Peacocks roaming everywhere, lush gardens, fountains and lakes.What more could you ask for? We had lots of fun. If you are looking for a intimate luau this is not the one for you. It is loud just like a big ol family reunion. Food was great. Poi was aweful. As it should be. Oye. The show was really nice. A... More

We decided to have dinner elsewhere, so we were very happy to have the option to only attend the show. The show was good, but the fire dancer hit the ball out of the park. This was a fun way to spend an evening.

Wow. Where do I start. Great tram ride around acres of beautiful gardens, Emu ceremony, open bar, excellent meal, wonderful entertainment during dinner and an excellent performance in their theater after dinner. Everything was friendly and very efficiently handled.

I had never been to a luau and this one was recommended by the concierge. It had an authentic family feel to it. They don't open the bar until after the conk-horn ceremony. There is also a blessing before the meal. The food is OK, good to buffet-fair. My wife is a vegan. There was very little for her to... More

The staff was very helpful and quite accommodating. They made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The staff even arranged for me to get a ride in a golf cart to the... More

I really enjoyed the meal and the entertainment. I'd certainly recommend this for others. They went over the various peoples who have settled into Hawaii and each of their various dances and traditions - by dance. It was cool.

The luau is set on a really neat garden with tons of peacocks and other birds and even goats and a bull! Its fun to walk around and look at the different trees and plants and wildlife (or you can take a tram tour if you don't want to walk the loop, it takes about 15 minutes to walk though,... More
