, I couldn't understand the explanations since I don't speak Japanese. I felt it was unkind that it wasn't clear that the drinks were not included and that you could only use up to $16. I had the impression that Japanese would be understood in Hawaii, but it seems that there are many English-speaking guests.
ルアウのショーは迫力があってよかったです。日本語が通じなくて、説明が全く分かりませんでした。ドリンク二杯つきではなく16ドルまで使えるものとか分からないので、不親切に思いたした。ハワイだから日本語が通じる感覚だったのですが、英語圏の方の利用が多いのですね。
