From before we stepped into the venue, we were pleased! We had a scheduling snafu (our own fault), and was so pleased with how the manager, Joyce, handled it! (Thanks again Joyce, for your help!) Then, we were off to the luau. Things were seamless; we were greeted with smiling faces throughout the night. After being given our Mai Tai, we were seated and ate the great typical luau foods. After eating salad, beef, pork, potatoes, mac salad, desserts, etc., with some entertainment sprinkled in, we headed to the outstanding show.
The show was spectacular! Great music and dance from the 1920's to the present. It was great to see that some of the hard-working servers at the meal then went onstage as hula dancers and singers! The Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators were fabulous! They had the voices, movements and showmanship down pat! It ended with a fire show.
At the end, they announced that we could get photos taken with the Michael and Elvis. I thought there would be someone there taking photos (and about $20), but was pleasantly surprised that we could just walk up to the stars and take pictures on our phones for free!
I wouldn't hesitate to go again, and recommend it to anyone! Time in Waikiki is valuable; this is a great way to spend a whole evening!

We chose this buffet show because we had a coupon for a second person free. Although the limited seating on the second floor was a concern, it turned out that we were seated in the front row of the first floor A section, which was much closer than we had imagined, and it felt like a great deal! The fire show was performed by a child who looked to be in upper elementary school or around the first year of middle school, and we were pleasantly surprised and impressed during the photo session after the show. Additionally, the other shows, dances, and impersonations were well done, and the foreign guests sitting behind us were really excited during the "Thriller" performance! The atmosphere of the venue likely contributed to our enjoyable experience. If you sit in the back row of the section reserved for handshakes with the impersonators, it feels like a great deal. The food, especially the bread and desserts, was delicious and suited our tastes overall. For those celebrating their birthday, there was a ukulele performance of a celebratory song, and we enjoyed singing and dancing throughout the meal. While the show alone would have been great, it was also nice to observe the cultural differences in how to take and leave food in a buffet style!
2人目無料クーポンがあった為、2階席限定がネックだったが、このビュッフェ付きショーを選択。結果、私達のイメージする はるか遠い2階席ではなく、小さい会場の1階A席前列のイメージで、思ったより間近に感じ、お得感があった❣️ファイアーショーは、小学高学年❓中1❓位の子が演じており、ショウ終了後の写真撮影の時、あっと驚き感心しきりだった。また、他のショーや踊り、歌真似も上手く、私達の後部席の外人さん達がスリラーで大盛り上がり❗️会場毎の雰囲気にもよるだろうが、楽しく過ごせた❗️ソックリさんが握手する為に空けてある列の後部席に座ればお得感満載 食事は特にパン、デザートが美味しく全体的に口に合ってると思う。誕生日の方にはウクレレでお祝いの歌を、その他食事中も歌や踊りで楽しめた。ショーだけでも良いが、ビュッフェスタイルの食事の取り方、残し方の文化の相違を観察出来た事も良かった❗️

The dinner and show were a great way to spend time in Hawaii, and I would do this one again! The food was tasty, plentiful, and offered more of a variety of choices than some of the other luaus I’ve attended on the island. Be sure to come hungry! I was thrilled that I could enjoy a welcome mai tai since they had a nonalcoholic option. I thought I was going to have to miss out, but they had me covered, and it didn’t taste like it was only pineapple juice. After the delicious dinner and fun fellowship with other guests, it was time for the show. The transition from the dining area to the show venue was smooth. The staff was so helpful. Shout out to Sheena!
Some of the performers in the show had also attended to us at the luau. It was awesome to see them in their element on stage. They were professional in both settings, and so talented on stage. I felt like I was watching friends perform. I knew the show was about Hawaii over time, but I was pleasantly surprised when “Elvis” came on stage and you also had to bolt me to my seat when “Michael Jackson” appeared. Both performers were believable! The fire dancer was lit! (Pun intended) and the energetic dancers and singers were top notch. Be sure to come with a camera to take lots of pictures with the flash off, of course! You will not be disappointed!

Elvis and Michael may still be famous in America, but in Japan, they might be considered nostalgic. Even as someone over sixty who loves Western music, I don't really know what Elvis sounds like when he's singing live, so I thought it might be a bit much for younger people. I believe that traditional hula dancing is more representative of Hawaii.
Even though I was in the front row, only a few people in the middle got to shake hands with the singer playing Elvis. When we were leaving, he quickly avoided us when we got close. Why is that?
プレスリーもマイケルも、アメリカではまだ有名なのかもしれないけど、日本だともう懐メロの範疇かな。洋楽大好きな還暦過ぎの私でも、プレスリーなどリアルに歌っているのを知らないので、若い人にはちょっと無理かなと思いました。伝統的なフラダンスだけの方がハワイらしくて良いと思いました。
最前列なのに、プレスリー役の歌手には真ん中の数人のみ握手してもらえず。帰りのお見送りでも、近づくとさっと逃げられました。どうして?

The rock and hula show was amazing!
It was a very good performance!
It took a while to eat because we had to share a table with a large group.
No one was wearing masks. In fact, hardly anyone wears masks in Hawaii.
Since people are sitting very close together, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are concerned about infections.
It seems that there are not many people who are worried about it in Hawaii.
The food was just okay. The meat was very delicious.
A plan that includes just the hula show might be a good option.
ロック ア フラショーは最高でした!
とてもよいパフォーマンスでした!
食事は大人数の相席でご飯を食べに行くまで時間がかかりました。
マスクをしている人はいません。そもそもハワイでマスクをしてる人はほぼいません。
隣の人と距離がとても近いので感染不安などある方はおすすめできません。
ハワイなので気にしている人は少なさそうです。
食事の内容はまぁまぁという感じです。お肉はとても美味しかったです。
フラショーだけのプランでもよいかもしれません。

This is a tour that efficiently covers the East to the North. The price includes lunch and snacks, making it a great value! I chose this tour based on the price, so I thought it was fine that it was in English, but the guide was very proficient in Japanese and explained the important parts in Japanese. There were many aspects that I wouldn't have understood with just English, so I was very grateful for that. There was a family among the participants who mentioned it was their third time. It's easy to see why, as it was a rich and fulfilling tour, and I highly recommend it!
東〜北を効率よく巡れるツアーです。ランチやおやつも込みの料金なのでコスパ◎です!料金で選んだので英語ツアーでも仕方ないと思っていましたが、ガイドさんは日本語がとても上手で重要なところは日本語で解説してくれました。英語だけでは理解出来なかった部分も多かったのでとてもありがたかったです。参加者の中に3回目だという家族がいました。それも頷けるほど中身の濃いツアーだし、おすすめです!

I made a VIP reservation and was told I would have the front row seats, but from the photos, it looked like a table seat, and in reality, there were no table seats, just regular seats. If there are changes, I think it should be clearly stated. Moreover, the price difference between VIP and regular reservations is significant, yet the regular seats are just one row behind the VIP ones.
It's really unfair to book based on the photos.
VIPで予約し、一番前の席とのことだったが、写真で見た限り、テーブル席なのに実際はテーブル席などなく、普通の席だった。変更があるならそう書くべきだと思う。しかも、vipと普通の予約で値段が大きく違うのに普通でも席はvipの一つ後ろなだけ。
こちらは写真を見て予約するのに酷すぎる

Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.
And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.
I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.
If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.
Overall, great cruise! So much fun!

The food was not great. The meat was tough, and the seats were cramped. I had trouble communicating with the staff in Japanese, but a person at a nearby table helped me.

I had an AMAZING time on this island food tour! I’m so glad I chose this tour since we had a small group of 5 and had a blast. Jackson was a GREAT tour guide-very funny, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He told us lots of stories about the stops we visited, local background information, and gave good restaurant recommendations. Best stops were the macadamia nut farm and Fumi’s shrimp truck. I only wish we had made extra stops for musubi, poke, or Ted’s Bakery but overall I enjoyed myself and I wasn’t too full. I recommend this tour if you're looking to visit the North Shore and sample yummy food along the way. Thank you Jackson for a WONDERFUL day trip :)

I reserved a front-row seat. The host only spoke in English, so I couldn't understand anything they were saying... but I knew this in advance and could get the vibe, so I accepted that. The problem was the food.
After the drinks were served, the appetizer? It was served in a bento box-like container, and it was bad. Then we were served a plate with a mix of chicken, beef, and pork. Not many people around me finished their meals. We paid nearly 100,000 yen for this meal. What a letdown. The show itself was only good during the last 15 minutes. I was glued to the fire dance, but before that, it was a bit dull.
I booked this hoping my kids, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, would feel the essence of Hawaii, but I'm not sure if it was worth the hefty price.
前列席確約を予約。司会は英語オンリーだったから全く何を話してるか分からない…でもこれは前もって知っていたし雰囲気で分かるから良しとしても…問題は食事。
ドリンクがでたあと前菜?弁当箱みたいなので提供されますが、これが不味い。そのあとに提供されるのが鶏肉&牛肉&豚肉?の3種盛みたいなプレート。回りの人も完食してる人はあまりいなかった。3人で10万近く支払ってこの食事かぁ。がっくり。ショー自体は最後の15分間だけ良かった。ファイヤーダンスは釘付けで見てましたが、それまでは少々眠たくなるくらい。
ハワイ旅行がはじめての子供達にハワイを感じてほしくて予約したけど大金はらってまで行く価値があるかは微妙。

I only attended the show without dinner. The staff were all wearing masks, but most of the guests were not, so I made sure to wear my mask and used hand sanitizer before and after the show to minimize risk. I also prepared extra masks just in case, as I was a bit concerned about droplets from the outside.
As a note, as of August 2022, a negative PCR test certificate is required for entry into Japan, so I acted a bit cautiously, but I think it's definitely possible to enjoy the experience if you take the necessary precautions. Of course, I was able to return home safely with a negative test result.
ディナーなしのショーのみに参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんはマスクをしていますが、鑑賞しているお客さんはほとんでどマスクしていないので、リスク回避のためにしっかりマスクして、携帯用の消毒薬でショーの前後で消毒するなどの対策をして楽しみました。マスクも一応外側の飛沫が気になるくらいではあるので、替えを用意しています。
前提として、22年8月時点で日本入国にはPCR陰性証明が必要になるなど、すこし注意深く行動しましたが、対策をとっていれば十分楽しめると思います。
勿論、検査結果陰性で無事帰国できています。

I had been curious about the Royal Hawaiian dinner show for a while✨ I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but everything exceeded my imagination and was incredibly delicious! The drinks included one complimentary drink in addition to the service, and there were non-alcoholic cocktails available, which were plentiful and tasted amazing✨ The showtime featured a lovely and talented female singer who was absolutely wonderful✨ I had been intrigued by the "Rock-a-Hula Show" from the photos, and when it started, I thought, "Ah! So that's what it is!" and it all made sense✨ Both Elvis and Michael were great at singing and dancing, and I was surprised at how well it matched with the Hawaiian theme! But the absolute highlight was the fire show✨ The performance was fantastic, and the performer looked just like my husband, which had us all laughing out loud! Personally, they were my number one look-alike! It was also a nice touch that we could take a commemorative photo together at the end, which felt very American! I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends who are going to Hawaii✨
以前から気になっていたロイヤルハワイアンのディナーショー✨
ディナーはそこまで期待してませんでしたが、想像を越えてどれもこれもとっても美味しかったです!
ドリンクもサービス以外にワンドリンク付いていて、ノンアルコールカクテルもあり、量も多く味も凄く美味しかったです✨
ショータイムは、シンガーの女性が可愛くて上手でとっても素敵でした✨
「ロックアフラショー」のロックが、写真を観てても気になってましたが、始まってみて「あっ!そういうことか!」と納得✨
エルビスもマイケルも歌も踊りも上手で凄かったし、ハワイアンとマッチしてるのが驚きでした!
でも、1番最高だったのはファイヤーショー✨
演技が素晴らしいのは勿論ですが、この方が私の主人にそっくり瓜二つで大爆笑でした〜笑
個人的にNo.1のそっくりさんでした笑笑
最後に一緒に記念撮影が出来るのもアメリカらしくて良いサービスですね!
ハワイに行く友人達に是非勧めたいツアーです✨
