This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.

The young lady that greeted us at the Airport did a fabulous job. This was our families first time to the islands and my family had no idea that we were going to be greeted with the most beautiful lei's. Thank you for your help in starting our vacation out with a bang.

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!
Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!
Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!

This luau exceeded our expectations. There was a tour of the grounds with tons of wildlife and gardens. The dinner was delicious and the entertainment was great. Don't show up tired like we did its a really exciting place that everyone can enjoy.

There was too much going on. We were standing in the lines to do the crafts before we realized that the main events were going on elsewhere. Not sure how we were supposed to know what was going on, but I feel like we missed a lot. Food was good and the main show after dinner was good.

This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!
Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.
Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

I felt the grounds were lacking a bit. Kauai is much more beautiful than this tropical paradise. Been to another luau few years back and much better than this. The dancers were fabulous but felt some of the show lacked authenticity, sorta felt like everyone else was tired of it all.

I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

Took my mother to Hawaii for her 70th b-day. She was surprised when we got the leis. The lady who did it was very nice and gave us a lot of helpful tips and directions around the airport. Lei lasted, at the advice of the lady, for a few days.

Dears Sirs, Aloha. I completely enjoy your show and over all Luau, and have attanded your facility for three consecutive Island visits.
Each time I come, I bring new visitors to the Islands and they always enjoy the Luau activities/show.
I remember additional games and venders and missed them both this late trip.
I will continue to visit and recommend you to others s a must do when in Oahu.
Aloha

We easily could have spent all day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and definitely hope to go back and do so someday! But for our 6-year old daughter, that would have been far too much. She enjoyed the canoe ride, the tattoos, the leaf weaving, and the poi demonstration. She is still talking about the dinner. Us grown-ups also loved the experience. The luau and the after show were exceptional! Far better than a previous, more expensive and over-rated experience on Maui. I think that if you only do one tourist activity on Oahu, this should be it, including the show. The HA show is WELL worth the price!

We were staying at the Royal Lahaina, so we got to hear another Luau on another night... It was a little different than the Luau we attended, which I think is nice because it makes it a unique experience!
The food was great. I highly recommend getting the "speed pass" for an additional $15 at the door and arriving early to get the best seats! It's well worth the additional money :-)

Visiting the Poly. Cultural Center is a must do when visiting Ohau. This is a very enjoyable, educational and informative view of the Hawaiian Island. We had the VIP tour with a wonderful guide Wendy. Just when we thought it could not get any better we attended the theatrical show "Ha The Breath of Life" which was outstanding. What ever you do do not miss this.

After driving around the Big Island, I participated in this tour.
It was exciting to see the scenery and the overall landscape of the island that I couldn't see from the car.
In Hawaii, the clouds feel very low. The moment I entered the clouds, water droplets formed on the window, and the wind from the propeller made them slide down the window at an incredible speed, which was quite a surprise.
I could see the boundary between the grassy areas and the black regions where lava had solidified, observe plants growing only along the river in places without paths, suddenly encounter a volcano with glowing red lava inside, and get close to a magnificent waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. It was truly a tour that allowed me to experience the grandeur of Hawaii's nature.
I was hoping for a Japanese pilot, but unfortunately, it was conducted in English.
If I understood a bit more English, it would have been even more interesting... I realized my lack of English skills.
Of course, the pilot was very refreshing and a wonderful person.
After seeing the overall landscape from here, driving around the island might spark more interest in various things.
車でハワイ島を回った後に参加。
車では見えなかった景色や島の全貌が見え興奮ものでした。
ハワイは雲がとても低く感じられます。
雲に入った瞬間に窓に水滴がつきプロペラの爆風ですごい勢いで窓を伝って滑り落ちていく様までが珍しく、驚きの連続でした。
草原地帯と、溶岩の固まったような黒いエリアの境目が見えたり、道なき場所にある川沿いにだけ植物が育っているのをみたり、急に火山が出現しその中で溶岩が赤く光っているのをみたり、そうかと思えば、緑あふれるにある壮大な滝に接近したり、本当にハワイの自然の壮大さを体感でいるツアーでした。
日本人パイロットもいるということでそれにかけていましたが、残念ながら英語対応。
もうちょっと英語がわかればもっとおもしろかったのに…。自分の英語力のなさを痛感しました。
もちろんパイロットさんは、とっても爽やかで素敵な方でしたいよ。
こちらで全貌をみてから島を車でまわると、いろいろなことに興味がもてていいかもしれません。

You get lei'd and you get a welcome drink and your picture taken with a hula dancer. You get to do activities like how to make a lei and get your picture taken while you are ona canoe ride. Then you get a little bit of Polynesian history of how to get and break a coconut, how the old hawaiians catch fish, and the many different ways to wear a sarong. Then everyone gathers in the Imu Stadium where you see the unveiling of the slow cooked wrapped in Ti leaves, Kahlua Pig from the pit. Then they sit you down for a delicious luau feast. And you can asks for 2nds and 3rds. Then concluding night of an hour long fantastic entertaining show of music, hula dancing and a Samoan fire dance. It is located in Ko Olina. Fabulous ocean views and sunset. Do not forget your camera! Alooooooooooha!
