It was our first Luau so what we expect to see wasn't met. I expected the food to be delicious but it was just average and the IMU ceremony just wasn't exciting as what you would of expected. We took the train ride before dinner and it was alright but wouldn't do it again. There was some information that was... More

Years ago I went to an authentic Luau, the kind on the beach, with the roast pig, and hawaiian dancers... I sort of expected something similar, but it was not the same, as it was in a building with no sand and on a stage, though was impressed very much by the show and story. The food was very disappointing.... More

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. This Luau was one of the highlights of our trip. It had everything and was extremely organized, people were friendly, entertainment was top notch!! I have only been to one other Luau but this one truly outshines! This was well worth the time and money to go to. The food was arranged very well and was very... More

We enjoyed this luau with our 3 year old daughter. She managed to stay awake and really loved the music and dancing. The dinner was well organised for a huge buffet with various stations set up and plenty of food.The food was typical Hawaiian with pork, sweet potato mash etc but sadly no pokay! The drinks were indeed plentiful and... More

First Luau and its not the last. The experience and food exceptional. I would recommend this to everyone who visits. Not sure if it can be topped by another one. They had a little something for everyone to experience.

We went to the luau as an excursion from our cruise on the Pride of America. This was our first time in Hawaii so had to go to a luau. There were about 800 people there, it was well organised with buses etc. We were greeted with shell and flower leis and drinks which are included all night until the... More

This was a wonderful evening of entertainment. I enjoyed the shopping before the show started it was well worth getting there at least 30 minutes early. The drinks were strong not overly sweet as some have stated. The food was ok the dessert was lacking but then i was full from the meal. Pork was good. Must admit the food... More

My MIL told us how she regretted now going to one when she was in HI years ago. This one seemed a better option for us than some of the others, and we weren't disappointed. Food is fairly standard buffet fare, but all of it was decent and nice to have gluten free items labeled. Drinks are free and nothing... More

We went to this Luau as a family and had a wonderful experience. We had great food and were able to have all the drinks we would have wanted, however my only complaint was that the bartenders didn't know how to make some very basic drinks. The staff was very helpful and the show was one of the best Luau... More

So here is the good and the bad. The price for the luau and show is around a hundred dollars, which about average. The food is average, except for the pork which is very good. They cook the pig in a pit next to the dining area and you have the option of seeing them remove the pig from the... More
