My entire family attend Chief's Luau and it was wonderful from top to bottom. They provided a huge amount of good food and moved people through the line quickly. Chief Sielu was delightfully funny, wise, heartfelt and shared his culture in such a beautiful way. All of the musicians, dancers and fire/knife dancers were absolutely amazing. All the performers showed such a passion and love of their culture. I would highly recommend this luau for anyone wanting to learn more about Polynesian culture.

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.
Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.

This show was outstanding. It surpassed all of our expectations. The talent and skills were evident and the energy level was high throughout the night. On the needing improvement side of things, the lines to get drinks were unbelievably long and very slow. The food was average at best but they were feeding 1000 people.

Loved the activity! The travel was not too long. Food was really good and we could go for seconds. I got the VIP package and it was definitely worth it because it gets you closer to the stage, two framed photos to take back home as well as 3 comp drinks and some additional swag. Overall it was a great experience, the show went on longer than expected but we were okay with it. Highly recommend!

I have attended luau's on two other islands and they were significantly better than this one. The food was subpar and did not include some traditional items I've seen at other luaus like poi. They do have an open bar with limited selections like Mai Tai and Blue Hawaii and local beers. There was no real imu ceremony and you could not view the pig being cooked in the ground like in others. The show was OK but more of a theatrical play centered around a storyline with little about Hawaiian history. We also did the train ride which was also just OK. You see some orchards and a few animals like pigs, cows, and horses. I would not recommend this luau to a friend. We were very disappointed overall.

This is not your regular Luau event that you go to. My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary and it’s his first trip after 35 years. I was surprised to know that I was not only watching or going to a luau but also going to a comedy show. Chief was amazingly great! His delivery was superb and did not seem rehearsed but was very natural. The staff (i feel bad that I didn’t get his name :( but he was great) took care of a mishap that happened and was very professional. Everyone was so great and I will definitely go back and tell my friends to make sure to see Chiefs Luau.

I had been curious about the Royal Hawaiian dinner show for a while✨ I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but everything exceeded my imagination and was incredibly delicious! The drinks included one complimentary drink in addition to the service, and there were non-alcoholic cocktails available, which were plentiful and tasted amazing✨ The showtime featured a lovely and talented female singer who was absolutely wonderful✨ I had been intrigued by the "Rock-a-Hula Show" from the photos, and when it started, I thought, "Ah! So that's what it is!" and it all made sense✨ Both Elvis and Michael were great at singing and dancing, and I was surprised at how well it matched with the Hawaiian theme! But the absolute highlight was the fire show✨ The performance was fantastic, and the performer looked just like my husband, which had us all laughing out loud! Personally, they were my number one look-alike! It was also a nice touch that we could take a commemorative photo together at the end, which felt very American! I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends who are going to Hawaii✨
以前から気になっていたロイヤルハワイアンのディナーショー✨
ディナーはそこまで期待してませんでしたが、想像を越えてどれもこれもとっても美味しかったです!
ドリンクもサービス以外にワンドリンク付いていて、ノンアルコールカクテルもあり、量も多く味も凄く美味しかったです✨
ショータイムは、シンガーの女性が可愛くて上手でとっても素敵でした✨
「ロックアフラショー」のロックが、写真を観てても気になってましたが、始まってみて「あっ!そういうことか!」と納得✨
エルビスもマイケルも歌も踊りも上手で凄かったし、ハワイアンとマッチしてるのが驚きでした!
でも、1番最高だったのはファイヤーショー✨
演技が素晴らしいのは勿論ですが、この方が私の主人にそっくり瓜二つで大爆笑でした〜笑
個人的にNo.1のそっくりさんでした笑笑
最後に一緒に記念撮影が出来るのもアメリカらしくて良いサービスですね!
ハワイに行く友人達に是非勧めたいツアーです✨

This was a pretty fun show to attend. One thing I like a a luau is some of the history of the Hawaiian Islands and Polynesia and this show had some good dances going over the history and region. The house band was excellent and the host, while being kind of Vegas lounge singer-esque, hit a tone that was welcoming and fun. There was some audience participation and the event was generally a good time. The food and drinks we're a little less impressive and while they were as advertised and a typical luau fair, the quality was more of a banquet at a hotel style and the main reason for the 4 star over the 5 star. Fun luau, worth the purchase.
