What an awesome performance by all! I loved all the dancing and we were intrigued with them doing the fire dance. We were entertained the entire time. The food was okay and the drinks were okay.

The performers were wonderful and very talented. The food was subpar and I would definitely go for the entertainment and not go for the food. It’s a bit of a tourist trap but what would one expect for a buffet luau, lol!

An exciting event for families and couples. A fun train ride; a feast and a beautiful show. The performers were excellent and their story compelling. If you know the Tahitien migration story you will identify with the Hawaiian. Mahalo!

We were recommended in attending, so we did. What a waste of time. We came for the imu ceremony which was scheduled from 6:15-6:30. We come to the pit at 6:20 and we were informed that it was done 5 minutes ago. No traditional meals were served at the buffet and they served pulled pork instead...
We were recommended in attending, so we did. What a waste of time. We came for the imu ceremony which was scheduled from 6:15-6:30. We come to the pit at 6:20 and we were informed that it was done 5 minutes ago. No traditional meals were served at the buffet and they served pulled pork instead of roasted pork. The show was so commercialized, cliche and bastardized the culture that i felt extremely guilty in sitting in the room. The dancers were good, but the choreography and the costumes were the worst i have ever seen. We left as soon it as was done. I will never recommend this Luau. It is so bad and they didnt promise on the delivery (imu ceremony, hawaiian meals, authentic show) that I am tempted to call my credit card company to dispute the charge.SaltLife70

5 Stars for the Performance. The food was not authentic Hawaiian food. The performance was like seeing a broadway show.
