Island Breeze Luau with teenagers. - The demonstration about how the imu is cooked underground was great. The show, food and staff was outstanding ! The back drop by the historical site and the ocean was a plus also.

Recommended Luau!! - It was Good seating, delicious food and good variety. The lines and set up was well organized and flowed Nicely. The performances were Great and very entertaining. Would def recommend. It was open bar until 7:30...not a big drinker but the lines for the bar weren't too bad.

Family Tradition - The opening ceremony is so beautiful. Love the presentation of the pig being transferred from the pit to the platter. Open bar is perfect for the adults breather than other shows that just keep pouring Mai Tai’s. Food is excellent and entertainment traditional and fun. A tradition we love from ages 6 to 79

Show and Food were good! - Luaus have become so expensive that it is hard to say they can ever reach 5 stars! It is hard to pay that much and then by the time you get in line for the tatoos - which were darling! - they are gone. We were very pleased with the quality of the food. Every food item was delicous and the pork was outstanding. The drinks were ok. Would have loved to see NA beer as there is a great shift in people's habits. The show was excellent and just right in length for families. So fun that you could take pictures with the dancers after. All in all it was very hard to spend that much money for 9 people for a dinner and a show but I am glad we did it and it was a great family memory.

Fun & beautiful - Fun, great music & dance. Fire sword demonstration was amazing. Don’t forget to bring your parking ticket with you for validation.

Enjoyable - We did enjoy the luau, however, kind of disappointed with not getting a lei necklace. They were charging $10 apiece. However, the food was great, nice drinks and friendly staff.

They pack you in the... - They pack you in the tables pretty tightly and if you’re one of the “last” tables to get food the likelihood of getting seconds before they clean up is small. Otherwise it’s a fun experience to do at least once!

Pretty good fun. - The people were very nice. The lines were long for food and drinks. It seemed like they could have had more than one bartender. The location is great!

Not bad - The food was tasty and the drinks flowed. The show however wasn't the greatest. Too much talking in between. They need more cast members so it flows better and faster.

Great Show, But Disappointing Atmosphere - I was genuinely looking forward to the Island Breeze Luau, and while the performance itself was enjoyable and culturally rich, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. Seating was extremely crowded, the food felt mass-produced, and the “all-you-can-drink” option was more of a fend-for-yourself situation than a relaxing service. After a tsunami warning canceled our original date, the rescheduled event came with a surprise price hike—which left a sour taste. It felt more like a commercial operation than a welcoming celebration. I wish I could say it was worth the cost. Again, the show was good, but the atmosphere didn’t match the spirit I was hoping for
