Somewhat expensive for what it offers. As others mentioned it is funny at times, but nothing spectacular.

Unless you pay for the front seats you cannot see anything.

I sat towards the center tables to the left. I couldnt see anything because the performers sit too low on the stage. Also many people in the front seats (as if they already not happy enough with their view) would stand up and block our view. I missed the fire show. :(

Kind of disappointed…

Reviewed by: Mandy, 2022/08/27

The show was overall good, especially the fire dance at the end. And the chief is quite talented because he needs to run the show, tell jokes and play drums.

Anyway,
This luau is inside the water park, and we use the restroom inside the water park which is a 5 minutes away from the luau place. Before the sun goes down, it’s very hot and sweaty. And we don’t have much space while seating. The experience was not pleasant.

Also, after everyone takes a picture and ready to seat down, they give u a cup of mai tai and takes one of the drink tickets. Don’t take that Mai Tai drink right away, just go to the bar section for the drinks.

And there are one thing I can’t figure it out, before the buffet starts, they showed us a roast pig and said this is gonna be one of the main course tonight. And everyone go line up for the buffet, the only dish pork-related is the pull pork which has nothing to do with the roast pig for sure. And they didn’t cut the roast pig in front of everyone. It looks like the roast pig is one of the actor for the luau.

For the price we are paying, we expect more.

Laua

Bus was late, missed beginning. Paid for V.I.P. and nothing was V.I.P. Show was good what we could see. Crowded seating. Food ok, pork was very salty. Pineapple drink was $30 and didn't except the tickets given to us for it. Wouldn't take cash for pictures, only card. $30 for picture.

Great entertainment but not so great food

Reviewed by: Hawaiian @heart, 2022/03/27

This was not our first luau so we had something else to compare it to. The story line/context of the dance/show was very similar, performed better at Chief’s, the comedy was fantastic but the food fell so far short I felt like we paid way too much for the overall experience.

Entertainment was the highlight

Reviewed by: David, 2016/04/09

The activities, dancing, and MC were very good. The food, however was just average. I have been to several luau before all of which had a better food selection.

So and so!

It has been a beautiful night, with a very normal dinner, nothing special for the price, with a beautiful show at the end. My disappointment was because I paid for a Royal seating and the seating was not good at all. I had to stand up and sit on the ground to have a beatiful view and I also didn't get the lei. But all the staff people were really very kind and I enjoyed the traditional dances and the fire knives dance.

Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park Hawaii

Reviewed by: Harold Walters, 2014/04/21

The performances were so-so. The seating was not good even though
it was Royal seating. We didn't get our lei as promised. The food
was not very good for the price. The one saving grace was that the
staff was very nice. The young people who delivered the food was
thoughtful and polite and returned to see if we wanted more food.
The mixed drinks were no more than sugar water. I attended the
Sea Life Luau about 5 years ago and it was excellent.
