  • Great Experience

    The artistry and storytelling of the performance was amazing!! Beautiful to watch and provided great historical context. Food was delicious for a buffet style. Servers were attentive and friendly. I would have preferred a more natural setting as opposed to this staged venue

  • Great dancing! We were impressed.

    Dancers were really great -- both the men and women had a ton of energy and the MC dancer was top notch with his explanations and information. The evening begins with drinks (open bar), selling of Hawaiian goods and trinkets, and professional photos, all of which is fun. Next, the dinner buffet is enormous and plentiful, pretty good quality for mass quantity buffet. Also a very tasty dessert bar. But for sure the highlight was the dancing, which happens after the sun goes down. We were near the front but by the side so we could watch the band as well -- the drummers and the musicians were really talented. The dancers were amazing!! It was our first luau so we are not experts, but we thoroughly enjoyed the show -- the dancers were putting in 100% effort, so impressive.

    This is a very boring luah. There is no knife show and the fire part is the last 2 mins. Literally falling asleep. Food is okay but good option for kids. Easy to access if on the resort but in Honolulu had one of the most fun and intricate outfits and story telling luah so this was just disappointing. No cool outfit changes or even upbeat performances. Wouldn’t waste my money on it

  • Family dinner and cultural experience!

    I traveled with my family (very young children) and it was a great experience! The storytelling, the dancing, the music... Everything was so moving. Everyone clearly enjoyed their role in the event- including our server who was asking about our travels and was open to recommending local attractions! We were greeted with a free Mail Tai or non-alcoholic beverage and a lei! That was lovely! The food was the only negative part of this review was the food. The adult food options were definitely abundant. However, I just felt like everything was very very salty. The meat options and the fried rice- I get it, but it was eating the ocean. The performers were just marvelous though. And I certainly felt an appreciation for the culture.

    The show was outstanding, dancers great. Location was confusing, there are two Westins in Maui. The food was good, plenty of free drinks available. It was a highlight of our trip.

  • Lovely experience!

    Amazing food and truly an amazing experience getting to see the Hawaiian culture. It is worth the money in my opinion. We got lucky and had wonderful seats as a non-premium tickets. I could see some people likely had some slightly obstructed views, but like I said we got very lucky as they pick your tables for you. Fire dancers were amazing!!

  • Great show by Viator missed the details

    The show was great - fire dancers were awesome! Food was very good and service was great. No issues at all with the event itself. However, confirm the show time before you go - Viator said it started at 5:00 so we arrived at 4:30 to be sure we could park and be on time. Upon arrival we were told doors open at 5:30 and show started at 6:10. It was hot and there wasn’t anyplace cool that we could sit and wait. Would’ve been nice to have less time to kill beforehand.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SO MUCH FUN!!

    Our group recently attended the Wailele Luau at the Westin Maui Resort & Spa, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. From start to finish, the evening was exceptionally well organized and exceeded our expectations. We opted for the Premium Luau package and felt it was well worth the additional cost. The open bar included a variety of premium beverage options at no extra charge, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. The food was outstanding. Dinner was served banquet-style and featured a wide variety of traditional Hawaiian and island-inspired dishes, all of which were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The culinary experience was truly top-tier and far better than what we’ve come to expect from most large-scale dinner shows. Families traveling with children will appreciate the separate keiki buffet, which included kid-friendly favorites such as macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza, salad, and fries. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience enjoyable for guests of all ages. The entertainment was absolutely fantastic. The performers were energetic, talented, and professional, and the show was beautifully choreographed. The cultural presentations were engaging, and the production quality was excellent from beginning to end. The finale was especially memorable and did not disappoint. There was also a small craft vendor area offering locally inspired gifts and souvenirs, as well as a professional photographer available for family photos and keepsake pictures for an additional fee. If you’re visiting Ka’anapali and considering a luau, this one is easy to recommend. Great food, premium drinks, excellent entertainment, and a beautiful beachfront setting made for a memorable evening. We would absolutely do it again on a future visit to Maui.
