Amazing performers - Terrific food and the entertainment was phenomenal. Good value for the price. We bought the VIP package so the waiters delivered our food to us which was a huge plate with about 15 different food items (as opposed to standing in line which was long but then you could pick your own dishes). The package included 2 alcoholic beverages per adults and unlimited non-alcoholic. Family friendly dancers, actors and musicians. It was really good! Surpassed our expectations (and have attended lauas before).

Must Do while in Hawaii - Wonderful entertainment! Great food!! Easy to get to. Parking at this time of night was easy compared to Day time Parking. Beachfront event but within a fenced in area ... only downfall of whole night.

First luau was a great experience. - They did a great job of giving me a entertaining and yet educational experience by the stories that they told through dance, music, and explaining the dance and there meanings.

Polynesian Hospitality - The food was excellent. The dancers (hulu, fire twirling) were amazing. It was nice to visit with the entertainers after the show. Everyone was willing to let us take pictures with them.

Amazing night ! - The entertainment was amazing and the performers interacted a lot with the audience. It was definitely a more intimate crowd compared to other luaus we have been to. We watched the beautiful sunset while having dinner. Thanks for an amazing night!!

10/10 Best Luau - Loved the activities you could do, we made our headbands, bracelets. You learn about musical instruments. The food was delicious!!! Its a buffet style and so make sure you try a little of everything. 🤌🤌 The cultural dances and the stories they told were so beautiful. Thr fire at the end sealed the deal. Definitely recommend! The sunset was beautiful.

Overpriced entertainment - Great entertainers, the hosts were funny and engaging. The coconut (niu) mythological story-theme was told to death then resurrected and retold. The venue direction was lacking parking instruction and where to check in. Basically a sub-par buffet in the park. Don't pay for anything but VIP, but if you do, it's overpriced. Try a different venue.

PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE! - I hate to say this but BUYER BEWARE. I am shocked this has any good reviews to be honest. 1. Parking - there was zero parking at or near the aquarium. We ended up parking 1.3 miles away and walking 2. Odd check in, just handed you leis for your party and sent you through a gate 3. They ran out of plates and napkins. Hurried over paper plates that fell (we managed to get ONE napkin for our party of 6). Ran out of forks, eventually got plastic forks. We felt like an absolute afterthought / lower class and it was embarrassing. 4. Food probably would have been good but it was cold. Cold chicken, cold pork, cold curry. Such a bummer. The cold poke that was served on ice was good as well as the desserts. 5. Advertised as beach front...the ocean is behind you but in front of your view all around is a big black metal fence so.... 7. Large part of performance was very cheesy and commercialized. The dancers came out in sequence and the hosts acted like you were on the price is right. We have been to multiple Luaus before and have ALWAYS had great experiences. This was painful. At one point one of the dancers even fell over a table in the back of the venue and one of the drummers took a selfie with another drummer on their cellphone in the middle of the show. 8. Fire dancers were awesome. Performers were genuinely kind and took pictures with people. Overall: Feel scammed.
