Wen's review, Oahu tours & activities, fun things to do in Oahu | HawaiiActivities.com

Not exactly what I would expect of a traditional Luau. Excellent proffesional performers, but not so much hula during the performance. The food is fantastic and very traditional, but you don't see the pig cooked.

We chose this Luau experience because it was in Wakiki area. First you arrive to a mall and go to floor 4 for dinner. Dinner was outdoor under a covered area. The food quality was great and the entertainment during the meal was fantastic. Hula dancers and music. Thye even invited guests up to try hula. For us the dinner was the best part. Now on to the show.
If you are looking for a traditional Hula show at a Luau, go elsewhere. This show is in a theatre, so you are indoor. The show is Hawaiian dance thru the ages. It begins with a traditional hula dance and ends with one, but the majority of the show is Elvis and Micheal Jackson performances. Now, the quality of the performance by the performers was first class. All the singers and dancers were excellent performers, so for a show, it was well worth the money we paid. It just isn't what you think of for a traditional Luau. It is better to take a shuttle and to somewhere like Gerards if you want a traditional Luau experience including making Laies and seeing the pig pulled from the ground.
