All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The show was entertaining and out of the ordinary. You won't find another show like this one on the island! Elvis and MJ both did a great job!

The luau show and the fire show were wonderful. The tattoo experience was also great, and I got a unique flower design. I could choose designs like turtles or tribal patterns for the tattoo. Of course, since it was done with a permanent marker, it faded by the next day.
The food was just okay—neither good nor bad.
I was able to see a beautiful sunset from the venue, and on Friday night, I watched fireworks that were among the best I've ever seen.

ルアウショーも、ファイヤーショーも素敵でした。タトゥー体験も素敵で個性的な花を描いてもらいました。タトゥーは亀とか部族の柄も選べました。もちろん油性マジックなので、次の日には消えました。
食事内容はまあまあです。可もなく不可もなくといった感じ。
会場から素敵な夕日も見れたし、金曜日の夜で花火を見たのですが、人生最高に近い花火でした。

First of all, the support at the meeting place was very polite. Above all, Koa, our guide, made the tour more enjoyable with his extensive knowledge, storytelling, and attentiveness. The content was truly packed with amazing experiences unique to Hawaii, and we were very satisfied with the scenery throughout the day. I don't think we could have had such an experience in just one day on our own. Thank you for your help!

まず集合場所での対応もとても丁寧。そして何よりガイドのKOAさんの豊富な知識と喋りと気配りがtourをより楽しいものにしてくれました
内容は本当に盛り沢山でHawaiiならではの絶品の数々と、その景色に大満足な1日でした
自分達だけでは、絶対に1日でこれだけの体験は出来ないと思います
お世話になり有難うございました

To be honest, I watched the show without much expectation, but it was a very packed show with hula, pop, and fire performances, and I really enjoyed it.

正直、あまり期待せず観覧したショーでしたが、フラからPOP、ファイヤーショーまで、とても盛り沢山なショーで楽しめました

If you're going to Waikiki, I highly recommend this show, so I made a reservation before my trip. The quality of the dancers was high, and the story about the lei and the engaging service made for a very enjoyable time while feeling the breeze of Waikiki. It was a bit disappointing that the dining area was a bit far away, but there was a wide variety of delicious food to enjoy.

ワイキキに行くのなら是非このショーをと紹介されて、出発前に予約しました。
ダンサーのクオリティが高く、レイについてのストーリーと観客を盛り上げるサービス、ワイキキの風を感じながらとても楽しく良い時間を過ごせました。
食事を取りに行く場所が離れていたのが少し残念でしたが、料理の種類も多く美味しく頂きました。

Food 4/10
Show 10/10

Food can be better. Show is great and you should add the pictures at discounted as part of the deal.

First time in Hawaii for our family. We all enjoyed it, great dancing and music. Lots of energy and laughs from the host.

We thoroughly enjoyed the shows featuring Hawaiian dance, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and more, and my two granddaughters were extremely satisfied! The reason is that Elvis appears in the animated movie "Lilo & Stitch," which is currently very popular among little kids, and there are many of his songs featured in the film. So, my granddaughters, aged 6 and 3, were overjoyed to see someone who looked just like Elvis right in front of them. Of course, the hula dance was also wonderful! This event was great! Thank you very much.

ハワイアンダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン等々のショーを堪能して、孫娘2人は、大満足でした！
　その理由は、今、ちびっ子の間で、大人気のリロ&ステッチのアニメ映画の中に、プレスリーが出ているし、プレスリーの歌う曲が映画の中にいっぱいでているんです。だから、6才と3才の孫たちは、そのプレスリーのそっくりさんが目の前に出てきて、大喜びでした。
勿論、フラダンスも素晴らしかったですよ！本企画、良かったです！ありがとうございました。

The voucher issued states that the check-in location is "Hilton Hawaiian Village - Mid-Pacific Conference Center Rooftop." I heard that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I planned to arrive early and wait on the rooftop for a good seat. However, even after the scheduled time, no reception staff or anyone else showed up, and the local contact number was unreachable as the business hours had ended. In the end, I just had to go down to the venue and check in directly after the scheduled time. Unfortunately, I ended up at the back of the line and couldn't get a good seat, which was very disappointing. The luau show itself was good.

発行されたバウチャーには、チェックイン場所が「ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ - ミッドパシフィック・コンファレンス・センター屋上」となっています。
席は先着順と聞いたため、良い席を取りたいと考え予定の時間より早く屋上に集合して待っていましたが、予定時間を過ぎても受付スタッフも誰も現れず、現地連絡先の電話番号も営業時間が終了しておりつながらず。結局時間を過ぎて会場まで下りて行って直接受付すればよいだけでした。おかげで列の最後の並んでよい席は取れず、大変残念でした。
ルアウショー自体はよかったです。

We enjoy the show lovely performance. Beautiful people and lovely music.

On July 19th, during our trip to Hawaii, my family and I (a party of 12) attended the Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip.

From the start, the event felt more like a tourist trap than a cultural celebration. The performers wore plastic grass skirts and danced on astroturf, which cheapened the experience and made it feel like a stylized imitation rather than a tribute to Hawaiian tradition.

The buffet was just as underwhelming. The meats were dry and chewy, and several of us left our meals half-eaten. We all ended up searching for food elsewhere after the show.

When purchasing tickets, we noted that they included premier seating for the show—something we specifically chose so the younger members of our group could engage and see the performance clearly. However, we were seated near the back with no explanation. The seating appeared entirely random, and there was no effort to honor the premier designation.

The show itself was bizarre. It was supposedly a journey through Hawaiian music and culture, but the execution was confusing. While we expected an Elvis tribute, it felt like a full concert with song after song. Then came a Michael Jackson impersonator performing Thriller and several other full-length songs. We learned during the show that he once performed at Aloha Stadium, but the connection felt forced and irrelevant. A few of us dozed off, while others sat in disbelief trying to make sense of it.

The performance dragged on far too long. With a tighter runtime and focus on authentic Hawaiian culture, it could have been enjoyable. The fire dancer was the highlight, but came too late to redeem the evening.

Overall, this luau was inauthentic, overpriced, and not worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

It was a day of sightseeing, but it really flew by. The freshly fried masala was incredibly delicious! The garlic shrimp was also tasty, and I was moved to see the sea turtles! Above all, the guide was very kind and funny, and I'm glad I participated.

1日の観光でしたが、本当にあっという間に終わりました。揚げたてのマサラダはめちゃくちゃ美味しい！ガーリックシュリンプも美味しくて、ウミガメも見れて感動でした！
なんと言ってもガイドさんがとっても優しく、面白くて、参加して良かったです。

The restaurant is on the second floor, and the seating has a terrace-like openness, plus all the dishes were delicious. The staff greeted us with smiles, which felt great. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, making the payment process smooth.

お店は2階で、席はテラスの様な開放感があり、さらにお料理はどれも美味しくて良かったです。
スタッフは、笑顔で接してくれ気持ち良かったです。日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、お会計もスムーズに済ませる事ができました。

They put a lei around my neck and took photos for me! After a delicious meal, the hula show started, and I really felt like I was in Hawaii. I was taught a simple hula dance and was able to participate as well. It became a wonderful memory.

レイを首にかけてくれて、写真も撮ってくれました！！
美味しい食事の後、フラショーが始まり「ああ、ハワイに来たんだな～」と実感しました。
簡単なフラダンスを教えていただき参加もさせて頂きました。
とても良い思い出になりました。

Starting with Hawaiian music and dance from the 1920s, and moving through the historic concerts in Hawaii featuring Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s, you can enjoy a performance filled with song and dance. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in promotional photos, as they are likely double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.

1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。

Picked up on time, arrived at Diamond Head with plenty of time to take pictures etc. Family friendly tour, the malasadas were so yummy! Great views, no rush to finish the hike.

The sunrise at the summit was breathtaking, the hike up is a bit hard as it is dark out, but the views from the top make every step worth it!

I had experienced Rock Aloha once before the pandemic, but I wanted to experience it again, so I participated. Even the second time, I had a great time. Both Elvis and Michael Jackson were a lot of fun, and the Hawaiian atmosphere was really nice. I plan to come back to see it again.

ロックアフラは、コロナ前に一度体験済みでしたが、今一度体感したく、参加しました。二度目でも、大変楽しく参加出来ました。プレスリーもマイケルジャクソンもとても楽しかったし、ハワイアンの雰囲気もとても良かったです。また見に来ようと思っております。

The guide was a Japanese person who only talked about their favorite topics like politics, religion, and architecture, and it felt like they wanted to end the tour quickly. We arrived back at the hotel at 4:30 PM, earlier than scheduled. Since we paid to see this, I wished they would have increased our stay time and stuck to the original schedule. I also asked to see the balance rock shown in the posted photos, but my request was declined due to complaints from the neighbors. The poor service made me feel hesitant about giving a tip.

案内人は政治や宗教、建築などの自分の好きな話ばかりする日本人で、早く帰路につきたい気持ちが伝わってきました。帰りは予定より早い16時半にホテル到着。
お金を払って観に来ているのだから、滞在時間を増やすなど、定刻どおりのスケジュールにして欲しかったのと、投稿写真にあるバランスロックを見たいと相談したが、近隣からの苦情を理由に案内を断られました。サービス悪いのでチップ払うのも微妙な気持ちになりました。

Not suitable for families with children. That's why I give it ⭐️3. It might be good for those who like Elvis and Michael Jackson. I don't think the show would fit well for families with kids or for younger people who aren't familiar with those two. Given the timing, the kids were asleep the whole time. The live music and singing were very good.

子連れには向かない。という事での⭐️3です。
エルビス、マイケルジャクソンがお好きな方には良いかも。子連れや上記の2人をあまり知らない若い方にはあまりフィットしないと思われるショーでした。時間帯的にも子供は終始爆睡でした。生音と生歌なのはとても良かったです。

We were the last table to get the food, while many trays already empty and no deserts. When we wanted to have more food in second round, all trays were removed. We pay the same amount of money but we didn’t receive the equal service. Such a bad experience.

The show has a storyline and is very impressive. It is available in English. Even if you’re not a VIP, you can get good seats if you line up early! The food is a buffet, and you can eat a lot. Having meals included is a plus. This show is a must-see!!

showがストーリーになっていてとても見応えたっぷりです。英語対応です。VIPでなくても早めに並べば良い席をゲットできるのでは！？食事もバイキングで沢山食べれます。お食事付きが◎。このshowは必見！！

It's a calm and relaxing restaurant. It's a French restaurant that uses locally sourced ingredients from Hawaii, and both the presentation and taste were enjoyable. Additionally, it's a restaurant where you can feel comfortable dining alone. The staff were friendly and approachable.

落ち着いた雰囲気のレストランです。ハワイの地産の物を使ったフレンチレストランですが、盛り付けも繊細で味も見た目も楽しめました。
また、一人でも安心して楽しめるレストラです。スタッフの方々が気さくに声をかけてくださいました。

We come back often from California and always have a luau at the Hilton . It’s fun, great story telling. Great performances and food! Highly recommend

We enjoyed the dinner and of course the main Show ..we definitely will come back again.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. I would look down from our room and see the small area the luau was being performed in. I was skeptical because any luaus we had previously been to were done in large areas. We were all pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the staff were! The show itself was very well done and the acts were both beautiful and memorable. The setting was small and intimate. There were 9 of us total and we were all very pleased! Music and singing were great!

We really enjoyed the setup and the music after was great.

Since I am learning hula dancing, watching an authentic hula show was very informative and I had a wonderful time. It was a highly satisfying event.

フラダンスを習っているので、本場のフラのショーを観てとても参考にもなりましたし、
楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました
大満足のイベントでした

It must be tough for the guide to manage both English and Japanese, but it's tiring for us listening as well. I had a similar tour before, but there were about 10 people, so we could take our time. I wanted to see the surfers riding the waves at the North Shore. I think it's strange to expect tips. It's quite an expensive tour... I've participated in various tours before, but this one was quite disappointing.

英語と日本語のガイドでガイドさんも大変だろうけれど、聞いている私達も疲れる。
以前ほぼ同じようなツアーだったけど10人位でゆっくりとできた。
ノースショアではサーフィンの波乗りしている人達が見たかった。
チップもいる？のはおかしいと思う。
結構高額ツアーなのに・・・
今までいろいろ参加してきたけれど、だいぶ残念なツアーでした。

What a fantastic Luau! The emcee had the audience participating, laughing & entertained. The dancers and the music was outstanding! Food and drinks were simply yummy!
