Te Au Moana, which means the ocean tide, has long been a steady presence across Oceania, linking our islands, communities, and generations. Our Polynesian forebears navigated these ocean tides for centuries and held them in high regard for their life-giving qualities.

One of the highlights of our family trip! - We had a fabulous time at the Luau. The food was incredible, as well as the drinks which were included in the price. The location and views were to die for. We travelled with our 22 month old, high chairs/boosters were provided, she happily ate the food provided, was amazed by the show, and had plenty of room to run around.
I would absolutely recommend doing this to anyone. All the staff were so friendly, and could not have been more helpful.

Great experience. Terrible direction. - Good luck finding where to go and park. Address through GPS lead us 4 blocks away and guard knew that we needed help. So this wasn't anything new.
Then there were absolutely no signs directing us where to park or where to go after we parked.
After that, the show, dinner, and experience was awesome. I will definitely go again now that I know where to go.

Worth it! - Really enjoyed our experience at the luau. The food was family style and it was delicious. They had crafts and activities for the kids. The drinks were included in the price. The entertainers were funny and super talented. They also had local artisans on site selling necklaces, bags, hair accessories and wooden carvings. The setting was beautiful overlooking the setting sun.

Island celebration - The location was absolutely beautiful and the show was phenomenal!
The food was good and plentiful, service was very attentive. The service at the bar needs an upgrade 2 servers for about 300 people. Extremely slow took nearly 20 minutes to get 2 drinks.

Luau was great, lots of... - Luau was great, lots of food and open bar. Show was wonderful. Location was dreamy. Show was a little longer than my 8&9 year old had an attention span for. We had to sit at a table with another family. That creates its own different dynamic which we couldn’t control fully.

Sensational!! - The culture, history, costumes, dancing, music, singing and food were all truly spectacular! I’m beyond happy that my wife and I got to witness this beautiful and fun experience with the sunset and ocean as a backdrop on our honeymoon. I highly recommend Te Au Moana to anyone seeking an unforgettable luau.

Just an OK Luau - I have attended at least 6 Luaus and thus one was mediocre. Food was not much to rave about and performances were OK but not fantastic. They had difficulty getting the audience to interact and did not get much excitement from the audience. We even left early before the show ended.
