Excellence at its best !! Sensational!! - Simply Outstanding! The entire experience from beginning to finish was worth every cent and a very special, warm engaging and truly memorable experience. Pick-up and drop off service seemless. Venue 10/10. Meals excellent. Food was fresh tasty and presented in individual serves offered by each stall in venue. (Go back as often as you please including during show). Poke and desert incredibly good. We did the VIP ticket choice and honestly worth every cent. This is most certainly the best venue, food and entertainment if you appreciate authenticity and excellent value. Highly Highly recommended !!

Great Luau Experience! - This luau offered a great experience that focused on the Polynesian culture and its influences on Hawaiian culture. The main show was set up as a framed narrative, which helped to tie together the different parts of the show. The performers were all excellent. The production value of the show was much higher than a luau at the Hilton in Waikiki that we walked by one night. We all had a great time, especially my 7 year old. We also enjoyed the food. It was set up with several food stations in "food trucks" where you could get as much as you wanted.

Absolutely worth it! - The whole evening was so wonderful! The pre show activities were fun and very family friendly. We had our 3 year old with us. The food was delicious and the show was incredible! Truly the kindest and sweetest cast of people too. All of it was just amazing and we are so glad we went. We were thinking the price was little high at first but it was completely worth it!

Great Luau! - We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Kaula Lūʻau. We live on island and love trying new luaus, and this one is definitely at the top of our list! The show, dancing, and storytelling were beautifully put together and kept us engaged the entire evening. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly, which made the experience even better. The food was great and offered a unique layout that really helped it stand out from other luaus we’ve attended. There were multiple food stations, each serving different dishes, which meant lots of variety and little to no lines. Everything felt well organized, thoughtful, and enjoyable. The activities before the show were such a fun bonus, especially for families. Our kids loved the tattoos, fire stick throwing, and drum circle, which kept them entertained and made the whole evening even more memorable. We highly recommend it and would absolutely return — five stars!

Perfect first luau! - The “Ohana” were fantastic, from the parking lot until the event was over, everyone was so nice, friendly, spoke and helped with a big smile. The food and drinks were very tasty. And the show was a cultural journey for sure. We learned things! Not to mention they are putting on a benefit for the flood with Jason Momoa… They take pride in what they do and how they do it. Great family luau experience!

Really well done... - Really well done production. Been to many luaus and this probably was one of the better productions I’ve seen. They did a nice job weaving a story around the cultures of the different islands
