This was a ok trip my elen yr old boy was not interested my 7yr old daughter was entertained. There wasn't much to do couple activity but nothing really major first time going.
We have experienced at least a half dozen Luaus over the years on different islands and this by far jumps to the top of the list. Staff was friendly, food good, entertainment was exceptional! Fresh flower lei upon arrival! Activities to participate in with the performers was a bunch of fun prior to the event. Parking can be challenging at The Aquarium. We walked from our hotel and enjoyed the walk home after. They did have cabs available. My big complaint is that I booked thru Viator and had a confirmed reservation and number. But when we checked in at the event we were not on the guest list. Somewhere communication failed between Viator and the company. There was room that they could accommodate us, but that may not always be the case.
This is a must do! Had an amazing time! Great entertainment, food, and drinks! Well worth the money for a Luau!! Cruising and aboard the ship the Luau offered through the excursions was SOLD OUT! Took a chance to go with Viator and so happy we did!! Thank you!!
This was ok for a one time experience but disappointed with a couple things. Food was great entertainment good, band was very good. Only 3 stars because viator took away cheapest option paid for next step, “Deluxe” not worth it. NOT deluxe seats and extra drink could have bought for half on site
Nice show. Very well organized. It was a 20 minute walk from our hotel which was nice. Great to be outside oceanside. We enjoyed sampling the different foods like poi as well as having a good dinner. The entertainers engaged the crowd and made for a fun night. Well done!
I purchased this for my parents and they loved it! Said it was one of the best parts of their trip to Hawaii!
