This is the best luau I’ve ever been to. The food, hospitality, and show are outstanding. We received leis, participated in fun activities, and ate delicious food. The show is informative and beautiful! Learned some Hawaiian history and enjoyed watching the stunningly gorgeous hula show. A must-do in Maui!!!
We had a group of 6 adults who all had a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful. One female employee was extra helpful to my 83 year old uncle. The boat is nice and not too crowded with guests. We had a gorgeous day so our pics were beautiful in the clear, blue water. We had plenty of time to use the paddle boards and snorkel. The snorkeling was ok. The reef seems like it is dead. We saw a couple of turtles and small fish but not the best snorkeling I have done. We brought our own alcohol and the staff gave us some ice. Snacks were ok but I think for the price - lunch should be provided. It was one of our most expensive excursions. It was good transportation was included but we did have a rental car. The boats have bins to keep your belongings dry and safe. Bring a water proof cell phone case to take water / snorkel pics. Bring towels and sunscreen. It was nice to have a bathroom on board too. Music was playing but it was not a party vibe.
Bring water proof cell phone case and towels.
We come back often from California and always have a luau at the Hilton . It’s fun, great story telling. Great performances and food! Highly recommend
Nothing more than show up and enjoy the show
This was a great experience. Getting to see the observatories and look out over the clouds above everything on the Big Island was really amazing. Watching the sunset and then doing some star gazing was awesome. Very happy with everything.
We enjoyed the dinner and of course the main Show ..we definitely will come back again.
Great experience this was my first time and it didn’t disappoint. It is definitely the money worth . Great staff very friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a fun time on our canoe adventure and snorkeling at a special area with just the 3 of us. We saw a lot of beautiful fish and our snorkel gear was great! Our guide Kai was very friendly and attentive to our safety on the canoe and in the water. It was a bit tough for us to get back into the canoe after snorkeling but he worked with us and we made it!! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it will be a very special memory for us all! Thank you Kai!
Tonight we went to an immersive and interactive luau -it was simply the best and I would highly recommend!
We all had such a great time - we were welcomed like family! We loved learning to drum, spin fire “knives”, wrap fish for cooking, bury the fish to cook on the hot rocks, have a traditional kava ceremony, and weave tea leaves to make bracelets, leis, etc. We then had a catered kalua pork dinner and got to eat the fish we wrapped and cooked. This was so much better than the commercialized luaus we have attended before! If you want a true family experience this is for you. If you want the commercialized cocktail filled experience this isn’t it!
This team is top notch, they took us to a great location. They provided a wealth of information on mantaray's while we prepared for the event. We had so much fun.
We had so much fun on this tour. Really great snorkeling. We found eels, puffer fish, and even an octopus.
We had a great movie tour - almost wish we had booked one of the more extended tours, but we had a great guide, learned a lot, enjoyed photo stops though wish there were more! Would definitely recommend!
Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you
We highly recommend Friday Sunset Fireworks dinner cruise. We pick the first level.
I would recommend this adventure for anyone who is a first time or experienced rider. The horses are well trained and the guides were awesome. Even the light rain didn’t dampen the experience. What a great time.
Kei greeter was very friendly and had very Hawaiian greeting for us
Whole family enjoyed this experience. Small crowd so made it even more enjoyable. Food, alcohol drinks, drinks for the kids, food, watching the sunset out at sea, and the fireworks. The crew were welcoming and friendly, glad we made this part of our trip.
Take meds for sea sickness before hand.
We had a fun time on this excursion from the boat tide to the snorkeling to the trying s dup for first time to relaxing on the floating lounge either a beer. Only negative for me was having to wear a lifejacket while in the water. The crew were nice and helpful too
We had a wonderful experience as a family of 10 on our tour to Waimea Valley! The breakfast was a great start! Our tour guide, Jason, was full of great facts as we drove along the way to our destinations! Weimea definitely exceeded my expectations in beauty! Jason shared facts about the flora and fauna surrounding us. The walked is paved but does have some inclines along the way. The walk was great for the whole family but my elderly parents had to move slower behind the group at their own pace. The waterfall was perfect. There is “audience style seating” for families to sit if not swimming and to place items. Life jackets are required and provided which was nice and the life guards that are on duty are very helpful. The tour gives 30 minutes to enjoy the waterfall swimming which was a great amount of time. Lunch was then given after a walk back to the entrance of Waimea. Although lunch is provided and was very good- for picky eaters or hungry along the way- there are snack bars and a walk up style restaurant to order other food.
After leaving Waimea we went to Dole where we had plenty of time to walk around the gift shop and enjoy our Dole Whip. This tour was a hit with the family and definitely would recommend it!
If you are not able to walk long distances- this may be a harder tour.
I truly enjoyed this so much it was very chill, the snorkeling was better than an actual snorkeling trip we took while here, paddle boarding and kayaking too. The staff was amazing and the on board entertainment was fantastic!
Great experience we all had so much fun all 14 of us worth the price. The staff was amazing and friendly and very helpful
We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
Book the Premium package. It is well worth it.
We have been to to several Luau’s in Hawaii over the years. This one was the best yet.
Service, food, show all amazing!
It was our last night on the island. What a wonderful experience & memory to end our stay.
We were a family of seven with 3 teens. We loved both tours, the ranch and catamaran cruise beautiful scenery and educational
Would highly recommend
Sarah was great leader. Made all feel comfortable. Great scenery and liked the history of the mountain, when we first stopped. The 2nd stop on a cliff overlooking the water was great.
Enjoyed the animals at the end.
Can’t wait to come back next year for horse back riding.
Maybe more information on website suggestion to wear clothing your okay to throw away after.
It was a nice experience, getting the flavor of Hawaii songs and dance and also that was a short walk to a cave filled with germs that was really awesome.
We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.
Kayaking on the river was a good workout. Our guide, Samuel, was amazing
Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended
Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!
Wear sunscreen and enjoy the day!
This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!
If you can time this excursion on a beautiful sunny day!
Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏
