4.00I would actually give this 4.5 stars. It was so much more than just a luau; a demonstration of traditional cooking, plus activities like peeling taro and bananas, making a grass crown, and learning to twist the fire sticks (without fire :)). The food was sooo good and the show was phenomenal. Between the host, Lima, guiding us through and the performances highlighting all the different Polynesian cultures, you won’t be disappointed. It was a bit of a drive (about 1.5hrs from Waikīkī) but so worth it. We also did the walk in the botanical garden to the waterfall, but we were a bit disappointed at the garden and hoped for more colorful plants and flowers. It was mostly just green with limited flowers here and there. All in all, definitely recommend!
Locals and beautiful experience.

5.00One of the most beautiful luau’s I have ever been to. They had culture activities and you got to learn about the Polynesians. In the north shore with the real locals. Lived it.
800$ totally wasted. Muddy, dirty mess. Please read.

1.00Muddy, dirty disappointment. We left after waiting for an hour for our “VIP” experience to start ($800). We had expected a professionally run show and that is not what this is. Nice people, but we dressed nicely for the experience and literally all the chairs and tables were covered in dirt and sticky who-knows-what. A roadside picnic table would have been about as clean as their seating area. They do not serve you food. You have to walk out into the muddy area to stand in line to get it. No servers for drinks either. Another line. There is zero VIP about this experience. People came directly from swimming in the waterfall. So the problem is just expectations. I thought it would be a classy well run event and it was more like a family reunion at a covered tent at a state park. Nothing wrong with that if we had known to expect it. The VIP price was a total ripoff and big disappointment. So we gave our drink tickets to another family and just left to get dinner at a clean and nice restaurant. I’m sure the show would have been interesting and I’m sure the actors were genuinely trying to put on a good show. But everything from the filthy bathrooms to the disgusting waiting area just made us realize that we had made the wrong decision. Do not dress up at all for this. Your outfit will get ruined. Pros- nice team members. Pretty jungle.
Best Luau Ever!!!

5.00The Toa Luau was a great experience. They had fun activities to show how the Hawaiians lived and/or made food. The show & food were fantastic. Also a plus, it included admission to the botanical gardens so we could go swimming in the falls.
Book it!'
