A very entertaining Friday evening with a great variety of small plates adding up to more than a full meal. The performers were awesome. I don't know about other days of the week, but Foody Friday you definitely do not need the VIP package - it adds nothing to the experience but putting you at the picnic tables closest to the stage. However, some of the proceeds have to go to the aquarium so consider it a donation.

Food was fabulous and great dancers. Everyone in our group enjoyed the show and would recommend it and the bonus was it was walking distance from our hotel.

One of the reasons to come to Hawaii is to get the flower lei. But if you want that you have purchase the most expensive package, which is not worthy. We came for the show and for the flower lei. I wanted the flowers lei and pictures taken with the show performances but because the package that we chose they didn’t give us the flowers. I chose the less expensive because we didn’t want the big buffet we wanted the fire show but they didn’t give us the flowers I was just so madly furious. They could at least offer to sell it. Also the show was no very good, the only good was the warriors with the fire but you have to wait all the way until the end. The layout is horrible everybody is on top of everyone. A lady back up and drop my drink. It is just very confusing you have to get you tickets in one area but enter in another there was no directions. The guy start climbing the coconut tree without announcing it. Very unprofessional they don’t open the restrooms until the main show start other ways you have to go out enter the aquarium then come back to the waiting area. They said at the beach. But their is fences so you can’t walk to the beach. Just disappointed with the description.

Totally enjoyed the entertainment. Not sure of the authenticity of the food after talking to people who live there and are of the culture. Lots of the entertainment was educational.

Sooo expensive and while the food was okay (desert was minuscule) the entertainment was lame. The gentleman who posed with guests for an obligatory photo was terribly disinterested. The photos were some of the poorest developed I have seen - badly over exposed. But what really caused the 2 star rating was the entertainment. Not so much the ability of the dancers, which was quite good, but the constant call from the compare for the audience to repeat all these Hawaiian words after him. I’m not opposed to this in moderation but some of it was senseless, continual repetition. He needs to investigate a range of ways for audience participation. And the costumes!! I would have thought the reason most people attend these luaus is to appreciate the traditional customs of Hawaii’s natives. Why do we then see the performers in candy coloured outfits with pom poms that one would expect in a group of cheer leaders??
Not sure what it is like now, but 6 years ago I attended a luau in Maui at the Sheraton, and although it had a much bigger crowd it was a fabulous occasion with far more traditional costumes, routines and music. Did I mention how expensive this was!!

We had a great time. I really liked the cultural experiences. I had fun making my lei bracelet and palm head band.
Our Hotel was less then 1/2 mile away so we were able to enjoy a nice walk along the beach and park lined sidewalk to and from the Luau.

The show was great and the MC was really funny. We were told to get there at 5.30pm even though people were already eating and the activities listed for us to do were just on finishing as the show was about to start. We were supposed to get after hours access to the aquarium but it was closed !!! for $700.00 AUS$ for 4 adults, it was pretty ordinary and not well run. A drink on arrival was either orange/pinapple juice mixed together or a Mai Thai - drinks from the bar after that were $30.00 for a pineapple with something in it or water. No wine or beer available. Food was good but again, fairly average for the price.

The food was tasty, although they were a little disorganized on plates & flatware. Loved the history and humor put into the show. I recommend it!
