Waikiki Luau Buffet and Rock-A-Hula review: food, show, price, seating, VIP upgrades, drawbacks, and practical tips for Oahu visitors.
“Customer Service was good. However, there was a lot of waiting to transition to the next thing. The dancers were very mediocre and low energy. The MJ impersonator was the best performer however his set was very small.”
Review of Oahu’s luxury snorkel cruise from Ko Olina, with whale and dolphin watching, Hawaiian buffet, drinks, gear, and Waikiki pickup.
“This was a fun trip. We were spoiled by Maui, so we were a bit down on not seeing a ton of whales, but as soon as we got in the water, we saw so many fish and turtles. The ride was great and the crew were so nice! The food even turned out to be really good! I would definitely book this again.”

“Our experience was excellent! Show was amazing! Loved the attention to detail!”
Review the Savannah dinner cruise with Southern buffet, live music, river views, practical timing, parking tips, and honest value advice.
“The food was amazing! The live singer was great. The views were phenomenal, especially when the sun started to set. This was definitely my favorite tourist activity of Savannah yet and I would highly recommend it to everyone! The only thing I could think of that could better the experience is providing an online menu for the adults with picky kids to help them determine if the buffet dinner would be worth the money. Other than that, just amazing!”
