100000/10 - Wailua Nui Luau was such a special experience. The energy, the storytelling, the music, the dancing, everything felt so alive and meaningful. You can tell how much heart goes into the performances from the dancers, and everyone had the most beautiful energy on stage. The food was so yummy, the views were beautiful, and the whole night felt like such a genuine way to experience Hawaiian culture and learn more of the history of Wailua, where we are location. If you’re on Kauaʻi, put this on your list for sure.

Fantastic oceanfront show - We travel to Kauai often and this my new favorite. The oceanfront setting is beautiful, they have a traditional imu and I do not think we ever had that or had prime rib anywhere else. The show is fantastic. We really enjoyed it.

So much fun! - What an incredible show!!! If you're looking for an authentic Hawaiian Luau, then this is for u!!! They have a history who's amazing, the musicians, dancers, and food were all top notch!!! My parents and I had a very memorable experience thanks to them!!! It's outdoors so always the chance it could rain, but for us, the weather and setting were perfect!!!

Outstanding Luau experience. - This is an excellent Luau. Music and production were top shelf. The food and drinks were plentiful and good. The premium seating is a no-brainer upgrade for the better views, and shortcut to entering the show.

WOW!!! O’ what a night! - We were a party of 13 people.Upon arrival, the staff greeted us warmly and presented each one with a fresh lei. There were plenty of drinks to go around and a good variety of drinks. The entertainment was excellent and informative. The length was just right. The food was not enough. We were the second to the last table that went to the buffet line and there were NO green salad left. There were NO macaroni salad left. There were No meat dish left(whatever meat dish it was) just the sauce left. What we had was purple dinner rolls, pork, some fish. There were NO desserts left. In plain English, NO FOOD LEFT. My suggestion for future events, serve only half of the food initially, then replenish the food trays after half of the guests have gone through the buffet line. People in front of the line tend to overload their plates when they see that there is plenty of food in the food trays. Other than the food disappointment, the venue was excellent. Please tell the Mixologist, the drinks were outstanding and we got a buzzzz out of them. Mahalo, and we’ll see you next time. Thank you very much.
