This is my third Luau that I have been to so far and this one is by far my favorite! The crew is so nice and attentive and I loved how Chief Sielu is so family oriented. He made several points to bring guests on stage and include them in the show and they even had a special moment for two children through the Make A Wish Foundation that were there which was so sweet!
You are entertained all night long whether it's by the dancing, the Chief's jokes or the amazing fire dancers. I would also highly recommend the Royal package, we had great seats up front and were one of the first in line for the buffet.

I went with the Royal experience with my husband and 2 year old son. It was the first time Luau as a family. We absolutely loved it!!! The chief was very funny, and the show had a lot of audience engagements when the chief and his crews welcome audience up on the stage for dance and couple anniversaries. Food was very good and of course, the Mai Tai was amazingly tasty! Also, the activities before the show were really fun!!! My 2 year old son loved watching dances especially the last fire dance! He did not blink at all! I would totally recommend to everyone who has not experienced Luau but also to who wants more family oriented Luau experience.
Thank you, Chief and the crews for amazing Luau experience!!!

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.
At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.
Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...
I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.
父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。
最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。
先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…
父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

The bus on the way there was really bumpy and I felt a bit nauseous. I wanted to sleep, but even with the headrest, it felt impossible to use. I was disappointed considering the cost. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to have some medication on hand.
Dinner was as I imagined, somewhat disappointing. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.
The show was very glamorous and wonderful! The muscular performers were impressive.
I regret the bus experience.
行きのバスがガタガタすごく揺れて若干酔いました。寝たかったのですが、ヘッドレストがあっても使えないような感じで無理でした。割とお金とるのにこれかと残念でした。酔いやすい方は酔い止めあったほうがいいです。
ディナーは想像通り、微妙でした。すごく美味しくないわけではないけど…といった感じ。

The content of the show was diverse and very enjoyable without being boring.
When you arrive at the reception, you need to obtain a printed paper with a barcode. Just to be safe, I arrived around 16:40, and there were only about two groups ahead of me in the general line. Since you sit in a vertical line, if you arrive late, you might end up behind tall people, making it hard to see, so I recommend arriving early. Those with priority definitely get in before the general admission, so there is quite a wait between entry and the commemorative photo session. Even after being seated, you have to wait for those who arrived later, so it can feel long while holding a drink. With the buffet-style food, you can only go around once, and because there are many people, you will have to wait. I recommend taking a larger portion of food. If you don’t mind waiting, it’s not a problem, but since it’s in a foreign country with English all around, it can feel like you're waiting longer than the time spent watching the show. However, surprisingly, there were no children throwing tantrums, perhaps because they understood it was a special place.
ショーの内容はバラエティ豊かで飽きずにとても良かったです。
受付に到着したら、バーコードが印字された紙の発行が必要です。念のため16:40ごろに到着したら、一般では前には2組ほどしかいなかったです。縦並びに座るので遅くくると背の高い人の後ろになって見にくくなるので、早めがオススメです。一般より上の方が断然優先なので、入場から記念撮影の間がとにかく待ちます。着席しても、今度は後ろに並んでる人から遅めにきた人まで待つのでドリンク片手に長い。1周しか取れないブュッフェスタイルのフードを取るにも、人数が多いだけあって待ちます。フードは多めに取ることをお勧めします。並ぶのは苦じゃない方ですが、異国で英語が飛び交う中なので、ショー見てる時間より長いんじゃないかって感じてしまいます。でも、子供は意外にも特別な場所ということが分かるせいかぐずってる子はいませんでした。

Chief's Luau was such a fun experience. The chief was such a funny person and made me laugh the entire time during the luau. The show was very intriguing, the Chief likes to have the audience take part in the show which made the experience personal. The weather was great the day I went so there was no rain at all which helped make the experience more enjoyable. The food was okay it wasn't something extraordinary but it was still good. My favorite part of the luau was when the chief had a special segment where he recognizes couples on their honeymoon and couples who have been married for a long time. The chief also helped someone propose to his love. He really acknowledges family and makes sure that everyone has a good time while they are at the luau. I would definitely recommend this luau to families and couples.

Chief's life story is so touching, and I love how he shares it with the guests. As always, Chief is very entertaining from the beginning to end, always full of laughers!

We had an absolutely fantastic time. It rained the entire day and never put a damper on any of the festivities. Our luau dinner was delicious. One of the best activities we participated in on our recent vacation to Oahu. Each of the villages not only provided us with information and a look into the culture from a variety of islands but they also provided activities for us which were fun an interesting . If I ever return to Hawaii I will go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the full day experience including the luau.

The authentic dance show where you can learn about the history of Hawaii was wonderful. My family, especially my husband, was the most impressed since it was their first time in Hawaii.
This time we had the deluxe course, so being able to tour behind the scenes beforehand was a great preparation for enjoying the show. The cool guys who actually perform in the show were very relaxed and took photos with us, which became a great memory of our trip.
ハワイの歴史をショーで学ぶことができる本格的なダンスショーは、素晴らしかったです。ハワイが初めての家族(特に主人)が一番感動していました。

This was my family’s first real luau at a beach and we enjoyed every minute of it. All of the activities are very well planned out so that no one misses out on any part of the luau experience. We purchased the Standard Package, which was supposed to be side view seating, but because of the stage position... we had an amazing up close view of the whole show. It was great that we wore sandals as it was on a sandy beach, I’m also glad we went with the Standard Package because the greeting lei we received upon entering was a beautiful seashell lei that unlike the floral lei, would not dry up and it turned out to be an amazing and unexpected souvenir. Regarding the grub, it was delicious and although it was supposed to be an AYCE buffet, there was hardly any side dishes or chocolate cake desert left by the time our table went up to the buffet. I guess my only complaint was that it could have been better directed during the buffet. Everyone looked starving and didn’t really follow the order the host’s instructions. Our family and a few others who were patient and followed directions were screwed by those who couldn’t wait to be called to the buffet and doubled up on every entree and side. Other than poor planning during the buffet, what I did get to eat was delicious!!! We cannot wait to do this again!

I went on an afternoon tour. The bright local tour guide (an elderly woman) had an impressive rapid-fire talk on the bus ride, chatting non-stop from departure to arrival. We arrived at the destination after 5:30 PM, and after wandering around a bit, I wanted to go on a canoe river tour, but it ended at 6 PM, so I couldn't participate. I think if the afternoon tour arrived an hour earlier, we could have seen various spots. Also, the evening dance show was breathtaking, and I believe it had a grand story unfolding, but since I don't understand English, I honestly couldn't grasp the content. I thought it would be great if there were Japanese interpretation guide services available.
午後集合のツアーで行きました。
行きのバスの中では明るい現地ツアーガイド(おばあちゃん)によるマシンガントークが印象的でした。出発から到着までずっとしゃべってました。
現地到着が17:30過ぎで、少しぶらぶらして、カヌーでの川巡りを乗ろうと思いましたが、18時で終了のため乗れませんでした。午後ツアーの現地到着はもう1時間早いと色々なスポットを見れたと思います。
また、夜のダンスショーは圧巻で、壮大なストーリーが展開されていると思いますが、何分英語がわからないので、正直内容がわかりませんでした。日本語通訳ガイドサービスなどあったら良いと思いました。
