Big Kahuna Luau at Tantalus Mountain Top with Honolulu City View

Enjoyable evening
Reviewed by: Dirk, 2016/01/02Over the years, I have attended most of the luaus offered to visitors to Oahu. This was one of the better ones that I have seen. The food was your typical luau offering but the show was exceptional! I would say that if you are a "senior", you may find that the grounds are very uneven, hilly and can be very slippery if it's wet like it was the evening that I attended. This can make it difficult to walk around to the various locations that you want to see. They recommend that you bring a light jacket and I strongly recommend that you do so. It gets chilly on the mountain and you'll need it. All in all, a great evening with a beautiful view of the city below and an excellent show.

Entertaining and worth considering
Reviewed by: Stu Diggy, 2015/09/16Trying to be brutally honest here, this was a fun experience, but not outstanding.
Our bus driver Martino was super friendly and worked to keep us entertained on the drive up the mountain. He was on time, and the trip was c. 20 minutes, certainly no longer than they tell you about.
The views are fabulous and you have a couple of stops along the road to snap pics.
The workers at the luau are also very friendly. The activities seemed rushed and crowded. Good is you don't get bored. Bad is that you don't really get to do everything you might want. Oh, and they need to refine their painting technique/materials for the tattoos
Food was average. That was probably the biggest letdown. Hors d'oeuvre of single coconut shrimp was great. Drinks were fair, but a bit weak. Pork sample was good, would have liked for main course. Other food was fair. Not bad by any stretch, but fair.
Dancing/entertainment was magnificent. All of the dances were well performed.
My first luau so I can't compare w/ others. Didn't blow me away, but OTOH was enjoyable.
