Overall Rating
4.74
Such a fun, family, event!
Reviewed by: Callie , 2024/07/28Our family of 9 (all adults) had a fabulous time at this luau. The employees were great. The food was pretty descent (I’ve had some not great food at luaus in the past), but the show was spectacular! The performers were amazing and the flow and diversity of the dances and such were so entertaining. We were completely entertained the whole night.

Wonderful Show
Reviewed by: Norma M, 2023/11/12The show was wonderful, I was surprised by the great cast and the excellent presentation with the fire.
The food at the buffet was delicious with 3 main dishes to choose from, plus salad, fruits, dessert and drinks all included in one price.
I recommend this show for the whole family, it is a wonderful experience.
All under a giant tent.

Great show
Reviewed by: Carlos García , 2023/10/30My first show ever , I did not know what to expect but I loved it . I am definitely coming back and enjoy the garden next time . The theater was something I really loved . The last act with the fire was my favorite. I do recommend for families or even for solo travelers . I learned a little more about the culture and the different races that have made Hawaii a paradise with culture and history

Wonderful luau
Reviewed by: Sharon Blackwood, 2023/08/24Perfect night. Seating was good, the variety of food was plentiful and delicious. The show was great. Very beautifully done. Loved the story of the love a father has for his daughter and interesting history of the island. Marvelous performances, great fire dances, wonderful cast. Recommend to everyone.

Server issues - good show
Reviewed by: Davis Family of 10, 2023/03/09The Luau event location where we ate and viewed the show was all under roof - very large roof. There is not a bad seat in the place with excellent viewing. The 3-man band for our show was outstanding! They wove the dancing and other acts into an historical account which added interest to the hula and fire dancing. Great costumes and enthusiasm from the performers. The food was medium grade with the desserts below medium grade. The process to be seated was an issue with us as a server is supposed to take you after checking in to your table. No server did that for us. Hence after everyone had been served their salads we noticed nobody brought us a salad. Their head server said since we were not seated properly we were not known to the servers as to who would be serving our table. That was a really bad answer to blame us for their mistake. Once they brought us our salad, they almost immediately were asking us to go through the buffet line for the main course and servers were asking for our unfinished salad plates. Other than this server issue, the venue and show was very good.

Happy family!
Reviewed by: Hannah, 2022/04/25This was our first luau ever and it was nothing short of amazing. We did get there late (with toddlers) so we missed the pig roast and the vendors. Open bar and food good. Show and music wonderful.

Best Luau Show and Hawaiian Story ever told! AAAA
Reviewed by: MariaR from Colorado, 2017/11/25It is so worth paying to have them pick you up and our driver was both informative and funny. I would pass on the train ride. Too many kids were in our car and we couldn't hear the tour. Or get closer to the conductor. The food was plentiful and many buffets were available. The drinks for Muai Tais or Blue Hawaiians were all inclusive and if you like to drink, there was no maximum. The show was the spotlight of this Luau. The pictures are just a brief image or example of the spectacular event that draws you into the history of Hawaii.

Happy
Reviewed by: Jonathan, 2017/08/22We had a good time, but if there was one thing I would change would be the ending. It felt like the beginning it had a lot of excitement but the end it all went down. Great customer service by the way except from one of the venders selling in graved rocks.

Luau
Reviewed by: NLKTravel, 2016/11/19Pros: I added the optional transfer for $12pp and it was nice to have someone else drive since drinks were included. This was a large tour bus with plenty of room. When you arrive, you are greeted with a flower lei. Some local venders were selling hand made items, spices, photos, and nuts. The grounds are well kept with a flower lei greeting. The food was very good and you could go back for seconds. The dancers and show was one of the best I have seen.
Cons: If you drive yourself, arrive early so you can find parking. Paying for the "Plantation Owner's Evening" I thought we should have been sitting closer and I didn't feel like I was being treated like an "Owner". See the photo I attached of how far back we were from the show. For some reason, our bartender was not having a good day and was basically being grumpy. I hope his attitude changed later.

Well organised and tasty food.
Reviewed by: Laura, 2015/05/20Had to wait for 25 minutes on arrival in a queue to 'check in', once inside we didn't realise how big the area was. Markets, no lines at the bar, the buffet was well organised and entertainment was good. Not an intimate affair, hundreds of people but well worth the price.
