All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The sunset from the sunset sailing was a bit cloudy, but it was nice. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also great. The service from the guide on board was excellent, and I think everyone had a fun and emotional time until the end.

サンセットセーリングからの夕日は少し雲がかかっていたけど良かったです。
海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドと眺めも良かったです。
船上でのガイドさんの接客もよくて、みなさんが最後まで楽しく、感動的に
過ごせた時間だったと思います。

I attended with my husband, his mother, and our two children, making a total of five of us. It was a wonderful show featuring hula, songs from Disney movies that the kids know, as well as music from Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, fire dancing, and more—something that the whole family could enjoy! They even took pictures with us, making it a very memorable experience. I definitely want to recommend it to everyone! ^ ^

主人の母、主人、子供2人と私の5人で参加しました。素晴らしいフラに加え、子供も知っているディズニー映画の歌や、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、ファイヤーダンスなどなど、家族みんなが楽しめるショーでした！！
一緒に写真も撮ってくれたりと、とても思い出に残るものでした。
ぜひぜ皆さんにもおススメしたいです^ ^

I felt that the fireworks were a bit far away, but overall it was good. My feet were completely bare. Marine shoes were also not allowed.

花火が少し遠いと感じましたがおおむね良かったです。
足は完全素足です。マリンシューズも不可でした。

Well done. We loved the show and would do it again. We highly recommend this show.

I thought it was over after watching the fireworks, but even after they ended, I was able to enjoy the peaceful sea out offshore. It was a lot of fun.

花火観賞で終わりとおもっていたが花火が終わった蹟も沖合いまで出て太平の海を満喫できました。楽しかったです。

I previously participated in a luau at Hilton on the Big Island, but this was my first time on Oahu. It was a luau on a rooftop surrounded by hotels, and the show was wonderful. If I understood a bit more English, I might have grasped the explanations better, but I still enjoyed the stage performance. After the show, the dancers were also happy to take photos, and it seemed like the kids had a great time. Above all, it really felt like I was in Hawaii.

以前はハワイ島でヒルトンのルアウに参加しましたが、今回はオアフでの初参加でした。
ホテルに囲まれた屋上でのルアウでしたが、ショーは素敵なものでした。
もう少し英語が分かれば、説明している内容も分かったのでしょうけど、それでもステージは楽しめました。
ショーが終われば、ダンサー達も気軽に写真にも応じてもらえますし、子供も楽しめていたようでした。何より、ハワイに来たな〜と感じられます。

I wasn't expecting much from the food or the show, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable and delicious! When Michael came out, it was the best! I didn't know they had shows like this in Hawaii. The hula dancing was also wonderful. It's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

食事もショーも期待していませんでしたが、これが結構楽しくて美味しかった‼︎
マイケルが出てきた時は最高‼︎
ハワイでこんなショーをやってるのを初めて知りました。
フラダンスも素敵でした。
一度は是非‼︎

We had such a fabulous night on this cruise. The fireworks were fabulous but more importantly the hosts were great, funny and made the experience even better. Loved going for a sail afterwards and the maitais were delicious. Thanks for an awesome night.

The view was absolutely beautiful. Upbeat background music was playing, and there was an all-you-can-drink option (including alcohol) along with some simple snacks. You can choose your seat in the order you lined up, but every seat offers a great view, and you can freely stand up or move around, so honestly, any seat is good. (For those who are afraid of seasickness, the back is the least bumpy.) If you're at the very front, you might get splashed by the waves! The sunset was stunning! Seeing the Waikiki beach hotels and Diamond Head from the ocean was also wonderful! The breeze felt nice! It was the best.

景色が非常に良かったです。
ノリノリなBGMが流され、飲物飲み放題（アルコールも有り）、簡単なスナック菓子付。並んだ順に席を選べますが、どの席でも景色は良いですし、好きに立ったり席移動も自由なので、どこの席でも正直良いと思います。（船酔いが怖い人は一番後ろが一番揺れません）一番前だと、波をかぶって濡れてたかも？
夕日がキレイ！ワイキキのビーチホテル群もダイヤモンドヘッドも沖から見るのもまた良い！風が気持ち良い！最高です。

We participated as a family of four and enjoyed wonderful sailing in great weather. We took in the stunning views of the hotels along Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the beautiful sunset sinking in the west. The captain and all the staff only spoke English, but they were very attentive with boarding, disembarking, and serving drinks. Also, the popular Mai Tai initially feels like juice, but be careful as the alcohol kicks in after a while.

家族4人で参加、天候に恵まれ素晴らしいセーリングを楽しみました。海からのワイキキビーチのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景そして西に沈んでいく素晴らしい夕日を堪能しました。船長はじめスタッフは全員英語しかしゃべらないのですが、乗船下船や飲物サーブもしっかり対応してくれます。また、人気のマイタイは最初はジュースのように感じますが、そのうちアルコールが回ってきますのでご注意を。

Staff were amazing. Helpful and fun. Had an awesome sail and saw the sun set capturing the most amazing photos. It was relaxing and chilled. People were friendly and we all enjoyed the music as we watched the horizon. Thanks for a great experience

I had a great time starting with the Polynesian Show, followed by Presley and Michael! I would like to see it again when I travel to Hawaii!

ポリネスアンショーから始まり、プレスリー、マイケルととても楽しめました！
またハワイ旅行の時には、観たいと思っています！

At first, I was worried about getting wet from the waves and the rocking of the boat, but it was fine. I held back a bit on the all-you-can-drink option since there were no restrooms, but the Mai Tai on board was delicious. There were no snack appetizers.

最初は波で濡れることやゆれる事を心配しましたが、大丈夫でした。飲み放題もトイレがないので少し抑え目にしていましたが、船上のマイタイはおいしかったです。おつまみスナックはありませんでした。

Mai Tai Katamaran is fully booked for reservations, so it's hard to get a spot once you're there. Moreover, I think this tour is very special because you can enjoy the fireworks. The departure time is after dinner, which gives you some leeway. First, we boarded the boat and toasted with Mai Tai. After that, we cruised and docked on the Hilton side. The boat stays in a position where you can see the fireworks from either side. If I had to say, the best position is the front right from the beach. At 8:00 PM, the fireworks started. For almost five minutes, you can enjoy the fireworks without anything obstructing your view. After the fireworks, we continued cruising along Waikiki Beach up to the Diamond Head area. It was a wonderful time. However, I noticed that other boats departing from Waikiki Beach had a higher ratio of foreigners, which created a more lively atmosphere, and I really liked that feeling of being abroad!

マイタイカタマランは、現地に行ってからではまず予約できません。予約でいっぱいなので。
しかも、今回は花火鑑賞ができるということで、とても貴重なツアーだと思います。出発時間も夕飯を食べてからの出発なので余裕もありました。まずは、船内に乗り込みマイタイで乾杯。その後クルーズを経てヒルトン側に停泊。船の左右からどちからでも見えるように、泊まってくれます。強いて言うなら浜から見て右手手前がベストポジション。20:00になり花火開始。5分弱の時間、遮るものもなく花火を満喫できます。花火鑑賞後はクルージング。ワイキキビーチに沿ってダイアモンドヘッド付近までいきます。素敵な時間でした。ただ、ワイキキビーチから出ているほかの船の方が外国人比率が高いので、さらに盛り上がり、海外に来ている！という雰囲気は好きかな〜

I was a bit confused trying to find the meeting place, but once I got on the boat, the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy my time with the international guests on board! The cocktail called Mai Tai was delicious, and the scenery was beautiful, making for a wonderful time!

集合場所を探すのに少し戸惑いましたが、船に乗ってからはスタッフの方々もとても親切で一緒の船に乗船したいた海外の方々とも楽しく過ごすことができました！マイタイと呼ばれるカクテルも美味しく、景色も綺麗で楽しいひと時でした！

The captain was a nice guy.
The boat was rocking a lot, so it's not suitable for small children.
There were children who were vomiting.
It's more for adults.

船長がﾅｲｽｶﾞｲでした
船揺れが激しいため、小さい子向きではありません。
吐いている子供がいました
大人向けですね

We had a great time on this cruise. the drinks were awesome and the crew knew what they were doing. They got us right in line for the Fireworks show. epic night and the bonus was a full moon. Highly recommended.

About 30 to 40 people were on board (I think there were three groups from Japan). Thanks to the favorable weather, we were able to see a truly wonderful sunset. However, the issue was with the response of the boarding staff from the previous year. Perhaps because they assume Japanese people can't speak English, they didn't approach us at all. On the other hand, they actively engaged with groups from other countries (like the mainland United States and Australia), checking on drinks and snacks. My group consisted of returnee students, so there was no problem with communication in English. It's really disappointing that the quality of service changed due to stereotypes.

1船 約 30~40 名が乗船 (日本からのグループは 3 グループとかだったかと思います)
天気に恵まれたおかげでしょうが、本当に素晴らしい夕焼けをみることができました。
ただ前年だったのは乗船スタッフの対応です。
日本人=英語ができない、と思っているからか当方には声をかけてくることはありませんでした。
その一方で他の国(アメリカ本土やオーストラリアなど)からの参加グループには積極的に声をかけ、飲み物の確認やスナックの確認があります。
私のグループは帰国子女グループだったので英語でのコミュニケーションにはまったく問題ありません。
そのため、ステレオタイプが原因でサービスの質が変わるのは本当に残念でした。

I thought it was a bit early for sunset. There were fewer Japanese people and many Westerners, but the reservations were fully booked.

All the explanations were in English. Among the stylishly dressed young people, it felt like being in a scene from a movie. In reality, people of various ages were enjoying sailing. The staff was attentive to all the guests.

サンセットの時間には少し早いかと思いました。
日本人は少なく欧米のかたが多いですが、予約は一杯でした。

説明は全て英語です。
華やかにおしゃれをした若者の中で、映画のワンシーンにいるかのようでした。実際には様々な年代の方がセーリングを楽しんでいました。スタッフも全てのお客さんに気を配っていました。

We were the only Japanese people there. Hardly anyone spoke English. Suddenly, there was cheering and applause as everyone teased a man who arrived late. The man stylishly apologized, and even though the departure was delayed, it turned into a fun event! Last time I got seasick on a dinner cruise, so I was advised not to drink citrus beverages the day before to prevent seasickness, and I felt great!

日本人は私達だけでした。英語はほとんど喋れません。
突然、歓声と拍手がして、遅刻した男性を皆で茶化しました。
男性もカッコよくお詫びして、出航が遅れたのに、それすらも楽しいイベントになりました！。前回ディナークルーズで船酔いしたので船酔い防止に、前日から柑橘系の飲み物を取らない事を教えてもらったので体調もベストでした！

The climate is refreshing, so it's not as humid as a beer garden in Japan. The show was enjoyable, and the food was delicious.

However, the venue might be a bit hard to find...

気候が爽やかなので、日本のビヤガーデンみたいに蒸し暑くありません。
ショーも楽しく、料理も美味しかったです。

が、会場が少しわかりづらいかな…

The cruise was a great experience and value. Super friendly crew!

The dinner was delicious and the portion size was just right for us. The show was diverse and we enjoyed the Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, sitting at a table by the stage was impressive, and it was great to interact with the members of the show.

ディナーは美味しくボリュームも我々にはちょうど良かった。
ショーもバラエティに富み、ハワイの雰囲気も味わえてよかった。また、ステージサイドのテーブルで迫力があり、ショーのメンバとふれあいもありよかった。

During our first trip to Hawaii, we decided to sign up for a Hawaiian show. We went in early June, and since it was in the evening, the sun was still shining when we were shown to our seats, which were directly in the sunlight. There was nothing to block the sun, so the seats that weren't in the shade (the ones directly in front of the stage) were extremely hot until the sun went down. Fortunately, we were seated in a shaded area, which was a relief.

The meal was a buffet, and since many people were going to get food, I was a bit worried about whether there would be enough left. However, it turned out fine. (There was a system in place where the area for getting food was determined, and you couldn't go up to get food unless you were called by the staff.)

We enjoyed the event even from our seats that weren't directly in front, and the dancing was wonderful. The male hula dancers were incredibly impressive and surprised us.

On the way back, we were able to take photos with the dancers in the lobby, which made for a great memory for us, as we had never seen authentic hula before.

初めてのハワイで、ハワイアンショーを見てみたいと思い申し込みました。
行ったのは6月上旬、夕方からなのでまだ陽も落ちてなくて座席に通される時間帯は日差し直撃。
特にさえぎる物もないため、陰になっていない席（ステージ正面席）は陽が落ちるまでは暑さ地獄。幸運にも横っちょの陰の席だったので助かりました。
食事はビュッフェで、かなりの人が取りにいくので「残っているのかなぁ～」と少々不安ではありましたが、大丈夫でした。（ビュッフェを取りにいくエリア順が決まったいました。ボーイさんからそのエリアへ声がかからないと勝手に取りにいってはいけない仕組みでした）
イベント自体は正面席でなくても十分に楽しめましたし、踊りも素晴らしかったです。男性フラが迫力満点で驚きました。
帰りには、ロビーで踊り子さんたちと写真が撮れましたし、
一度も本場のフラを見たことない私たちにとってはとても良い思い出になりました。

It rained during the day, so we were indoors after it got dark. The location is a bit hard to find, so it’s better to arrive early. I reserved a golden seat, but it was positioned too far to the side from the stage, and the angle was blocked by equipment like speakers, which was a bit disappointing. It was a buffet style, but if you miss the timing, there can be a long line, and some items run out quickly. I read in other reviews that golden seat guests had priority, but it seemed like regular ticket holders were the first to grab food, and we followed after them. The taste was generally good.

夜にはやみましたが日中雨が降ってたからなのか室内でした。場所は少しわかりにくいため、はやめに行った方がよさそうです。ゴールデンシートを予約しましたが、ステージからサイドすぎてスピーカー等の機材で遮られてる角度で少し残念でした。バイキング形式ですが、とるタイミングを見失うとすごい行列で無くなってしまうものもありました。他のかたの口コミでゴールデンシート優先とありましたが、普通に一般席の人がいの一番にとっており、それの後に続いた感じでした。味は普通に美味しかったです。

Open bar good place to sit if you have to. Fun night out.

I have been interested in the boat that departs from the Sheraton, my regular accommodation, for a long time. I can't believe I can book it here! From what I've read about the experience, there are not many Japanese people on board. That was certainly true. There were only a few Japanese passengers during my trip. I couldn't understand the captain's talk, but I enjoyed chatting with a lady from New Zealand who sat next to me.

Also, I quickly changed the Mai Tai they handed out right after boarding to juice (since I can't have alcohol). The background music and the feeling of the wind were wonderful, and since we went quite far out, it was a graceful and lovely time. I even managed to communicate with the boys in a spot where the waves were quite rough, all with smiles (^^). I'm really glad I experienced this. I will definitely book it again next time!

以前から、定宿のシェラトン前から出ている船に興味がありました。それがこちらで予約できるなんて！
体験談を読むと日本人は少ないとのこと。確かに。
わたしの乗船も数えるほどの日本人でした。キャプテンのお話も理解できなかったけど、隣に座ったＮＺからのご婦人とお話をしたり楽しかったです。
あと乗船してすぐ配られたマイタイをすぐジュースにチェンジしてもらいました（アルコールがダメなので）。
ＢＧＭといい、感じる風といい、かなり沖まで出たので優雅で素敵な時間でした。
波しぶきが激しい場所にいた男子とも笑顔でなんとなく意思疎通（＾＾）
本当に体験して良かったです。
次回も必ず予約して乗ります！

This time there was no champagne. I was a bit disappointed.

今回はシャンパンが無かったですね。
少し残念でした。???????????????????????????????????

At this time of year, you can't see the sunset from Waikiki Beach, so I signed up for this plan. Sailing while drinking a Mai Tai felt great.

この時期 ワイキキビーチからはサンセットが見られないので こちらのプランに申し込みました。
マオタイを飲みながらのセーリングは
良い気分でした。

It was a fireworks day, so we went sailing late in the evening. We enjoyed unlimited drinks while taking in the beautiful sunset views, stunning night scenery, and fireworks.

花火の日だったので、遅い時間のセーリングでした。夕暮れの景色から、美しい夜景、花火までお酒飲み放題で楽しむことができました。
