All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

It was great to see traditional Hawaiian dance easily near Honolulu. It was more impressive than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied.

ホノルルの近くでお手軽にハワイの伝統的な踊りがみれて大変良かったです。想像していたより見ごたえがあり満足しました。

I found out that a new show started in Waikiki, and I thought, "This is it!" so I decided to participate! The content exceeded my expectations!! I had a great time.

While it incorporates elements of Hawaii, the main focus is on dances other than hula, which is refreshing ✨ I think this American and exciting show would be great for those who are repeat visitors to Hawaii.

In this show, Elvis, Michael, Elton, and Lady Gaga made appearances. Each of them was a wonderful performer, and while watching the images projected on the big screen, I forgot they were impersonators and got completely absorbed in the performance♪ Michael's dance was fantastic! The costumes looked just like the real thing!

Since I’m in my twenties, I wasn’t very familiar with Elvis and Elton, but there were songs I recognized from dramas, so it didn’t matter, and I enjoyed it anyway!

The tropical drinks and cocktails named after the stars were also fun. I chose the Lady Gaga drink~♪

After the show, we took photos together as a memento. Everyone was very friendly and happily posed for pictures and signed autographs. I want to see it again!!!!

ワイキキで新しいショーが始まったと知り、これは！と思い参加してきました！
内容は期待以上！！とっても楽しむことができました。

ハワイの要素も盛り込んであるのですが、フラダンス以外のダンスがメインで新鮮✩
ハワイリピーターの方にはこんなアメリカンでエキサイティングなショーもいいと思います。

今回のショーではエルビス、マイケル、エルトン、レディーガガが登場しました。
どの方もすばらしいパフォーマーで大きなスクリーンに映し出される映像を見ていたら
彼らがそっくりさんだなんて忘れて聞き入っていました♪
マイケルのダンスがよかったです！衣装も本物そっくり！

２０代のため(～)エルビス、エルトンにはあまり親しみがなかったのですが、
ドラマで聞いたことある曲もあったりして、そんなことは関係なく楽しめましたよ！

トロピカルドリンクや、スターの名前にちなんだカクテルなども楽しい。
私はレディーガガのドリンクを選びました~♪

ショーのあとはみんなと写真撮影で記念にもなりました。
みなさんとてもフレンドリーで心よく写真撮影、サインに応じてくれます。
また見にいきたいです！！！！！

We participated for Green room and got front row seats.
The “stars” came off the stage and sang to me and shook my hand.
“Elvis” comes so close that you can lightly smell his perfume.

When they first come to the stage, you may think they are kind of chubby, but once they start to sing and dance, you will be amazed. It’s unbelievable that they are not lip singing.

The stage equipment and audio system is great. During the performance, there is a video on the screen that shows the real star singing. The “star” on stage and the star on the screen come in sync and you start to believe that the “star” on the stage is real.

Even though you don’t know the star, they will sing many popular songs old or new, so any generation can enjoy the performance.

After the show the stars will be at the lobby, and they will give you autograph and take a picture with you.
In my mind I believe that “Michael Jackson” was real to me so I got excited and screamed.

Once in a while I heard they

Since I participated in the green room, my seat was right in front of the stage. The stars came down from the stage to sing right in front of me and even shook hands. They came so close that I could faintly smell Elvis's cologne!

Even if I thought, "Wait? A bit chubby?" when they appeared, their singing, dancing, and even their talk and gestures were so realistic that I was completely drawn in. It's amazing that there was no lip-syncing!

The stage setup was quite elaborate, synchronizing with real footage, and combined with their singing skills, I gradually started to feel like I was watching the real thing.

Even for generations that don't know the originals, there are standard songs woven in, so I think everyone can enjoy it with a sense of recognition like, "Oh, I know this song!"

After the show, the stars casually responded to requests for autographs and photos at the exit. Since I was already feeling like I was with the real ones, when I took a photo with Michael, I couldn't help but let out a squeal of excitement!

It seems like there is a variety of cast members, so I definitely want to go again.

グリーンルームで参加したので席はステージまん前でした。スターたちがステージから降りてきて目の前で歌ってくれたり握手してくれます。エルビスの香水がほんのり香るほど、身近に来てくれます！

登場したときに「えっ？ぽっちゃり？」とか思っても、歌のうまさ、踊りのうまさ、トークやしぐさまで本物そっくりで、ぐんぐん惹きこまれます。口パクはいないというのがすごい！

ステージの装置もかなり凝っていて、本物の映像とシンクロしてきて、歌のうまさとの相乗効果で、次第に本物と錯覚してきました。

本物を知らない世代でもスタンダードな曲が織り込まれてるので「あ、この歌知ってる！」とどの世代にも楽しめると思います。

ショーの後、出口でスターたちが気軽にサインや写真撮影に応じてくれます。すでに見てるほうも本物と錯覚してるので、マイケルと写真を撮るときには「キャー」と黄色い声を上げてしまいました！

出演するキャストにバラエティがあるようなので、是非また行きたいです。

Hawaiian traditional feast "LUAU."
This time, I participated on New Year's Eve.
The luau here is very accessible since it's located in Waikiki, so you can feel safe even without transportation.

Additionally, from the lagoon venue, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Last time, I attended another luau held in a location farther from Waikiki, but unlike that one, there were no attractions we could participate in (like lei making or games), and the setup was more about enjoying a buffet-style meal while watching the show.

In terms of experiencing a luau for the first time, I think this is a luau that you can enjoy easily with its accessibility and food.

I definitely recommend this activity for anyone visiting Hawaii!

ハワイ伝統の宴「LUAU」。
今回は大晦日の夜に参加しました。
ここのルアウは、ロケーションもワイキキ内なため、とても行きやすく送迎がなくても安心です。

また、会場であるラグーンからは、ちょうどサンセットが綺麗に見えます☆

前回はワイキキから離れた場所で開催されている、他のルアウに参加したのですが、そちらのように自分たちが参加できるアトラクション(レイメイキングやゲーム等)はなく、ショーを観ながらビュッフェスタイルの食事を楽しむ構成になっていました。

初めてのルアウを体験するという意味では、アクセスのし易さや食事等、気軽に楽しめるルアウだと思います。

是非ハワイを訪れた人には体験してもらいたいアクティビティです♪

Sunset and fireworks viewing! Friday only dinner cruise.

It's just the best.

The staff is friendly, and you can enjoy wine while watching the sunset, and at the end, there are fireworks!!

I especially recommend it for couples.

サンセットと花火を観賞！金曜日限定ディナークルーズ
とにかく最高です。

スタッフの方も気さくだし、夕日を見ながらワインを飲んで
最後には花火！！

特にカップルにお勧めですよ

I watched the show from the Premium Circle on New Year's Eve. The show was packed with content and very enjoyable. I think it was also great in terms of experiencing the local culture.

大晦日のプレミアムサークルでショー観覧しました。ショーは内容盛りだくさんでとても楽しかったです。現地の文化に触れるという意味でもとてもよかったと思います。

I was really happy that everyone received a lei when we signed up for the premium seats.

The show featured powerful fire dancing by male dancers, and since we were in the front row, we could feel the heat from the flames.

It's enjoyable for everyone, from small children to grandparents!

Before the show started, the dancers even drew pictures with magic markers for the children who wanted to imitate their tattoos.

プレミアムシートで申し込みすると、全員にレイをかけてくれてとっても嬉しかったです。

ショーは男性のダンサーのファイヤーダンスが迫力満点で、前席だったので火の熱さが伝わってきました。

小さい子供からおじいちゃん・あばあちゃんまで楽しめましすよ！

ショーが始まる前に希望者の子供にはダンサーの方が直接、タトゥーを真似てマジックで好きな絵も描いてくれました。

The Hilton Hotel is very spacious, and I got quite lost trying to find the meeting place. I wish they had provided a clearer map or something similar.

The show itself was enjoyable, and the food was delicious. I chose the Golden Circle seats, and they guided us from those seats to the buffet, so I’m glad I opted for this seating. The people in other sections had to wait in long lines.

ヒルトンホテル内がとても広くて、集合場所が分からずかなり迷いました。もうすこし分かりやすく地図なども入れてくれればいいなと思いました。
ショー自体は楽しく、食事もおいしかったです。ゴールデンサークル席にしたのですが、ビュッフェ形式でこのゴールデンサークル席から案内してくれるのでこの席にしてよかったです。他の席の人たちはかなり並んでいました。

There were several similar shows, and I was a bit confused, but since it was in Waikiki, I chose this one! There were more participants than I expected, and it was a bit chilly since it was outdoors, but I really felt like I was in Hawaii!! I had a great time! I think it's worth seeing at least once! The hotel also had many shops, and I enjoyed shopping on the way back♪

同じようなショーがいくつかあって迷いましたが、ワイキキということで、このショーにしました！　思っていたよりも参加人数が多く、屋外の為少し寒い思いもしましたが、ハワイに来た！！という感じがして楽しい時間を過ごしました！１度は見ておいて損はないと思います！ホテルにはお店も沢山あり、帰りにはお買い物も楽しみました♪

The facilities and content were both great!

設備、内容ともに良かったです！

A must-see for Elvis fans! Even those from generations who don't know him can enjoy it to some extent (laughs). Unlike Japanese impersonations, it's incredibly authentic. The lookalikes of Michael and Gaga were also quite well-crafted.

エルビスファンなら必見！知らない世代の方もそれなりに楽しめます（笑）日本のモノマネと違って限りなく本物志向ですね。マイケルやガガなどのソックリさんもかなり作り込んでいました。

The duration was three hours, but it wasn't just continuous dancing; there were audience interactions and various shows, making the time fly by. It was a lot of fun. I thought it might be a bit of a luxury, but it created wonderful memories for my mother and me on our trip. Thank you very much.

所要時間が3時間だったのですが、ただダンスが続くだけでなく、観客を巻き込んだり、色々なショーが観れてあっという間の時間でした。とても楽しかったです。ちょっと贅沢かなと思ったのですが、母娘旅に良い思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

This was a show that truly felt like Hawaii. The scale has shrunk quite a bit since I first saw it several decades ago, but it was a good show. The fire dance, in particular, was impressive. The food was buffet style; it wasn't bad, but it was just okay. I recommend it for those visiting Hawaii for the first time.

これぞハワイと言う感じのショーでした。
数十年前に始めてみた時からは大分規模はシュリンクしていましたが、良いショーでした。
特に火の踊りは圧巻でした。
料理は、ビュッフェスタイルで、まずくはありませんが、まずまずというところでした。
ハワイへ初めて行く人にはお勧めです。

I always had experiences that I couldn't enjoy from the land or the hotel garden. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, and the romantic presentation from the sea.

いつも陸やホテルの庭からでは味わえない体験をしました。
ハワイといえば海、その海からのロマンある演出、

We shared a table with several foreign couples. We enjoyed watching the show while having fun conversations. When they asked if we were on our honeymoon, we were cheered on by those around us and ended up going on stage to dance. It became a wonderful memory.

外国人カップル数組とテーブルが一緒でした。
楽しく会話しながらショーを拝見しました。
ハネムーンの方？と言われたので周りから囃し立てられ登壇してダンスをしました。　良い思い出になりました。

I wasn't expecting much from the hula and fire dance in Hawaii, but it was really great. I didn't understand much English, but I had a lot of fun. Before the show started, there were some fun booths where you could choose your favorite designs for temporary tattoos on your arms and legs... (it was free). The food was served buffet-style, and I could take as much as I wanted. However, once the show started, I got so focused on watching that I forgot to eat with my chopsticks (or fork). I sat next to an American named Porter, and even though we couldn't understand each other, we connected and exchanged emails. After returning home, I sent him the photos via email.

Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the free seating. I'm thinking of coming back here next year if I have dinner elsewhere in the evening.

ハワイのフラやファイヤーダンスだろうってそんなに期待していなかったけどとても良かった。
英語はよくわかりませんでしたが楽しめましたよ。
ショーが始まるまではちょっとした遊びのブース見たいのがあって足や腕にタトゥーを好きな絵柄を選んで書いてくれたり.....（無料でした）
料理もビュフェ形式で好きなものを沢山取れます。でもショーが始まると見ることに集中して箸（フォーク）が止まって食べるのを忘れてた。
隣に座っていたアメリカ人のポータさんとは言葉は理解できないけど、打ち解けメール交換しましたよ。帰国して写真をメール送信しました。
席も早めに並んで行ったので自由席でも十分楽しめました。

来年も夜は他でディナーするならまたここで楽しみたいと考えています。

Since the stage is set up on the rooftop, it's difficult to see the show because of people's heads. If the seating were tiered like at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it would be possible to see the entire show from the back, even if it's far away.

The "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is very convenient for those staying at the Hilton, as it's located within the village. It's also convenient to be able to watch the show while having a meal.

The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.

It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.

While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.

However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...

とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。

日本人以外の方が多く（日本人：日本人以外＝１：４ぐらい）、交流ができてよかったです。（ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑）
クルーの方もみなさん親切でよくしていただきました。

大きな船でのディナークルーズもいいですが、少人数でゆったりとなごやかなクルーズもよいと思います。

ただ食事（肉系が・・・）がすぐになくなってしまい思う存分は食べられませんでした・・・。

It was a wonderful show with singing and dancing. The two drinks included were just right. The meal was also delicious.

歌にダンスにとても素晴らしいショーでした。
ドリンク２杯が付いてるのも丁度良かったです。
お食事も美味しくいただきました。

I couldn't speak English, which made it half as enjoyable... I wished I could speak English. I was satisfied with both the show and the meal.

英語ができず、楽しかったが楽しさ半分に…。英語ができればと思いました。
ショー、食事ともに満足できました。

This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.

I picked this cruise because I wanted to get out and do something for the Fourth of July, but I didn't want the hassle of dealing with huge crowds of people, fighting traffic, and being around a bunch of screaming teenagers running around.

This was the perfect choice for me. I am a big guy, so I like to eat...buffet style all the way, and I am a happy man. So the food was good. Drinks were available at reasonable prices, and the best part was nobody seemed to be there to get drunk, but just enjoyed some drinks and the night. The fireworks were the best ending to a good night. I made a great choice, obviously.

I took my sister on this sail last night..and this is by far the best sail (tour wise) this island has to offer. Tropical winds, beautiful deep blue ocean and amazing hawaiian coastal scenery.

Crew on-board both the Spirit of Aloha and Honi Olani are superb and exceed your service expectations. Fortunately, for the adult beverage people, this became an Open bar sail (Beer is usually $1 and mixed drinks are $2) but this is because the boat departed late.

No one comes on-board to get drunk or rowdy..we were all in silent agreement to enjoy our drinks, enjoy our scrumptious dinner and have a wonderful time.. everyone on-board did just that.

Everyone who boarded the vessel were strangers, but we all became friends by the end of the night. Thank You Hawai' Nautical for a wonderful evening of good food, drinks, friendly conversations and laughter.

This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!

Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.

Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

It was my honeymoon! I was torn between this and a three-star option, but I definitely think this one is better. There are crew members who are second-generation Japanese, so language is not a problem at all, which is reassuring. The ship is smaller than I expected (it has sails) and feels like a luxurious cruise.

The food is a buffet. You can take whatever you like whenever you want, but there are no refills, so if you don't eat the good stuff early on, it will be gone (laughs). However, overall, the flavors are delicious even for Japanese people, and I enjoyed a lot of it! (Desserts are served later too☆)

The sunset is truly beautiful! There’s nothing obstructing the fireworks, so it’s really nice.

On the last day of my honeymoon, I made some wonderful memories!

ハネムーンでした！
スリースターと迷ったんですが、断然こっちのほうがいいとおもいます♪日系二世のクルーがいるので、言葉も全く問題なく安心です。思ったよりはだいぶ小さい船(帆が付いています)でお金持ちのクルージングって感じ。
料理はビュッフェ？です。好きな時に好きなモノを取って食べる感じですが、追加はないので、最初の方に食べないと美味しいモノはなくなります(笑)でも、全体的に日本人にも美味しい味付けで沢山いただきました♪(後でデザートも出てきます☆)
夕日はほんとに綺麗です！花火も遮るものが何もないのでとてもいいです☆
ハネムーンの最終日、
とってもステキな思い出ができました♪

All in all, was a good experience. The entertainment was excellent. Much less people than at the Polynesian Cultural Center lu'au which was very nice. The only problem was the server who was extremely rude and sarcastic and made a part of the night very unpleasant.

The sunset viewed from the sea is exceptional. There is an emotion that only those who have experienced it can understand. On top of that, there are fireworks. You can enjoy a classic Hawaiian experience that makes you feel luxurious.

海から眺めるサンセットは格別です。体験した人にしかわからない感動があります。おまけに花火。リッチな気分が味わえるベタなハワイを体験できますよ。

An outstanding way to enjoy the waikiki sunset. Hawaiil activites is da bomb. our friday dinner cruise got cancelled due to weather. after a phone call to hawaii activites, they quickly got us rescheduled for the saturday evening cocktail cruise on the Hilton Aloha catamarran. We practically had this 50 ft sailboat to ourselves. a 1 1/2 hour cruise along the shores of waikiki. a beautiful sunset and saw humpback whales surfacing and "sounding". a fantastic way to spend our last evening in honolulu. The crew was great, attending to our every request. Great drinks and music. If you want a relaxing way to spend the evening and enjoy being out on the water, take this cruise.
