Not worth money you can stand outside and watch it for free and as a family of 6 we paid over $700 not worth it

Absolutely wonderful food and a great show!
Definitely recommend but sit closer to observe the show better. There was light rain sprinkled throughout our time at the show which made the experience more magical

The experienced felt rushed and unorganized. Could barley see the stage. Food at the buffet was packed up after 30 minutes. Fireworks where advertised with the show but all guests were told to leave the seating area because the event was over and guests should try to find a space on the beach to view the fireworks. Overall the cost did not match the description.

Not what I remember as a teenager coming. Everyone I spoke to said to schedule with Germaine’s, not the hotel. I’ll know better next time. The pig was dry, the other food was alright, and the drinks were watered down. We paid for premium seating. If you don’t, you won’t see a thing. Won’t book this again.

Large crowd
Good performers
Leis not included
I enjoy a smaller luau with an emphasis on family and culture.

Make sure you get in the correct line. Plan ahead for additional time if you are traveling with young children. Host was great, dances were awesome and crowd interaction wonderful.

Make sure if you buy the Golden Circle tickets you arrive early. The diamond tickets are the first row of tables. The golden circle is seated by place in line. We were 45 minutes early and we were in the second row (barely). Drinks were weak and food was good. It’s a buffet and no sanitizer (so if you care about that, bring your own!) Show was good. Beautiful on the lawn and during sunset.

The luau was an amazing Hawaiian experience! The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, the service was outstanding, and the show was absolutely phenomenal. It was the perfect way to end our trip. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii!

Great Waikiki luau experience. The luau buffet dinner was excellent as well. Enjoyed the dancers/performers while telling their stories and history thru dance and songs.
Chantel_L, Jun 2026
It was wonderful and food was absolutely delicious. The wait wasn’t long at all and the show was spectacular
Rosa_B, Jun 2026
10/10 worth the experience! We feel apart of the community and culture!! Food was amazing as well as the show itself.
Christina_B, Jun 2026
The food was good with a lot of options. The drinks were too strong and not very good. The luau show was entertaining and the fireworks were nice.
Christin_B, Jun 2026
This was a great experience. The food was decent with lots of choices. The dancers in the show were amazing. We choose the Friday night show which comes with a firework display after the show. Great time over all!
Angela_C, Jun 2026
The admission process seemed to be organized. The performers were very engaging and professional. This was my first experience at a Luau, we thought they did a great job!

Family friendly entertainment. Enjoyed the performances, storytelling, good food and Hawaiian music.

Definitely get the diamond premier, well worth the extra money! We had incredible seats and the food was reallly good! The show was even better. What an amazing experience for my daughter and I on our last night of vacay.
Rodney_W, Jun 2026
Good show. Great seats. Fine food. Went on Friday night so we got to see the fireworks afterwards. Wasn't real clear which line to get in for premier seating through Viator but worked out well. Probably wouldn't hurt to arrive 45 min to 1 hour before show time to avoid line up confusion. Would recommend to anyone especially families and groups.

Buy the Premium. Worth every penny. Great seats, but early access, first in line for food, includes drinks, etc.
Susan_O, Jun 2026
It said the show started at 5:30 but they opened the doors at 5:30. We arrived early but it took a long time to get in. By the time we took pictures and were shown to our seat, the activities were already closing. The show was good, if you are in the back it is kind of hard to see the stage. Myself and others at our table stood in the back to get good video. The food was buffet style. It was decent. Some of the trays were empty when we went down the line but after everyone eats you can go back and get more food. It was a nice show but not sure it’s worth the price. Definitely arrive very early to be the first in line so you don’t miss out.

We had to sit far away and could barely see the show....very disappointing since it cost $120 per person.
Lori_L, Jun 2026
Unfortunately , because of weather it was moved inside, so did not feel like we got the ful experience.
Helen_C, Jun 2026
Everything was very nice but since we were seated in the back we weren’t able to see the dancers very well. Everyone in front of us were taking pictures with there cameras it was even harder to look through their phones. Also, better signs on directions and what lines we needed to be in. Everyone was blocking the signed that you had in front of line. Maybe, making in higher so everyone can see it from a distance. That you Helen Chacon
Kelly_H, Jun 2026
We couldn't see the show very well at all from the back, it was hard to hear the announcer, and the food was bland. We were the last to be allowed to get food, and almost everyone was already seated when we were told to go to the buffet line. The chicken teriyaki was very slimy. We barely were able to get dessert as others were taking 3-4 or more desserts and when we got the chance, there wasn't much left and was told that's all they have left.
David_S, Jun 2026
Everything about this Luau was wonderful. We had teenagers, young children, young adults and grandparents everyone had a wonderful time. The food was good and the entertainment was amazing.
Kim_L, Jun 2026
Nice atmosphere but stage should be taller so the people in the back could see better . Good was great and fresh
hyokoya, Jun 2026
The performers were great and the performance was one hour in duration; however, they were not on a stage to allow the audience to have an unobstructed view. The guests who declined the dinner to watch the show only were corralled to the side away from the majority of the diners. The best view was for those that arrived early and paid for the premium dinner. The food looked well prepared and plentiful.
Jamie_M, Jun 2026
The food was great and the entertainment was great. They were very organized accommodating my group of 13. We had a lot of fun!
Jessica_C, Jun 2026
The performers were great. We all loved the dances and the whole show. The food was good. The golden circle does not get you as close to the stage as you think.
Daphne_K, Jun 2026
Be prepared to eat a lot
Lively and entertaining
Well organized
Dancing was excellent
Crafts were personalized
Brenda_H, Jun 2026
I have been here 3 years in a row and this time the show was not as well done as the previous years.
