Authentic Show!

Reviewed by: David F, 2024/03/09

For us it was a true Luau. Not just a Hawaiian show. From weaving headbands to teaching hula dancing. The show was very personable with audience interaction. Food was very good, brought out to the table instead of a buffet bar. It was an all day affair for us. Went to Waimea Falls first and spent some time there and then to the Luau. MC was great. Highly recommend. We stayed on the North Shore so it was very convenient!

Show was outstanding and food was excellent!

Reviewed by: Ann, 2023/11/19

From the moment of arrival the staff was friendly and very attentive (we did pay for the VIP section and it was worth it for the service). The were almost too many food choices to choose from and it was all very delicious. The host was engaging and entertaining, the music wonderful, and all the dancers were great. We enjoyed that they were telling stories in their dance, not just there for show. Overall it was a wonderful experience, the only negative I have is location because you can't see the ocean from the luau venue and it does help the ambience we feel.

Reviewed by: Donna, 2023/10/30

The performers and food was really good. Only comment I had been to the same Luau 4 years earlier and the story was much more in depth . We truly enjoyed it but 4 years ago you got to hear the complete story of Hawaii.

Luau on the Big Island at the Hilton Resort

Reviewed by: Celeste Riley, 2023/07/01

Absolutely wonderful dinner and show. We were seated with enough time to get our food and appreciated that they served the children first while the adults were able to get their drinks from the open bar. Loved having the chance to try different types of drinks from the bar. I was concerned about the weather with it being out in the open since it was cloudy and had rained in the afternoon recently but it was perfect weather! Our kids and I really enjoyed the show and we had a lovely family next to us from Wisconsin that made the dinner even more enjoyable. Would have preferred the waiters/ess come more from the back as they helped their tables so that we could see and record the event a little better. Over wonderful family event that we highly recommend!

  • Enjoying a Mai Tai

  • Cultural immersion of music and dance.

  • Amazing choices of food!

  • Beautiful cultural experience

  • Beauty and elegant cultural experience.

Fun time Luau

Reviewed by: Phillips , 2023/06/08

Great evening entertainment, with crowd participation, sing along and laughs. MC ‘Sam’ kept us entertained with jokes, songs and some interesting facts of Hawaii.

The grace of the dances made for a nice calming evening while the fire dances were mesmerising and a must see.

Great food and the free flow of drinks are always a welcome!

A Must if in Kona!!

Honestly just okay

Reviewed by: Ari, 2023/06/01

The Luau itself it’s in a nice place, check in was quick. We did have to stand around in the hot sun for a bit.

Seating was a nightmare because the sun is literally right in your face and there’s no shade.

The food was bleh. It was cold and not too flavorful.

A great evening

Reviewed by: Billb, 2023/02/04

The entertainment was first rate and the food was surprisingly good. You don’t expect food served to hundreds of people at once to be hot and tasty but they have the logistics well organized and the buffet line moves fast.
The fire stick dancers were excellent, and the whole evening had a very authentic feel.

Luau

Reviewed by: Angie, 2021/05/15

We enjoyed our time at the Hilton. We did two luaus while in Hawaii and enjoyed this one by far over the other. The open bar was a nice touch. Never had to wait long in line. I appreciated being served by staff rather than having to get up during the show

We enjoyed the Luau! The food was really good and the entertainment was excellent. I recommend the VIP ticket as it was really nice to have the waitress bring us our drinks. We also took a regally nice picture which provided a nice finishing touch.

My husband and I attended the Luau and went for the Ali seating. We were not disappointed. Service was great and so was the show. The host did a great job and gave us a few laughs. Our wait staff was very attentive and anticipated our needs. Thanks for a great time!

Reviewed by: Happy in Hawaii, 2018/08/14

Good food but the show was definitely the best part of the night. Spend a few extra bucks and get the premium seating with valet service. The stage makes it good regardless if you are up front but being up front was great.

Reviewed by: Anisha , 2018/05/19

It was our first trip to Big Island, Hawaii and upon many suggesting that the luau is a must, we booked it! It’s an amazing experience knowing about the culture, rich heritage of Hawaii. Food is delicious with a wide spread of salads, main course, fruits n desserts. Thrs a drinks bar too! We enjoyed all the performances especially the fire dances! Had a great time and would recommend this to our family n friends visiting in the future.

Luau at the Hilton

Reviewed by: Lange, 2017/06/19

Paid for the preferred Alii VIP seating so we were front and center and got our drinks served to us. We have been to two other Luaus, and we have to say this one had the best food and drinks. But the Luau at the Hilton on Maui had the best show. But of the two Luaus we attended on the Big Island this one was the better of the two.

Legends of Hawaii at Hilton Waikoloa Village review

Reviewed by: Michael Meissner, 2017/03/19

We went to the Legends of Hawaii Luau at the Hilton Waikoloa Village on the big island of Hawaii on February 21st, 2017, and we had a great time.

We were not part of a tour, nor were we staying at the Hilton, so we went with Ali'i VIP seating that included valet parking, table side desserts/appetizer/drinks, faster access to the food, and closer seating over the normal tickets. I think it was worth the extra $30 for the VIP seating.

We were right in the front row, and had excellent seats. The show itself was great. In particular, we loved the fire dancers.

Before the show, we could see part of the sunset in the sky with the palm trees.

The only negative was before the show. Both me and my wife can only stand for a limited amount of time. After you check in and get the picture taken, it was something like a 1/2 hour wait until the doors opened. In the queue after the check-in, there was no seating. There was some (but not much) seating before the check-in.

Reviewed by: caseypaul@aol.com, 2017/01/02

We went to this on our last night in Hawaii. It was a really great way to close out a terrific week. The food was delicious, and we had two vegetarians in our party! The entertainment was amazing, much more than hula dancers. The setting was exceptional, a tropical paradise. I recommend this luau highly!
