This is the place to go for a luau and to see a fantastic "tell story"! The entire show has music, tells a story of how the Polynesians came to Kauai and fire dancing. If you want to experience a unique and truly beautiful show, then this is what you need to see. I could watch it everytime I'm on... More

We have been to 3 luaus over the years of visiting HI, and weren't sure we wanted to go to another one. We had a " two for one" with our trip package, and we were very happy we went. The food was good, the grounds were lovely, and we enjoyed looking at the local vendo'rs crafts before the show.... More

The show was fantastic, the food good. They had vendors before the show with local products, all of the drinks you wanted. The fire dancer was fantastic!!! After the show, the dancers were available to talk to and take pictures. More

We had decided against a luau while in Hawaii...but at the last minute, changed our minds. We are SO glad we did. Not only amazing food and cocktails, but the show was fascinating and historical and brilliantly executed and exciting and, and, and....just do yourself a favor, and experience it for yourself. More

We went to this luau as an excursion on NCL's Pride of America. Others chose to go to a "more authentic luau" but I was extremely happy with this show. Before dinner, you can walk the grounds where there are a few performers as well as vendors with a nice selection of gifts available, many hand-made. The bar was open... More

The title says it all. The food was not good at all. The pork, which is the star of the meal was dry and tasted like it had been warmed up from three days before. There was some kind of salmon salad that was horrible and fishy tasting. I was not impressed with anything I ate and I will eat... More

Not your typical luau. It was very theatrical and Broadway like but very enjoyable. Our children loved it. Food was good, drinks and desserts only okay. More

Great traditional Hawaiian food, excellent music, singing, and dancing. The hula and fire dancing was out of this world. Costumes are stunningly beautiful. More

We stayed on the island of Kauai after a one week cruise and booked the Laua from our hotel. The show was impressive and the food was wonderful. It's open air so take a sweater if the evening is cool because the breezes will chill you. The pig roast in the traditional way was very interesting. Don't miss it when... More
