Beautiful Luau - Loved this luau! Food was amazing. Drinks are a little expensive but if you are planning to stick to the one complementary drink then you are good. Soft drinks are unlimited. As a family of five I do think it was worth the money! The entertainment was fantastic! It really made us feel like we were fully immersed in Hawaii. We would go back!

Awesome! - The performers were amazing and there wasn't a single bite of the food that wasn't great! We were hoping it would be a major highlight of our trip and it didn't disappoint.

Best Luau experience - My husband and I went with our best friends - we all kept saying how much we really enjoyed the show and the food. The whole experience was worth every penny. My favorite was the singing .Hands down the main singer had a voice of a angel that just hit you with profound empathy and definitely lured you in into their world ! I would recommend the experience to anyone.Plus the food - there was so much and it tasted wonderful.

A wonderful experience - I enjoyed the time with family and learning about the culture and being able to experience different foods and seeing their traditional ways of cooking. If you have never experienced a luau before I would highly recommend this one to anyone who wants to go to one. To the luau Hale Hoaloha I want to say Mahalo for sharing your culture with everyone.

Pure joy - Fabulous night of entertainment. The dancing and story telling exuded pure joy. Every detail was perfect from being warmly greeted and seated to the delicious spread of food. Buffets are not usually my thing but this was excellent. It’s really a must do!

We LOVED this Luau! - Our family of 7 loved the luau! The venue was beautiful. We took advantage of the VIP option and were seated at the front. We were first up at the buffet and the food was delicious and plentiful and we had a wonderful server (thank you, Celeste!). The highlight, though, was the charismatic MC and the show! The storytelling, dancing, songs and fire show were outstanding. Our 5 year old granddaughter even got on stage with other guests and learned a Hawaiian dance. A very special evening for all. 🩷

Luau at the Mauna Lani - The Luau was a lot of fun. The food was excellent as they even had a kids food section for the buffet. The pork from the roast pig was the best. The fire dancer was quite amazing!

100% worth it! - A very well executed, warm, and endearing experience! From the time we stood in line to gain entrance, we were greeted and catered to. Fantastic staff, with great instructions and very thoughtful execution. You are moved from one point to the next ( check in, leis, pictures) then to seating. They bring tables up for food in order so you are not standing in an endless line. The facitlity was immaculately manicured as well. The MC was multi-talented, engaging, and humorous. They culture shared was such a blessing for us to witness. We will definitely be recommending to everyone we know travelling the big island. Mahalo for the wonderful memories and experience!
