Fantastic show and the food was great. I loved the fire show the best. The tour guide from the bus and the emcee of the show were very entertaining

It is the full experience. This was our first time to Hawaii and our second luau on a different island. Well, done! When you walked in you felt like you were walking into a Hawaiian village. I bet there was close to 300 people, and they functioned like a well-oiled machine when it came to getting everyone to the buffet line. At our first luau we saw one fire dancer at the end but here there were several! The stories and dancing were wonderful. It was also very interactive. If brave enough you could get on stage and take some hula lessons! They also had several stations designed for interactive workshops and take aways. Vendors with local items to offer such as gifts and food were surrounding the village. I did like the demonstration of preparing the pit for cooking and how the pig is prepared for the ceremony. Well worth the investment to go! When we went, they shared a temporary glitch they had with their liquor license. They were very open about it. Invited us to BYOB and refunded us a portion of our ticket to cover the inconvenience. They had soft drinks and water as well as "mocktails". The icing on the cake was you could take pictures with all the dancers and performers after the show was over and we never felt like we were being rushed. We are very glad we added a second luau to our itinerary.
Best Luah, highly recommend!

Easy directions, Great experience, amazing set up, lovely group of people. I was blown away by the show itself and the performers, the set up of the luah from the different areas to learn about tattoos, basket weaving, throwing of the flames, to the overall dinner which was delicious. So glad I chose this Luah, the community here is so very welcoming and I admire very much what they are giving to us the travelers to experience a glimpse into their livelihood. Highly recommend

Really fun experience! The activities before the meal and show were great, the meal was tasty, and the show was excellent. I thought we had gotten there too early, but there was loads to do and see. All of the staff around were really kind and helpful, and most were enthusiastic and energetic. The only criticism I would have is the seating makes it difficult to get a good view -- you sit at long banquet tables, so while watching the show you have to try to position yourself to see past all of the folks sat closer to the stage. It's not impossible, just something I hadn't anticipated. If you are shorter or have small children, I'd say it's worth paying for the Royal package to ensure you have less possible obstruction.
