Mauka Warriors Luau & Dinner - Authentic Polynesian Show with Thrilling Fire Knife Spectacular

Simply the “BEST” Luau ever attended.

Reviewed by: Mr. 305

Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.

The show is amazing.

Reviewed by: Jerelyn

The show was great. It highlights the cultures of different Polynesian groups. We sign up for a tour guide inside the cultural center. It helps us schedule our activities for the whole day stay over there. The tour guides are students from their university. They are amazing. I can recommend this tour for families. The dinner buffet is sumptuous.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Never Again

Reviewed by: Ky

We purchased this mainly so my aging mother could see the sunset over the water and experience some of the culture and history of Hawaii. There was was zero direction from any of the employees, we didn’t know where to go. This was advertised as a place to see the sunset while watching the luau. You can’t see the sunset because they put the stage right in between you and the view. And while we could have walked to the water while the sun was setting, this was the same time they told us to go to the buffet to get food. Glad we did because as soon as the last person sat down they cleared it out. The food left much to be desired, as did the drinks. There was very little culture, it almost felt like a parody and a tourist trap. I’ve been to other luaus that were so much better. We left early and I tried to give my drink cards away as they were unused, and NO ONE would take them, it was that bad. This whole island is this way. There is no longer any Polynesian culture, or none that we witnessed. This island has been given away. So sad for a place with such an amazing history. Go to Maui.

Hilton Waikiki Starlight Luau with Fire Dancers, Hula Show & Dinner Buffet

First Luau

Reviewed by: Waikīkī visitor

Even with standard seating our seats were close to the stage and our view was very good. Venue doesn’t offer the tropical and natural setting and backdrop (high rise in background of all our photos), but it was close to our hotel and didn’t consume several hours of our day/night going/returning on a bus.
Entertainment was very good and the food was good. All luaus are expensive, so no real bargains.
Overall, we are glad we went and had the experience.

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

I highly recommend it!! おすすめです！！

Reviewed by: sai

Since our plan was for the afternoon, we didn't participate in any activities and enjoyed shopping and the buffet until showtime. There were many items made in Hawaii, so I felt like I was contributing to the local community.

The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food, and I was very satisfied. There were also poke and dessert bars. Even if you choose a plan without the buffet, there are cafes and restaurants on the premises.

The show featured Polynesian dances that followed a storyline, and it was powerful and captivating. I was moved by the haka from rugby! The narration was in English, but the main language was local, so I could understand enough to stay engaged. Photography and video recording during the show are prohibited.

午後からのプランでしたのでアクティビティに参加せず、ショーの時間までショッピングやビュッフェを楽しみました。ショッピングもメイドインハワイのものが多くあったので地元に貢献できるかと思います。

ビュッフェは種類も多く味もとても美味しくて大満足です。ポケバーやデザートバーも揃っています。もしビュッフェなしのプランでも敷地内にカフェやレストランがあります。

ショーはストーリーにそったポリネシアンのダンスなのですが、迫力があり見応えがあります。ラグビーのハカだ！と感動しました。基本は現地語でナレーションは英語です。なんとなく伝わるので見ていて飽きませんでした。ショーの写真や動画撮影は禁止となります。

Good experience

Reviewed by: Pedro

The experience was good. The place is really amazing. The performances were very nice before, during and afte dinner. The activities before dinner were just good because there were so many people in some of them. Dinner was so so. Not many options, just one dish (you can´t put food twice) and we booked for vegetatian options and there was no veggie protein et all. In summary, good experience and bad dinner according to the high price.

My first Polynesian show. 生まれて初のポリネシアンショー

Reviewed by: グク1

We participated in a course that departed from Waikiki at 2:30 PM. On the way there, it was just the guide and the two of us, and we were able to freely ask the guide about life in Hawaii, which was really enjoyable!

After arriving, I heard that we couldn't do any activities, but we could enter the village. However, we were disappointed to be told at the gate of the inner village that we couldn't enter. There were only a few souvenir shops at the front, so we ended up with some free time.

The buffet was surprising with its volume and variety. For Japanese people, a regular restaurant might be enough. The Polynesian show was incredibly moving, just as rumored, and it was very good!

私達は午後14時半、ワイキキ出発のコースで参加しました。行きはガイドさんと私達2人のみで、自由に気兼ねなくガイドさんハワイライフを伺い、すごく楽しかったです♪
到着後、アクティビティはできないけど、村の中に入れると聞きましたが、奥の村のゲートで入場できないと言われガッカリでした。手前の土産物屋は少ししかなくて、時間を持て余しました。
バイキング料理は、ボリューム、種類が多すぎて驚きました。日本人は普通の飲食店ので十分かも。ポリネシアショーは、うわさどおり大感動、とても良かった！

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

The wait time was too long, and it felt like a waste of time. 待ち時間が長すぎて時間がもったいなかった

Reviewed by: Pyon

17:10 Arrived at the meeting place (the meeting time was noted as 17:15)
~ Waiting while standing for about 40 minutes ~
17:50 Entered the venue
~ Waiting at the seats for about 40 minutes ~
18:30 Guided to go get the buffet
~ Waiting in line for food ~
18:45 Served the first dish on the plate
~ Picking various dishes ~
18:55 Finished getting food and took a seat. Started eating.
19:00 The performance begins
Around 20:00, fireworks go off

◆ Overall, there was a lot of waiting. I brought my elderly parents, and the waiting times really tired them out.
◆ If you're just listening to the performance and singing, I think it's sufficient to stay in the guest room.
◆ For the luau show, there were people staying at the Hilton who watched from the beach outside the venue over a low fence. Honestly, it was easier to see up close than sitting in the golden seats.
◆ As mentioned in other experiences, there are times when it rains, which can be stressful. I found myself wishing, "Please don't let it rain!" Also, the wind was quite strong.
◆ Because of the strong wind, the food got quite cold while I was getting it. Still, the meat dishes were delicious. The menu was limited, and the breakfast buffet at Japanese hotels has more variety. I don't remember everything, but there were about two small cakes for dessert and one type of something like fruit punch.
◆ The golden seats made it quite difficult to see the show. If you're aiming for the show, I think the higher-class Diamond Premier is better.

Choosing this show for my trip to Hawaii was a mistake. I should have skipped this show and opted for a restaurant or TOGO, spending more time on sightseeing in Waikiki or ocean leisure activities. I cannot recommend it to those who find waiting times unbearable or a waste.

The day before, I went on the "Dinner Cruise Star of Honolulu 3 Star," and that was very good.

17:10 集合場所到着（集合時間は17:15と記載あり）
〜立って待機 約40分〜
17:50 会場に入る
〜座席で待機 約40分〜
18:30 ブッフェ取りに行っていいよと案内される
〜料理の順番待ち〜
18:45 最初の料理を皿に盛る
〜色々料理とっていく〜
18:55 料理取り終わり着席。食事開始。
19:00 演奏が始まる
20:00ごろ 花火が上がる

◆とにかくひたすら待つことが多かったです。高齢の親を連れて行ったのですが、待ち時間でとても疲れさせてしまいました。
◆演奏や歌を聴くだけなら、客室にいても十分だと思います。
◆ルアウショーは、ヒルトン宿泊の人なら会場外のビーチから低い柵越しに鑑賞してる人もいました。正直ゴールデンシートに座ってるより近くで良く見えました。
◆他の体験談でもありましたが、雨が降る時があるので落ち着かないです。「お願いだから降らないで〜」と願うストレス、、、あと風が結構強い。
◆風が強いので、料理をとってる間に料理がかなり冷めてしまいます。それでも肉系の料理は美味しかったです。メニューは少なく、日本のホテルの朝食ブッフェの方が種類があります。全部は覚えてないけど、デザートは小さいケーキ？2種とフルーツポンチ？みたいなもの1種くらいでした。
◆ゴールデンシートはショーがかなり見えづらかったです。ショー目当てなら上位クラスのダイヤモンドプレミアがいいと思います。

今回のハワイ旅行で、このショーを選んだことは失敗でした。このショーに行かず、レストランかTOGOにして、もっとワイキキ観光や海レジャーに時間を使った方が良かったです。待ち時間が耐えられない・もったいないと思う人にはとてもお勧めできません。

前日に「ディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル 3スター」も行きましたがこれはとても良かった。

Unless we go to Polynesian Cultural Center, we have found Paradise Cove to be the best! Over the years, it has gotten quite a bit more expensive, and does less than it used to (welcome picture with dancers), but is still a great show, great property, and really good food. The imu ceremony is as good as you'll get anywhere on the island.

It might not be good to go in the afternoon... 午後から行くのはダメかも…

Reviewed by: がんとも

This was my second time.
The pick-up bus was about 10 minutes late, and the vehicle was small and cramped. The guide made excuses, saying, "There was an accident..." but the driving was rough until we arrived at Polynesian, and the guide (driver) seemed to get lost, which made me very anxious.
After arriving at the site, the guide walked ahead quickly, gave a brief explanation, and then dispersed us. It was really a haphazard tour.
The show was good, but I was dissatisfied because I couldn't explore any other areas at all...
We also visited a nearby building that made no sense for free... (I don't really understand the connection...)
It would be great if we could explore other areas in the afternoon as well.
Anyway, I thought the show was better than last time!

今回２回目です。
お迎えのバス(小)が約10分遅刻。且つ車は小さくて狭い。「アクシデントがあったので…」とガイドは言い訳をしていたが、ポリネシアンに着くまで運転は荒く、道を間違えるようなガイド(運転手)だったので、非常に不安でした。
現地到着後もガイドは一人でどんどん歩いていき、さっさっと説明し解散。本当に雑な案内でした。
ショーは良かったのですが、それ以外のエリアの見学が全く出来ず不満です…
また無料案内で近くの意味のわからない建物
の見学をしました…(よく関係がわかりません…)
午後からの見学でも他のエリアの見学が出来ると最高ですね
とにかくショーは前回よりも良いと思いました‼️
