The venue was easy to find and beautiful! Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile and lei then escorted to our seats. The whole set up was great. I recommend that you book the VIP package as you get 3 drink tickets & get a good seat up front! The MC was very personable and entertaining we were laughing a lot and the performers were incredible! The fire dancing left me speechless. The staff were very quick to hold up the safety net during that performance I didn't even notice when they set it up they were so quick and smooth with it. Felt like we were in the presence of family! I thought it was awesome that they honored birthdays, wedding anniversaries & newlyweds. The food was amazing! The plate was VERY filling and the best part is if you are still hungry you can ask for more! I was looking online for the best luau in Oahu and this was the one! It is a drive from Waikiki but SO WORTH IT!
I missed the entire experience and am out several hundred dollars. We did not arrive at the venue in time due to road closures that we were unaware of. We received an email the day of to allow an additonal 30 mins travel time which we did, but that was still not enough. I asked for a refund and was denied.
Wonderful experience but wish we had transportation from Waikiki
Excellent experience! For the price of it you got the ticket for the waterfall, lei, braided headband, cooking show, amazing food, and amazing show. All of the workers did an amazing job with the cultural dances and experiences. My jaw was dropped the entire time. Great for all ages and I would 10/10 recommend to others. We went to the waterfall during the day and the luau at night. The luau was so cool as it started to get dark. Overall amazing experience!
The experience was great, with only the seating being meh, but again, the overall cultural experience was excellent. We were amazed by the dancing. The MC was great and engaging. Overall it was a wonderfully engaging time and it really gives you insight into the history of Polynesia and the different cultures within. I would recommend it for all aspects including the beautiful location with great historical significance.
We had a great time with family at the Luau!! The food was great and the entertainment was wonderful. You can also explore the botanical gardens and the waterfall before and after the luau. I would highly recommend this!!
It was a wonderful performance. The MC and the total staff/group of performers were incredible. It was fun, entertaining, and engaging.
Toa Luau is the best of the several luaus I’ve been to in Hawaii, and the setting in Waimea valley is majestic. Definitely arrive a few hours early to make time for a walk through the botanical gardens and to the waterfall. The food at the luau was tasty and ample, with seconds readily available, and the luau show was a lot of fun, concluding with the dramatic fire dancing. You need to provide your own transportation to Waimea Valley for this event, but it is no difficult to rent a car for the day and drive there, allowing about 1.5 hours each way.
We enjoyed every moment of this. From the beauty of the botanical gardens and waterfall to the Luau experience. Highly recommend
It was beautiful!! Our first time going to a luau and I would definitely come back to this one again. The host, dancers, and the entire team are all so welcoming and put on the best show while also diving into their culture with activities they provide. Definitely a beautiful luau to visit.
