Traveler Tips

We chose to include transportation which was a great idea especially since taxis and ubers are pretty expensive around the island.

I would pay a little extra for the Paradise package which includes 2 drinks and optimal seating; we sat right in the middle and had a great view of everything.

If you drive start earlier because the rush hour traffic getting there is horrible.

If you ever get a chance to go, just go. It’s very awesome; the food, staff, and drinks were 10 out of 10 highly recommend

Big thanks to the Chief and his crew

Randy_M, Sep 2023

Chief is very funny and engaging. His dancers perform well and the various dances they perform demonstrate different Polynesian cultures. The fire dancing at the end in front of the waterfall back drop is worth the price of admission alone. Food was good too 🤙🏻

Pulled pork

Luau Memories and Laughs

Marigrace_M, Sep 2023

The Chief’s Luau was an amazing experience for my family. Hearing my 13 year old daughter who is teenage difficult to engage laugh hysterically while her brother got on stage to dance was joyful. We also thoroughly enjoyed watching my son sweat up a storm to become the fire starting champion for the evening in a team effort with his girlfriend. The MaiTais were delicious as well as the phenomenal pig roast. All around wonderful family experience for these New Yorkers first time to Hawaii!

Great night for the whole family

Nicholas_D, Sep 2023

We purchased the paradise package and it was well worth it. The food was great and there was plenty of it. The whole show was very entertaining. The chief was an amazing host- a great blend of excellent comedic timing, cultural education & very heartfelt moments. The dancers & fire dancers were very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Fun times with the Chief

Jonathan_W, Sep 2023

Excellent show, friendly staff, decent food. Mai Tai drink greeting was nice. Recommend the hollowed pineapple with a drink of your choice.

Chief’s Luau

Dana_C, Sep 2023

The show was amazing!!!! Thanks Chief! We loved the pineapple drinks and the food was okay. Very windy.

Dancing

Gail_N, Sep 2023

The dancing, the food was not good. The rain was cold & unpleasant. Most of all you said check in at one time, it was 30 minutes late

Loved it!

Jessica_P, Sep 2023

We had a great time! Chief was so entertaining and funny and we loved all the food and the whole show. I would definitely recommend this luau. The Waterpark location isn't as weird as I imagined it might be :)

Funny, entertaining, good food.

MarcyCruz, Sep 2023

Each person was given a handmade headband. Chief was funny and everyone was entertaining!! Lots of food available.
