Simply the “BEST” Luau ever attended.
Reviewed by: Mr. 305, 2024/10/03Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.

Meh....
Reviewed by: Brian P., 2024/07/20The entertainment was superb!!! The food, however, was cold, undercooked, and no flavor. I do understand the institutional food prep, but it could have been better.

Fun, Fire, and Flare
Reviewed by: Daniel Hunt, 2024/07/16This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.
I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.

Mauka warriors luau
Reviewed by: DC, 2024/06/11The luau was entertaining and informative. The food was good too. Staff did a good job of moving 500 people through the lines. Only two watered down drink tickets. The free choices were only offered at one stand. For 500 people. Not enough.
I enjoyed the pictures on arrival. I think more opportunities for pictures would have been good.

Great fun with friends!
Reviewed by: Lala Kitty, 2024/05/15After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~
Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.
Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.
The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.
But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.
10/10 would definitely recommend!

One of the best Luaus in Hawaii! Had a great time!
Reviewed by: Julie_MC, 2023/12/22[Reviewed by HawaiiActivties.com Staff]
I recently attended the Mauka Warriors Luau in Oahu and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainment. Having been to many luaus throughout Hawaii, I can say that Mauka Luau stands out with its unique and special show. The Thrilling Fire Knife Dancing was the best and most impressive on the entire island!
In my opinion, what makes Mauka Luau truly distinctive is its interactive experience and engaging storytelling, The mesmerizing hula and fire performances narrate fascinating stories of the islands' history
Before the dinner and luau show, there is a great variety of different hands-on Polynesian activities to enjoy.
While the buffet might not have the widest variety compared to other luaus, the food at Mauka Luau is incredibly tasty and presented beautifully.
The venue itself offers stunning mountain and ocean views of Waikiki and Honolulu, and if you look carefully, you can even catch a glimpse of Diamond Head in the distance. They strive to offer a more intimate setting and there is plenty of space in between the tables, so you don't feel crowded.
Transportation from Waikiki is available, making it convenient for guests, and the prices are affordable, offering excellent value for the experience you receive at the Luau. Plus, all guests receive complimentary professional photos sent directly to their phones, which is a nice touch.
I highly recommend checking it out!

Amazing value, views and shows
Reviewed by: E Magee, 2023/10/03To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

Fantastic experience and great show.
Reviewed by: Florence , 2023/08/24Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.
