What To Expect
Te Au Moana Luau
Te Au Moana, translated as the ocean tide, has always been a constant throughout Oceania, connecting our islands, peoples and generations. Our Polynesian ancestors traversed these oceans tides for ages and revered them for their life sustaining properties. Their stories, which spoke of their expert skills in fishing, gathering and voyaging demonstrated the tremendous depths of knowledge and respect they had to the Earth and its elements. As Hawaii’s premier entertainment company, Tihati Productions endeavors to bring these stories to life at “Te Au Moana: The Ocean Tide”. We invite you to dine as the ocean sits peacefully before you, as it has for thousands of years. We ask you to dance under the Maui skies; the moon and stars await you and we hope that you discover all the fascinating stories at “Te Au Moana: The Ocean Tide” a spectacular lu’au experience like no other!

Boring, Long and drawn out and the worst experience of our trip.

1.00I booked with an Activities Desk at my Hotel and received a Voucher in which I was to use when my family of 12 checked in on Thanksgiving. When we arrived, they said my reservation was cancelled, after arguing with them for over an hour they finally found seats for my family, but they split us up all over and I had to pay again. We missed the first part of Luau because we had to wait to see if they could find us seats, everyone at this point was hot for standing in the sun for so long. We finally get seated just as they served the meal. Several of our family members have been to other Luau's so I feel that very confident in saying that we all did not like this Luau. They did not have enough dancers, so they had a person telling very boring stories while the dancers exchanged costumes. Performance was long and boring. The food was OK, but not great. They did not even serve Pineapple as one of their fruits and even through POI is not great and they say they will serve, they did not. Overall, this very boring Luau went on for over 5 hours. Oh and beware of when you arrive, there are no signs telling you were to go so you have to walk around asking questions of where to go for about 15mins. Oh the best part after we got home, they found our reservation, so they refunded me for the money I had to pay again to get this crappy show. They did not even apologize for making us all have to sit at several tables with people we did not know and one of the tables had a sick kid that was throwing up and after the people left with the kid they did not clean it up. Can I say again we had absolutely the worst Luau ever and on Thanksgiving to top it off.
Fun Family Luau Experience

4.00This wasn't just a dinner show; it was a non-stop party! Our family of four had a blast sharing a table with two awesome couples. The fun started the moment we arrived: we were decked out with a beautiful lei, the girls got fresh flowers tucked into their hair, and the tattoo stamps were a massive hit! They kept us thoroughly entertained before the main event. And the open bar? The grown-up drinks were super yummy, but even better, the kids' special drinks were a delightful. The true star, though, was the Feast of the Gods! Seriously, the food is served family-style and it just keeps coming! Piled high with delicious local and traditional Hawaiian fare, every single bite was a winner. Pro tip: starve yourself all day before you go! You will not regret it. The dancers were absolutely incredible—so talented, energetic, and hilarious! They had us captivated and laughing from the first moment to the final, fiery finale. One last thing: make sure to carve out some time to check out the tables with the beautiful, locally handmade crafts. They have some unique finds!

3.00Wonderful staff, beautiful venue. There were too many people and a lot of breaks in between shows and that made it drag on for much too long.
So much fun for the whole family
