Such a fun luau experience! 🌸🍹🔥 - We had a wonderful experience at the Pā‘ina Waikiki Luau! Immediately when we arrived and we were greeted with a complimentary lei and felt warmly welcomed and immersed in Hawaiian hospitality. We purchased the VIP tickets, which were absolutely worth it — they included extra cocktails, and the Mai Tais were strong, delicious, and perfectly tropical, they also offered plenty of other cocktail options for those who don't like a fruity drink. The buffet featured a variety of local dishes — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The evening included just the right amount of storytelling about Hawai‘i’s history, which added depth and meaning to the performances. The highlight of the night was definitely the fire show — absolutely mesmerizing and full of energy! The performers were incredibly talented and kept the audience captivated from start to finish. The entire event was well-organized, entertaining, and a true celebration of Hawaiian culture. The MC was fantastic, keeping out attention the whole time. Highly recommend this luau to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic evening in Waikiki!

Great Experience - The food was delicious, and really enjoyed the show, we stayed at a sister hotel Sheraton Waikiki and decided to walk under 1 mile to Marriott Waikiki, paid for the VIP tickets, which included a lei and 3 drinks of your choice, which was plenty for us. Would do this again.

1rst Luau Expierence - We did the VIP seating. We were literally second couple from front. Very warm and engaging group. The meal was just decent. Buffet style. The dancers , band and singers very good. All their smiles help. At the end they took time to take personal pictures with whomever wanted which was real nice. Waitresses circled around and made sure our drinks were full. All in all good experience for a first time Luau.
