All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The show was very entertaining, all of the singers and dancers are outstanding. The food was delicious, and a lot of options to choose from. Seating was comfortable and we didn’t get wet from the rain because we were covered. All in all it was a great experience for us.

I participated in a limited-time monitor plan where the second person is free, and I only watched the show. The shows featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were incredibly lively, with impersonators that looked just like them. There were also continuous videos of the real Elvis and Michael playing in the background while the impersonators sang and danced.

Since it’s open seating, I recommend arriving about 15 minutes early to get good seats towards the front. I was seated on the aisle in the front, and during the show, Elvis came over and shook my hand!

In addition to the two shows, there were hula performances, singing, dancing, and fire dancing, all of which were impressive, especially the dancing. While hula shows can be found all over Waikiki, a show that mixes in a rock vibe with a distinctly American feel is quite rare, so I recommend it for that reason. There were overwhelmingly more international guests than Japanese, which made the atmosphere even more exciting.

I arrived early and also checked out the dining plan, and I was able to see the hula dancing up close, and the food looked quite delicious. I thought it might be nice to participate in the dining plan next time.

Finally, while passing through the hallway where the performers were, we could take photos freely, and there were staff members available to take pictures for us. My husband and I got a photo with Michael, which made for a great memory!

二人目無料の人数限定モニターで、ショーのみを見るプランに参加しました。
エルビス・プレスリーと、マイケルジャクソンのショーは、本人そっくりのものまねで、すごく盛り上がりました。エルビスとマイケルの本人たちの映像もずっと流れていて、それを見ながらのそっくりさんの歌やダンスでした。
自由席なので、オープンの15分前くらいの早めに行って、前の方の良い席を取るのがおすすめです。通路側の前の方の座席だったので、ショーの途中でエルビスが握手をしてくれました！
二人のショー以外も、フラや歌、ダンス、ファイヤーダンスに見応えがあり、特にダンスが素晴らしいです。フラのショーはワイキキのあちこちでやっていますが、THE・アメリカ！っていう感じのロックも混ざったショーはなかなかないので、そういう意味でもおすすめです。日本人より、圧倒的に海外の方のほうが多いので、盛り上がりが半端なかった。
早めに行って、食事付きのプランの食事の様子も見てみたのですが、フラの踊りも近くで見ることができて、食事もなかなか美味しそうでした。次回は食事付きに参加しても良いかも、と思いました。
最後に出演者がいる廊下を通りながら、自由に写真を取ることができ、写真を取ってくれるスタップもしっかりいるので、主人と二人でマイケルを囲んで撮ってもらい、よい記念になりました！

After making a reservation through VELTRA, I received an SMS with information in English about the meeting place and consent form. It might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English.

On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy and it was quite windy, which caused the boat to sway a lot, and I felt seasick the entire time. Although drinks were unlimited, I didn't feel like drinking alcohol in such rough conditions, so it was hard to get my money's worth.

Because of the clouds, I couldn't see much of the sunset either. Overall, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointing trip.

VELTRA経由で予約した後にSMSで英語の集合場所や同意書に関する案内が来ました。英語がわからないとややハードルが高いかもしれません。

乗った日の天候は曇りかつ風が強かったためか、船がものすごく揺れまして、始終船酔いでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、この揺れの中でお酒をガンガン飲む気分にはなれず、元を取るのは難しいと思われます。

曇りのためあまり夕日も見れず。
ちょっとがっかりな旅になりました。

This time, I participated in a limited-capacity monitor show without meals, along with my girlfriend on her first overseas trip. I initially thought there would be many Japanese tourists, but over 80% of the audience was foreign, and the energy was very much in line with international standards, which made it interesting and enjoyable.

The show started with dances and music that touched on Hawaii's history and culture. In the middle, Elvis and Michael joined in, and the show heated up to its peak. As a fan of Elvis and Michael, I certainly enjoyed it, but my girlfriend, who isn't very familiar with Western music, was also thoroughly satisfied and had a great time.

The production and music were wonderful, and overall, it was a very captivating show. Furthermore, the expressions and gestures of the performers conveyed their pride in and love for their culture. It was a valuable experience to understand Hawaii's culture and history and to connect with the charm of the land.

I highly recommend this fantastic show to everyone. Next time, I would like to make a reservation that includes a meal! You will have an amazing night, so definitely consider participating! Mahalo!

今回は食事無しの人数限定のモニターショー初海外旅行の彼女と2人で参加しました。
日本人観光客が多いのかなとの印象でしたが8割以上が外国人の方で盛り上がり方も海外仕様でその点も面白く参加できて良かった。

ショーの内容は前半はハワイの歴史や文化に触れる踊りや音楽からスタート。
中盤からはエルヴィスやマイケルが参加しショーはヒートアップし盛り上がりが最絶頂でした。
私はエルヴィス・マイケルのファンでもちろん楽しむこともできましたが、
洋楽をあまり知らない彼女も十分満足し楽しんでました。

演出や音楽も素晴らしく、全体として非常に魅力的なショーでした。さらに、出演者たちの表情や仕草から、彼らがその文化に誇りを持ち、心から愛していることが伝わってきました。ハワイの文化や歴史を理解することができ、その土地の魅力に触れることができた貴重な体験でした。
全ての方におすすめできる、素晴らしいショーでした。

次回は食事ありで予約してみたいと思います！
最高の一夜を過ごせるのでぜひ参加してみてください！
マハロ！

The first time I saw the fireworks, it was great, but afterwards it was just drifting, so I think it would have been better if it had been shorter. Also, the music was loud like rock, and more relaxing music would have helped me unwind.

最初に花火を見た時は良かったが、その後は漂っているだけだったので、もっと短い時間で良かったと思う
また音楽もロックの様なうるさいもので、もっとゆったりした音楽の方がリラックス出来た

I signed up to experience something I usually wouldn't do in Japan. Unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, and we didn't get to see a beautiful sunset, but I had so much fun that I forgot about that. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was like a "Wanko Mai Tai" instead of "Wanko Soba," with Mai Tais being poured one after another. They also give you small bags of snacks, which makes you want to drink more.

There weren't many Japanese participants, but the receptionist, Miko, spoke Japanese. The staff's talk on the boat was in English, so I regretted not understanding the witty jokes. Next time, I want to join the fireworks sailing.

普段日本ではやらないことを体験したくて申し込みました。
生憎参加した日は雲が多く、きれいなサンセットではありませんでしたが、そんなこと忘れるくらい楽しかったです。
飲み放題アルコールは、マイタイが次々注がれる『わんこ蕎麦』ならぬ『わんこマイタイ』状態。スナック菓子の小袋がもらえるのでまたお酒が進みます。

日本人参加者はほとんどいませんが、受付のミコ嬢は日本語OKでした。
船上でのスタッフさんのトークは英語なので、軽妙なジョークが分からなかったのは悔しいなぁ。
次回は花火のセーリングに参加したいです。

This was so refreshing and fun, I would definitely do this again!

The workers and staff were amazing on stage and equally amazing hosts during dinner service. The food was ok but regardless the luau itself and dancers were fabulous.

It was fun, but not meant for minors. This was a firework cruise, with an open bar. I just didnt realize it would be less minors and more abou the open bar. Which is my own fault. the crew was great.

The staff was skilled at getting everyone on board, and we had a great time together. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was refreshing, and I recommend this experience. At first, my wife was worried about seasickness, but she ended up drinking more than usual.

スタッフの乗らせ方が上手く、同船の皆で楽しく過ごせました。海側からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも新鮮で体験をお勧めします。最初は、船酔いを心配していた妻もいつもより沢山飲んでました。

This was my third time at the Rock-a-Flash Show. Each time I go, the audience gets bigger, and the content is more fulfilling and enjoyable. I definitely want to see it again when I go to Hawaii.

今回3度目のロック・ア・フラショーでした。
見る度にお客様も増えていて内容も充実し楽しめました。
またハワイに行った時には是非見たいと思います。

After finishing an early dinner, we headed to the 4th-floor venue of the Royal Hawaiian Center. With excitement building, the show began. The rock and hula show started off vibrantly and energetically. The singing and hula were wonderful, instantly immersing us in the Hawaiian spirit.

About ten hula dancers performed on stage with instruments like the uli uli and puili, and their acrobatic performances were impressive. After a while, an Elvis Presley impersonator took the stage, and he was amazing—not just in appearance but also in costume and voice! The video of the real Elvis Presley projected beside him was equally captivating.

Next up was a Michael Jackson impersonator. I was truly impressed by the professionalism of both performers! The finale featured a fire dance that was powerful, with the intensity and heat of the dancers' sweat adding to the spectacle. It was incredible!

An hour and a half flew by, and I couldn't take my eyes off the performance for a moment. With excitement still buzzing, we headed back to the hotel, having truly enjoyed a wonderful evening.

早めの夕食を済ませて、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階会場へ。
ワクワクしながら、、さあ始まりました。
ロックフラショーが華やかに賑やかにスタートです。
歌もフラも素敵で一気にハワイアンの気分で盛り上がりました。
10人位のフラダンサーがウリウリやプイリの楽器を持って舞台狭しとダンスされたり、アクロバットを取り入れたパフォーマンスも見ごたえありました。
しばらくすると、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさん、容姿だけでなく衣装も歌声も素晴らしい！舞台横に映し出されたエルビスプレスリーご本人の映像と何ら引けなく、釘付けです。
なんと次はマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんです。
おふたりのプロ意識には感服しました！
最後はファイアーダンスです。迫力があり、熱さもダンサーの汗も飛び散ってくる迫力でした。凄い！ていう言葉しかありません。
あっという間の一時間半、片時も目を離さずにはいられません。
興奮冷めやらぬ気持ちでホテルに向かいましたが、本当に楽しい夜を過ごせました。

I was finally able to see the Rock-a-Hula show again after a long time (maybe the third time?). You can enjoy a high-level show featuring impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and some people I didn't recognize (laughs), along with a hula show. However, it seemed like Michael Jackson was a bit tired? I felt that his sharpness was slightly lacking. Still, it brought back memories of that time, and I had a very moving and enjoyable experience. The venue is located within the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, making it easily accessible for older individuals, so I highly recommend it.

久しぶりに、ロック・ア・フラショーを観る事が出来ました。（多分、3回目？）エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、知らない人（笑）のそっくりさん達と、フラショーを交えたレベルの高いショーが楽しめます。ただ、マイケル・ジャクソンさん、少しお疲れだったのでしょうか？あのキレッ！キレ！さが少し欠けていたように感じました。それでも、当時の事を思い出し、とても感動し、楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。開催場所も、ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内にあり、高齢な方でも気軽にアクセスしやすい場所なので、お勧めします。

3 mia tias and I made the score. Landed a full blooded Japanese kuddle fish used a worm as bait. Highly recommend.

We went with a couple in their 30s and 20s, along with four children aged 1 and 2! I didn't have high expectations because the price was low compared to other hula shows, but it pleasantly surprised me.

The entertainment was a mix of various genres, including rock and roll, Hawaiian music, and hula dancing! What stood out the most was the show featuring Michael Jackson, which I know well. His classic songs were performed live by a band, and there was also a collaboration with dance footage of Michael himself, which got everyone in the audience excited. However, during Michael's "Thriller," the children started crying, so families with kids might want to sit further back, haha. There was also an Elvis Presley show, but since I wasn't very familiar with that artist, I wished I had studied more about him.

The hula dance show was also a highlight. They showcased hula dancing, an essential part of Hawaiian culture, with energetic performances that made us feel vibrant. The fire dance, in particular, was an impressive performance!!

The performance lasted about an hour, which was a manageable time for the kids, and since it was right in the heart of Waikiki, the access was great. I think it's a very easy-going hula show to participate in. I definitely want to go again next time!

30代と20代の夫妻、そして1歳児、2歳児の子どもたち4名で行ってきました！
他のフラショーと異なり、金額が安いため、そこまで期待していなかったのですが、良い意味でそれは裏切られました。

ロックンロールやハワイアンミュージック、フラダンスなど、様々なジャンルが織り交ぜられたエンターテインメントでした！特に印象に残ったのは、私もよく知っているマイケル・ジャクソンのショーでした。生演奏のバンドと共にマイケルの名曲が演奏され、その後にはマイケル本人のダンス映像とのコラボレーションもあり、会場全員ノリノリになっていました。
ただ、マイケルのスリラーで、子どもたちが泣き出してしまったので、子連れ家族は後ろの座席のほうがいいかもしれません笑
また、エルビスプレスリーのショーもあったのですが、こちらは私があまりその歌手を知らなかったので、もっと勉強しておけばよかったと思いました。

フラダンスのショーも見どころのひとつでした。ハワイアンカルチャーに欠かせないフラダンスを、エネルギッシュな演出と共に披露しているため、見ているこちらも華やかな気持ちになりました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻のパフォーマンスでした！！

パフォーマンスの時間も1時間程度と時間拘束も少なく、子どもたちも飽きず、かつ、ワイキキど真ん中の会場のためアクセスも良くて、非常に気軽に参加できるフラショーだと思います。ぜひ次も行きます！

Amazing time. Great to see see the sunset with. Thanks again

Excellent and fun crew and was a highlight for all 6 of us on vacation. Incredible sunset, City and Diamondhead views. Even saw a few whales! Great value for the price and will definitely do it again.

I made a reservation because I wanted to enjoy a meal while listening to live music, but the seat I was shown didn't have a view of the performance, so I quickly asked to be moved. Up to that point, everything was fine, but the waitress who saw the printed voucher insisted that she had never seen such content before and claimed it was outdated. I strongly protested, and even after showing her the e-voucher and reservation email, she remained unconvinced and made me wait for over five minutes.

Finally, as if nothing had happened, she came to take our order, but without any apology, which left me feeling quite displeased! During our meal, other staff members came by a few times to check on us, but… In the end, the initial waitress apologized for her lack of understanding, but unfortunately, it didn't lead to an enjoyable dining experience. I realized that this is what Outrigger Reef is like.

生演奏を聴きながら食事をしたくて予約しましたが、案内された席は演奏が見えない席でしたのですぐに変えていただきました。そこまでは良かったのですが、印刷したバウチャーを見たウェイトレスはこんな内容は見たことが無い。古い内容だと言い張ります。私も強く抗議し、eバウチャーや予約メールも見せても納得せず5分以上待たされました。
何事もなかった様にやっとオーダーに来ましたが、謝罪もなく気分良くはありませんね！食事中に他の従業員は何度かご機嫌伺いにきましたが…
最後の最後に最初のウェイトレスが自分の認識不足だったと謝罪してきましたが残念ながら楽しい食事にはなりませんでした。アウトリガーリーフってこの程度なんだと納得

I watched it on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii.
You can listen to music from famous people in America who have connections to Hawaii.
It's very well done and interesting, with performances that you wouldn't see in Japan, so I think it's worth a look.
However, the music being played is somewhat dated, so if you're in your 30s, it might lack excitement.
I was able to watch it until the end, but my companion, since it was the first day of our arrival, slept through the whole thing from start to finish! (laughs)

ハワイ到着初日に視聴。
アメリカで有名な人の音楽でかつハワイに縁のある人の音楽が聴けます。
とても、上手で面白く、日本ではみないような演出をしてくださるので、一見の価値はあるかと思います。
ただ、流れてくる音楽の世代がいささか古いので、30代前後だと面白味に欠ける可能性はあるかもしれません。
僕は最後までしっかり見れましたが、連れは到着初日ということもあり最初から最後までずっと寝てました笑

We had a great time on this catamaran ride. The boat was very nice and the crew was very attentive.

I signed up without meals. It was enjoyable enough. The fire show was particularly impressive. I was surprised to see a hula dancer with a big belly.

食事なしに申し込みました。それなりに楽しめます。ファイアショーが特に迫力があってよかったです。フラのダンサーにおなかが大きい人がいて
びっくりしました。

On my last trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise and had a great time, so this time, since the day before my return was a Friday, I joined a fireworks viewing cruise. It seems that some other tours don't allow you to see the sunset due to departure times, but this tour lets you enjoy both. There are sightseeing boats and yachts, but I recommend the yacht. It departs from in front of the Prince Hotel, and you can get there from Waikiki by taking bus numbers 20, 23, or 42. On the way back, I took the E bus. Tips are separate, and there was a box provided for them when disembarking.

前回のハワイ旅行ではサンセットクルーズに参加してとても良かったので、今回は帰国前日が金曜だったこともあり花火鑑賞のクルーズに参加しました。他のツアーでは出発時間の関係で夕日が見られないツアーもあるようですが、このツアーは両方見られます。船は遊覧船とヨットがありますがヨットの方がお勧めです。プリンスホテルの前から出航ですが、ワイキキからは20，23，42番のバスで移動できます。帰りはEに乗りました。チップは別で下船の際に入れる箱が用意されていました。

It was a fun experience at night in Waikiki. You can participate without a mask. After ordering a Blue Hawaii at the bar counter, I was able to enjoy the show.

The distance between the audience and the dancers was just right.

Men swam down from the ceiling, and there were performances featuring Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and hula, all packed into one exciting show. Time flew by as the energy continued to build.

At the end, there was a great bonus where you could take photos with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

ワイキキの夜の楽しい体験です。マスクなしで参加出来ます。バーカウンターでブルーハワイをオーダーしてから観劇出来ました。

観客とダンサー達の距離感がちょうど良く

天井から男性が泳いできたり
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソン　ファイヤーダンスにフラとてんこ盛り。盛り上がり続けてあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。

最後はエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンとお写真が撮れるという大サービスもありました。

entire crew was so wonderful. Very attentive , asked everyone where they were fro and really interacted with guests one on one . I mean I just loved it and would do it 20 more times

It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.

参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。

I visited on Wednesday night.
Dinner while listening to live music was very nice!
The staff were friendly, and the food was very delicious.
The portions were quite large, so I took home what I couldn't finish.
There was a long line for those without reservations, and they were waiting quite a while (about 30 minutes for one group), so it was good that I made a reservation for the course.
This was the most memorable experience of my stay in Hawaii.

水曜日の夜に伺いました。
生歌を聞きながらのディナーとても良かったです！
スタッフの方の感じも良かったしお料理もとても美味しかったです。
料理の量が多めだったので食べきれない分はテイクアウトして持ち帰りました。
予約なしの人たちは行列ができていてかなり待ってた（一組大体3０分程の待ち）ので、コースにはなりますが予約していって良かったです。
今回のハワイ滞在で最も心に残っている体験です。

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.

We came to Waikiki for our honeymoon. Since my wife wanted to see a Hawaiian show, we decided to book this experience. The welcome, dinner, hula practice during dinner, and hula show were all exactly as we imagined and were fantastic.

During the meal, there was a couple next to us who came from Los Angeles. The atmosphere was so good that we were able to get to know them well. Additionally, we were able to see shows featuring performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which was very enjoyable.

Great captain, great crew, great friends, beautiful night. Who good ask for more!

This time, I watched a show as part of a limited number of monitors. I attended with my spouse, and I noticed a few other Japanese people in the audience. The seats were in one of the last four rows, and since it was open seating, we were able to sit almost in the middle.

■ Show Structure
It featured Hawaiian songs, popular past hits like those of Michael Jackson, and fire dancing.

■ Impressions
You can hear live performances of songs by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. As others have mentioned, it would be unfair to call it mere impersonation, as the performers have outstanding vocal abilities. I wasn't familiar with many of Elvis Presley's songs, but I had a great time. There was interaction with the audience, and the backup dancers and live music were of impressive quality. Songs from the Disney movie Moana were also performed, which I think children would enjoy as well. While you can find free hula and fire dancing performances in places like shopping malls, the quality of this show is very high, so I recommend attending this even if it's just for the show itself.

今回、人数限定のモニターでショーを観ました。
夫婦での鑑賞で、他にも日本人の方はチラホラ見かけました。
席は後ろから4列のどれかでよく、自由席だったためほぼ真ん中に座れました。

■ショーの構成
ハワイの歌、マイケル・ジャクソンなどの過去の人気ソング、ファイヤーダンスといった感じです。

■感想
エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの生歌を聴けます。
他の方も記載されていますが、ただの物真似と言うと失礼で歌唱力バツグンの方が歌います。
エルビス・プレスリーは知らない曲が多かったのですが、すごい楽しめました。
観客との交流があったり、バックダンサーや生演奏もすごい完成度で圧巻です。
ディズニー映画のモアナの曲も歌われ、子供でも楽しめるのではないかと思います。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは無料で観られるところはショッピングモールなどにありますが、ショーとしての完成度が高いため、ショーのみのプランでもいいので、こちらを鑑賞されるのをオススメします。
