Awesome show - three hours start to finish between the pre-show activities, cooking demonstration, meal, and show. All very engaging and fun for our family of 6 (2 grandparents, mom, dad, and 8/11). Hike to the waterfall before or after, you won’t regret it! 5 stars all around, very well done.
Amazing Show!

This was the best luau I've attended! The first hour included activities and presentations on the lawn. The emcee was a great entertainer and engaging with his humor. The second hour involved an interactive performance of how Polynesian communities come together and the luau food was delivered on prepared plates. The prepared plates definitely saved time compared to the time it takes to go through a buffet line. In addition, the food was good. The last hour was an exceptional performance of dances from various Polynesian cultures. All the performances were stellar! We drove from Waikiki for this luau and it was worth it! The included admission to Waimea Valley was a plus. We arrived at Waimea Valley two hours before our 12:30pm lunch luau and the flora in Waimea Valley was worth viewing. Side note: come a little earlier than the luau time to get drinks and participate in the lawn activities. Drink coupons are provided based on the luau admission fee and will get you 1-2 drinks, based on the type of drink. Additional drinks can be purchased.

The Toa Luau was absolutely incredible and easily the best luau I’ve ever been to. From the pre-show activities and demonstrations to the storytelling, everything felt authentic and thoughtfully done. The host and performers were outstanding, and the fire show was unforgettable. The food was just as impressive—the pork was the best I’ve ever had, and the cake was amazing. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

It was a lively, fun show. I don’t have anything else to compare it to. Would be curious to see how other luaus are. We had great seats. The food was fine. Not ideal for a picky eater. Would recommend it.

Iv been to Hawaii before and done a luau this time around I chose this place because of the reviews let me tell you by far the best experience, the people, the food, the show and the overall experience and atmosphere were just fantastic and the food was amazing. From our hotel in Waikiki Hilton Hawaiian village we could see the hotels luau and it was packed with people and a buffet and this luau was intimate with the food being served to you and it’s a family run luau, Eddie the host was hilarious and the fire Dance was incredible. Definitely coming back again
Incredible Luau in Waimea Valley - Authentic and Family Owned - A MUST!

Fantastic and authentic luau in an absolutely gorgeous setting. Drinks were great, food tasty, and performances top notch. I particularly enjoyed the demonstrations on the lawn before meal time. Our emcee CiCi (sp?) had the perfect blend of humor, reverence, and aloha. The same people performing for you are the same people serving your food, and performing other duties. I appreciated the offer of more food if we were still hungry. There were so many lovely touches throughout the experience (appreciated the lei greeting!) I'm so happy I chose Toa Luau over any other. So worth the drive from Waikiki - we made it into a North Shore day trip after the luau! Parking is free on the property and entrance fee to Waimea Valley is included with your ticket. GO!!!!!
