Waikiki
About 15 years ago, I participated in the same luau as an option on a tour, but back then it was outdoors, so I was a little disappointed that this time it was indoors. I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes before the opening time, but there were already 7 or 8 groups ahead of me. While waiting, I was able to talk with an elderly couple from New Jersey who stood behind me, and thanks to their patience with my broken English, the time flew by until we entered the venue. Since I lined up early, the table we were guided to was right behind the high-priced tables, making it very easy to see the show. The food and drinks were delicious, and I was very satisfied with the spectacular show. If the yen becomes a bit stronger, I would like to participate again. At the end, I took a photo with one of the dancers from the show, and my wife was also very happy with the night. *I declined the commemorative photo taken at the beginning because it was expensive.
15年くらい前にツアーについていたオプションで同じルアウに参加したことがあったが、その時は屋外だったのが今回は室内だったのが少しだけ残念だった。
開場時間の30分前に集合場所に行ったが既に7〜8組が前にいた。
待っている際に後ろに並んだニュージャージーから来られていた年配の
ご夫婦と話をすることができ、片言の英語に付き合っていただいたおかげで
あっという間に会場となった。
早めに並んだので案内されたテーブルは高いコースのテーブルのすぐ後ろでとても見やすい席だった。
料理もお酒も美味しくいただき、圧巻のショーにとても満足することができた。
もう少し円高になれば、また参加したいと思った。
最後にショーのダンサー?の方と一緒に写真を撮っていただき、妻も大満足の夜でした。
※最初に撮っていただいた記念写真は高額のためお断りした。
It was great to visit Hawaii after a long time and be able to explore various places in a short time. The shrimp was delicious, and surprisingly, the fried banana snack I tried for the first time was really tasty.
久しぶりハワイで、短時間に色々とまわれた所かわ良かったです。シュリンプも美味しかったし、初めて食べたバナナ揚げたおかしが以外に美味しかったです。
Tours in Hawaii typically follow a free plan. If you don't participate in activities like fishing, snorkeling, golfing, or horseback riding, you can finish sightseeing around Waikiki in just three days. With a four-day free plan, you might even end up with a day where you have nothing to do. For those people, the one-day sightseeing plan on Oahu is perfect. A guide who also drives a microbus will take you to various places. Additionally, this plan is for a small group, so you won't have to worry much about others. Since the trolley is open, it's best to avoid it on rainy or cold days. Unless you have the budget to tour by taxi, I highly recommend this plan.
ハワイのツアーは、フリープランが主流です。釣りや素潜り、ゴルフや乗馬をしない方は、3日もあればワイキキ周辺の観光が終わってしまいます。フリープラン4日あれば、1日はやることがない日ができてしまいます。そんな方にぴったりなのが、このオアフ島1日観光プランです。マイクロバスでガイド兼ドライバーさんがいろいろなところに連れて行ってくれます。また、このプランは少人数なので、あまり他に気兼ねすることがありません。トロリーはオープンなので雨や寒い日は避けたいところ。タクシーで観光できるお金に余裕のある方は別として、とてもお勧めします。
The level of impersonation is high. For those over 60, they can really relate to Elvis and Michael, as they are from the same generation. There were young men and women from Western countries in the center of the audience, cheering loudly. I wonder if they were planted there, as is often seen in American show business? Well, it seems that in Japan, when ticket sales are sluggish, promoters often arrange for this kind of thing... But they really livened up the atmosphere. I'm very impressed. My companion has a small appetite, so we only attended the show without having a meal. Since others had a buffet set, it was very helpful to have just the show option. Lastly, I've seen hula and Polynesian dance at places like the Tokai Hawaiian Center and Ikawa Island, so I wasn't particularly moved by that, but the rock segment was really good. I recommend this show over other hula shows.
モノマネのレベル、高いです。60歳以上の老人には、エルビス、マイケルと同世代のため、とても共感できます。欧米系の若い男女が観客席中央にいて、大きな声援を上げていました。あれは米国のショービジネスによく見られる、
サクラかな?まあ日本でもチケットの売れ行きがパッとしない場合、興行者側が良く手配しているようですが・・・。でもよく場を盛り上げてくれています。とても感心です。同行者が少食なもので食事はとらず、ショーのみでした。他がバイキングとセットなので、ショーのみはとても助かります。最後にフラやポリネシアダンスは常磐ハワイアンセンターや行川アイランドで見ているのでこれといった感動はなく、ロックのところがとてもいいです。他のフラショーよりこちらをお勧めします。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed Elvis, Michael, and American rock music. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケル、アメリカンロックを楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The food was delicious, and the show was amazing! I was satisfied to enjoy a welcome Mai Tai along with the meal. The show was full of excitement, and both parents and children could enjoy it together. I recommend taking a commemorative photo with the cast after the show as well.
料理も美味しかったし、ショーも最高でした!
料理と一緒にウェルカムマイタイも頂けて、満足です。
ショーは迫力満点で、親子で楽しめました。
ショーの後もキャストと記念撮影もできるのでおすすめです。

All the staff were very warm and welcoming. The show had many highlights, and I felt it was a good decision to book the tour. The location was also easy to find, as it was inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, which was great in terms of accessibility.
スタッフの方々全員がとてもあたたかくもてなしてくれました。ショーも見所が多く、ツアーを申し込んで良かったと思いました。場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中とわかり易かったので、立地面でも良かったです。

We participated in the Thursday evening show after searching for various options at the request of my child who wanted to see a fire dance. There were some Japanese attendees, but the majority were foreigners.
The venue was about 60% full, and even though we arrived about 10 minutes before the show started, we were able to sit quite close to the front. The seating was not reserved, so it was first come, first served.
I looked into other tours as well, but since the fire dance itself only lasts about 5 minutes out of the total show time of over an hour, I chose this tour because it seemed to have a structure that would keep us entertained without getting bored.
In addition to the Hawaiian-themed show, the singing and dancing performances by impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were spectacular, and even though I wasn't a big fan of theirs, I enjoyed it very much.
There was also an announcement that photography during the show was allowed, and everyone was taking pictures and videos all around. After the show, the performers, including Michael and Presley, came out to the lobby for individual photos and handshakes.
Many young foreigners in their teens and twenties were also asking for photos and handshakes, which made me feel once again the greatness of Michael and Presley. It was an affordable show that was highly enjoyable even for those who are not fans, and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it!
ファイヤーダンスを見たいとの子供のリクエストでいろいろ探した上で木曜日夜の部に参加。日本人もいたが、大半の参加者は外国人だった。
会場内は6割くらいの入りで、開演10分くらい前の入場だったが結構前の席に座ることができた。席は指定ではなく、早い者勝ちの様子。
他のツアーも調べたが全体1時間超のショー時間のうちファイヤーダンス自体は5分程度なので、飽きることなく楽しめそうな構成のものということでこのツアーを選択。
ハワイアンなショーに加え、マイケルジャクソンとエルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんによる歌とダンスパートが圧巻で、特に彼らのファンでもなかったがとても楽しめた。
またショーの撮影もokとアナウンスあり、みんなそこかしこで写真や動画撮影をしていた。
終了後、マイケルやプレスリーら出演者がロビーに出てきて個別撮影や握手に応じてくれた。
外国人の10〜20代くらいの若者も多くが写真や握手を求めており、改めてマイケルやプレスリーの偉大さを感じさせた。
手頃な値段で特にファンでなくても大いに楽しめた、予想以上に楽しめるおすすめのショーだった。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show with your child. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show.

I signed up for a dinner buffet tour, and I was able to enjoy a wide variety of dishes. Although I'm not good at English, there was a person from Norway sitting next to me, and we had a great time until the end of the show using gestures, broken English, and their broken Japanese.
The show featured performances that were incredibly impressive, resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The hula show was also captivating, with singing and dancing that were all perfectly executed.
I would love to participate again; it was a wonderful experience with the food and the show.
夕食ビュッフェ付きツアーを申し込みましたが、料理の種類が多く堪能できました。英語が苦手な私ですが隣の席にノルウェーの方がいて身振り、手振りとカタコト英語と相手のカタコトの日本語でショーの終わりまで楽しく過ごすことができました。
ショーもエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの物まねとは思えないほどの内容で堪能しました。またフラショーも見ごたえが有り、歌と踊り全てが完成されていて素晴らしかった。
また参加したい、見てみた食事、ショーでした。

There was a bit of an internal mistake with the tour company, and the guide seemed to have a tough time, but the participants were able to enjoy themselves.
I participated alone, but it was more efficient to visit various places compared to going around on The Bus, and the meals along the way were lively and fun. The group activities during my solo trip to Hawaii were enjoyable.
I also appreciate the service spirit of the female driver.
ちょっとツアー会社さんの内部のミスで、ガイドさんが大変そうでしたが、参加者は楽しむことができました。
ひとり参加でしたが、The Bus で回るより効率よく色々回れるし、途中の食事もワイワイできて、ひとりハワイの合間の団体行動は楽しかったです。
ドライバーの女性のサービス精神にも感謝です。
I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.
ロックアフラに参加出来てとても感激です。
最初のディナーは、ハワイローカルの美味しい料理を味わう事が出来て、良い体験でした。
また、ウクレレの生演奏やフラダンスも楽しめました。ショーの方は、多様な歌や踊り、楽器演奏があり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。どの演目も迫力があり、プロフェッショナルのエンターテイメントに体全体が震えました。こんなに素敵なショーが見れたことに感謝しています。ディナーのサーバーのおもてなしも大変素晴らしかったです。
このような素晴らしい機会を与えて頂いた事に感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

Tickets for the show only. The seats were towards the back, but it was still possible to enjoy the performance. After the hula dance, there was an Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson show. There was also a fire dance, and the audience from the West was really into it.
ショーだけのチケット。席は中間より後方でしたが、十分に鑑賞できます。
フラダンスのあとは、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンショー。
ファイヤーダンスもあり、欧米の観客のかたもノリノリでした。

Our tour guide “D” was so friendly, kind, informative, and very considerate. We had many stops for different tastes of Hawaii. The tasting started with Malasadas from the Leonard’s food truck. We also stopped at a macadamia nut farm that also had this sweet little pearl shop where I bought gifts for my daughters and myself. The best part for me was when we stopped at a beach to try and see turtles and my family did spot some playful ones! We stopped and had garlic shrimp for lunch which was delicious and filling and we ended the day shopping in Haleiwa Town. I think we stopped at like 3 beaches and the Blowhole. It was a whirlwind and a little taste of everything!
We enjoyed the malasadas that the guide purchased while looking at the ocean, and there were plenty of activities like tastings and photo opportunities at the stops. Everyone praised the garlic shrimp as delicious. This tour is highly recommended as a one-day course to fully experience the essence of Hawaii.
ガイドさんが途中で購入したマラサダをそれそれ海を見ながらいただいたり,立ち寄り店での試食や写真撮影など盛り沢山でした。
ガーリックシュリンプも参加者全員が美味しいと絶賛してましたよ。
ハワイらしさを満喫出来る1日コースとしては
お勧めのツアーです
It took a bit to get to the top of the building but it was worth it. We got there and they were very helpful. Greeted up with a lei and took us to our table. Gave us our drink order (non alcoholic) and took our picture. The line up of food was quite amazing! All kinds of food to please everyone's liking. They also had dessert. It rained pretty good so they were able to cover the side so we didn't get wet. After dessert we we inside to watch the Rock a hula. And it was awesome. Elvis and Michael Jackson preformed along with the amazing hula dancers. It ended with an amazing fire show! It was well worth it! Go see it
The dance and singing were of high quality and enjoyable. You can also enjoy meals and entertainment before the show. The impersonators of Elvis and Michael were so dedicated to their roles that it didn't feel cheap at all. I recommend going at least once.
ダンスも歌もクオリティが高く楽しめました。ショウの前の食事やエンターテイメントも楽しめます。エルビスとマイケルのそっくりさんもなりきり方が徹底しているので安っぽさありませんでした。一度は行ってみることをお勧めします。

The food was just average. Since it's a buffet, you can eat as much as you want. A person came around playing the ukulele at each table, but it seemed like they were looking for tips, so feel free to decline if you don't want to give one. Dining outdoors had its challenges due to the season and weather, and it was a bit cold. We got VIP seats for the show, but I think you can enjoy it from the regular seats as well. The impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson seemed to be of high quality.
食事の味はまぁ普通です。ビュッフェなので満足するまで食べられます。
各席を回ってウクレレを弾いてくれる方が回って来ましたがチップ狙いのようなので不要であれば断ってください。
野外での食事で季節、天候の問題もあり多少寒かったです。
ショーはVIP席をとりましたが、通常の席でも楽しめると思います。
エルビスやマイケル・ジャクソンのモノマネですがレベルは高いようです。

This combo offers an immersive and entertaining experience that captures the spirit of Hawaiian culture. The evening begins with a warm welcome and traditional lei greeting, setting the tone for an authentic Hawaiian experience.
The dinner itself features a delicious buffet spread showcasing a variety of local dishes, including traditional Hawaiian favorites such as kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, and poi. The food is fresh, flavorful, and provides a wonderful introduction to Hawaiian cuisine.
The performance showcases the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, with vibrant costumes, energetic dances, and soulful music that transport audiences to another time and place. One of the highlights of the evening is the fire knife dance, a mesmerizing display of skill and daring that never fails to impress. Watching the performers twirl, spin, and juggle flaming knives against the backdrop of the night sky is truly awe-inspiring and adds an exhilarating finale to the show.
It started with the staff draping leis on us, followed by a buffet-style dinner while enjoying Mai Tais! After a practice corner for hula dancing, it was finally time for the dinner show! There were performances typical of Hawaii, as well as impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson... it was quite a packed experience. It might be similar to the shows you see in Las Vegas. I had a great time on my last night in Honolulu.
係の方からレイを掛けてもらうところから始まり、マイ・タイを飲んだりしながらのビュッフェスタイルのディナー!
フラダンスの練習コーナーもあったりしたあとは、いよいよディナーショー!
ハワイらしいショーもあったり、エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーもあったり…と盛り沢山な感じでした。
ラスベガスなんかで見るショーに似てるかも…。
ホノルル最後の夜を楽しく過ごせました
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show on the last day of your stay in Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, as well as the performances by Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.
The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.
The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.
The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.
Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.
After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.
You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.
After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!
The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.
Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.
The entire event is c
以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。
会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。
16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…!並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。
当日はハワイらしい快晴!開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。
会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ!全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。
しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。
食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる?」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。
一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった~!
ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス!!
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事!火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。
他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。
なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず!
(一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。)
ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました!
I purchased the Rock-A-Hula Luau Dinner with Green Room VIP Package as part of an early Valentines trip to the Island of Oahu. We are a couple who have been to each of the main Hawaiian Islands and look for unique experiences each place we travel. We have participated in other Luau's in Hawaii and similar other events in other places we have traveled. Upon arrival we were greeted with flower lei's. Then had Champagne and appetizers in the Green Room which had furnishings from Elvis's home. Cameron the manager who gave us the tour was very informative and could tell he had a passion for the production and the crew. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming and during dinner came around and performed various songs, dances, and even did a "Hula Lesson" for anyone who wanted to participate. The food and drinks were very good as well. Following Dinner we went back to the main theatre for the show which was a good blend of history and entertainment. We appreciated the screens showing the history and how it coordinated with the entertainment on stage. Overall the Green room/Backstage tour experience was very good and we are glad to have opted for this option but also would recommend just the dinner and show experience.
It was an amazing day! I was lucky to see both seals and turtles. It was a rare experience to enjoy food unique to Hawaii. The garlic shrimp was incredibly delicious! Although I participated alone, I was grateful that Kanako talked to me a lot. It was a meaningful day with many conversations! Thank you, Takashi, for the poetry recitation!
丸一日が、あっと、ゆーまでした!
アザラシもカメも見れてラッキーでした。
ハワイならではの食べ物も食べれて貴重な体験でした。ガーリックシュリンプ最高に美味しかった〜
1人参加でしたが、カナコさんがたくさん話しかけてくれてありがたかったです。お話もたくさんして下さり有意義な一日でした!タカシさん、詩吟ありがとうございました!
The Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor of Waikiki's bustling area has excellent access! I debated whether to get a ticket with a buffet dinner, but I didn't want to be restricted by time, so I opted for just the viewing ticket and enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a restaurant within the center.
The seating is arranged in a circular shape with 180-degree views, divided into three blocks, with the center being reserved seating and the sides being general seating. Since it was a weekday night, there were only about a third of the seats filled on the day I attended.
The show included hula dancing, a live performance by two superstars, fire performances, and Disney songs, making for a fun night that really lifted my spirits!
ワイキキ繁華街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階の常設施設内なので、アクセス抜群です!
ブュッフェディナー付きのチケットか悩みましたが、時間の縛りが嫌だったので観覧のみのチケットにして夜ご飯はセンター内のレストランでゆっくり過ごしました。
席は180度円形型の座席で、3ブロック分かれている内の中央が指定席、左右が自由席のようです。
平日の夜だったこともあってか、観覧した日は三分の一くらいのお客さんでした。
フラダンンス+スーパースター2名のライブ+ファイヤーパフォーマンス+ディズニーソングと盛りだくさんの内容で、テンションが上がる楽しい夜が過ごせました!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Right on HHV grounds, easy to get too, a wonderful night!
There isn't enough gratitude that I can express for the staff at the Rock-A Hula show! I came with a date, but my flight arrived in late, so my date was there, but I missed everything up to the dinner and show.
They were so accommodating ensuring my date received all the perks that were promised, and kept her company until I arrived. Then, when I got there, they even accepted my bags, and brought me food to ensure I ate enough before the show! Just great customer service.
Now the show... Just awesome. As a musician, everything was on point. The band, vocals, especially the Elvis act! Highly recommend and glad it was the first thing we did to get me back in good spirits after missing some of the action due to my flight.
Thanks staff! What a great experience!
The atmosphere is nice while listening to live Hawaiian music. Although the variety is limited, the portions are enormous. I think it's better for everyone to order different main dishes.
生ハワイバンドを聞きながら、雰囲気はいいです。
品数が少ないが、量が物凄く。メインは皆で違うものを頼んだ方がいいとおもいました。

The staff members are friendly and amazing! This tour stops at popular local shops all the way to the North Shore, allowing you to enjoy local food. I was able to see turtles on the beach, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you!
スタッフの方々がフレンドリーで最高です!
このツアーは、ノースショアまでのローカルで人気のあるお店に立ち寄って、ローカルフードを楽しめます。浜辺でカメを見ることが出来て、とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました!
This time, my family and I participated in the dinner show "Rock-a-Hula" for the first time. After having dinner, we watched the show. First, regarding the dinner, there were a decent number of dishes, so I think you'll feel full. However, the meat was a bit tough and didn't taste very good. As for the show, the seats we had were excellent, so we had a great view. There was hula dancing, and impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which made it quite lively and enjoyable. It seems that there are options to just attend the show, so I think it would be nice to have a meal in Waikiki and then enjoy the performance.
今回、初めてディナーショーの「ロック・ア・フラ」に家族で参加しました。
ディナーを頂いてから、ショーの観戦という流れでした。まず、ディナーですが品数もそこそこありお腹いっぱいにはなると思います。ただし、お肉は固めであまり美味しいと感じませんでした。ショーの方は、観戦した席が大変良かったので、よく見えました。フラダンスあり、エルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーがあったり結構盛り上がり、楽しめました。ショーだけもあるようなので、ワイキキあたりで好きな食事をし、観賞するのもありだと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

It's a show that delights tourists. You can enjoy it with dinner included. The shows featuring Presley and Michael Jackson were a hit even with Americans, and the audience was singing along.
観光客に喜ばれるショーです。ディナー付きで楽しめます。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーはアメリカ人にとってもウケて、客席の方々歌ってました。

The hula show lesson was lively, with participants enjoying themselves. The buffet had an overwhelming volume, and the roast beef was delicious.
The entertainment show that followed was very realistic, and even if you're not a fan of Elvis or Michael, you'll have a great time.
フラショーのレッスンがあり、楽しく参加されてる方々が盛り上がってました。食事は、ビュッフェで食べきれないボリュームでローストビーフがおいしかったです。
移動してのエンターテイメントショーも、リアリティーがあり
エルビスやマイケルのファンでなくてもすごく楽しめますよ。

My birthday dinner. I thought it would be nice to try casual dining for a change, so I made a reservation for the live music. Even though I mentioned it was my birthday, there wasn't any special service. When I told the waiter who brought my last coffee that I wished he would have at least said "Happy Birthday," the live band played "Happy Birthday" for me.
For dessert, I had a super sweet ice cream (see photo).
自分の誕生日ディナー。たまにはカジュアルダイニングもよいかと、生演奏目当てに予約。誕生日だと伝えてたのに、特にサービスもなし。最後のコーヒーを頼んだボーイに誕生日おめでとうくらいいってほしかったわと伝えると、生バンドが、happyバースデーを演奏してくれました。
デザートは甘〜いアイス(写真)でした。
アロハ、
私たちは、カニカピラグリルでの誕生日のお祝いのために、あなたが素晴らしい食事体験を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います!
将来、再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。
マハロ!
