Early morning one was a great choice. Trail is steep in spots and has great views. We were lucky enough to get to see a rainbow when we got to the top. Bring water is a must. Transportation driver was great and very knowledgeable about the island and made it easy to get from hotel to Diamond head. Definitely a must do item.

Great experience

Stephanie_N, May 2026
Such a a great experience!!! And the food was really good!! Good job Chief ! Would 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.

Wasn’t sure about hike but very happy I did it!!

Fantastic luau, friendly courteous and lots of fun. Very entertaining and the food and entertainment is very good.

So worth it!

Melissa_C, May 2026
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!

This luau will leave you with a reverence and respect for the island people.

AJ_W, May 2026
Chief’s Luau is the BEST! It’s a full experience where you learn about the island nations. CHIEF is an educator. If you attend this luau you will not only be entertained you will catch the very essence of the island people. Their values and love for family and their beautiful land. The fire dancers are unlike anything, truly amazing!

Excellent Luau

Jeanette_S, May 2026

Simply The Best!

Suzanne_M, Apr 2026
This was by far the best experience we had while visiting Hawaii. We were so excited to be part of such a wonderful, entertaining, and truly delightful experience. We absolutely loved the Chief and all of the staff—everyone made us feel so welcomed and special. This is a memory we will cherish forever and remember very fondly.

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

Amanda_W, Mar 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!
