This luau is an absolute MUST! Everyone was so welcoming and put on the best show! You have a chance to learn about Hawaiian culture and the comedy intertwined into the performances kept us rolling with laughter. The whole family helps with the performance and you can absolutely tell that they love what they do. It was the most fun that we had here in Hawaii! The food was delicious, as well! Highly recommend!

The luau was on a beach so the views were incredible. The luau itself always had something to do during the 4 hours you were there. There were 600 people there and they had activities you can do until the show started such as taking pics with colorful parrots (costs extra), kayaking, and throwing arrows. The buffet was pre-portioned and consisted of fried fish, Pork, buns, poi, salad, rice, a cupcake, and ribs. It was very filling. The show was very comical and i highly recommend. I just wish the seating was a little closer since I was at the winged tables.

I actually laughed out loud several times as the Chief entertained. Also, Cousin Lisa and Cousin Ben were fantastic on the bus. Good life advice and great senses of humor. And Cousin Ben played the ukulele unbelievably well!
Thanks!
Mahalo!

As soon as we came to the POLYNESIAN, we felt like we were in hawaii. This place is worth every penny. Would go back again in a heart beat.

I didn’t know what to expect but I was very impressed with the tour and our tour guide. The Lau was great but the show Breath of Life blew us away. High recommended.

This luau was our first one but far superior to another one we did later in our trip. The food was great, the scenery gorgeous, and the performers were talented and entertaining. The MC Cousin Billy was truly funny and informative. We had a blast! The next day we did the hike to Waimea Falls and that was excellent as well. I could have floated in the waterfall all day. We spent part of each North Shore day at the Waimea Falls complex and I highly recommend it.
Aloha Michelle, and mahalo for your review! We are delighted to know you had a great time at the luau and we are so glad too that you were able to come back to Waimea Valley to tour the waterfalls and the botanical garden. Unfortunately, it's not something that everybody gets to do. I'm just so glad you made it. :-) Mahalo for your kind review really; it's something that we take joy from, knowing that what we have set out to do is meeting expectations, and we intend to keep it that way. We hope to see you again - come see us when you're back in the island. Until then, may God bless you and yours :-)

This luau is the best! We were staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and saw the luau they had from our room. Toa Luau is 100times better that that one! I especially appreciated the intimate and gorgeous setting! The activities they had engaged my 5 and 2 year olds… and had them attentive the whole night! The intimate setting and the care and pride they take in their heritage shows up in the way they do it all! It was personable, intimate, and the wittiest host, Cousin CeCe! I am beyond words for this beautiful experience! Mahalo!
Aloha Cindy, and mahalo for the time you spent with us at the luau! We thank you for choosing us over other luaus, and we are delighted to see too that in the pics you sent us we see nothing but joy in everyone's faces including the kids. Mahalo! we hope to see you guys at the luau again :-)

The show was excellent. The food was great and the drinks were good. The chief was was the star of the show. He was hella funny! The ladies were a close second. My girl enjoyed the men as well. This was a great excursion and worth the money. If you like to drink, get the Royal package .

Outstanding performance!!! You must see!!! All villages are incredible!! All shows were performed with a nice sense a humor, you feel like you came at Stand Up show!!! We laughed so hard, our belly and cheek were hurt :)))) It totally worth it, do not think too much! The ticket is valid for 3 days entry, unfortunately we did not know that so we came on our last day on vacation :( Oh, almost forgot, the Gateaway buffet is delicious!!!

I really enjoyed this amazing Luau, my first time here and the the workers that served the food and drinks, made the Aloha in Hawaii so meaningful, The bus driver and the girl that were in bus#2, were also great, they brought the Ohana out in everyone, Mahalo to the Chief and all the dancers in the show without each of you it wouldn’t have worked out , I want to say Mahalo Hawaii, for such a blessed vacay, and to anyone that reads this, believe me best show ever, money well spent.

This luau was amazing! I went by myself, so if you are a solo traveler this is great! There were all ages there and it’s family friendly. The show was unbelievable and the food was so good. Everything was clean and they took Covid precautions seriously. Everyone was so nice, really good drinks! Make sure you get a drink in a pineapple. The show was so amazing, the history and the music. I will absolutely go that luau again when I come back.

This was our first luau experience & loved how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The staff did a phenomenal job with the experience of taking photos. Show was funny and entertaining! Love how they included the audience and showed all the different type of cultures dances! Talented dancers as well!
Food was good and it was nice to be able to go back and get seconds!
Only thing I was sad about was the gift shop was closed but other than that it was amazing! I highly recommend it !
Aloha Ericka, Thank you for taking time to let us know about your evening spent with our Germaine's Luau Ohana, or family! We always hope our guests feel welcomed when they come to our backyard style luau! So happy you enjoyed our food, and our performers as they have fun showcasing the various island cultural dances, and keeping them authentic as well as entertaining for our guests! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

Loved experiencing this right in Waikiki! The location at the Royal Hawaiian hotel was really convenient (no long bus rides) and the food was 10 out of 10. It started to rain a bit during the show and within minutes, the servers brought out towels to everyone so we could stay dry and catch the last bit of the show. Service was fantastic. Would recommend the extra to get the Premium seating closer to the stage.

I would highly recommend that anyone who visits the islands go explore the Polynesian Culture Center. There is rich culture and knowledge and pride to be embraced. The tribes are welcoming and the proceeds go toward supporting the local college students. They engage the crowds and make it fun. The food and entertainment is amazing. There are several local artists with shops for souvenirs to take home. I’ve made it a point to visit the center every time I’ve visited the island and it’s always amazing.

Very informative and very good food. I was a little disappointed in how rushed we were. No time to socialize
Aloha Erin,
Thank you your feedback, I'm don't understand why you say didn't have time to socialize because there's usually time before the luau actually starts, when music is playing, the sun is setting, as well as during dinner time. However, I am happy that you enjoyed the food, and "information" I assume you mean the Luau show? Thank you for spending your time with our family at Germaine's Luau. Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana

Great time and experience, did all 6 villiages and most of the activities and/or performcances. All very insightful and interesting in their own way with each of the 6. Would easily go back again and do it all over. Everyone there was helpful and always asking if you needed any help or to answer questions in general. Great for the family or take your date. Show in the evening was outstanding as well.

Great show, delicious food, great location, authentically-cooked pork
Aloha to the Marino Family,
Thank you so much for choosing to spend an evening with our family at Germaine's Luau on your recent vacation. So happy that you enjoyed our show and our "local style" food, especially our "imu" cooked Kalua pua'a, or the pig, cooked in our underground oven. We are one of the few luaus that actually cook the pig in the old Hawaiian style of cooking. We appreciate you taking time to send your feedback. Hope you and visit us again in the future! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana.

The Chief and his crew put on an excellent show. Highly recommended!! Since everyone was vaccinated, we could all enjoy normal life even if masks are still required. Would definitely go again! Mahalo!
