Everything about this luau is top notch, from the food and beverages provided to the amazingly talented performers. The support staff were incredible as well. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone!
One of the best luau's in the entire country it was amazing and the experience and the culture and the food was divine. The drinks are complementary and the blue Hawaiian and the mai ties are fantastic. I will never forget this and the food again was Divine to see The roaster pig come out of the ground was amazing and extra delicious
What a beautiful review to read. Thank you, Regine, for sharing your thoughts on the culture and the food, and we're glad the blue Hawaiian hit the spot too.
Beautiful time, the host and dancers did a great job!! Drinks and dinner included and had a station to get a bracelet or headband made
So happy to hear this, Khadijah. Our host and dancers work hard to make each night special, and we're glad that came through for you.
It was awesome. Great location in the back of the hilton overlooking lydgate beach. The staff were great. My daughter and I loved the food. Great musicians.....Great talking story....Great hula.....and the fire dancer, he did an incredible job. I highly recommend this luau!!
Mahalo for this recommendation, Teddy. Happy the fire dancer's performance and the musicians made the evening one to remember for you and your daughter.
This was by far the best luau I have ever been to! The food was amazing, the traditional storytelling with dancing was great, and the musicians were very skilled (coming from a musician myself). I particularly impressed by their award winning fire dancer. Highly recommend going if you’re in town.
Aloha, Braydeng! Coming from a fellow musician, that praise for our musicians means so much. So glad the storytelling and fire dancer left such an impression too.
It was cancelled due to rain, I understand that happens. But I have yet to be refunded. Will someone please reach out to me? Thank you.
Loved the experience! Everything was wonderful. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. ❤️❤️❤️
We're so glad Wailua Nui could be part of your Kauai experience, Kathy. Knowing you'd pass the recommendation along to family and friends means the world to the whole team.
It was amazing! I felt honored to experience their sharing of their culture with us. I loved every minute of it and highly recommend this experience! The dancing was beautiful and exciting and the service was top notch!
Mahalo nui loa for the kind words. The dancers and staff pour genuine care into every performance and every interaction, and it's wonderful to hear that it came through for you.
Wailua Nui Luau delivered an unforgettable evening from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the setting couldn’t have been more magical — open air with a stunning ocean view and the most refreshing cool breezes rolling in all night. Our host set the perfect tone — warm, funny, and genuinely engaging — and the storytelling about the history and culture of the area added real depth to the experience. The dancers were top notch, and the fire knife dancing was jaw-dropping. We especially loved seeing the different Polynesian cultures represented throughout the show. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating all evening. And the kids? They were absolutely in their element at the lei making and temporary Polynesian tattoo stations — those interactive touches made it special for the whole family. If you’re visiting Kauaʻi, this is a must-do. Highly, highly recommend! 🌺🔥 Feel free to tweak anything — especially if you want to add a personal note about who you went with or a specific moment that stood out!
What a wonderful thing to read! The team at Wailua Nui works hard to make the evening feel complete, from the cultural storytelling down to the keiki activities, and it means a lot to hear it all landed the way it did for your family.
Great experience all around. Plenty of delicious on food, fun entertainment and rich storytelling. A must do if you are new to Hawaii
Mahalo for the warm words, Marissa. Nights like that one are exactly what Wailua Nui is all about, and we're glad it left a good impression.
