Te Au Moana, which means the ocean tide, has long been a steady presence across Oceania, linking our islands, communities, and generations. Our Polynesian forebears navigated these ocean tides for centuries and held them in high regard for their life-giving qualities.

Beautiful displayed history of Hawaiian stories and traditions through dance, authentic foods and aloha service. - This luau included a beautifully scripted story of traditions and honor for the islands. It was very entertaining throughout the program. They honored people celebrating special occasions and invited all to grab a partner and join everyone in a dance together. Way better than getting called up onstage from the crowd (imo). The food service was great. We were a bit skeptical of the smaller portions first brought to us; however, they were very attentive and made sure we got more of whatever we wanted. I love that they were food waste conscientious. The atmosphere was perfect with the sunset in the background. We did not pay for premier seating but were still seated at a front row table and seemed to have all the perks included in our experience. We were a party of 10 which filled our own table. We found a site that charged a very reasonable price for this event. (under $200 pp) Great experience. Maui nō ka ʻoi

Amazing Luau! - Excellent show with even better food and drinks! All the performers were amazing. Food and drinks were endless and they didn’t try to overcrowd you at the table. We were only 8 per table. Would go again.

Amazing night - The food and entertainment were amazing. If you don’t enjoy yourself and walk away with a full belly, there’s something wrong. Parking is a bit pricy. $10/hr

Luau experience - This Luau entertainment was awesome! Our server Brooke was on top of all we needed!
The food aspect of this adventure could not be appreciated , due to the amount of gnats or some kind of fly that was in the area. While no one can predict insects, it seems something could have been done, perhaps inside venue. When placed on the table , bugs immediately went into food, even though Brooke hastily, covered with napkin. Food could not be served, with bugs, could not be eaten. We covered our plate, with napkin as we served but still were in spoons. This was not just our table, but all around us.
We know the Island has had much rain , and other issues.
We would have forgone the meal, under these conditions.
Perhaps, maybe offer a no meal option?
Beautiful grounds, beautiful performance! Table 27 Wendy

Too many bugs - Dinner was overrun by gnats. We really couldn’t eat anything without eating bugs. The show, service, drinks and location were fantastic.

Beautiful view, okay experience. - The location is beautiful! The way that’s it’s separated into groups that are served family style was super awkward. Certain food items would run out before they got around to the last couple people and your experience really depends on who you get seated with. Also, I know this is not at all the faults of the company but the bugs were everywhere in the food. Just something to consider before you book if that is an issue for you. The biggest highlight was the fire dancers. They were incredible! And the staff were extremely friendly as well. I am glad we went but I wouldn’t go again.
