All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

The seat in the very front and center was great. The tribute artist's live performance was very enjoyable. I wish I could have seen some artists from the 60s. I would have liked to see more variety of artists.

一番前の真ん中の良い席で、大変良かったです。そっくりさんのライブとても楽しかったです。60年代のアーチストも見たかったかな？いろいろなアーチストをもっとやってほしかったです。

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.

あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ～って感じでした。

We participated with a total of seven people. I wouldn't recommend it for those who get seasick, but for those who are okay with it, I definitely encourage you to join. The staff were very kind (they only speak English). Above all, the scenery is beautiful. It's only a few hours, so it's a fantastic experience that won't interfere with other schedules. I absolutely recommend it!!

総勢7名で参加しました。船酔いする方にはお勧めしませんが、OKな方には是非参加してほしいです。スタッフの方々もとっても親切（英語しか話せないスタッフですよー）。なんと言っても、景色がキレイ。ほんの数時間なので、他のスケジュールの邪魔にならないサイコーの体験です。ぜったいお勧め！！

It was very pleasant.
Since it was a catamaran, the sea water was right in front of us, and the sunset was amazing.

There were about 30 participants, with around 7 Japanese people.
There was also an elderly person (probably of American descent) who was using a cane.
Be careful as you have to climb a few steps up a steep ladder.
The instructions were only in English, but it was manageable even if you didn't understand everything.

During the sailing, it felt really nice.
I was sitting in the front row, but here the sea water splashed up from below,
and my T-shirt got completely soaked from the spray.
It's best to wear clothes over your swimsuit.
(The front half of the yacht has a net at the feet.)

Even in summer, it was cold when splashed with water.
A windbreaker or something similar is necessary.

とても気持良かったです。
カタマランなので、海の水が目の前にあり、最高のサンセットでした。

参加していたのは、３０人位で、日本人は7人位ですね。
杖をついている年配の（多分米国系）の方も参加されていました。
急な、梯子を数段上るので、注意です。
説明は、英語のみでしたが、判らなくても何とかなりました。

セイリング中は、とても気持よかったです。
最前列の座っていましたが、ここは下から海の水がかかり、
スプレーでティーシャツがビショビショになりました。
水着の上に服を着ているのが、正解です。
（ヨットの前半分の足元はネットになっています）

夏でも、水をかぶると寒いくらいでした。
ウィンドブレーカー等が必要ですね。

Well there are no seats and you have to climb to get in and sit on floor, then they sail and you can move around. We thought there would be seats, but this only had benches. You have to be fit. We thought we could take my grandson, when we got there he couldn't possibly go. Also it's the Outrigger II, not the Outrigger. We showed up at Outrigger and were told it's a 10 minute walk. We are very unhappy. We bought 8 tix and 3 people didn't go and 2 who went got sea sick. There should be warnings as to what you are getting into.

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.

The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.

While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.

It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.

昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。

ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。

ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。

我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

I had a really good time on the Waikiki Rigger. Great staff, great drinks, fun folks onboard the boat, nice music! It was a little cloudy out at times and rained on us for a bit, but just looking at the city while in the water, the beautiful shots of Diamond Head Cater, other boats passing us make for a truly fun evening. I had a great time and something again that didn't tie up your whole evening. I hope do this again in a heartbeat!

The food was delicious. The kids enjoyed it a lot. My child participated in a tattoo experience and got a shark drawn. They did it really well, and my child was very happy. The fire show was also amazing! The kids were super excited. Be careful with drinks when the wind blows. I wish I could have enjoyed it more if I spoke English.

食事はおいしかたです。こどももパクパクでした。タトゥーの体験に子供が参加してサメを書いてもらいました。とっても上手に書いてくれ、子供も大喜びです。ファイヤーショーも最高！子供も大興奮でした。風が吹く時には飲み物注意だよ。英語が出来たらもっと楽しめたのにな。

You might have to wait a bit from the meeting time until departure, but it feels like a good timing adjustment to see the sunset! There isn't anything particularly special about it, but enjoying the view of Waikiki from the catamaran and having a drink on board (of course, I'll have a refill) is fun.

集合時間から出発まではちょっと待たされるけど、いいタイミングでサンセットが見られる時間調整って感じ！特にこれと言った特徴があるわけではないけど、カタマランで海側から見るワイキキの街並みや船上での一杯（もちろんおかわりしますが）が楽しいです。

Great trip through the bay at Waikiki! The people make or break your experience, but everyone is there to have a great time, and you do, especially with the great musical accompaniment. Be sure to bring some extra cash for the picture at embarkment, and the special glass for your rum drink. Wonderful experience!!!

I participated in the VIP plan! It was so much fun from start to finish that I didn't want to leave!

There were impersonations of well-known artists and a Hawaiian show. My seat was right in the middle and up front!

It was incredibly impressive.

I want to go again next time!

VIPのプランで参加しました！
最初から最後までとても楽しく帰るのが名残惜しぃ位でした！

誰もが知ってるアーティストのモノマネやハワイアンショー。
席も真ん中で前！

迫力満点でした。

次もまた行きたい位です。

It was the most fun show in Hawaii. Michael, Elvis, and Madonna were all spot on. Michael was perfect in dance, face, appearance, and singing. Although Elvis didn't resemble him in the face, his singing and appearance were very similar, and I enjoyed it. The singer who performed "Satisfaction" was wonderful. After the show, there was a photo time, and I was thrilled to hug Madonna and take a picture! I got to know a couple from Washington sitting next to me, and we promised to meet again in Hawaii next year.

ハワイで１番楽しかったショーです。マイケル、エルビス、マドンナそっくりでした。マイケルはダンス、顔、容姿、歌全て完璧。エルビスは顔はにておりませんが歌、容姿はそっくりで楽しめました。サティスファクションを歌った歌手の方は素晴らしかったです。ショーの後フォトタイムがありマドンナとハグして写真撮影していただき感激！！隣の席にいらしたワシントンのご夫婦と知り合い、来年もハワイで会う約束をしました。

We used it as a group of 40-60 people. There were many people from countries other than Japan, and everyone forgot their age and had fun dancing. The food was decent, but we enjoyed the tropical cocktails outdoors, which added to the Hawaiian vibe.

40－60　男女のグループで利用しました。
日本以外の国から来てる人が多くみんな年齢を忘れて踊ったりして楽しかったです。
食事はそれなりですが屋外で飲むトロピカルなカクテルもハワイらしさを楽しめました

It's surprisingly small yacht. There were moments when it swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Basically, there don't seem to be many Japanese people on board. This time, it was just my husband and me. But since we came all the way overseas, it was a refreshing experience to escape the Japanese crowd in Waikiki. The sunset was amazing. And there's an all-you-can-drink option!

意外に小さいヨットです。波でけっこう揺れる場面もありましたが、これもみんなとっても受けてました。基本的に日本人はあまりいないようです。今回も私と夫だけでした。でもせっかく海外に来たのだから、日本人ばかりのワイキキを抜け出して新鮮体験でしたよ。サンセットは最高でした。そして飲み放題です！

I participated at the request of my mother in her 60s.
The quality of all the artists, from past stars to Lady Gaga, was high, and since most of the songs are famous, my mother, who doesn't understand English, seemed to enjoy it very much.
She especially liked Michael Jackson and even got to take a photo after the show.
I recommend it for those who might think they've had enough of the flash show.

60代の母親の希望で参加しました。
往年のスターからレディ・ガガまでどのアーティストもクオリティが高く、
有名な曲がほとんどなので、英語がわからない母もとても楽しめたようです。
特にマイケル・ジャクソンを気に入って、終演後には写真まで撮ってもらっていました。
フラショーはもういいかなという方にはお勧めです。

would do this again in a hart beat! It is one in a life time experience the no words that can describe

We attended the patio buffet before the performance. The food was one of the better dinner-show meals we had in Waikiki. There was a performance by dancers during the dinner, and then the main show followed. A good time was had by all.

The daytime yacht experience was so enjoyable that this time I participated in a sunset cruise. Although there were many clouds and the sunset was disappointing, it was a quiet cruise without the liveliness mentioned in other reviews. Well, that was fine in its own way, but I still had more fun during the daytime when I wore my swimsuit and got splashed by the waves.

日中のヨットがあまりに楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
雲が多くてサンセットは残念でしたが、他の方の口コミのようなにぎやかさはなく、静かなクルーズでした。まぁ、それはそれで良かったけど、やっぱり水着を着て、たくさん波を浴びた日中の方が楽しかったです。

This is a very fun time for a fair price. The catamaran is basic (i.e. no cabin or bathrooms) but it's a great sail with a crew that seems to love their jobs. The mai tais are good and plentiful, and it was great to see the sunset from the water. The sail goes out early enough that you get back in time to go to dinner, and you're in a wonderful mood when you return. I'd definitely recommend this cruise to people who want a fun time seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from a new perspective.

A little while ago, at the end of 2011, I participated in an event where we could see fireworks from a boat.

We set sail around dusk, and there were about 20 people, I think? I had heard it was an English tour, but it was quite accommodating for Japanese speakers, so it wasn't a problem if you couldn't speak much.

The meal was served buffet-style. There were a decent variety of dishes, and I thought the food itself was tasty. I believe drinks were included for the first two.

The fireworks lasted about 15 minutes. If you imagine a Japanese fireworks festival, it might feel a bit lacking.

However, if you focus on the value of seeing fireworks from a boat, I don't think it's bad at all.

Personally, I felt my level of satisfaction was just okay.

少々前ですが、2011年末、船上から花火が見れるということで参加しました。

夕暮れ時に出向し、約20人くらいだったでしょうか？
英語ツアーと聞いていましたが、日本人慣れしており、喋れなくてもほぼ問題ありません。

お食事はブッフェ形式。
種類はそこそこあってお食事自体は美味しかったと思います。
ドリンクは確か2ドリンクまでは料金込みでした。

花火は15分ほどだったと。
日本の花火大会を想像してしまうと、やっぱり物足りなさはありましたが。

船上から花火を見えるという価値を重視すれば、すごくわるいわけではないと思います。

個人的には満足度はそこそこかなーと思いました。

- There are courses such as Cocktail & Show, Buffet & Show, and VIP Dinner & Show, but it's not just about whether food is included or the type; everything from access (entrance/timing of entry) to the viewing seats for the show is determined by the course.
- I experienced the VIP course. Thanks to the reservation through VELTRA, we enjoyed dinner and the show at a two-person table right in the front row and center (we were able to enjoy the show after dinner while drinking wine).
- The venue for the show is a relatively small theater, but the lighting, sound, and effects are all professional, and the use of multi-screens for visual effects was very interesting.
- It is fundamentally different from Japanese impersonation shows and can be enjoyed as entertainment.
- As a side note, were they from the same company? Some of the dancers from the Star of Honolulu that I attended last year were performing!
- For dining, we started with the theater's original cocktail at a separate bar, then moved to the theater for the meal: appetizer, soup, main course of filet steak and white fish meunière, dessert ice, and coffee... it was a proper full course, and I was satisfied with the taste. The OP wine and others were relatively reasonably priced, starting from $30 for a full bottle.
- A manager, who seemed to be a charming gray-haired gentleman fluent in Japanese, supported us from entry to exit.
- I would recommend this to friends visiting Hawaii!

I had a great time.
However, I think it could have had a bit more speed and thrill.
My elderly mother seemed to be expecting more excitement than I was.

気持ちよく楽しめました。
でも、もう少しスピード・スリルがあっても良かったかなと思います。
高齢の母は私よりスリルを期待していたようです。

THIS WAS A FUN THING TO DO, IN FACT WE WENT BACK FOR A SECOND TOUR! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. lOVE THE MUSIC THEY PLAY!

I had such a great time riding on a catamaran yacht in the past that this time I joined the sunset cruise. Unfortunately, there were a lot of clouds in the mornings and evenings all week, so we could only catch a glimpse of the sunset through the clouds. Even though it was an all-you-can-drink option, one Mai Tai was enough for us. I brought some snacks as mentioned in the reviews, but unlike what others had said, there wasn't any cheerful dancing that started... it was a very quiet cruise. The yacht was pleasant, but even though check-in was at 5 PM, it actually started after 5:30 PM, which felt like a waste of time.

昔日中のカタマランヨットに乗って、あまりにも楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。この週はずっと朝晩雲が多く、夕日の雲の合間からちらっとしか見えない状態でしたので残念でした。飲み放題とはいえ、私たちはマイタイ１杯で充分。口コミにあったので、おつまみも少し持って行きましたが、他の口コミにあったような陽気なダンスが始ったり…はなく、とても静かなクルーズでした。ヨットは気持ち良かったですが、５時チェックインとあるのに、実際始ったのが５時半過ぎで、時間がもったいなかったかな。

Highly recommended. Very comfortable ride. Friendly crews. Sun set was unforgettable. Recommend to bring a wind breaker. It can gets quite cold on the way back.

I participated with a friend. Riding on the Mai Tai and drinking Mai Tais!
Be careful not to drink too much; you'll want to go to the bathroom.
The scenery from the sea is beautiful and refreshing, different from what I usually see. Since there are few Japanese participants, you can really enjoy the overseas atmosphere.
The sunset was also beautiful, so I was very satisfied. I will participate again next time!

友達と参加しました。マイタイ号に乗って、マイタイを飲む！
飲みすぎ注意です。トイレに行きたくなります。
普段見ている風景とは違い、海からの景色もきれいで、水しぶきも気持ちいい！日本人の参加が少ないので、海外気分が味わえます。
夕焼けもきれいに見えたので大満足です。次回も参加します！

This was my second time, and I had a great time! The lively music is enjoyable for everyone, from the elderly to children, and the pleasant breeze, champagne, wine, and cocktails are all you can drink. Bringing snacks really boosts the mood! Being on the net is amazing; it feels like gliding over the ocean. The sunset was beautiful, and I saw couples kissing. There are restrooms available, so don't hesitate to use them; it will create good memories. Just be careful not to sit on the toilet lid—my friend's husband got stuck! Overall, I highly recommend this cruising experience.

今回で2度目でした　とにかく楽しめますお年寄りから子供までのりの良い音楽に気持ち良い風　シャンパン　ワイン　カクテル　すべて飲み放題つまみなんか持参でテンションあがりまくりです　ネットの上は最高です　まるで海の上をすべっているかのようサンセットもとてもきれいでカップルがキスしてましたよ　トイレもあります　我慢するよりまずは使用してみてください良い思い出になりますよ　ただしトイレのふたに座られないよう気お付けてください
友人の旦那様は座られてとじこめられました　とにかくこのクルージングはお勧めです

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

This was the second time I went on this cruise... Love the atmosphere and the crew is supper friendly. The Reggae music and fireworks were the best but the Mai Tai drinks are definitely the best I've had!!! Overall I totally loved it and will do it a third and fourth time!!!
