Chief’s Luau in Honolulu was absolutely amazing! The show was entertaining from start to finish, with the perfect mix of comedy, incredible dancing, and unforgettable fire performances—the fire dancing was truly next level. The buffet-style food was excellent, and the pulled pork was hands down the best we’ve ever tasted. This luau is a must-see if you’re vacationing in Honolulu. We’re so glad we experienced it!

Chief’s luau

jcasanova2, Apr 2026
They picked us up right at the cruise ship port pier and brought us back to the pier on time. The luau show was amazing, food was great and our tickets included 2 drinks each either alcohol or nonalcoholic drinks. The luau show was outstanding and we loved it. The staff was amazing and I was selected to dance a solo dance with one of the dancers. Really enjoyed it. Overall price was half what princess was charging for 2 people: Viator delivered well. Highly recommend it to anyone..

Great Luau Choice

The luau teaches you...

Tyron_S, Mar 2026
The luau teaches you things that village use to practice such as dances, rituals, and the way they would celebrate. I believe they deserve a bigger stage, they were very nice, caring, and gave us a laugh every opportunity they had.

It’s a fun and unforgettable experience! Highly recommended! Event is served with foods and this tour has transportation included , so it’s convenient for us who doesn’t want to drive!

A must do!

Jenida_N, Mar 2026
Pickup was on time and the bus driver was so funny and lovely. The people at the show were very welcoming. The show is a must do, worth the price..it was emotional and exciting. Birthdays, anniversaries were recognised- such a special time for those celebrating. The dances, the fire show was awesome. The food bit was a miss and hit especially since it was " Hawaiian food" so this is expected. But come when u have eaten incase u get disappointed on food part..but the rest was spectacular. The chief is such a warm and funny person, made it 100 times better. Would definitely att3nd again or bring friends along. Fyi- don't get scared to go alone if ur solo travelling..its doable and you meet kind people...

Luau that's worth it!

Keaunda_I, Mar 2026
For my last night in Hawaii, I wanted to go to a luau, and this one did not disappoint! The food was amazing, the entertainment was spectacular and even though I went solo, I never felt alone. Best way to end my vacation on a high note and I will definitely be back again. 10/10 would recommend

Fab night

Mary_F, Feb 2026
One of the top 3 recommended luau in Honolulu. They represent all Polynesian islands, Samoa, New Zealand, Figi, Tahitian, Hawaii, fire dancing. Roast pig demonstrations, lots of laughter and great entertainment

Worth every penny

Great experience. Very friendly, interactive, and showed their passion for the culture. Showed their knowledge and love for the different cultures and represented them all very graciously

Chief led luau

Jan_D, Feb 2026
The chief gave so much information and made it fun with humor. All the dancers worked hard performing the different cultural dances. My husband said this was the best show he’s seen at a luau.

Hail to the Chief!

Truly amazing experience! I was taken back by how beautiful the culture was explained and expressed through their dances and performances.

Night cruise dinner and show

RhondaS_C, Jan 2026
The boarding was very organized. I really enjoyed the variety and explanation about the entertainment. The food appeared to have been microwaved but it was good especially that I was very hungry after a busy day of sightseeing.

Excellent show!

Mikhael_E, Jan 2026
While in Hawaii on a cruise ship we decided to must do the Luau. It was a great show. We opted in for the transportation. The food buffet was good and plentiful.

Good Luau experience

Thomas_S, Jan 2026
Good Luau experience. It was a long commute from the hotel/port area on a Friday night. Consider another evening for a less rushed and traffic jam experience.

Chief Luau

SuzAnne_B, Jan 2026
Was a nice evening. The show was very good especially the fire part. The food was good given they are serving a large group. The bus over was good and the host shared a lot about the area on the way there.

Fabulous family activity

Excellent Luau

Karen_E, Jan 2026
The luau included delicious drinks, well-prepared food, displays of cultural traditions, and lively entertainment. It was well-paced and interesting. There were no "hard sells".

Highly recommend this tour!

Drusilla_J, Jan 2026
Great experience! Highly recommend! My friends and I had a wonderful time. The team anticipated all our needs.

Kid-Friendly and a Top Rated Show

Richard_M, Jan 2026
It was a great experience. Kid-friendly and multiple opportunities to interact with the performers. The food was excellent, and the show was informative, entertaining, fun, and funny.

Chiefs luau

Pam_O, Jan 2026
Very long bus ride from Waikiki. No bathroom on bus(said it was locked. An elderly man and his caretaker got off the bus at one of the pickup spots and took 20 minutes or more to get back on. We were 1/2 hrs late to the luau. Missed out on some things. Then we're late leaving after the show because the same man & caretaker couldn't be found. Not a good tour guide. The luau food was just ok. After the free drink, paid $17 for a 2nd. The performers were great, very authentic show. The walk to the bus home was very dark. Think I'd take a luau closer to town next time.

An over the top luau experience on Ohau

Mark_S, Dec 2025
My wife and I had been to several luaus before this one..,but certainly never one better; tasty food & a great show with a spectacular finale 😎

The best luau

Kelly_P, Dec 2025
The best luau! This is the 3rd time I’ve been to Chiefs Luau. Every time I bring someone new to Hawai’i I start by bringing them to this luau. The story telling and the fire show are my favorite part! I’ve been to other luaus and while they are nice, this one is the best!!

Christmas Luau

I had never been to a luau before, but I loved Chiefs luau. It was very entertaining and the food was good.

Great fun!

Such a wonderful night. Great food but even better entertainment! The fire dancing was amazing! Everything about the night was wonderful!

Great show bad traffic

donald_c, Nov 2025
Well we were getting excited for the show but the traffic was really bad and it took about more than than hour to get to the show. So we arrived at the place just felt like a rush time ! The food is great and show was great ! It should be three hours to enjoyed the everything ! It was shorten because we arrived late ! All the luaus should be near Waikīkī area for the tour to avoid the traffic during the business week!
