Well done show, good food
Reviewed by: jpimsler, 2021/05/22On the specific date we went it rained, so that's a lost star that's in no way their fault! If we had wanted to leave and not stay in the rain they would have given us a refund or moved the tickets to a different date.
The show as very educational and the dancing was great! Our one year old was in a trance! Such awesome culture across the Pacific islands. The food was really good and big portions/as much as you want since it's a buffet. Before you leave check out the Hawaiian/Polynesian exhibit inside the hotel.

Not worth the $$
Reviewed by: Jessica, 2021/05/08I was very disappointed that we spent so much money for what was supposed to be a great experience for my kids’ first luau. The luau was moved indoors due to a weather warning but it was not even close to being the same experience. I understand that potential bad weather cannot be predicted but they should have given us the option to reschedule or cancel. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Amazing Luau Experience!
Reviewed by: Anais , 2021/04/15Our party of 4 had a fantastic Luau experience as 1st timers. Even with the COVID restrictions in place, they did an excellent job. Amazing food, amazing story telling and even more fantastic dances. Get your tickets before they sell out!

Fun luau!
Reviewed by: Hannah, 2021/03/17The Island Breeze luau was in a beautiful location next to the ocean and the dancers and musicians were excellent. The food was good and it was a fun atmosphere. They did a good job with everything with the COVID restrictions they had to follow.

My kids LOVED this show!
Reviewed by: Lval , 2021/03/16As a parent of 7 year old twins, who seeks out kid friendly activities, I’m so grateful I chose this show. This was their first show since COVID. They offered a selection of kid friendly food which I appreciated. The rest of the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Now to the entertainment. This group of performers were so enthusiastic that the captured my kids attention the whole time. The story they told was beautiful. My kids were doing their best to follow the dancers moves and the waitstaff were so kind to compliment them. The fire dancer at the end got a standing ovation! From the music and performers to the food and staff, they all exceeded any expectations! Well done!

Outstanding luau
Reviewed by: Amanda Mrozek, 2019/03/28The food was great and so was the entertainment. This luau was highly recommended to us by a bunch of people after we booked it so it was good to know we made a good choice and they were right.

Tourist magnet
Reviewed by: Maria Christiansen, 2018/10/19Good, but to many tourists. I was hoping for a more native experience instead of a hotel.. I wanted to see the luau dance more then having to eat and drink

Mediocre
Reviewed by: YOPPI, 2018/07/21I was hoping to see more polynesian dance as well as more dancers with a big stage, not listening to songs sang by a middle age man.
My husband and i landed on the day we participated in this and hadn't eaten a real food for 12 hours or more and were starving. Even under the condition, we didn't think food was great. Didn't go for another plate.
I've been to luau once in kuai island a few years ago. That one is a lot greater than this. If you've been to luau before, I would not recommend this.

Luau at the King Kamehameha
Reviewed by: Just27, 2018/06/22I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

A little dated but nice to have at the hotel we were staying at
Reviewed by: C Mangino, 2017/09/22After having attended a Smith luau in Kauai, this paled by comparison. We paid about $100 per person, and that seemed a little pricey. The food was good, the entertainment was ok. But nothing to write home about. One plus was that it was at the hotel we were staying at. Do NOT pay to upgrade your seat - unless you're late to the party, you'll get a good seat and can see the entire show without issue.

Great Luau - Awesome food, friendly service
Reviewed by: Frank, 2017/09/03I've done 3 or 4 luaus in my day. This was the best. The service was top notch. I had one of the attendees watch my infant son while we went for food. My 4 year old daughter danced up a storm while watching the professional dancers and the other patrons where kind beyond belief.
Could not have gotten a better experience.

Mediocre
Reviewed by: North Carolina, 2017/05/26Not very authentic.... they used a band, dress looked store bought & sang some songs in English. The one on Maui used only a drum and / or a ukulele with traditional Hawaiian dress & language.

Not spectacular
Reviewed by: Bill, 2017/05/24There was no waiter service for drinks and the food was so so. Few performers compared to others I have attended . Did not compare to luaus on Maui or or one at the outrigger several years ago.
The best part was the fire dancer. He did a great job .

Island Breeze Luau
Reviewed by: Kay, 2017/03/10We come to this Luau every year! We have a timeshare so this year was our 7th time to the big island and the 4th time to this show. We tried shows in other places but came back to this one because the food is the best, the setting is right on the water, and the show is most entertaining. Everyone makes it fun from the host who takes tickets and encourages a lei purchase, the photographer, the announcer for the show, the musicians, the artists who go through many costume changes and the wait staff. We recommend this show to anyone who asks. Thank you all for your committed and talented time. See you next year!
Mahalo for your kind words! We love to hear from our ʻohana who come back to visit us year after year. i will pass on your comments to our team - they will appreciate the time you took to share your experience and will love hearing how much you enjoy coming back to see us. A hui hou - We look forward to your next visit!!

Best on the Big Island
Reviewed by: Nancy, 2016/07/17We have been coming here for quite a while and have attended more luaus than I can count. The island breeze luau is the best. What makes this one great is the history of the island that is part of the program. Plus the buffet is the best one around. And just like in real estate, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!!!!
We recently moved here so a luau is always on the agenda when friends come. We still get as excited now as the first one we ever saw.
Aloha
Mahalo! We appreciate your kind words and look forward to having you back at the Island Breeze luʻau again soon!
