Great "Family" like Luau - My wife and I decided to take our honeymoon after 7 years of marriage (it took a while between saving for a Hawaii trip and COVID). We stayed at Aulani and decided to try the Toa Luau primarily because we wanted to support a local native owned business. The show was spectacular and we had a wonderful luau experience. Not to mention the luau included access to a nice hike and waterfall. The food was ok and authentic, overall value for this Luau is pretty good. Would definitely recommend for others and we plan to return for a future anniversary visit to Hawaii. FYI, most of the performers also do double duty with food/music service for the Luau. There's definitely a close family owned experience with this Luau.

So much for one price! - The luau ticket includes not only food and entertainment, but also a path through a botanical garden that leads to Waimea Falls and cultural activities as well. There are a gift shop, snack bar, and outdoor bar, too. This show is appropriate for families with children.

Happy vibes - Wonderful wonderful wonderful. We were welcomed into the family! Thank you so much for the laughs and the smiles and happy feelings. Thank you for sharing with us. Ask for more food and they’ll serve the whole platter! Sad my group didn’t have the time to go around the gardens but we definitely were in a magical place. Bring bug spray!

Tao Luau is a must see, great show ever. - Tao Luau exceeded my expectations ! I am one who have been to lots of cultural shows and have noticed in most that presenters were doing their acts because it was their job. But, the whole Tao luau experience showed the staff are there for the guests. They welcomed us with warm smile with the fresh lei to our seats. Predinnet outdoor activities were very interactive and fun, making the coconut headdress, local way of shredding coconut and peeling taro. There was demo of climbing coconut tree, cooking with rocks. Dinner was good with lots of food, they even offer seconds to hungrier guests. I enjoyed most was the hula/tahitian /war/fire dances representing different ethnic cultures. The male and female dancers were all awesome and looked beautiful and genuinely happy at what they do. The emcee was funny and the 12 yr old boy who did the fire dance was exceptionally impressive. All the dancers and staff were beautiful and awesome. I enjoyed every minute of the show. Overall, this was a great experience, a must do and Tao Luau was most impressive through and through. The great presenters were genuine and authentic for guests to have a great time. .

We're all family - Loved the "family" inclusion of the event. Such fun learning how the food is prepared, how palm leaves are braided, and the fire is prepared. The banana from the fire was not to my liking.....very dry.

Great night for everyone! - This luau was so much fun!!! My husband and I had a great time! They involved the crowd in a lot of the night’s festivities, the emcee was hilarious, the show was awesome and the food was really good. What more could you ask for? Would definitely attend again if we ever go back to Oahu.
