Awesome Show!
Reviewed by: Shani Freeman, 2021/07/20The show was phenomenal, food was tasty and views spectacular. I misread and thought it was open seating, but it wasn't. It was well organized, staff were definitely hospitable and the show was truly entertaining even my kid who doesn't like anything like the whole experience. It is a must see! MAHALO!

Awesome
Reviewed by: Grisel, 2021/06/06This luau had some really good food. The drinks were ok but could be better. I had gone to a different luau and had our own table so when they told we're sitting with others I was surprised but wasn’t bad. Also the benches could use some cushion. By the time the show started my butt was already hurting.

Great experience
Reviewed by: José A., 2021/06/05Did the V.I.P table for my father’s Birthday and the whole family had a blast definitely would suggest booking the VIP because of the drink service and food service brought to you. It also includes a picture for every adult in your group.

Nice Dances
Reviewed by: Natalia, 2021/05/26The food can be better, also, the ticket said it was waiter served, but It wasn't like that, it was only for the VIP tables . Also, the ticket said open seating, and they didn't let us sit where we wanted and assigned us the farthest table, where we couldn't see very well.
Aloha Natalia, I'm sorry you were disappointed, however you purchased our basic package which does not come with Table Service, or "waiter served". The Vip package comes with the Table Service for beverages and dinner. We normally offer open seating in the Original package, but due to the covid guidelines when you attended our luau, we couldn't. We had to assign tables for Tracking purposes, to know where all our guests were seated. It's a difficult task to sit people at safe distance to each other, with limited seating capacity. If you were able to book a little earlier, your seats may have been better. Even our Vip tables,..if you booked early for a certain date, the odds of you being seated in the front row would be greater. We hope you'll give us another chance on your next visit to our beautiful island, after we pass through this unusual time in our lives.
Sincerely, Germaine's Luau Ohana

Seating position
Reviewed by: California resident, 2021/04/30It is our first time to attend evening luau? We bought plumeria package so we can sit in the middle front row but we were seated on the side front table where we only see sideview of the performer so disappointing won't go there anymore and our server is not attentive as we expected we were the last one to board on our bus because we couldn't find our complimentary pictures we were directed to different people we couldn't find our server who is supposed to bring it to us? No, not worth it to buy plumeria package

Germaines Luau
Reviewed by: Ruth Crawford, 2019/11/09I thoroughly enjoyed Germaines Luau especially since it was on the beach.
The food was very good, the show was outstanding.

come back and do it again.

I call it a barefoot Luau....
Reviewed by: Ms.Ems, 2019/02/22Exploring Oahu can be so much fun and Germaine's Luau is one of them! Mind you, I have been to mostly all the Luaus on the island but not for Germaine's. I was only convinced to try when many of my "social media" friends were posting and saying good things about it.
I'm a local resident here, and three of my friends from the mainland came to visit so we decided to join the Luau. They took the bus transportation from Waikiki provided by Germaine's and I drove to meet them there. I checked-in half hour early which gave me ample time to explore around the area and take photos. It’s actually a very nice place! Beautiful private beachfront setting with a view of the spectacular sunset!
We ordered the Hibiscus Package which included 3 drink tickets that I was given immediately at the time of check-in. We had a nice center seating section, which provided a better viewing of the Polynesian entertainment. On our way to the bar and to the buffet line, my friends and I decided to leave our sandals under our bench table and went barefoot through the sand because it was difficult to walk in. It was still a fun night, your feet touching the sand makes it a unique Luau experience.
Their drinks..I think their cups are small but since I got 3, it was just good enough for me! The food was delicious, and lots of Polynesian entertainment! All of my expectations were met. Definitely recommended.
Aloha Ms Ems,
Thank you so much for your comments about your evening with us. As a local resident we really appreciate you coming with your friends to enjoy a night out. Most locals are pleasantly surprised how relaxed & comfortable they feel. So sorry you weren't aware of the special with the Drink Glasses, but the Escorts on the Buses mention it to the guests on the way to the luau. The Gate person doesn't always have time with so many people checking in at the gate. It's a great deal with the glasses, no matter which package you choose. So happy you enjoyed the food, and our entertainment. You chose the most popular package, the Hibiscus Luau Package, and I'm so glad you were happy with your choice. I hope you will tell your family and friends about your experience, and bring more friends out to our luau again sometime in the future, we really love to have our Kama'ainas out there!!
Sincerely,
Paulette

Awesome Luau!
Reviewed by: Dianna, 2019/01/30Great for friends looking for a fun time & get your money's worth of booze! We got the Hibiscus package which includes 3 premium drinks.
Do not go to the bar first! Go to the gift shop, buy yourself a $10 Tiki cup and double the value of your drink tickets! I wish someone had told me that beforehand. My first drink came in a little plastic cup that was half the size of the Tiki cup (See photos).
Good food & lots of entertainment! You really feel like you crashed a local's backyard party right down to the sand caught in between your toes at this beachfront luau.
Highly recommend, would love to go again!
Aloha Dianna,
Thank you for choosing to spend your evening with us at Germaine's Luau, you could have gone anywhere else....So sorry you weren't aware of the Special with the drink glasses, as it's usually mentioned on the bus coming out to the luau, so glad you found out about it. We hope you will share your memories with your friend and family, and maybe someday come back and visit us again!! We really appreciate you posting your comments, and your photos, and if you have some time you can post it on Instagram too....#germainesluau, or #experienceohana....
