AMAZING!!!
Reviewed by: Iokua, 2024/10/01This experience was amazing! The waterfall swim was the perfect way to begin the adventure. And then the luau itself was incredible. Much love and respect for the awesome drummers, dancers, fire spinners, and the kindness shown by all. Highly recommend!

Luau Experience
Reviewed by: Keyolfson , 2024/08/24Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

Great family friendly event!
Reviewed by: Ruth , 2024/04/28We enjoyed Toa Luau so much! Our children, 2 & 4, had a wonderful time as well. The cast/crew are the same people running the activities before the meal, and serving the meal, then putting on a great show - their hard work and enthusiasm is inspiring <3 I noticed their attention to detail in how smoothly the check-in, meal, and all the transitions went. Highly recommend!

You feel just like family.
Reviewed by: Bert & Theresa, 2023/09/25From the beginning to the end you truly feel like you are part of the family. The host has such a love for Hawaiian history and the desire to preserve every ounce of it. What a beautiful display of culture. The meal was more then anyone could hope for. If time would have permitted we definitely would have attended again.

Amazing
Reviewed by: Courtney, 2023/09/10Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.
Aloha Courtney and mahalo for leaving us this review and for sharing a very cute pic of your kid! Looks like she had fun husking the coconut. We're glad that you guys enjoyed your time at the luau. Mahalo for the recommendation, we truly appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Mahalo nui loa!

The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10

Cultural Experience
Reviewed by: K. C., 2023/07/26Great show, solid food, mixed drinks good, interactive displays fun. We got the gold package which was nice, but silver would have been almost as good. It's awesome that the botanical garden tickets were included with the show tickets. Get there early to get parking otherwise it fills up fast. The entertainers put in a lot of effort and they have some great skills.
Aloha K. C.! We're glad that you enjoyed the show, food, and drinks at the luau. We're grateful that you took your time to leave us this review and to share your experience with us to the community. Hope we'd see you again! Mahalo!

Glad we chose this luau
Reviewed by: LJT, 2023/05/19We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.
Aloha LJT and mahalo for taking the time to write us this review and for sharing your experience at the luau. Mahalo for the recommendation, we appreciate it! We're glad that you enjoyed your time at the luau and had fun exploring the gardens and the waterfall. Hope we'd see you again the next time you're on the island! Mahalo nui loa!

Wonderful Event!
Reviewed by: Lucy Kulbago, 2023/03/03We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!
Aloha Lucy and mahalo for this review! Such a cute pic of you and your husband! Looks like you guys enjoyed your experience at the luau looking at your beautiful smile. Hopefully we'd see you guys again! Mahalo!

A truly remarkable experience!
Reviewed by: Krystle, 2023/03/02We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time
Aloha Krystle and mahalo for leaving us this review and also for the recommendation, we are truly grateful! We're glad that you had a wonderful experience with your Toa Luau ohana and enjoyed the show. Happy to hear that your kid enjoyed the activities. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

Great Experience
Reviewed by: Guest of Feb15, 2023, 2023/03/01This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!
I highly recommend this, especially for families!
My family had a great time!
Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to write us this review and for sharing your experience with us at the luau.

The best Luau on the Island!
Reviewed by: Anniversary , 2023/02/10This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

I wish I had left more time to explore the Valley!
Reviewed by: Kris H, 2023/01/23The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
Aloha Kris! We're glad that you had a great experience at the luau and had fun. Mahalo for this review, we greatly appreciate it! Hopefully you'd visit us again. Mahalo nui loa!

Waimea Valley Falls & Toa Luau

Great time! Best luau experience! The family was incredible! Husband said it was the best pulled pork he has ever eaten!
Reviewed by: Shae, 2022/09/07We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

Love the show!
Reviewed by: Wong, 2022/09/01The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.

Amazing time with the family!
Reviewed by: Alondra C, 2022/08/27My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!

A Hawaii "must do"!
Reviewed by: Stan C, 2022/07/30A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.
The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!
