3.00Thanks to one of the ushers, we were able to get seating where we could see. Initially was beside food tables,couldn’t see a thing. Cheap on the free drink(small and tasted like punch)…food was just ok. Show was very good. Motivator guy was a little much. Transportation was good.
Best Luau ever

5.00We attended the Ka Moana Luau last night and it was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, everything was so well organized and welcoming. The setting at Aloha Tower during sunset was stunning — such a beautiful backdrop to kick off the evening. The food was delicious with a great variety. Everything was flavorful and fresh, and there was plenty to go around. The drinks were just as good and really added to the island vibe. The performances were incredible. The dancers were so talented and the storytelling throughout the show was powerful and engaging. You could truly feel the pride in Polynesian culture with every performance. And the fire knife dancer? UNREAL. Definitely a highlight of the night! What I loved most was how intimate and immersive it felt — not overly crowded, and you could really see and connect with the performers. It wasn’t just dinner and a show — it was a full cultural experience. If you’re in Honolulu, this luau is a must-do. We left smiling, full, and so glad we chose Ka Moana!
Entertaining and fun luau

5.00First time going to the Ka Moana Luau, the MC was very entertaining, the dancers were very good, the chief was so into it, can tell everyone was so into it, which makes it that much better. The fire dance part of the show was simply amazing. Being local, the food was really good, absolutely no complaints there, people who complain are people who don’t like Hawaiian food, or not willing to try it. It’s a luau and a great one too!
Great experience

4.00The buffet food was something you can get elsewhere but the luau experience consisted of a combination of history and entertainment. Between fire acts and hula dancers and island traditions, this event was an experience everyone should go to at least once in their lives.
Best Show Ever!!!

5.00I was so PLEASANTLY SURPRISED about the show. I bought online and was scared to do it but I did it. It was such a AMAZING show from start to finish! The food, the people, the acts, the pictures (which I bought) the drinks, the shows, the digital projector, the stories, the dancing, the comedy, the fire show, the hospitality, the tree climber, the activities EVERYTHING was AMAZING! Money spent was WELL WORTH IT! I would go to Hawaii again just to see the show. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++
