All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The restaurant at the Outrigger Reef Hotel has a lovely pool. Families are smiling while watching their children play in the pool. It's a wonderfully warm atmosphere with live music, making it a great space for both adults and kids to enjoy. The meals and drinks served in this setting are delightful. I'm really glad I made a reservation!

アウトリガーリーフホテルの素敵なプールにあるレストラン。

なんともほんわかした雰囲気の中、生ライブもあって大人も子供も楽しめるような素敵な空間です。そんな中で食べるお食事や楽しめるお酒など。
ほんと予約して良かったと思います！！

If you've seen some Polynesian shows, you should definitely check this one out. It's casual and fun!

幾つかのポリネシアンショーを鑑賞された方は、是非鑑賞してみてはいかがでしょうか。カジュアルで楽しいですよ。

The guidance to the buffet seating and the distribution of drinks were extremely rough. There was no difference from the VIP experience. If it were like this, only the show would be good.

ビュッフェの席への案内、ドリンクの配布など、極めて粗雑。VIPとの差もなし。
これたったらショーだけが良い。

Karina and Jr were very welcoming and fun! Thanks guys!!!!

I watched the Hilton's luau show for the first time in a while. I made a reservation for an event during Christmas in Hawaii after three years. I felt like there weren't many Japanese people there yet. The show had great seating and was wonderful. The food was satisfying for me, especially since I had been lacking vegetables since coming to Hawaii.

ひさびさにヒルトンのルアウショーを観ました。
3年ぶりのハワイでクリスマスに何かイベントをと思って予約しました。
日本人はまだあまりいなかったような気がします。
ショーはお席もよく、素敵なものでした。
お食事もハワイに来て野菜不足だったので、わたし的には満足です

I attended with my 4-year-old daughter. The buffet was lavish, and the roast beef was especially delicious. There was also a simple hula lesson, which my daughter really enjoyed!

４歳の娘と参加しました。
ビュッフェも豪華で、ローストビーフが特に美味しかったです。簡単なフラレッスンもあり、娘もとても楽しんでいました！

I made a reservation for an event for both families after the wedding. The boat was about the size to accommodate around 30 people, and the cozy atmosphere was very nice. The gentle rocking felt like an attraction, and getting splashed with water occasionally was one of the joys that larger boats don't offer. Before booking the tour, I thought it was a bit short for the price, but after watching the setting sun, I was able to relax and enjoy the night view of Waikiki, which left me very satisfied. The variety of drinks was also impressive, which made me happy as a fan of alcohol.

結婚式後の両家でのイベントとして予約しました♪
30人入るか入らないか位の船の大きさで、アットホームな雰囲気がとても良かったです。アトラクションのような揺れで時折り水飛沫がかかるのも大型船にはない楽しみの１つだと感じました。ツアーを予約する前は時間としては短めのツアーでその割に値段も高く感じましたが、沈む太陽を見たあとはワイキキの夜景をゆったりと楽しむことができとっても満足感がありました。
お酒の種類も充実しておりお酒好きとしても嬉しかったです。

The dining area and the theater are at the same floor , the 4th floor of the shopping mall building. It is very close to the Waikiki Beach. We can just walk from our hotel, which is very convenient. The buffet has ube bread, salads, fish filet, steamed ube and yam, pastas, BBQ beef and etc. and the amazing food is pork and Traditional Hawaiian Kalua pig. The chef helped to cut the entire pig. The crispy pig skin is really good. I love it. And the coconut pudding is also delicious. And dinner, we watched the show. I thought it’s the show all about traditional Hawaii dance. However, it also has they music of Elvis Aaron Presley and Michael Jackson. The singers are amazing. I love the show, too.

I made a reservation for the first night in Hawaii. No one was wearing masks outdoors. The atmosphere was very Hawaiian, and sitting right in front of the stage, I could feel the waves and enjoy the live Hawaiian music and singing. It truly made me feel like I was in Hawaii! It was also nice that the artists were not young but rather had a certain presence, being a bit older. The food was decent, and the staff was friendly, making it a wonderful experience overall.

ハワイ初日の夜に予約。
マスクは屋外でみなつけてません。
ハワイらしい雰囲気、ステージすぐ前の席で波の音とハワイアンミュージックの生演奏と生の歌声であぁハワイにきたー！という実感がしみじみ。アーティストが若手ではなく貫禄あるややシニアの方々なのもまた良かった。料理もまずまず、スタッフも親切で最高です。

Evening sailing on the Mai Tai catamaran for sunset sailing was amazing.
The captain is fantastic and shows you the best sunset.
The drink service is excellent.
You can feel the thrill of sailing throughout your whole body.
The captain is handsome...
I would love to join again if I have the chance.

イブニングセーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号のサンセットセーリング、最高でした。
キャプテンが最高です、最高のサンセットを見せてくれる。
ドリンクのサービスが充実している。
セーリングの醍醐味が体全体で感じられる。
キャブテンがイケメン・・・
機会があったらまた参加したい。

There is no attendant at the meeting place, so I had to check in by myself at the check-in counter by showing my voucher. However, I was informed that my reservation wasn't properly reflected, which left me confused. In the end, it took quite a bit of time, and I managed to get in by sending a photo of the voucher. It was awkward since there were a lot of people lined up behind me.

The food was delicious, so I was satisfied. However, every time I ordered a drink other than the initial welcome Mai Tai, I had to pay with a credit card, which was a hassle. They don't accept cash, so a credit card is a must.

It seems that the performers change depending on the day, and on my day, it was only Elvis. I would have liked to see Michael too. If you like Elvis or Michael, you might enjoy it.

集合場所に特にアテンドの方はいないので、自分でチェックインカウンターでバウチャーを見せてチェックイン。と思いきや予約がうまく反映されていないと伝えられて困惑。結局かなり時間がかかってバウチャーの写真を送ることでなんとか入れてもらいました。後ろにかなり人が並んでいて気まずかった。
料理は美味しかったので満足です。ただ、最初のウェルカムマイタイ1杯以外のドリンクを頼む時、いちいちクレカでの決済が必要で面倒だった。現金は受け取らないとのことで、クレカ必須です。
ショーは日によって出演者は違うようで、私の日はエルビスオンリーでした。マイケルも見たかった。エルビスやマイケルが好きな人は楽しめるかな。

I enjoyed cocktails, beer, and even champagne while watching the sunset from the ship in the evening, feeling incredibly rich.
The cruise lasted about an hour and a half, and I was able to see the night view from the sea, which made for a truly enjoyable time.
I participated alone this time, but I was able to chat with various people and have fun.
I highly recommend it!

夕方から出港して夕焼け見ながらのカクテルにビール、シャンパンまでもサイコーにリッチな気分で楽しめました
約１時間半のクルージングですが、海の上から夜景までもみることができ、ほんとに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました
今回、ひとりでの参加でしたが、いろんな方とも会話でき楽しめますよ
ぜひオススメします‼️

We had the time of our lives. Great price, great staff, great company!

After enjoying the dinner buffet, I attended the hula show. Since there were nearly 700 guests, it took a bit of time for my turn to come, but there was plenty of food prepared, so nothing ran out. The show featured a content that conveyed the history of Hawaiian music, along with performers who looked and sounded just like Elvis and Michael Jackson. I was satisfied to enjoy the hula show, especially since I was unsure about dinner.

夕食ビュッフェを最初に頂いてからフラショーの観賞でした。
ビュッフェは700人近くいるお客さんなので、順番が回ってくるまでやや時間が掛かりましたが料理も十分用意されているので無くなることはありません。
ショーはハワイミュージックの歴史を感じる内容とエルビス、マイケルジャクソンといった見た目も歌声もそっくりなショースタッフの出演でした。
夕食に迷っていた事もありフラショーを一緒に楽しめて満足です。

The meal included delicious options like pork, roast beef, and was very filling! It was great that we could enjoy a variety of meats, fish, and vegetables. The juice was also tasty! During the meal, we were able to watch an aloha dance, and the music created a wonderful atmosphere while we ate! The show featured a whirlwind of dances to various songs, allowing us to really feel the essence of Hawaii, and I was extremely satisfied! It was especially exciting when songs I knew played, which doubled the fun!

ご飯は豚のお肉に、ローストビーフ、美味しいものばかりでボリュームも満点でした！お肉にお魚に野菜に満遍なくいろんな種類を取れるところもよかったです。ジュースも美味しかったです！またご飯の時も、アロハダンスが見られて、音楽がかかって良い雰囲気の中で、ご飯を食べる方ができました！ショーは怒涛の流れでいろんな曲の踊りが見られて、たくさんハワイを感じられて、大満足でしたっ！特に知ってる曲が流れた時には楽しさ倍増でした！

I and my family attended this activity on December 1, 2022. We had a great experience. The food and drinks were delicious. The service was great. Everyone was nice and friendly. The show was outstanding. All the staff and performers did a fantastic job to ensure we had a great time. We enjoyed the experience very much. We recommend this activity to anyone who is thinking about attending a luau in Oahu. The location of this activity is in Waikiki which is very convenient for us. If you are staying in Waikiki, you should definitely give this activity a try.

It was my first time visiting Hawaii and I wanted to watch a hula show. After doing some research, I chose Rock-A-Hula among others because of the location. It was located in the heart of Waikiki so I didn't have to worry about driving and another parking fees. The show is overall great, but I can't really say the same about the sound quality. It's not about the performance quality, but more of a sound system they have in the theatre. I'm a musician myself and may be little sensitive than musician, most people wouldn't tell the difference. (In fact, my parents really loved it). You could see many talented dancers and singers perform and it was the bomb. I highly recommend it!

The food was amazing for a buffet. The welcome cocktail was delicious. I would recommend getting the fish and the pork. The desert was also delicious!

The show was awesome and the drinks during the show were strong. I really liked the music and the performers! There is not a bad seat in the house! The Elvis impersonator was awesome! He should be in a Vegas show! Michael Jackson could of been a little bit better but he was still good.

Our server Kyle was excellent and was awesome during the show!

They do have an after party with good music that goes late into the night.

I would recommend getting their early to get a better seat and to be able to get food first.

This is the best luau on Oahu and would recommend this show to everyone. We will definitely be back for the great food, awesome entertainment and superior hospitality.

Aloha!

I made a reservation to see a hula show on my last night in Hawaii. The venue was just the right size, and I was able to see it up close. There were hula performances by different age groups and special appearances by celebrities, which made it very enjoyable. The food was plentiful, with lots of meat! The fruits and desserts were also delicious.

ハワイの最後の夜にフラのショーを見たくて予約しました。
会場もちょうど良い規模感で目の前で見れました。
年代別のフラのショーや有名人の演出などなどありとても楽しかったです。
お料理もお肉がたくさんでボリューム満点！
フルーツとデザートも美味しかったです。

The food was delicious, and I felt that the tasty dishes were truly enjoyable. The chicken and pork had strong flavors, but I found them to be delicious! Since it was a buffet, I could take only what I wanted, which was just right. The desserts were especially tasty and featured Hawaiian-style cuisine. During the buffet, the dancers kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. We moved to a hall in the same building for the show, where we enjoyed an authentic hula while reflecting on Hawaii's history. There were some songs in the impersonation show that I didn't quite understand, but each song was short, so I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. I experienced this with my husband on our honeymoon, and we both had a great time! However, since the seats are close together, it's necessary for everyone to take their own infection prevention measures. Also, the indoor areas in Hawaii are air-conditioned, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes. I found a light cardigan to be just right! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

食事はおいしいものはおいしいと言った感じです
特にチキンや豚は味が濃いですが私はおいしかったです！
バイキングなので欲しいものだけ取ることができたので丁度よかったです
特にデザートが美味しく、ハワイらしい料理でした
バイキング中もダンサーさんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです
ショーは同じ館内のホールに移動してハワイの歴史を振り返りながら本格的なフラを見ました
モノマネショーはよく分からない曲もありましたがどの曲も短く飽きが来なかったので楽しく見ることができました
今回ハネムーンで夫と体験しましたが2人とも楽しめました！
ただ席が近いので感染対策は各自で行う必要があります
あとハワイの室内はエアコンがきいているので羽織るものを持参した方がオススメです
私は薄手のカーディガンが丁度よかったです！
楽しい体験をありがとうございました

I participated in the sunset tour on the Mai Tai Catamaran. Enjoying drinks while watching the sun gradually set over the ocean, with the waves and a pleasant breeze, it became the best memory. After the sunset, we were able to view the night scenery of Honolulu from the sea, enjoying various beautiful sights. It gets a bit chilly after the sun goes down, so I recommend bringing a jacket. I was very satisfied with the approximately two-hour tour.

マイタイ・カタマラン号のサンセットツアーに参加しました。
海の上からお酒を飲みながら、だんだん沈んでゆく太陽、波の上、風が心地よく、最高の思い出になりました。サンセットの後は、ホノルルの夜景を海側から眺めることができ、色々なけしきを堪能できます。
日が沈むと少し肌寒くなるので上着はあったほうが良いと思います。
約2時間のツアーに大満足です。

I participated in my honeymoon trip. The explanation for the order of going to the buffet was a bit unclear, but I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. The food was delicious. By the way, there were mostly international guests, and I was a bit anxious about the few Japanese participants, but a dancer with ties to Japan was very considerate.

We were seated in the second floor, but we were only about 10 meters away from the stage, so we had a great view. The show featured performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, and the final fire show was incredibly impressive.

It turned out to be the best trip to Hawaii!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
ビュッフェを取りに行く順番の説明が少し分かりにくかったですが、色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。料理は美味しかったです。ちなみに、ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、日本にゆかりのあるダンサーが気遣いをしてくれました。
ショーは２階席でしたが、ステージから10メートルくらいしか離れておらず、とてもよく見えました。ショーにはプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンも出てきましたし、ファイナルのファイヤーショーは迫力満点でした。
最高のハワイ旅行になりました！

My wife and I are in Honolulu for our honeymoon and we cannot have picked a better Luau. The dinner and show is conveniently located in Waikiki, central to all the shopping and hotels. We were happily greeted by the staff right from checking in and the performers, hosts, servers were also very nice. They go above and beyond to make sure that every guest has a great experience. The buffet dinner had a lot of variety of foods that cater to everyone. After dinner, we headed into the theatre for the show. They took us through the history of Hawaii with music and dancing which was very entertaining. All the performers were truly talented. Especially the fire dancing! We would highly recommend this to our friends and families.

Friendly, fun crew and music. Alchoholic beverages or guava juice served. Great view of the island and Diamond head. Sit in the front netting if you want to get wet. Definitely consider tying your hair up ladies because it was very windy out on the water.

Fantastic & very friendly crew. Bottomless Mai Tais. Everything I expected & more. A must do when in Waikiki.

I was a bit anxious because there were mostly foreign participants and few Japanese attendees, but it was great that the luau buffet menu had Japanese descriptions. I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. A welcome drink was included, but any additional orders would incur extra charges. The roast beef and pork dishes were carved right in front of us. There were also desserts. Even from the second-floor seating, the show was very visible, but since both the show and buffet prioritize VIPs, I thought it might be worth paying for that. During the show, the Japanese attendees were wearing masks. The impersonations, hula, and fire dance were incredibly powerful and exciting, and I was glad to participate and feel the essence of Hawaii.

ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、ルアウビュッフェメニューは日本語表記があったためよかったです。色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。ウェルカムドリンクも1杯ついていて、それ以降注文する場合は別途お金がかかります。ローストビーフと豚料理は目の前で切り分けてくれました。デザートもあります。二階席でもショーはとてもよく見えましたが、ショーもビュッフェもVIP優先の順番になるため課金してもいいかなと思いました。ショー中は日本人の方はマスクをしていました。ものまねやフラ、ファイヤーダンスなどすごい迫力と盛り上がりで、参加してハワイを感じられてよかったです。

It was an Amazing experience. We spent the loveliest time in the middle of the ocean, saw the sunset & danced till we got tired. It was very clean, well maintained boat. Crew was very nice & friendly.

I chose this restaurant with live music by the poolside for my 80-year-old mother, who is traveling abroad for the first time with my spouse, hoping to have a dinner that feels like Hawaii. As soon as we entered the hotel, we could hear the music, and it was easy to find the restaurant. We waited about 10 minutes in line with three other groups, but it didn't feel long. Our seats were close to the stage, and there was a reserved sign placed there. Since we were a party of three, we could order almost all the menu options available, and everything was delicious and generously portioned. I was surprised by the size of the salad, and seeing the two types of main dishes accompanied by mashed potatoes made me feel like I was in Hawaii (laughs). We didn't touch the Huli Huli chicken and took it home as takeout for dinner the next day. Even the next day, it was tender after reheating. I found the pineapple crème brûlée to be quite delicious.

夫婦で海外旅行初の８０歳になる母親に、ハワイらしい場所でディナーをと思いプールサイドで生演奏のあるこのレストランを選びました。ホテルに入ると音楽が聞こえてきて、レストランの場所はすぐにわかりました。３組くらいの順番待ちで１０分程度待ちましたが、長くは感じませんでした。席はステージに近い横の方でしたがよく見える場所で、リザーブの札が置いてありました。３人で参加したので、選択できるメニューはほとんど注文できましたが、どれも美味しく、どれも量が多かったです。サラダの大きさに驚いたのと、メイン料理２種類にマッシュポテトが添えてあったのを見て、ハワイに来た感じを受けました(笑)フリフリチキンは手を付けず、そのまんまテイクアウトして翌日の夕食としていただきました。次の日でもレンチンして柔らかいチキンでした。私はパイナップル・クレームブリュレがかなり美味しかったです。

The experience was great, funny and friendly hosts, good music, very yummy bottomless mai tais and they had other options in their open bar too. The views were beautiful as well! Definitely add this to your to do list

Five years ago, I was moved when I first saw this show, and on the last day of my trip to Hawaii after five years, I went again. Although I was in the second-floor seats (not reserved), I was only about ten meters away from the stage, and the seating was arranged theater-style, rising from the front to the back, so I could see the cast's expressions well. The reception at the show venue starts at 7 PM, the show begins at 7:40 PM, and ends at 9 PM. If you finish an early dinner and enter as soon as the reception starts, you can sit in a good seat right in front of the stage.

Due to the weak yen, the prices have gone up a bit, but compared to show prices in Japan, I think it's still a good deal. I especially recommend this show for fans of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The show is entirely in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can enjoy it thoroughly.

５年前に初めてこのショーを見て感激し、今回５年ぶりのハワイ旅行の最終日に再び出かけました。２階席（指定席ではない）とは言ってもステージから１０メートルくらいしか離れておらず、席は劇場スタイルに前方席から後方席にかけて高くなっているのでキャストの表情も良く見えます。ショー会場の受付開始が１９時、開演が１９時４０分、終演が２１時。ちょっと早めの夕食を済ませて、受付開始同時に入場出来ればステージ正面の良い席に座れます。
円安でちょっと料金は高くなりましたが、日本のショー料金と比べたら割安と思います。エルビスプレスリーのファンの方、マイケルジャクソンのファンの方には特におススメのショーです。ショーは全て英語ですが、英語が分からなくても十分楽しめるショーです。
