5.00The show was awesome, a lot of food and drinks. Seating is assigned so there’s really no reason to wait in line at 5:30. There is plenty of time before dinner and the show once your group is seated. They take pictures and you can shop for some Hawaiian swag. I don’t think I saw the knives but the show was still entertaining, interesting and informative
Great Experience

4.00The 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.

5.00Dancers 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.
Luau’s in Maui unforgettable

1.00This 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!

4.00I 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.
Great Luau

5.00The 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!

5.00Amazing 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!!
