All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

Last year, I participated for the first time, and my entire family was moved, so even though the members were different this year, it was still an emotional experience. Above all, having dinner while watching the sunset and the show afterward gave everyone goosebumps and filled us with satisfaction. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend participating. I'm sure it will be a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

昨年初めて参加させてもらい家族全員が感動したため今年もメンバーは違ったのですがやはり感動でした。何よりもサンセットを観ながらの食事、其のあとのショーは全員が鳥肌ものの感動をもらい満足感でいっぱいでした。
機会があれば、是非参加されることをお勧めします。きっとハワイの思い出には最高だと思います。

Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.

最初に本来なら２日で回るところを１日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸１日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍２８年の日本人の方でとても優しく（言葉もよく通じるので）安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.

This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.

ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました！
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング）と歓迎イベント（レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン）があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

Overall, it was great. I had always wanted to ride on a catamaran since I was interested in its structure, and this cruise, which offered both fireworks and a sunset, seemed perfect, so I decided to go with this one. The food was delicious, and the boat was clean, which was nice. I had a lot of fun. The fireworks in Hawaii were just as splendid as those in Japan. This year, I missed the fireworks festival in Japan, so I was able to make up for it in Hawaii, and on top of that, I had the best experience with a cruise and meals included. I definitely want to participate again next time. I never get tired of it.

とにかくよかったです。カタマラン船の構造に興味があったので、１度は乗ってみようと思っていましたが、特に花火と夕陽をセットで見れるこちらのクルーズがよさそうだったので、こちらに決めました。食事もおいしかったし、船も清潔でよかったです。とても楽しめました。ハワイの花火も日本に負けず劣らず、とても華やかでよかったです。今年は日本の花火大会をのがしてしまったので、ハワイで挽回できて、しかもクルーズ船の上・食事付という、最高の体験ができました。
また次回も是非こちらに参加したいです。何度でも飽きませんね。

It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.

今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした！ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火！船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!

The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!

初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動！
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした！

サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです！

I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.

I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.

We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.

And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.

申し込んで正解、最高でした。

ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。

沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。

そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。

I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.

The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.

The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!

Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.

せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。

海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。

船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね！

ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and it was amazing. I'm so glad I signed up!! The sunset over the Hawaiian sea was so moving that I felt like I could cry. As I was savoring my happiness, there were fireworks next... I couldn't help but wonder if I could be this happy... and tears came to my eyes. It’s a memory I will never forget. The food was delicious too!

初めてのハワイでしたが、最高でした。申し込んでよかったです！！
ハワイの海のサンセットは、感動で涙が出そうでした。幸せをかみしめていたら、今度は花火が…。こんなに幸せでいいのだろうか…と涙が出てしまいました。一生忘れられない思い出です。食事もおいしかったです！

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.

The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.

I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.

祖父母と親子の５人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。

ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー＆ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。

あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。

I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...

I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆

ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。

もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.

ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを１度は体験してみたい！ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう！』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。

I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.

他の人の書き込みに屋上でやったとありましたが、私たちのときは広い中庭でやり、非常に開放感がありよかったです。海も見えます。
ショーもいろいろな踊りがあり、メリハリがあり楽しかったです。司会は英語で観客が何人か参加する場面も有りました。（外国の方はのりがよく盛り上がっていました）
ファイヤーダンスはすごかったです！
最後に出口にダンサーが何人かいて一緒に写真をとってもらうことができました。

My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.

This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.

今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした！！
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。

ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。

Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.

I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.

The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.

ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。

開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。

I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.

会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか？食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか？まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。

The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.

料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!

Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.

P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.

前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
　しかし、５００名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
　声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし（特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動！おかわりしちゃいました♪）ドリンク（ビールorソフトドリンク）も２杯飲めるし。
　ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
　もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
　予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。
　追記：室内だからファイヤーダンスはありませんでした。

Although I was very unhappy about the seating arrangement, overall it was great.

Great Show, Enjoyed the Venue....food not to great?

We went with 4 couples and had a blast at this luau. The luau grounds is beautiful - the lagoon is such a nice touch and different than other luau's we have been to previous years. The food is excellent - and the entertainment is incredible. Thank you for the perfect ending to our Hawaiian Vacation!
