This was my first luau and I loved it. The rain, drizzle, was definitely unexpected but it didn’t stop us from enjoying our time or the dancers from smiling and keep going. The only downside was the location I think. I think the show and dinner was worth each penny but I hated that so many got to see the show for free by simply standing on the above decks of the mall. I really would have preferred that the show was set up for only paying customers

This Luau was so much fun! The MC kept the crowd engaged throughout with his energy and by swinging by each of the tables to say hi. Early on, we had the opportunity to learn different Polynesian cultural activities. Then we had a delicious dinner and were welcome to seconds, which we took full advantage of. Lastly, there was the show- which was fantastic! There were many great dances and the final act of the show was a great finish. This is a great value activity that I'd recommend for visitors to Waikiki.

Did not feel like a real luau experience. Very disappointed
Was expecting a real luau and this is not even close

Somehow, after reading earlier reviews, I did not realize that this was a luau in the middle of a shopping mall. The entertainers were wonderful and we got a good sense of some cultural background, and the food was decent.

It was a great time. I was a little nervous after seeing it was inside the mall but the host did a great job at making us feel comfortable. It was also an intimate sized group so we felt very welcomed. If highly recommend it as it was a 5 minute walk from our hotel as well.

A representation of each island was good to see and learn
Able to learn a skill and showcase in front of the crowd was fun
Mai Tai was delicious

It was during some heavy rains so it was an anomaly. The show must go on right? Tents were lazily placed. Within 30 min of the luau, the water built up on the tent, sending it crashing down. I believe no one got seriously hurt but this shouldn’t have gotten this far. The money makes the poor decisions in this industry and costs the tourists their hard earned money for sub par experiences. A refund was promised so let’s see. I’m sure it can be fun in good weather so don’t want to knock them for that. Just the decision to collect money rather than actually take care of customers

The photos are edited-the actual show looks nothing like this. The only reason for the positive reviews is the bar offers a “free gift” if you show them a review you wrote, so don’t trust the others! It is in a mall, under cheap, dirty tents and sitting at cramped, uncomfortable tables. We weren’t even welcomed or escorted to our table. When we walked in after waiting in the mall for 25 mins they pointed to a table where people were already seated and we had to ask them to rearrange so we could sit together. The “cultural activities” were already underway I guess and some fruit was in a corner with cheap paper cups. No one attempted to explain what was happening. We tried to make the best of it, but were not invited to join an activity or offered anything. We got drinks after waiting 10 mins at the bar. Finally the “show” started and I guess that was ok…a guy made some jokes and the people who had gotten there early and learned the “cultural activities” were invited up to show off their new skills. Boring and uninteresting, nothing explained as far as cultural significance. Dinner was served cattle call style and that was adequate. The food wasn’t awful but there wasn’t even a knife to cut the tough chicken. Line for bar continued to be 10 mins long. The show started again after everyone had gone through the line-again boring and uninformative. Didn’t learn a thing, no atmosphere, cheaply done. If this was $50 a person I’d say maybe go if you can’t do another luau. But this was absurdly overpriced for a pathetic display. I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company-photo proof the photos on viator are AI. I’m so disappointed we wasted our luau on this!

The best part was the dancers and the fire twirlers. The drummers were really good too. Cons: The food wasn't good and the angle of the tables made it hard to see the performance. It's inside the mall, but they have it blocked off from everyone else.

Great luau. The first one I had ever been to, and it had a good mix of culture and entertainment. The food was delicious. The MC of the luau was fabulous. When me and my friend first walked in, we both were like interesting place and aren’t too sure however once everything got going, and the show went on, the environment was perfect. If you’re looking for a small, smaller more intimate venue, this is the luau to go to. Bonus, when the show was all over the host, stood at the exit and shook everyone’s hand thanking them for coming. A very special touch.

Love the interaction between the host and the audience. I especially enjoyed the way the host came off the stage to speak with every guest. A very welcoming feeling. The show was jaw dropping, a real nail biter! Quite exciting. Great job. Look forward to revisiting again soon!

Should have been $75
..... wasnt worth the. price we paid, didnt know it was in the mall! Lol very talented cast tho and appreciated the effort.
Lorraine_M, Mar 2026
Entertainment was great Food was great. Loved the crowd interaction with the guests. The staff was polite and friendly.
Lee_K, Mar 2026
Show was phenomenal; dinner was unexceptional. I was expecting a traditional Hawaiian meal; we got chicken, chow mein and mac-n-cheese. Not quite worth the cost!
Hollee_C, Mar 2026
This was a great experience! Great food, incredible performances. It was a little harder to find than expected, but it was really great!
Kari_A, Mar 2026
Great Entertainment! Would do it again. Very impressive performance and the native dancers were fantastic. Food was less than but the entertainment made it worth it.
Kelly_B, Feb 2026
you should specify this is i a mall that part was very disappointing otherwise it was great! definitely need a different venue
Jackie_M, Feb 2026
It’s not worth the money. Go to a real luau on a beach. Food and show was horrible.
You can see a free show if you show up to the mall at the time of the show.
Linda_H, Feb 2026
It was really fun, interactive and cool! We brought our grandson and he loved it!! And the price can’t be beat.
Lisa_T, Feb 2026
Not what we expected. Didn’t realize the show was inside a mall. Food was served was ok. Show was good, though it started out as more of a variety show. Don’t think it was worth the money we spent. Would tell anyone to do more research before booking a luau
Robert_M, Feb 2026

Ponnarasi_R, Jan 2026

Judy_B, Nov 2025
It was absolutely more than I had hoped for ! They made us feel like we were part of every single thing that was going on ! My grandson and I sat at the very front of the stage and it was amazing !

Guitar playing was great but he didn't need to sing. Pork had very little flavor, chicken was good. Didn't care for curried vegetables.
Teresa_N, Sep 2025
Close to hotel, no need for transportation. Very entertaining, we very much enjoyed it. The dancers were mesmerizing. Just loved it all.
Melissa_P, Sep 2025
The experience was nice the Luau was great and the host was very friendly. The only thing we did not like was it was in the mall and we paid close to $300 and people in the mall got to watch for free just didn’t pay for the dinner. So they got to see a whole show looking from the second and third floor.
Danielle_S, Sep 2025
As a luau, it was just OK. It is held in a mall type setting and so people are watching from the mall for free which is a little annoying when you pay over $150. This one doesn’t really seem to tell a story, but tells about different islands in the Pacific. Also, they had technical difficulties with the equipment, which kind of took away from the vibe and took about 15 min to resolve.
Jim_H, Sep 2025
The host Tama Tama and all the Ohana, with their personal interaction, make seeing live traditional dance and fire stick handling a true enjoyment in fulfilling and worthwhile Hawaiian experience.
