It was amazing my wife...

Adrian_K, Mar 2023

It was amazing my wife and I first time in Waikiki we will be back soon the luau and food and show was second to none the staff and performers job well done.

Well worth the money!

Rory_T, Mar 2023

The food was excellent. I especially liked the roast pig. The show was different than I expected. It was much more than a hula show, there was an Elvis and a Michael Jackson impersonators that performed. They really got the crowd going.

A Must-Do!

Athenais_A, Mar 2023

From dinner to stage, it’s a wonderful time. The dancers and singers are so welcoming. The whole show was nonstop good times and fun atmosphere!

Fine not comfortable

Brenda_S, Mar 2023

The food was fine. The Rock a Hula show was amazing. The problem was seating. You were crammed in like cattle, could not easily move around to use restroom or even get to buffet line when it was your tables turn. They dance where people could not see because you couldn't turn your chair around. The tables definitely need to be reconfigured before I would go back.

Too fun!

Brad_R, Mar 2023

So much fun. The food was great, fast fire, the dancing and Elvis and Michael to boot. Family friendly.

Fabulous

Darlene_P, Mar 2023

Everything was fabulous from beginning to end. Well worth the money. Food was delicious. Performers were incredible.

Would recommend!

Sarah_W, Mar 2023

Great experience! Good food, and the show was great. The performers were all excellent and it was very entertaining and high energy.

Super Stimulating!

Claudia_R, Mar 2023

Outstanding performance. It was different from the typical luau. The buffet was great and lots of good choices to choose from. Most importantly, my 10 yr old son loved it, especially the impersonators-his fav singers.

Awesome!!

john_m, Mar 2023

The whole show was fantastic Elvis !! Michael Jackson!! Costume were beautiful I would differently recommend to all my family!!!

Not an authentic experience.

Stuart_M, Mar 2023

Not an authentic experience at all. It felt appropriated and contrite. I would not recommend this experience to others

Awesome experience

Marylu_W, Mar 2023

The show was awesome! Better than expected. We were impressed by the fire show and the impersonators were very realistic too .

Not the best

HATAYA_M, Mar 2023

The food wasn’t taste good and expected to have more on Hawaiian food items. The pig and roasted beef way to the back. Why? I went to the show where else, it was much nicer and more interesting. My family expected to see more Hawaiian show than the two popular singers!! Not at this show !!

I purchased the VIP...

Amber_B, Mar 2023

I purchased the VIP tickets which I felt like there was nothing VIP about the luau. Everyone ate at the same time, everything was the same as the other attendees. There was only a few options of cocktails & the beer choice was cheap. The performers only went to one side of the audience.

Great pork with a side of Fire dancing

Brandt_E, Mar 2023

The pork was fantastic. Salmon/tomato dish so-so. Ok desserts. The show was ok- sort of like Branson, Mo. Except for the fire dancing guy. He was phenomenal. Really neat, and worth waiting through the Ok performances that preceded it.

Glad we went

Joyce_M, Mar 2023

The show was amazing. The entertainment was great. The food was just ok. Little bland. Little disappointed in it. The fruit for dessert was really good and fresh.

The whole experience was a lovely way to spend an evening. The venue was nice, the meal was very good, and the entertainment great! The show wasn’t what we expected, but we really enjoyed it! The staff was great!
