5.00Amazing! Must see show! Our family of 7 enjoyed the experience. We started with VIP check in & lei greeting. The buffet was delicious & lots of variety. Our kids loved the desserts especially ice cream with lots of toppings! The hula lessons were a hit! After the dinner, we were walked to our VIP section, prime seating with perfect view. The entertainment is amazing & so much talent! We sang along to every song! Great interaction with the crowd. We are a multigenerational family, age 5 to 75, & we all enjoyed the show very much!
A must see show!!

Not a traditional luau

3.00The buffet had a variety of food and was very tasty. I was not aware this wasn't a traditional luau, it's primarily a tribute to Elvis and Michael Jackson with a few traditional luau elements added in. It wasn't my preference, but to others they may enjoy that type of show.
Great show!

5.00Luau food was excellent. The show was also excellent and organized. All the performers, including Elvis and Michael Jackson were very professional. The most enjoyable 1.5 hrs of continuous entertainment. They should go on tour, so I could see them again in Pennsylvania. Great show!!!!

5.00Don’t miss this show ! It’s a magical night from the moment you walk in. As soon as you enter, you’ll see dancers moving gracefully between the tables. They’re not amateurs warming up — they’re part of the cast. Be kind, say hello, and take a moment to appreciate them. They will absolutely amaze you. I knew they were good… but they’re professional‑level good. During the performance, I kept trying to watch all of them at once because each dancer brings something unique and impressive. Before going, I recommend watching the movie Priscilla — it makes the Elvis segment even more enjoyable, and it’s a great date movie. As a huge Elvis fan, I felt like I was transported straight into his Honolulu concert. The Michael Jackson tribute is fantastic as well, and the Polynesian dancer was simply incredible. Normally, you explore a place horizontally. This show feels like a vertical journey through Hawaii — starting at the roots of the islands and rising all the way to modern times. At moments it feels like contemporary dance; at others, they blend every style imaginable (except maybe ballet). Take the time to watch each dancer, and participate — they genuinely want you to have a great time. And at the end, don’t hesitate to say hello again. Also… go back to the buffet for a second round. Everything is delicious. This show became one of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii.
Great buffet dinner and show!

5.00What a dinner! What a show! What an experience. I've lived in Hawaii for 8 years and this is my first time at the show. IDK why it took me this long to attend. The dinner buffet was really nice. With the initial free Mai Tai, to the roast beef. But the Hawaiian BBQ chicken was our favorite. And for me I really enjoyed the tofu salad. Now to the show. It was an over caffeinated hula experience, in such a good way. All of the performers were fabulous. The dancers were very professional and talented. All of the singers were great. We really enjoyed Elvis and MJ! They brought the house down. And the fire dancer got everyone pumped up. Forget about date nights. Go to this show! You will not regret it, and it'll be one of the more memorable experiences on the island.
