The show was lively and entertaining with good audience engagement. The program is well organized and entry was handled very smoothly. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I felt the luau was a waste of time and money. The food was horribly bad, you get free drink tickets but somehow have to pay $24 extra plus the free drink ticket for an alcohol drink in a pineapple…there are other drinks for cheaper plus your free drink coupon, the stage was right in front of the sun so sun was beaming in our eyes. I have video of the stage and sun facing us, I felt like there was more talking about the history rather than dances, you purchase the photos they take of you and they cost $50. I would have thought for almost $500 for 3 people the pictures could have been included. Also I thought it would be on the beach but it’s at a harbor so no beach background. I feel it was way overly priced for such a bad experience. My oldest son did tell me it was a waste of money but I guess I had to see for myself. My party ended up leaving the luau early and catching an uber instead of shuttle because the shuttle took us an hour to get there and uber took us 12 min and only $15 so we could go get food before heading back to the hotel to pack.

It was a nice show but the food was not good. There was no ocean view. For the price, it could have been better. I would tell someone to go to another luau. It was not worth it.
Maria_R, Jul 2026
Fun interactive activities, great performances, delicious food! Would highly recommend, 10/10 hands down 🌺🧡
Richard_P, Jun 2026
I think it would be a perfect show and a perfect activity is for children , but not for grown Adults in my opinion.It's not what I expected at all.Awesome food?I mean , really awesome food that's about it
Royukita_S, Jun 2026
This was such a great show with much history, talent, love, peace, and professionalism!! Loved it and hate to see when it was over!!!
Ashlea_N, Jun 2026
Would NOT recommend this at all! Even at a fraction of the highly inflated price they charge, we would have been disappointed. First of all, advertising it as “oceanfront” is an absolute LIE. The ocean is nearby, but you can’t see it from anywhere on the property, as there is chain link fencing all around it. Next, the activities are so jam packed, with lines that last forever and they close them down fairly quickly where a lot of people didn’t get to enjoy them. Also, please do not be mislead by the verbiage of “drink ticket”-you’re not getting free drinks with those, though you get a “discount” with them. It’s just an absolute SCAM of an event! The food was backyard bbq style on styrofoam plates, flies swarming all the indistinguishable food, 2/4 of us had hair in our food, and it was just disgusting! We stayed about 45 minutes and left to go eat an actual dinner somewhere else. The performers were lovely and talented, but unfortunately they are overshadowed by the scam of an event everything else is. BUYER BEWARE!

The dancing and performing was amazing. However, the view says ocean, but it’s really not an ocean you could see from your seat seats. We didn’t enjoy the food, it was mediocre, but the service was great. Even the drinks were just OK, it had nothing to do with the staff, but the quality of the products were lacking.
Juan_T, Jun 2026
The show itself was ok, the food offered was disgusting, and the sitting arrangement despite of my upgrade was not of my satisfaction
Khyati_D, Jun 2026
The dances and the show were good but the food was not. It was cold...not too many choices for vegetarians.
deborah_t, Jun 2026
A lot of fun, interactive, good food, good show. The back ground scenes were a nice surprise. The staff was super friendly.
Anthony_B, Jun 2026
If I could give this negative stars I would.
Don’t be fooled this experience is NOT worth what they are charging.
For the price save the money and go to the beach or out to eat.
The venue is not ocean front,
Everyone’s packed in like sardines, I’ve seen better shows at a high school musical.
Put it like this, we left 40 mins into the show and it’s supposed to be a 2 hr event!
Definitely not worth the money. And after booking they offered an “upgrade” on seating.
The seating is a bunch of picnic tables bunched together and there is 0 difference.
Total waste of money and time.
Sadly it’s the only negative experience throughout my wife and I whole vacation.
There’s no organization, the staff even show that they don’t want to be at the venue or involved.
If I could take it back I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Save your self the money and the disappointment.

Absolutely incredible! The Ka Moana Lūʻau at Aloha Tower was the perfect blend of Hawaiian culture, breathtaking oceanfront views, and top-notch entertainment. The performers were phenomenal, the food was delicious, and the entire experience felt warm, authentic, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Oahu, this is a must-do experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime!
Brenda_L, Jun 2026
It was a very nice, well done experience. I liked learning about the different cultures on the different islands.
Sydney_P, Jun 2026
That calling it oceanfront is false advertising and placing guests in seats where sun shines right in their eyes?so stage not visible is not a good idea. The "under construction" and fake turf not good and it would have been nice to eat in peace rather than the host yelling in the Mike. The saving grace and absolutely enjoyable part was the dancing and fire. The performers were fabulous. Was disappointed in all else, especially for the price
Scott_F, Jun 2026
Show was very nice. Weird location. Oceanfront suggested something different to most. Very understaffed. Long lines for drinks in the heat of the setting sun. Staff was friendly and doing all they could.
Rhonda_P, Jun 2026
The food was delicious, the dancers were so energetic, entertaining, and smiling the whole time!!
Wonderful luau show!
Lorena_M, Jun 2026
Great entertainment! We were upgraded to a better table since we were close enough to walk and wouldn’t need transportation. The alcohol line was very long, it was hot and humid.
Norma_A, Jun 2026
The bus that picked us up for the event got us there late and we had to wait at the end of a long line while they gave us wristbands and drink tickets. When we got inside we had to rush the activities and wait in another line for drinks. The food was almost running out when got in line again. The bread ran out.
The show was nice. But didn’t really enjoy the whole event.
Melinda_Z, Jun 2026
Was confusing as to which line you needed to be in to get in. Once the show started it was good. The preshow was okay. Food was decent.
Paula_R, Jun 2026
Very nice show and the food was good however it was not beachfront as advertised. Had we known it was not beachfront we would have gone to the luau available at the hotel we are staying at.
Tiffany_R, Jun 2026
The show was great. Dancing and costumes were amazing. Food was just ok and the cafeteria set up was very underwhelming. We were supposed to get 2 drinks per person but any tropical drinks cost like 15 dollars extra. The line was very long even though we were there 15-20 min early. Cultural activities felt rushed. I upgraded and paid extra for real flower lei necklaces but the men were given an upgraded shell instead. Also, it started raining and there was no covering. For what I paid for a family of 4 the experience was somewhat disappointing.
Erin_S, Jun 2026
The dancers and the show in general was great. Would have loved to see more fire dancing. The surroundings were nice but rained on us. The price you pay overall is not reflected in the food or the variety that is offered. Bad value for a meal. I will definitely look for another option next time.
Tony_Z, Jun 2026
It’s very organized, definitely use the pick up /return service, it’s worth it. The parking is valet & the line to get cars was very long . The show is really good and incorporates different periods of time in Hawaii. The food was good, not mind blowing but good buffet food. They include the audience in the show as well so it’s fun for everyone.
George_N, Jun 2026
Very entertaining. Contained all the elements you would expect from a lu aw: singing, dancing, costume changes, tiki lamos, fire twirling, nice exhibits with hands on learning, excellent food. All around great experience. Live music. Only thing was it was not on the beach, but on a Harbor with big ships. Kids seemed to really like itvtoo.
Jennifer_M, Jun 2026
Such a great show! Our kids ages 13, 11, and 8 were engaged the whole time. We loved the interactive activities at the beginning and the show was amazing!
Channah_C, Jun 2026
Very entertaining and fun. My kid loved the activities. Headbraided, stamps, torch lessons (without fire), and wrist flowers. All of the people were super friendly and sweet. And wow are the woman just gorgeous. Men weren't too shabby either hehe.
Jessi_B, Jun 2026
Loved all the entertainment and activities. Didn’t like that it wasn’t on the beach and I had to pay extra for “better seating” that I didn’t receive. Transportation was great. Wasn’t a bad show but I pictured something a little more Hawaii authentic!
Monica_G, Jun 2026
My seats were so close to the stage that I couldn’t My seats were so close to the stage that I couldn’t enjoy the performance. Additionally, my table was set for three people on one side and three on the other. They added a high chair to the table, which was so high that it was uncomfortable for me to eat. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
Renee_R, May 2026
Be prepared for passing showers , bring a hat! We had a couple of small showers but it didn’t stop the performers from putting on an exciting show.
