It was a great show, fun and entertaining! The food was good. They offered pick up and travel from hotel to Luau which was great.
Great experience, entertainment, and good food. Very welcoming staff. It was beyond our expectations!!!!
We all throughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind. The food was good, but the presentation and the other experiences were the best part of the Luau. We highly recommend this luau.
Wow! Much more than we expected! Loved all the demonstrations and photo opps! I definitely do this again.
Excellent show, great dancing, very good fire dance. The food was good, drinks were good as well. Plenty to do for the whole family before the food was served. Free temporary tattoos for the kids, headbands, and more. Plenty of small shops around the facility with snacks and keepsakes. It was nice to get the veteran discount. And be recognized as a veteran during the show. The show was well attended, close to 200 people, but plenty of room to move around. Kids were taken on stage and taught hula. All the dancers were very friendly and available for photos after the show. We had a great time
We attended this beautiful and magical event for our 25th wedding anniversary. The initial communication from the beginning was absolutely amazing. We loved our ride on our clean and relaxing bus and the family like atmosphere coming and going was entertaining. When we arrived we were greeted by the wonderful staff. The food and entertainment and cultural history lesson was enlightening. I will remember this amazing experience for the rest of my life. I highly recommend this beautiful experience ❤️
The whole experience from the bus pick up to the end was flawless. Its a very well ran operation. The story the Luau told was amazing!
Food was great and lots of it! Really enjoyed the entertainment, comedian was very funny and the dancers and performers were awesome - especially the fire performance! We all loved it!
The best part was the dance and fire show at the end of the whole thing. What folks need to know is the venue is basically in a trailer park in the middle of nowhere....they have tried to outfit it to a venue but I was disappointed we were in a trailer park.....it was not what we were expecting. It felt a bit like a festival at first with a bunch of vendors and activities...which we had no interest in. Pig roast was...ehh not anything huge...Trailers are used for bathrooms, and fake grass carpet is laid out for luau space...folding up tables for dinner etc. If you are expecting a more formal environment this one isnt for you. I wish we would have booked a luoa at a nice hotel or beach front....i chose this one thingking it was in the Poylnesian Center....thinking a big scenic park or manicured grounds. This place was not that. Having said that the dancers and fire show was impressive. Food was ok...not the best and not the worst. Also know that your drink tickets have limitations....I wanted a glass of wine for instance but was told that wasn't included and I needed to pay 21 bucks extra. I said nope..we just dropped 800 bucks for our family to attend and 3 drink tickets were to be included...I was very annoyed about that detail too.
From start to finish absolutely amazing 10/10 would recommend to everyone! The fire show alone makes it worth it!
