Not worth it

Everything is at their pace. So you will lose your drink tickets and pretty much be told to pound sand.

Michelle_O, Oct 2026
The luau performers were wonderful! We enjoyed watching the show. The Chief was funny and entertaining. The cost was not proportional to the event I don’t think. There are 3 ticket options based on seating and number of free drinks. The seating wasn’t very different in the three sections. Since there were just tables on the ground in front of the stage, everyone had a good view. It’s at Wet and Wild, so it does loose some of the authenticity. If you want the whole cooked pig brought out and the natural environment, this isn’t it. It began raining pretty hard, they gave us rain ponchos but ultimately had to cut the program short I believe. But the fire show was awesome!

A great night

Eric_P, Sep 2026
100% Hawaiian family entertainment. The live music and dance was excellent. The buffet was good. The Chief recognized birthdays,wedding anniversaries, veterans and included audience In the show. Several Pacific islands were recognized with their music and dance. One con is the water park bathrooms which are dark. Dancers are skilled with fire and ice, using weapons and poles. Our bus driver, Lisa,was funny,informative and made us feel like family. We learned a lot about Hawaii with her talk during the ride from the cruise port.

The show is fabulous but Guests know that it is a buffet dinner. The dinner was very average with very small paper plates .I was expecting great food to match the traditional experience.

Disappointed

Lisa_A, Sep 2026
They changed the location. There is no roasting of the pig in the pig coming out the ground the view that I saw from the previous referral showed that the ocean view and the cats just was overwhelming with cats, and it was at a waterpark. The actual set up wasn’t bad, but the fact that you had to walk away so far for your food just wasn’t and then the bar was far away, so the experience wasn’t what I expected for the price that I paid.

Great Show, Poor Location and Food

Raquel_C, Sep 2026
The performance itself was amazing and truly the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing because of the food and the location. The luau was held at what appeared to be an old golf land/water park, which was not at all what I expected for the price of the tickets. There were also stray cats roaming throughout the area, which took away from the overall atmosphere and made the setting feel less enjoyable. While the entertainment was excellent, the food and venue did not meet my expectations. Knowing what the location and overall setting were like beforehand, I honestly would not have purchased the tickets.

Fun for all

Ashley_S, Sep 2026
The entertainment is great. The main guy is funny and held the kids attention. Entertainment was great. Food was meh. Our bus driver was informative and funny. We had an issue with the bus, but it got corrected quickly with a new bus.

Fun Luau

Julie_M, Sep 2026
Loved this show! The entertainment and food was wonderful. We had the transfers to and from our hotel and found our driver to be prompt and personable. I would recommend this activity for couples or for the whole family.

Superb performance!!!! The chief had a great sense of humor!

Anissa_M, Aug 2026
“Excellent show! My husband and I have been to Chief’s Luau twice, and both experiences have been amazing. The first time we attended, my husband proposed to me, so Chief’s Luau will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We returned this time to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary, and once again, we had a wonderful time. Chief is absolutely hilarious, keeps everyone engaged throughout the entire show, and does a great job making everyone feel included. The entertainment, atmosphere, and overall experience were fantastic. We have truly enjoyed ourselves both times and would definitely recommend Chief’s Luau to anyone visiting Hawaii. 🌺❤️🌴

Choose Chief’s!

Carlee_B, Jul 2026

Jane_C, Jun 2026
This was an absolutely wonderful Luau. Being able to book with transportation to the Luau was very helpful. Food and drinks were very good & plentiful. A lot of fun things to do and many opportunities to interact with the performers. The Chief was very funny & also very informative. Another huge plus was they didn't solicit for tips or reviews!! Highly recommend!

Family Luau

Cheryl_W, May 2026
Although this luau is located in a Wet N Wild, it was still a great experience and show without the sand. Food was good and plentiful.

Amazing boat ride!!

Donna_T, May 2026
It’s amazing!!!!! You should definitely do it! It was fun, the staff was very entertaining. I got to see whales, turtles and fish

Didn’t live up to the hype

Tangie_C, May 2026
Too many people felt like a herd of cows, standing around long times before you can get in and too be so expensive I just expected more. Lining up like I’m in a school lunch line to get food was not what I expected. They did their best to make you have a good experience but honestly I think my expectations were too high. My first and last luau most likely.

Night with Chief

Roy_R, May 2026

Entertaining night. Decent food. No need to buy higher package. Good fire show. Gets a little chilly by the end of the night.

MC did a fantastic job....

Anna_S, May 2026
MC did a fantastic job. Audience participation was promoted which made the sense of Ohana meaningful. It was interesting to experience the different performances based on the island they originated from.
