Entertaining! - The show was very entertaining and enjoyable from the outdoor setting, scenery, dancing, live musicians, MC/host, costumes. The service was excellent as well. It was a very pleasant experience I’d share with others in the future. The MC was fun, engaging, witty, quick on his feet. He included all of the audience and he shared Hawaiian words and tidbits. We were a large group and he repeatedly referred to us as the San Diego group. The dancing skill and experience showed. Great variety with the different dance styles and having both female and male dancers. Loved the colorful costumes. The show length was perfect … not too short and not too long. I’d definitely see the show again! Mahalo nui loa for a fantastic show!

Nā Lei Aloha Absolutely Spectacular! - I took a party of 15 to see Nā Lei Aloha on the last night of a 10 day trip to O’ahu. It was a perfect evening in a beautiful setting at Waikīkī. A beautiful energetic show-with talented dancers, stunning costumes, amazing musicians! The MC was like a ring master, keeping the show moving and keeping the audience engaged! Nā Lei Aloha is a can’t miss show!

Educational and beautifully entertaining! - It's such a unique show because it's a HULA show. I love that it's also educational, sharing the meaning and history of LEI. The choreography is beautiful. I really enjoyed that the numbers ranged from kahiko, to 'auana and to hapa hula medlies. It offers a very different experience as opposed to that of other Waikiki or lū'au shows as this is strictly HULA; so yes a different pace but a beautiful experience. The musicians are talented - the touch of live music elevates the show. I think it's very beneficial for tourists to come and see, to learn as they are entertained. A great concept, beautifully presented and looking forward to the growth of this new production!

Need to go! - Definitely not your typical Luau shows that you’ll see. More so traditional Hula songs and dances. The host Mana was very good! Interactive and liked the fact he got the crowd engaged. Really liked how they included the colors for the Islands in their dances. As a local, I appreciated the King/Queen part. If possible tho. Maybe have a Pupu option

Go Check’um Go! - Awesome Show in beautiful Waikiki. Across the beach and under the beautiful night sky. The show didn’t feel like a typical Lu’au show. Who ever created the show, made it feel as if you were sitting around your tutu as she told you stories of life in Hawaii. It showcased the other Hawaiian islands and the king and queen. If you get the chance, Go Check’um Out! My favorite part of the show was the hula about the Pikake flower. When the hula dancers, dance around the audience, the smell of the beautiful flower filled the air. It was so magical.

An Authentic Luau In The Midst Of Waikiki - A fantastic performance! We did the Show Only option with cocktails. From the greeters at check in, the picture worthy entrance (be sure to get a picture under the sign adorned with flower leis), the dancers and story line, and even some Hawaiian language lessons, the show kept you enthralled as Mana, the emcee, took you thru a story of Hawaii. A cozy comfy setting under the Hawaiian moon and stars along Waikiki Beach, in a venue that feels like an authentic backyard luau. A must see! BRAVO!

GREAT Luau - This is an AMAZING show. It's a smaller venue, so you don't feel lost in a crowd. The cast of the show makes you feel like you are part of them. I highly recommend it. The food is wonderful. I LOVED the prime rib.

Must-see authentic Hawaiian experience. - What an experience. Upon arrival, we were given the warmest greeting and treated with true Aloha. Walked through a photo-worthy entry to the seating area which overlooks the iconic Waikiki beach during sunset. We had the dinner package and I've gotta tell you that the choices and quality were AMAZING! All you can eat local favorites along with prime rib and crab. Everyone was thrilled. Being serenaded with strolling musicians and beautiful hula soloists set the tone for what we knew would be a truly Hawaiian experience. This is what we were looking for - an authentic Hawaiian encounter that wasn't commercialized and told the story from the perspective and traditions of the people of that land. The show swept us back and through the Hawai'i of yesteryear with its smooth storytelling and transitions through points of significance in Hawaii's history. The music was heavenly and the hula was absolutely first rate. It was refreshing and thrilling to see the caliber of Hawaiian musicians and dancers who did Hawai'i and her culture proud. This is a must-see experience for malihini (visitors) and Kama'aina (locals) alike. Mahalo nui for upholding the traditions and history of Hawai'i through mele and hula!!

Fun ending to our Oahu trip - I was looking for a hula dancing experience for my family that included confirmed seating. I noticed that Kilohana (who perform hula several times per week as a free performance on Waikiki beach) had this event; the Na Lei Aloha fit the bill! I also like that it is an endeavor associated with a Hawaiian non-profit (Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement). It was just the right duration of show. The dancers were wonderful and the musicians providing nearly constant live music brings the show to the next level. The singers’ voices were amazing. The venue is small, but it is just right for the nature of show, and all seats have a good view. Bring sunglasses if you are there for dinner as the sun is low enough to be in your eyes if you are seated facing the beach. I would give 4.5/5 but cannot give 5/5 as it was difficult to understand the MC’s narration more often than not—so we missed some nuances of the show. Fortunately this did not take away from ability to enjoy or appreciate the performance - it was carried well by the music and dancing. Thank you for choosing me for that aromatic flower lei gift—unexpected, lovely, and beautiful.

Absolutely loved it. - I’ll start with the only problem i noticed. And that is, the fact that the venue was to small for such a great show. Still a beautiful atmosphere but belongs on full stage. From the dancers to musicians and the hilariously talented mc mana it was such an experience. The story line of the show flowed well but the DANCERS truly brought the to life. As a seasoned entertainer i appreciate the value of story telling and flirting with the eyes. Show hack, I believe if you pay for the buffet separately and eat just before the show it’s cheaper than paying for the dinner and show package. Also there’s no time limit to how long you eat.
