Luau Kaula in Ko Olina, Oahu
Description
Kaula is a story-based luau, put on by Hawaiian Council to tell authentic Hawaiian stories. With a focus on fun and entertainment, you're part of the show from the moment you arrive until the last high energy note fades and the sound of the ocean takes back the night. It may be Hawaii's story, but we built the experience around you. The unique eat-when-you-want format allows you to skip long buffet lines, and eat when you're ready. The interactive activities are also unlike any others: wandering performers, friendly competitions, cultural lessons, and (voluntary) singalongs combine to make sure you leave with a smile and a generous serving of aloha.

We would definitely come back. The show from beginning to end was exciting and fun. They put on a great performances. The food was good. Very authentic, hit the spot.
This was my first time in Hawaii and obviously my first luau experience. And I must say that this was the highlight of my vacation! I loved everything about this luau! Everyone was super friendly, all the performers did such an amazing job, and I truly was in awe watching every performer, including the acrobat, the fire dancers, and of course, the gorgeous hula dancers. I also enjoyed the storytelling and it drew me in even more into this experience. The delivery of the food was a little different from what I’ve seen and heard from other people. It is like a food truck style and all you can eat. As a vegan, there weren’t too many options. However, what I ate was delicious and I still had an amazing time. I highly recommend this luau; you won’t regret it!
This is really a great experience if you’re in the Oahu/Honolulu area. The dancing, the show and the care giving to Hawaiian tradition and culture was spectacular. We decided to do the boat cruise beforehand as a package deal and it was beautiful. I can highly recommend it.
We wanted to leave our resort to go to a nice luau nearby. We were extremely disappointed. Neither my boyfriend or I are picky, but the food was inedible. Watching the others at our table, it was clear that others felt the same. Although it depicted some Hawaiian culture, it was more of a theater performance than a cultural experience. It was truly an awful experience. Walking past the luau at my resort nearly made me cry as I felt my money was completely wasted on this one. Please do research and AVOID this one at all cost.
Had a wonderful and special evening!! Great food with great storytelling and amazing performers!! Must see show!!
The experience was magical and I loved the stories that were told. I felt like I learned so much about the history that night. The pre-show was incredible too and the food was delicious.
Food was fantastic, great entertainers and the kids love the painting on the arms ! Not a bad seat in the house
Here’s a polished review you could post: If you’re looking for an authentic Hawaiian experience, this is the luau to attend. Being locally owned and operated made such a difference—you could truly feel the heart and culture behind every part of the evening. The storytelling was captivating, the dancers were absolutely incredible, and every performance felt genuine rather than overly commercialized. The passion and pride they have for sharing their heritage really shined through. I’ve been to several luaus over the years, and this was hands down one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii who wants an unforgettable, authentic cultural experience.
THe Luau was very beautiful and amazing the food could have had more options but over all amazing performances and story line
While the doors opening was delayed the luau itself was absolutely fantastic!! The performance and story were amazing. Our group was so pleased with the experience.
