All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

This is one of the cruises where you can truly feel the light and wind of Hawaii. It's a catamaran, so it's extremely stable. Enjoy soaking in the light and wind of Hawaii with your whole body. The sunset is also incredibly beautiful. Don't forget your camera!

最もハワイの光と風を感じられるクルーズの一つです。
双胴船なので安定も抜群です。全身でハワイの光と風を浴びてください。
サンセットも最高に美しいです。カメラをお忘れなく！

Loved the show. Very talented performers will definitely recommend to friends

My daughter, who is now a middle school student, went on her first overseas trip to Hawaii. I wanted her to see a hula show and try kalua pork, so I signed up for this tour. It was also great that the venue was just a 2-3 minute walk from our hotel.

The buffet venue and the show venue were separate, so we had to move between them. The buffet was located in the garden space next to the 4th-floor corridor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, but it felt cramped with tables packed into a small area. There was a small hula show, which might have felt more intimate, but I think it would have been better to have a larger space or reduce the number of guests to about two-thirds for more comfort. The buffet style allowed us to fill our plates with kalua pork, roast beef, salads, and other favorites, which seemed to be enjoyable. The dessert sorbet was surprisingly sour, and both my daughter and I were taken aback by it.

As for the show venue, we were seated in the second-floor section, but it wasn't a very large venue, so we were really close to the stage and could see everything well.

中学生になる娘は初めての海外旅行、初めてのハワイでした。
フラショーを見せてあげたく、カルアポークも見て食べてみて欲しくて、このツアーに申込みました。
会場が宿泊していたホテルから徒歩２～３分だったのもよかったです。

ビュッフェの会場とショーの会場は別で移動が必要でした。
ビュッフェの会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階通路横のガーデンスペースですが、狭いスパースに詰め込んだ感満載のテーブル席でした。ちょっとしたフラショーがあり、身近に感じられてよいのかもしれませんが、もう少し広いところでするか、客数を三分の二くらいにしてゆとりがあった方がよいと思います。
ビュッフェスタイルでカルアポークやローストビーフ、サラダなど、好きなものを好きなだけお皿に入れるのも楽しかったようです。デザートのシャーベットは見た目よりすっぱくて娘と二人でびっくりしました。

ショーの会場は私たちは２階席でしたが、そんなに広い会場ではなかったのでステージまですごく近くてよく見ることができました。

I decided to participate in the sailing instead of the dinner cruise because it had a higher review score and also goes out to Diamond Head. Choosing this sailing was definitely the right decision.

There was only one other Japanese group besides me. The rest were foreigners, and everyone was really lively. People of various ages were on board.

It was slightly cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to fully enjoy the process of the evening setting in and the night view becoming more prominent. It was romantic, and I savored the beautiful scenery.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and after toasting with Mai Tai, there were various options like pineapple beer (which wasn't sold at ABC Store), sparkling wine, and wine.

Since the weather wasn't great, there were times when the boat rocked like an attraction. It was fun, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to go on a nice day.

I enjoyed the sea breeze, the twilight, and the night view, and had a wonderful time. I would love to go again! I absolutely recommend it!

ディナー・クルージングよりも、セーリングの方がレビュー点数が高いのと、さらにダイアモンドヘッド沖まで行くのでこれに参加する事に決めました。このセーリングにして、大正解でした。

日本人は私以外は一組だけ。外国人ばかりでノリノリです。幅広い年齢の方が乗船していました。

薄曇りだったので、日没は見る事ができませんでしたが、夕暮れて行き、夜景が際立っていく過程を充分に見る事ができました。ロマンチックで、美しい景色を堪能しました。

ドリンクは、飲み放題でマイタイで乾杯の後、パイナップル・ビール（ABCストアでも売っていませんでした）、スパークリングワイン、ワイン等、様々ありました。

天気が良くなかったので、アトラクションの様に船が揺れた時もありました。面白かったけれど、船酔いし易い方は、天気の良い日に乗船なさった方が良いかも知れません。

海風と夕暮れと夜景を味わい、すてきな時間を過ごせました。また乗船したいです！　絶対にお勧めです！

Since I participated on Friday, I watched the fireworks from the Hilton instead of enjoying the sunset. The crew members were very fun, but there were free Mai Tai cocktails being served, and the boat was quite crowded and chaotic. On the day of the event, there was an announcement that the sea was relatively calm, but there were people who got sick from the alcohol and seasickness, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

金曜日参加だったので、サンセット鑑賞ではなくヒルトンの花火を船上から観ました。
クルーさんがとても楽しい方でしたが、フリーのマイタイカクテルが振舞われるのと船内が人いっぱいでカオス状態でもありました(^^;;
参加日当日は、割と海が静かだというアナウンスはありましたが、お酒と船酔いで吐いていた人もいるので、乗り物酔いをされる方は、酔い止めを服用されることをオススメします。

Unfortunately the weather gods were not on our side and we had high winds and very rough ocean.

However the boys who run this trip make it fun for everyone - the unlimited bar is just an added bonus.

Even though we didn't see the sunset due to weather I can imagine what it would be like on a perfect Hawaiian day.

We will definately go again on our next trip.

The boat and crew are awesome! Highly recommend! Me and my girlfriend and roommate have a blast. All you can drink and it’s all inclusive. I lived in Hawaii for 18 years and every time I go back to visit I try and go on a booze Cruze.

I participated in a honeymoon trip. If you're staying at Outrigger Reef, the meeting place is close and I recommend it. The sailing time was quite long, and I really enjoyed the cruise.

It was great to see the diamond head clearly. Since it was March, the wind was stronger than expected, and it got quite cold in the second half. Since you'll be taking off your shoes, I think it's better for those who get cold easily to dress warmly.

There was a wide range of participants, from young to old. Most were Westerners. There were various cocktails and alcohol available, making it a very enjoyable cruise.

新婚旅行で参加しました。アウトリガーリーフに滞在の方は集合場所が近くてオススメです。航海時間も結構あり、クルーズを満喫できました。
ダイアモンドベッドがしっかり見れてよかったです。3月でしたからか予想以上に風が強く後半はかなり寒かったです。くつも脱ぎますので、寒がりの方は着込んだ方がいいと思います。
老若男女という感じで幅広い方が参加されてました。ほぼ欧米人でしたが。
カクテルなどアルコールも色々あってとても楽しいクルーズでした。

It was raining in the morning, and the venue was changed, making it very difficult for non-staying guests at Hilton Hawaiian Village to find the location! However, while wandering around, we noticed more and more groups who seemed to be lost like us, and we all searched together, which eased our anxiety. Among them, a family from NJ seemed to be staying in the tower with the ballroom after the change, and although it was unrelated to the show, the concierge we asked at the hotel was not very helpful. The venue felt like a large wedding hall and had a smaller number of attendees, but we had seats in the front center, where we could closely watch lei-making and even get temporary tattoos done by magicians. The children had a great time as well. They came to our seats to take drink orders for three rounds, and we were allowed to go to the buffet first, with both the food and desserts being delicious. The show started quite early, so I was very grateful for the priority seating. Of course, we got to see an impressive show, and even though the rain in Hawaii had us feeling a bit down, we enjoyed a fun night with a fire show by three masters.

朝から雨が降っていて、場所が変更されての開催でしたが、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ非滞在者にはとても場所が分かりにくい！！しかし、うろついている間に、同じような迷子？グループが増えていき、みんなで探して不安がまぎれました。なかでもNJからお越しのご家族は、変更後のボルルームのあるタワーに宿泊していたらしく、ショーとは関係ないですが、質問したホテルのコンシェルジュが頼りなかったです。会場は大きな結婚式場みたいな感じで人数も少なめな感じでしたが、前方中央席で、近くでレイ作りや、マジックで入れ墨？を書いてくれたり、子供も多いに楽しんでいました。ドリンクも三杯分、きっちり席まで聞きに来てくれたし、バッフェも優先に取らせてもらえて、料理もデザートもおいしかったです。ショーは結構早く始まったので、優先で取れるのは大変ありがたいと思いました。もちろんばっちり迫力のあるショーが見られたし、雨のハワイではテンションも下がり気味でしたが、三人のマスターによるファイヤーショーも見られて、楽しい夜になりました。

such a fun way to begin our trip in hawaii. We arrived and headed straight for the cruise and it was just amazing.. the staff were awesome and never let your glass become empty. Such a nice way to see the whole of Waikiki beach. Highly recommended!!

We considered taking a cruise on the day of our family trip with 10 members as a memorable experience. We debated between a large cruise ship with meals included or a sunset cruise on a catamaran yacht. Having previously experienced both, and thinking about the grandchildren, we chose the catamaran yacht since it was "closer to the sea." Seeing the joy of our four grandchildren during the cruise and after disembarking made me realize that we made the right choice with the yacht. No one in our family got seasick, but those who are sensitive to motion should take precautions like taking medication.

10名の家族旅行の記念にと思い、急遽　当日に乗船を検討。食事付きの大型客船か双胴船ヨットでのサンセットクルーズにするか悩みましたが、以前　大型客船とヨット双方に乗船経験があり、孫を中心に考えると「海が近い」双胴船ヨットを選択しました。クルーズ中と下船した時の孫4名の喜びを見ると、ヨットにして良かったと実感しました。我が家族の中には船酔いした者はいませんでしたが、船に弱い人は薬を飲む等の対策は必要です。

We participated as a couple. The sunset was beautiful.
Hawaii has many sunny days, but it's rare to see a beautiful sunset with clouds near the horizon.
By the way, the sunset can also be beautifully viewed from the beach.
The staff provided a notice specifically for Japanese guests and were very proactive in taking photos, which was wonderful service.
The music played by the DJ felt a bit dated, and there were women in their 40s and 50s really enjoying it.
I thought the duration could be a little shorter.

夫婦で参加しました。夕日は綺麗でした。
ハワイは晴れの日が多いですが水平線の辺りは雲が多く綺麗なサンセットが見られるのはなかなかないかと思います。
ちなみにサンセットはビーチからでも綺麗に見れます。
スタッフも日本人専用注意書きをくれ、写真も進んで撮影してもらい、素晴らしい対応でした。
DJがかける音楽は少し世代が古く感じられ、40〜50代くらいのおばさんがノリノリでした。
時間はもう少し短くても良いかなと思いました。

Both the dinner and the show were amazing! We had dinner with our reluctant child, but the staff were very kind and helpful. The dance in the show had a high quality, and it progressed at a good pace, so we never got bored!

ディナーもショーも最高でした☆嫌々期の子供も一緒にディナーでしたが、スタッフのみなさんがとても親切で助かりました(*^^*)ショーのダンスもクオリティーが高く、テンポよく進んだので飽きませんでした☆

It was very good.
I thought it would be nice if the comparison of the price list was a bit easier to read.
I really wanted to have dinner while watching the dance show, but it was a bit disappointing that we made a mistake with the reservation due to our oversight.

とても良かったです。
料金表の比較等をもう少し見やすくしてくれると良いなぁと思いました。
本当はダンスショー見ながらご飯食べたかったけど私達の見落としで間違えて予約してしまったのが少し残念でした。

During a day with a thunderstorm forecast, it miraculously cleared up, and although it wasn't perfect, I was able to witness an inspiring sunset. The moody music and the sunset illuminating the hotels in Waikiki, along with Diamond Head, are definitely worth seeing. However, the waves were over 3 meters, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.

雷予報の一日の中、奇跡的に晴れ、完ぺきとはいえないまでも、感動する夕焼けを観ることが出来ました。ムーディーな音楽と夕日に照らされたワイキキのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドは一見の価値ありです。
しかし、波が3メートル以上あり、船に酔いやすい方は注意が必要。

The first thing I got confused about was the description of the location, "there are stairs beyond the pool at Sheraton Waikiki." When I arrived, there were no participants for the tour, and I was flustered! In fact, there were two conditions written on the paper! For those going on the tour, please remember this well! The pool at Sheraton Waikiki is not the one with the waterslide; it is the pool that is for people aged 16 and over! So please be careful!

私はまず迷ったのは、「シェラトンワイキキのプールの先に階段があって」という場所説明ですね。行ってもツアーに参加する人がいなくてあたふた❗️実は紙に書いてある条件のところは２つあったのです‼️ツアーに行く方はよーく覚えておいてください！シェラトンワイキキのプールというのはウォータースライダーがあるプールではなくて、１６才以上の人が入れるプールのことです‼️
なので気をつけて‼️

The title is a bit confusing ... sunset and fireworks cruise ... I thought I was ordering the fireworks cruise but in fact it was a sunset booze cruise. Weather wasn’t great but that’s not their fault. The 5:30 cruise is the sunset cruise. 1 1/2 hours all you can drink MaiTais and champagne. Friday night the yaucht club races, so that was pretty cool to watch. When we got off the boat we walked down the beach and actually had a really good view of the fireworks so it all worked out.

I made a reservation in Japan to take home the best memories on my last night in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't perfectly clear, which brought down the mood a bit. However, we were the only Japanese people there, and everyone else was foreign! The atmosphere was lively, and both the captain and the bartender (a woman) were very cheerful, which made us feel really happy.

While the sunset can be affected by the weather, the staff knew how to make the experience enjoyable beyond that. Watching the night view of Waikiki from the ocean and soaking in the atmosphere, I had four Mai Tais and felt absolutely wonderful.

ハワイ最後の夜に最高の思い出を持って帰ろうと日本で予約して行きました。
あいにく天気は快晴とはいかずややテンション下げ模様でした。
しかし日本人んは我々のみで、すべて外国の方！テンションもアゲアゲで船長＆バーテンダー（女性）もノリがよく気分はとてもハッピーになりました。
サンセットという意味では天気には左右されますが、それ以上にどう楽しませるかわかっているスタッフでした。
沖から見るワイキキの夜景や雰囲気にのせられ、マイタイも４杯頂き最高に気持ちよかったです。

Enjoyed the evening from start to finish - loved the meet and greet, the food was great and the selection unbelievable. The entertainment at the dinner and the participation by those having dinner created a happy and enjoyable experience. Following dinner the meet and photo session with Katie got everyone off to a great start for the show. I am a mad Elvis fan and an Australian who has been to Graceland 5 times, I had photos taken with Elvis after the show and told him that I have seen many Elvis impersonators and he is the best by far. I loved the show and the added input of the Beach Boys who I also love. The added attraction of the films behind the entertainers was fantastic. The backing band also were tops and the Hawaiian dancers right up there with the best.

My personal favorite part of the show - Elvis for sure - he blew me away and the way he moved about the audience during the songs made sure everyone had a great time. Will make sure during our next visit I and my colleagues will attend the show again!

Loved the dinner and show from start to finish! All of the performers were interactive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for all ages!

My family and I had an exciting time on this cruise. We got to mingle with people, laugh, talk, drink and the best part- dance while cruising on water. We had an awesome time and will definitely be cruising the Maitai Catamaran again!!!

Perfect night for a cruise. Our second voyage of the day on the Holokai. Rich and Michelle were excellent hosts and made everyone on board feel welcome. Lots of fun and laughter. Made us feel extra special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Home now and still smiling Michelle :D. Would highly recommend.

This Hawaii travel was our 4th visit and 1st to Oahu, we actually had multiple times of Luau at the Maui, Big Island, Kauai and even in the Oahu.
I can definitely vote Rock-a-Hura show was one of our best show out of what we experienced many Luau show.
We took show + Luau dinner, surprising was hura dancers at the Luau are all real dancers of main rock-a-hura show, they are very kind and friendly during our Luau dinner, I even still remember our table host whose name is Megan, she was also performed in the main show. Every table had assigned a dancer as host and they were taking care of all dinner process and took picture together, isn't it amazing?
Main show also was wonderful, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc.. all rockers were amazing as well as hura dancers who's already known during Luau dinner.
I strongly recommend this show if you are staying at the Oahu.

This is my second time participating after a year. Last time, I only attended the show, so this was my first experience with the buffet. The staff were very kind, dancing close by, which made the meal enjoyable. And to my surprise, these staff members were also performers in the show! It felt very personal, and the fun was doubled. The content of the show was completely different from a year ago, making it feel fresh, and everyone's skill level was high. I definitely want to see it again when I come to Hawaii.

1年ぶり、２回目の参加です。
前回はショーのみだったので、ビュッフェ付きは初めてでしたが、
スタッフの方達がとても親切で、身近で踊ってくれたりと楽しく食事をすることが出来ました。
そしてなんと、このスタッフ達がショーの出演者でビックリ！
とっても身近に感じられて、楽しさも倍増しました。
ショーの内容も１年前とは全然変わっていて新鮮だったし、皆さんの技術力も高く、ハワイに来た際は又是非観たいと思いました。

Before the show, we had dinner at a buffet-style restaurant on the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center's fourth floor. We were first offered drinks, and we could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Regardless of our choice, the drinks were served in Hawaiian-style cocktail glasses. The meal included a whole roasted pig, beef, salads, bread, desserts, and coffee, leaving us completely full. The dinner venue also featured hula performances and Hawaiian music, making the dining experience enjoyable. Finally, we entered the show venue and took our seats. The show was not only filled with impersonators of Elvis and Michael but also included hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to see it again!

ショーの前に食事でした。ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターの４階のテラスみたいなところでブッフェ形式のディナーを頂きました。最初にドリンクサービスがあり、アルコール入りかノンアルコールかを選べました。どちらを選んでもハワイらしいカクテルグラスででてきました。食事は豚の丸焼きのほかビーフやサラダやパン、デザートやコーヒーまでありお腹いっぱいになりました。ディナー会場でもフラやハワイアンの曲の演奏もあり食事中も楽しめました。いよいよショー会場に入り席に着きます。ショーはプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーだけでなくフラダンスありタヒチアンダンスありファイアーダンスありの盛沢山でとっても楽しめました。また観たいと思います！

I applied with a light heart, wanting to see a show that feels Hawaiian. The buffet food might not be suitable for those who dislike greasy dishes, but there was plenty of delicious meat and fish. It might be difficult to go back for more food due to the show and seating arrangements, but I think one plate will be satisfying.

As for the show, I enjoyed both traditional Hawaiian hula and fire dancing, as well as a rock show, and I was very satisfied with the ample time given. The cast members even came up to the second-floor seats during the show, so for those who want to shake hands, I recommend moving early after the buffet to secure seats in the front row or on the aisle.

By the way, if I were to go again, I think I would prefer a plan without the buffet.

なにかハワイらしいショーも観てみたいなと、軽い気持ちで申込みました。
ビュッフェの料理は、脂っこいのが苦手な人には向かないかもしれませんが、肉や魚の料理がたっぷりで美味しかったです。ショーや席の都合で、料理を何度も取りに行くのは難しいかもしれませんが、1皿でも満足できると思います。
ショーの方は、ハワイらしいフラやファイヤーダンスとロックショーの両方が楽しめ、時間もたっぷりで満足でした。
途中でショーのキャストさんが2階席まで来てくれたりもするので、握手などしたい方は、ビュッフェのあとは早めに移動し、最前列や通路側の席を確保すると良いと思います。
ちなみに、もし次回行くとしたらビュッフェ無しのプランでいいかな、とは思います。

We booked this tour because we wanted to see the sunset and beautiful scenery on our honeymoon. Since we were staying at Outrigger Reef, it was very convenient after departure and upon arrival.

However, it was indeed the rainy season. There were a lot of clouds, and we couldn't see the sunset. Additionally, being on a small boat was quite rocky. I felt nauseous and could hardly see the scenery.

Drinks are free, but I recommend not having too much alcohol. Also, it gets very cold, so I suggest bringing a jacket (I brought a down jacket).

There were only three Japanese people, including us, so it felt like an overseas club atmosphere, but that was fun in its own way, so I rated it a 3.

If you go during a time with better scenery, it might be more enjoyable.

今回は新婚旅行で来たため、サンセットが見たい、綺麗な景色が見たいとこのツアーを予約しました。
アウトリガーリーフに泊まっていたため、出発後到着後はとても便利でした。

しかし、さすがの雨季。
雲はたくさんあるし、サンセットは見れませんでした。それに加え、さすが小型船。揺れがとにかくすごい。気持ち悪くなってしまい、景色もほぼ見れませんでした。

飲み物は無料ですが、お酒をあまりとられないことをおすすめします。また、とても寒いので上着を持っていくことをおすすめします。(わたしはダウンを持参しました。)

日本人はわたしたちを含め三人しかおらず、海外のクラブのような雰囲気でしたが、それはそれで楽しかったので、評価としては３にしました。

景色がもっとよい時期に乗ると、気持ちいいかもしれません。

The night started off with hula dancing, and then transitioned into dining and then the show. It's only being honest when I say the food was a disappointing. I guess I expected it to be a little more foreign. It tasted great and me and my mom both got more than enough. The hosts were extremely original and open and encouraging to conversation. The girls were gorgeous and so attentive. There was only one guy host, Zack and he was really considerate, High energy and fun. The show definitely climaxes. It was so exciting. All of the performers looked happy to be there and we're putting themselves into it. It's obvious that alot of effort went into the choreography, set up and music. I loved that the singing was live and the VOICES!! Wow. Micheal Jackson, Katy Perry, Elvis in mpersonations were more than exceptional.

I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.

At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.

The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.

If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.

The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.

　ゴールデンシート＜前方席確約＞で参加しました。席も良かったですし，ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので，この席にして良かったと思います。

　会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので，着席するまでに長い行列ができます。

　スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが，チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は，ショーの最後の方で，5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。

　1時間近く待つのが嫌なら，18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。

　ショーは，ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて，楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが，英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。

　

The meeting time was 7 PM. I got lost and was about 10 minutes late, which made me anxious. However, check-in actually started around 7:20 PM, so I was able to participate without any issues. The Hilton fireworks began right after departure and ended quickly, so afterward, we just enjoyed the distant night views and drinks. There was a wide variety of beverages, so I think everyone can enjoy it. There are also restrooms, which is reassuring. When I participated, there was one other group of Japanese people. There were also families with children. All the explanations were in English, but I think it should be fine.

集合時間は19時。迷ってしまい10分ほど遅れたので焦りました。が、実際のところチェックインは19時20分くらいからスタート。問題なく参加できました。ヒルトンの花火は出航後すぐに始まって、すぐに終わってしまうので、その後はひたすら遠くの夜景とお酒を楽しむ感じ。飲み物の種類は豊富だったので、どなたでも楽しめると思います。トイレもあるので安心です。私が参加した時は日本人があともうひと組いたかな。お子さん連れの方もいました。説明等、全て英語のみでしたが大丈夫だと思います。
