All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

We participated as a couple in a plan organized by an acquaintance. At first, I thought it would just be a casual event enjoying music while having a meal, but they played nostalgic songs one after another, and both my spouse and I had a wonderful time. Our seats were arranged in the same group as our acquaintance, and we were able to spend special moments with friends over drinks and food before the show started. The meal was luxurious and delicious. I realized that there are such enjoyable experiences to be had on a trip to Hawaii, and I am grateful for this tour and my acquaintance.

知人の企画で夫婦での参加となりました。最初は食事をしながら音楽を楽しむ程度のものかと思っていましたが、昔流れていた音楽が次々と繰り広げられ、懐かしい気持ちで夫婦共々楽しんでいました。座席も知人と同じグループとしてアレンジしていただき、ステージが始まる前の時間もドリンクや食事で友人との特別な時間を過ごすことが出来き、食事も豪華で美味しくいただけました。ハワイ旅行でこういった楽しみ方もあるのだなと、このツアーと知人に感謝の気持ちです。

I often visit live venues in Japan, but I decided to attend this show for the memories of Hawaii. Upon entering through the VIP entrance, I was greeted by a performer resembling Katy Perry, and I was overwhelmed by her doll-like appearance as we all took a commemorative photo together. I was guided to the front row right below the stage, where a wonderful meal was served one after another. When crab was brought out, the staff promptly removed the shells for us, allowing us to enjoy a very pleasant and delicious dinner.

As the show began, there were performances of Elvis, Michael, Katy, and Hawaiian performers, seamlessly blending with oldies that even Japanese people are familiar with, all accompanied by wonderful music. The quality of the singing was very high, and the performers often came down into the audience, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

I have experienced a real Michael stage performance before, but I believe this is not just an impersonation show; it is a splendid example of American entertainment.

私は、日本でもよくライブ会場に足を運びますが、ハワイの思い出にこのショーに参加してみました。VIP専用の入り口から入るとケイティ・ペリーのパフォーマーがお出迎え、まるでお人形のような容姿に圧倒されながら、皆で記念写真。ステージすぐ下の最前列に案内され、素敵な食事が次々と運ばれてきます。蟹が出てきたときには、すかさずスタッフが殻を外してくれて、とても気持ちがよく美味しいディナーをいただきました。
ステージが始まると、エルビス、マイケル、ケティにハワイアンパフォーマーと息もつかさず、日本人でもよく耳にしたオールディズが素敵な演奏とともに繰り広げられました。皆さん歌のクオリティも非常に高く、よく会場にも降りてきてくれますので、楽しめます。
本物のマイケルのステージも体験したこともありますが、これは単なるモノマネショーではなく、立派なアメリカンエンターテイメントだと思います。

My husband and I booked the fireworks sail for our last night in Hawaii and it was a great way to end our trip. The music was right, the fireworks were a beautiful sight, and my cup of maitai was constantly filled by the shirtless bartender! We would definitely book this again when we come back and maybe bring a few friends with us next time. :)

I heard from a friend who has seen various shows in Hawaii that the Hilton's luau was absolutely fantastic, so I decided to go.

The day before, there was heavy rain, and I was worried it might be canceled (it mentioned indoor seating), but on the day itself, it was beautifully clear. However, since it was going to be evening, a jacket was necessary. With guaranteed front-row seats, we also had priority for the buffet, and an extra drink was included, so we really enjoyed the meal.

There were couples from all over the world celebrating their honeymoons and silver anniversaries, and it was fun to chat with everyone at the same table. Our seats were the fourth row from the front, and the dancers were visible from all directions, so I had no particular complaints. However, I was a bit put off by the amusement park-style photo sales.

Whether you go early or not doesn't make much of a difference, but I'm glad I opted for the guaranteed seating.

ハワイでいろいろなショーを見ている友人から
ヒルトンのルアウは最高によかったというので
行ってきました。

前日が雨がすごかったのでもしかしたら中止（室内）と書いてあったので
不安になっていましたが
当日はカラッと晴れてましたが夜になるので上着は必要でした。
前方席確約だとブッフェも優先的に
そしてもう一杯ドリンクがついているので
食事もたのしめました。
新婚、銀婚という世界中のカップルがきていて
同じ席でいろいろ話も弾んで楽しかったです。
席自体は前の方の席で4番目
ダンサーさんはどの方向からも見える位置なので特に不満もなかったのですが
遊園地のような写真の販売にちょっと興ざめしてしまいました。

早くいってもいかなくても大して変わらないけど
確約席にしてよかったです。

Friendly staff, great service, great view, moved the boat around so every side had a great view

Great music, food and atmosphere. I wish we had more time. Definitely a repeat if given the opportunity.

It was a rock show after 20 years. Elvis was as cool as ever. It was disappointing that Michael Jackson was absent. Katy was cute too ❤️ She used to be Madonna, right?

２０年ぶりのロックアショー。エルビスは相変わらずカッコ良かったです。マイケルジャクソンが欠席だったのが残念でした。ケーティも可愛かった❤️昔はマドンナだったよね〜

There were few Japanese people, mostly foreigners, so just being on the boat felt exotic. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they also provided snacks. I was torn between a dinner cruise, but this one felt more like a resort experience. The rocking felt like an attraction, and depending on where you sit, you might get splashed by the waves, but that was also fun. The cruise was quite long, and by the time the sun was setting, everyone was singing together and having a great time. I wish I could speak a little more English. I will definitely ride again next time! I highly recommend it!

日本人は少なく、海外の人ばかりで船に乗るだけでも異国感。飲み物は飲み放題。スナックもくれました。ディナークルーズと迷ってましたが、こちらの方がリゾート感あります。揺れはアトラクションって感じで座る場所、波の大きさに濡れることありますがそれもまた楽しい。クルーズは結構長く日が沈む頃には、みんなで歌ったりとお客同士でワイワイ。もう少し英語話せたらよかったなぁ。絶対次も乗ります‼︎おススメです‼︎

We loved the view of fireworks over the HHW, and the Waikiki Beach skyline. After seeing the fireworks from shore, we wanted to take this trip on our return visit. It was worth it. The crew was fun and the mai tais were plentiful. Our only difficulty was finding the launch. Not being local, we weren't sure how to get to this spot. Street directions would have been helpful.

It was great. The best. I participated for the first time while staying at the Sheraton. Until now, I was just wondering what it was, but I happened to find it online and joined. It was very friendly and fun.

良かった。最高。シェラトンに泊まって初めて参加しました。今まであれなんかな?と見ていただけですが、ネットでたまたま見つけて参加しました。とてもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

This was my eighth visit to Oahu, so I was looking for activities I hadn't participated in before, and I found this one. Joining was definitely the right choice! The night view while drinking a Mai Tai was amazing, and the excitement from the boat's sway added to the fun! It was a wonderful time where participants and the crew all enjoyed together. ★

オアフ島は8回目の訪問でしたので、これまでに参加したことのないアクティビティを探していて、たどり着きました。
参加して大正解！マイタイを飲みながらの夜景は最高で、船の揺れでも大盛り上がり！参加者とクルーが一緒に盛り上がる素敵な時間でした★

This time, I participated with five friends from childhood (71 years old). When I mentioned that I had gone to see the show for the third time with my wife this October, they expressed a strong desire to see it as well, so they joined. I was amazed by the high quality and the spectacular stage, and we all had a great time. I was surprised that, apart from Elvis, the performers had changed since I saw it in October, and some parts of the show were different as well. Everyone had a wonderful time.

今回は幼馴染の男女5人での参加でした（71歳）今年の10月に妻と3回目の観ショーをした旨の話をしたところ是非とも観たいとの事で参加いたしました。そのクオリィティーの高さとショーアップされたステージに驚くとともに大盛り上がりで楽しんでおりました。10月に観た時と
エルビス以外は出演者も替っておりショーも一部分変わっていたのには驚きでした。
全員楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

The crew was friendly and fun. Great time and great mai this! Totally recommend!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We participated in a tour that is known for its unique hula dance show. During the initial backyard tour, we were greeted by an Elvis impersonator as a surprise. Although it wasn't the real Elvis, it felt like we had met a star.

After that, the dinner show began. The dinner was surprisingly filling, and we were very satisfied.

Then the show started. The hula dance show set to the songs of classic stars like Elvis and Michael Jackson was an impressive stage performance unlike anything I had seen before. Personally, I was most captivated by the fire dance. I recommend this for anyone looking to see a unique show.

新婚旅行でハワイにいきました。一風変わったフラダンスショーが見れると話題の当該ツアーに参加。最初のバックヤードの案内では、プレスリーのそっくりさんが出迎えてくれてるサプライズ。本人ではないですが、思わずスターに会った気分でした。
その後、ディナーショーが始まりました。ディナーも以外とボリューミーで大満足でした。
そしてショーが始まりました。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンと往年のスターの曲に合わせたフラダンスショーは今まで見たことがない迫力のステージでした。個人的にはファイヤーダンスに一番夢中になりました。ちょっと変わったショーが見たい方にはおすすめです。

I have always wanted to ride the Mai Tai, which is popular among foreigners. You need to make a reservation to enjoy the sunset cruise. The staff is cheerful and makes the sunset experience enjoyable. I want to ride it every time.

外国人の多いマイタイ号いつか乗りたいと思っていました。サンセットは予約しないと乗れませんよ。スタッフも陽気で楽しくサンセット。毎回乗りたいと思います

I participated in cocktail sailing. The view at sunset is amazing. However, it’s cold, so please dress warmly. I enjoyed the rainbow, the sunset, and arriving at Diamond Head.

カクテルセーリング参加しまいました。夕暮れの時景色最高です。ただ寒いので、暖かくして参加くださいませ。虹と、夕日とダイヤモンドヘッド到着して堪能しました。

From start to finish the service was great ! Loved the back stage tour with Gavin ! Our server was great very personable and answered questions we had regarding the area! All of the performers were great! Elvis was one of my favourite, loved when he went through the crowd and sang to the audience and gave scarves to the women in the crowd. The dancers were very good! There were 2 dancers in particular that really kept me captivated, their smiles and enthusiasm made me want to get up and dance with them. I would highly recommend this show to anyone . The food was okay. I found the food a little salty and my the steak was under done, but the rest of the tables was done fine, doing the entire package made it fun to get an inside look at what happens behind the scenes. Thoroughly enjoyable !

It was amazing.
I participated based on the experiences of others.

The view while feeling the sea breeze was fantastic, and the night view of Honolulu from the sea was very beautiful.
You can drink as much alcohol or soft drinks as you like, so no worries!
There are proper restrooms too, haha.

There are no Japanese people or Japanese staff, but everyone is cheerful and friendly, so those who can't speak English don't need to worry at all.

I’m definitely joining again next time!

最高でした。
他の方の体験談を参考に参加させて頂きました。

海風を浴びながら眺める景色もサイコーだし、海から眺めるホノルルの夜景もとても美しかったです。
アルコールやシフトドリンクを好きなだけ飲んでもご安心ください！
お手洗いもちゃんとあります 笑

日本人も日本人スタッフもいませんが、みんな陽気でフレンドリーなので、英語が話せない方も何も心配しないで大丈夫ですね

次回も参加決定です

I participated on my first day in Hawaii.

First, the meal and the show are held in separate locations. It starts with a buffet meal. There was plenty of time, so I could enjoy it at my own pace without rushing. As for the meal… well, it was average. The taste was pleasantly ordinary. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't impressively delicious either. It was enjoyable enough.

The female guide was very kind and provided excellent service with a lot of humor.

The show itself wasn't large-scale, but it was enjoyable both musically and visually.

Before the show started, I felt the need to go to the restroom, and a staff member (who I later found out was one of the main dancers!) kindly assisted me all the way to the restroom.

ハワイ初日で参加しました。

まず、お食事とショーは別の場所で行われます。
最初にビュッフェのお食事から始まります。
時間もたっぷり設けられていてあわてずゆっくり自分のペースで頂くことができました。
お食事の内容は…う～ん。普通です。お味は普通に美味しい。不味くはないけど、感動するほどの美味でもない。普通に楽しめる程度です。

案内係りの女性もとても親切でユーモア溢れる素晴らしい接客です。

ショー自体も決して大規模ではありませんが
音楽、視覚的にも楽しめました。

ショーが始まる前にお手洗いに行きたくなったのですが、スタッフの方が（あとでわかったのですがメインで登場するダンサーの一人でした！）お手洗いの前にまでアシストしていただいたり、とても親切です。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and the view from the yacht was amazing. I took some motion sickness medication just in case, but I didn't feel sick at all and completed the schedule without any issues. There were only a few Japanese people, and I think most of the others were from English-speaking countries.

While enjoying a delicious Mai Tai, I thought how great it would be to talk with these people, which strongly motivated me to learn English.

人生2回目のハワイでしたが、ヨットから眺める景色が最高でした。一応酔い止めも飲んで行きましたが、全く酔う様子もなくスケジュールを終えました。日本人はチラホラ程度で殆どが英語圏の方たちだったと思います。
美味しいマイタイ飲みながらこの人たちと話せたらなぁっと英語学習のモチベーションにも強く影響を与えました。

This time, we participated with five family members in the standard seating. I heard that there was a lei service, so I was ready to take photos when receiving the lei at the entrance, but we did not receive any leis and were processed in a conveyor-belt manner.

When we took our seats, the order for going to the buffet was prioritized for those at tables that received leis, and we had to wait for a while. Those who did not receive leis and did not understand the language were allowed to go without any warning, while those who understood the language were subjected to derogatory remarks.

Only those at the lei tables were allowed to participate in the show. I felt a sense of discrimination throughout. I thought that if I had known this, it might have been better to arrange for seats where we could receive leis (priority seating), but I also believe I would have felt uncomfortable in the opposite situation.

Next time, I would definitely like to choose the Polynesian or sunset cruising show.

今回スタンダードシートで家族５人で参加しました。
内容詳細にはシェルレイのサービスがあるとのことで、入り口で配られているレイを受ける時に写真で撮影しようとスタンバイしていましたが、私たちにはレイのプレゼントはなく、流れ作業的に進まされました。
席についても、ビュッフェの食事を取りに行く順番がレイを貰ったテーブルの人優先で、しばらく待機させられ、言葉のわからないレイを貰っていない人たちが行っても注意はなく、言葉のわかる人たちからは中傷の声が上がっていました。
ショーに参加する観客もレイの席の人のみ。ことごとく差別を感じました。
こんなことなら少々料金が高くても、レイのもらえる席（優先席）を手配したらよかったのかと思いましたが、逆の立場でも嫌な思いをしたと思います。
次回は是非ポリネシアンか夕日のクルージングのショーにしたいと思います。

The sunset was great, the crew was great, and the Mai Tai was great! It was a tour that had all the right elements. I didn't get seasick on the boat, but I did get tipsy from the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai (laughs). It was really delicious Mai Tai. Cheers!!

サンセットよし、乗組員よし、マイタイよし！
三拍子そろったグッドなツアーでした。
船に酔うことはなかったけれど、飲み放題の
マイタイに酔ってしまいました（笑）。
ほんとに美味しいマイタイでした。乾杯!!

The price was a bit high, but I decided to go for the "Green Room" tour. Whether it was worth the price is debatable, but it was a valuable experience to be guided and explained by a friendly manager through the backstage, which I would never normally get to see. Plus, I got to watch the show from a good seat, and since it's something you rarely get to do, I felt it was worth it for me. The show itself was quite impressive, and I think the structure was well done. I really enjoyed it. The food was also quite tasty.

ちょっと値段が高かったですが、思い切って「グリーンルーム」ツアーに申し込みました。価格ほどの価値があったかどうかは微妙でしたが、普段は絶対にのぞき見ることのないステージ裏を、フレンドリーなマネジャーが丁寧に案内、説明してくれるのは貴重な体験でしたし、良い席でショーも観られるし、滅多に出来ないことなので、私にとっては行って良かったです。ショー自体は、なかなか迫力も有り、また構成もよくできていると思います。とても楽しめました。お料理もまま美味しかったですよ。

I was able to see a beautiful sunset.
It gets chilly when the sun goes down, and you might get wet, so a jacket and towel are essential.
When riding on the yacht, it's best to go barefoot, so I recommend wearing sandals.

きれいなサンセットが見られました。
日が沈むと肌寒くなるのと、濡れたりするので上着とタオル必須です。
ヨットに乗るとき裸足になるので、ビーにサンダルがおすすめです。

I arrived in Hawaii on Friday, so I participated to see the fireworks. Most of the attendees were foreigners, but there was music playing and the atmosphere was great!!

They also served non-alcoholic pineapple juice, which was nice!

I got to see the fireworks, and it became a wonderful memory (*^ω^*)

金曜にハワイに到着したので、花火をみるために参加しました。ほとんどが外国の方でしたが、音楽もかかって雰囲気もよかったです！！

お酒が入っていないパイナップルジュースも出してくれて、よかったです！

花火もみれて、いい思い出になりました(*^ω^*)

The Viking plan has incredibly attentive staff! The number of dishes is a bit limited, but the friendly staff makes it all fine! You can enjoy the show even if you don't know the songs! I'm glad I participated in the show. Even without food, the seating is the same unless you're in a VIP seat, so I think you can be satisfied just with the show.

バイキングのプランですがスタッフの気づかいがもの凄く良い！料理は数も少な目ですがフレンドリーなスタッフで問題なし！
ショーは曲を知らなくても楽しめます！参加してよかったって思えるショーでした。
料理なくても座る席はVIP席じゃない限り一緒なのでショーだけでも満足できると思います。

Rockahula great show Elvis was amazing. Michael Jackson was fabulous. Katie Perry sounded like her. Your dancers were fantastic. Two were noticeable and made you want to dance. The two who did surfer girl song. Both of these dancers had high energy throughout show. She was a red head and he had a man bun. Fire dancer was awesome and put on unbelievable show. He danced like he enjoyed what he did. We were so close we could smell the gas Costumes were beautiful. The last show was amazing in the red and black with Elvis in his white suit. When Elvis came out the first time it was like looking at Elvis from the 60's and he did such a great job. Elvis sang the best songs and the guests and audience were thrilled when he came out and interacted with the guests. All performers interacted with the guests at some point. We had front row seats but there is not a bad seat in the place. Service was good. Lots of food , presentation was nice. Food was good, the salmon was a little too salty, steak was cooked to perfection. Evan our server was great , and very attentaive. Staff was attentive. We met Anthony the bartender at the end of the show continuex to offer us drinks and iffered great service. Can't say a bad word about the terrific service, we received the best service from all the staff. Performers met guests at the end and took pictures with many if us and chatted with us. Great overall experience.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Very willing to take photos of you and provide information.

There were three groups of Japanese participants, and about 30 foreigners. The explanations before departure and on the boat were all in English, so I was a bit anxious and didn't understand well. However, the captain and guide spoke fluent Japanese. After explaining to the foreigners, he kindly provided various explanations to the Japanese guests, mixed with jokes. The fireworks were beautiful. The best spot is at the back of the boat. The food was also delicious.

日本人3組参加でした。他は外人30人位。出発前と、船の中の説明は、すべて英語だったので、良く分からなく、不安でしたが、なんと、船長兼ガイドが日本語ペラペラで、外人に説明後、丁寧に、日本人だけに、ジョーク交じりに、色々説明してくれました。花火綺麗です。ベスポジは船後部です。食事も美味しいです。

子供たちと楽しい時間を過ごしました。ワイキキからホノルルを見渡す素晴らしいダイヤモンドヘッドの景色と共に、心地よい貿易風を楽しみました。クルージングは最高です！おすすめです。

had fun with my kids. enjoyed lovely nice trade wind with fantastic view of daiamond head through waikiki over honolulu.
good cruising!! recommended.
