Great overall evening....

5.00Great overall evening. Seems to run a little long if you have younger kids but they give you history and a show. A few of the cultish jokes didn’t land well with my daughter. Food was good and transportation there was solid and driver gave us lots of info and history on the way there. Wish she had Zelle or something for tips since didn’t have cash.
Great Luau in Oahu

5.00We had a great time at Mauka Warriors Luau. Some details on the show - The real show is only an hour, the rest of the time is spent on cooking a pig the Hawaiian way. They also have activities to keep all engaged until dinner. Then the dinner is served and finally the show. They had a collection of various performances related to different Polynesian islands. Food - The dinner was ok with a few Hawaiian food items, nothing too fancy. That is ok because the main reason is the show. Little on the show set up - Depending on the package you purchased you will be given front, mid or rear seating. The place was packed with I think around 500+ guests. Irrespective of where you sit, you will get a good view of the show. The staff were helpful to make sure that we got our selves comfortable. Overall this is a great Luau show that you should attend if you in Oahu.
Great show

3.00The diagram of picking how much I spent was NOT the lay out at the venue … I was a solo traveler it would have been nice to see the show up closer I had to watch families arguing and fussing and fighting with their kids all night long…. Please sit solo travelers in the front… I was annoyed with the kids all night …..I am a school teacher I felt some type of way.
Awesome!

5.00My only critique is that the directions sent to tell us where the pick up location at Hilton Hawaiian Village were vague. It doesn’t tell you to go inside the bus depot. I assumed it was like other tours where you waited outside for the bus. We almost missed our bus because of this. Perhaps just tell future people they need to go inside to meet the bus. Other than that, the luau was awesome! The service, food, and entertainment were unparalleled. We paid extra for VIP and I’m glad we did. I think you would’ve been able to see well from anywhere, but being VIP, you got to skip the main line, get a flower lei, they gave you a welcome mai tai, and they made it a little extra special. I definitely recommend this. We chose this one over the one at the resort we are staying at because this one’s reviews were so much better.
Best Luau Ever

5.00We loved the Mauka Warriors Luau! It was so much more than just a show. They had a tattoo station, Polynesian kitchen, including an emu, a traditional headband station and more. This was an event my family will never forget and one we will attend again when visiting. I highly recommend this luau. It is worth every penny.
