What are people saying about Hawaii

Wailua Nui Luau at Kauai Hilton Garden Inn

James_G, May 2026

New friends, good food, plus history lesson

Great group of artists not only preforming their heritage for you, but in fact crafting that heritage with you prior to the dinner and performance. Very talented, highly skilled performance in all ways. Food was wonderful and plentiful. We got bumped inside due to weather, but actually we felt good about it due to the problems having dinner in a strong wind and possible rain would have given us. Inside was fine...

Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau

Becky_E, May 2026

An experience you must do while in Hawaii

The buffet was awesome and had a wide variety. They offered kids options, vegetarian options and gluten free options. There’s was something for everybody. The drinks are also bottomless, whether you just want juice or if you want an alcoholic drink. The show was definitely entertaining as well. Me and my family were already wanting to go again before we were even done.

Polynesian Cultural Center: Aliʻi Lūʻau Package

Joseph_P, May 2026

Great day

A full day of knowledge, fun activities, shows and food. Tour guide PK was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about all the islands and culture. Even though it rained on us earlier in the day it was still a very enjoyable experience. The bus driver gave a narrative tour the whole trip with Interesting facts of Hawaii.

Oahu: Chief's Luau Admission Including Transfers

Melissa_C, May 2026

So worth it!

We had an incredible time at Chief's Luau! We were picked up in Waikiki and driven there. The host on the bus was fun and entertaining. The buffet had a nice variety of food and was really good. The highlight of the night was the show! It was nonstop entertainment - from the singing, to the chief's sense of humor, to highlighting the different Polynesian cultures, to inviting the guests on stage, to the AMAZING fire show! I highly recommend!

Polynesian Cultural Center: Gateway Buffet Package

Wendy_S, May 2026

Full day to Polynesian Cultural Centre with dinner and show

This was my favourite day in Oahu. It was simply beautiful starting with an opening ceremony, then visiting all the different islands- shows, food, activities, dancing, music etc. The evening buffet was superb with so many choices of food, entertainment and a fashion show. Very well organised. Then the evening show was brilliant! The staff all day were so lovely. Happy and friendly. We had arranged a coach transfer to and from Waikiki Beach. This was very worthwhile as the bus journey would have been very lengthy and a taxi expensive. Don’t miss this fabulous centre.

Tracy_C, Apr 2026

Lovely evening

The food was good and the entertainment was exceptional. The host’s voice was beautiful and all the dancers showed grace and talent when they performed. The show had a nice storyline of the Hawaiian culture. The preshow activities were fun, just wished we would have had a few minutes more experiencing them. Truly lovely evening

Kauai Lei Greeting at Lihue Airport

Douglas_H, Apr 2026

A Great Experience

A great company to work with. Dan found us even though our flight from HNL to LIH was an hour and a half earlier than expected. He went out of his way to make our arrival an extra special one. The Lei’s were beautiful. He took our picture and also provided us with information about restaurants, beaches and food trucks on the island. He made our Day!

Luau Kalamaku with Manor...

Luau Kalamaku with Manor House 4-Course Dinner and Show. We had transportation from our resort to the Luau Kalamaku. The 4-course meal at the manor house was excellent. We had an opportunity to browse the shops before the show. We were escorted to our reserved front row seat for the luau. The show was fabulous!

Kauai: Luau Ka Hikina Admission with Dinner and Lei Greeting

Keith_B, Mar 2026

Luau luau! Oh yeah!

This is a quaint, family run, luau event. The food is fantastic. Quick thru the line. The dancers are part of a local hula school and they take you around the Polynesian Triangle to show the different types of hula. The fire-knife show was excellent. Would highly recommend. It is not a over commercialized luau.

Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel

SandraJ_M, Mar 2026

Magician is amazing!

The magician was five star for sure! Very entertaining and very talented! Such a fun night as a family- parents and young adult kids. Fun was had by all! (The pre-show was not very well organized. Seating is first come first serve, so recommend getting there earlier than they recommend.)

Paina Waikiki Luau at Waikiki Beach Marriott

A Sunset Celebration

This experience was delightful. The food and hospitality was amazing. The food buffet included snow crab legs, waygu, sushi, fresh fish, prime rib, steak fried rice, and so much more. The entertainment was very good as well and gave so much information about Hawaiian history.
