Great for solo traveler!

5.00Fun and lively with delicious food. Perfectly comfortable attending as a solo traveler. The music, storytelling and dances were spectacular.
Not quite what I expected

3.00Not quite what I expected. We were seated on foldable tables and chairs on uneven fake grass. The food was delicious however it was served in to go containers. The dancers were great, the fire dancers were amazing. However, The InBetween entertainment was mediocre too many sexual undertones in the comedy. We had a group of people standing in front of us, which made it really difficult to see the show. The table next to us asked these people to sit many times and they kept standing and there was no one around to complain to. I couldn’t understand how they can get five stars repeatedly but during the show you’re given a prize for a five star review so I get it.

5.00The food was good and the Show was Great. The storytelling was very informative. The dance was very good. The MC helped to weave the story together. When putting this all together it was one of the highlights of our trip.
Culture or Expectations?

4.00If you want a hands on experience from young people about many different Polynesian traditions, then this place is 5 ⭐️! If you are wanting good traditional food, then this is it!! They taught us about the many cultures and traditions through demonstrations, like climbing a tree and what a ripe coconut really means! Family friendly and fun! WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT! The only thing we did not see was how they roasted and prepared the food. We were not actually on the sand or beach, but other than that we were very happy with the show! My husband would only rate this 2 stars because we were not on the actual beach and he didn’t see the roasted pig. If those are your expectations, you will need to go to another place. There are SO MANY to choose from! I did lots of reading before we left home. When you finally get through the line (time consuming), don’t be shy about the making of leis, garlands and other activities. This is where you can ask questions and try to make things. This was the best BEFORE the show. It was the BEST part but I was not aware it was going on. Hindsight is the perfect vision. I was happy with the performance. Drink tickets get you a small drink, but it’s a full bar and delicious drinks! 😘

5.00You won't regret the experience. Not only is it entertaining but also informative on some of the history of the Hawaiian islands and it's Polynesian people.
Try a different one

2.00Show was good, performers very good. Don't come for food, they ran out and got no choices as hardly anything left. If you want full buffet skip the activities and go directly to buffet. Buffet closed early. Paid for upgraded seating and it was far from the stage and obstructed view. Gave us transportation there and back but never announced the stop and we nearly missed it.
Great Experience
