All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Super fun cruise and nice views over the water and waikiki

This is well worth the cost which is very fair. The only slight initial upset was we were standing in the wrong line and by the time we knew the right boat was fully occupied leaving us with no seats. Most of the group were from a wedding party and much younger able to get in seating areas, we had to sit on bow which worried me but ended up being just fine. I just wish the boat hadn’t been quite so crowded. Some people our age may have been annoyed at the loud atmosphere ( people and music) but we found it exciting. It had been nearly 20 yrs. since we did this kind of activity and so glad we did. FYI-we are 56&60 yrs. young.

We have done a couple of other Luaus since the pandemic, and this by far is best one so far that is closet to a normal luau prior to covid. We got the plumeria package, totally worth it. The show was spectacular and food was great! Compared to other luaus completely recommend Germaines and would do this again. Booked through Veltra, it was easy and seamless.

This luau was super great and family oriented. The whole staff puts so much effort into a great show! As well it is so awesome to get a free pass to Waimea falls, great purchase for your buck!!

The crew, the view, the booze all top notch. Best cruise in town

The crew and performers were amazing! The dinner its self was very good! Over all my favorite memory of our time in Waikiki! Dancing on a ship can be tricky tho! Lol

Best Value, most fun you can have on Waikiki! Given the fact it was Halloween eve, the boat was rockin costumes, the drinks were awesome and the sunset was spectacular. Captain and crew were fun and made everyone feel great. We were lucky the seas were very calm and the weather was perfect. This is a must do!

Wonderful crew! Immediately greeted with a welcome Mai Tai! They were not afraid to hit any big waves and played great music!

Dinner was good and the drinks and we just love the Hawaiian dancers and the entertainment they provided. Definitely a must do when visiting Hawaii.

Absolutely amazing & affordable ! Drinks were great and the crew made it very welcoming ! Definitely will be doing this again !

Very friendly and great time had by all. Come here often will do again.

Went as 2 couples to the show and it was a blast. We got two free Mai Tai's each and they were good, not watered down. The show was AWESOME, it told a lot of history and the Chief was quite funny. The fire spinning was great and very cool. They have a few world champions doing the show.

It is buffet style, and they have two different lines when you go to the buffet. There is a Pick your own food, and a server prepared plate. The server prepared they give you a little of each things. You can go back later and get more of what you want. The Pick your own food is slow and it will take time, but the other line is very very quick.

The sunset cruise was so much fun!
From the first minute there was a positive vibe on the boat and the free drinks were served faster than you could drink! ! The crew was full of energy and a party atmosphere.
It could have been less crowded, but we still had a great time! Definitely recommend!

Awesome crew!!! They seem to really enjoy their work as well as each other. They kept it popping!!!!

My Family and I didn’t really know what to expect with this cruise; we picked the deluxe lobster and steak dinner…. We were thoroughly impressed all the way with the deliciousness of the meal to the entertainment and the Polynesian culture dances! The service was impeccable, the people were very friendly and the cruise was beautiful especially the view of Diamondhead! I felt like the ship was in great condition and looked very nice too! I highly recommend!

Excellent service, food and entertainment!!! I recommend this to everyone.

Great place to visit. Highly recommend going but honestly will next time rent a car or take an Uber and just pay at the park or on line for tickets. We went with buffet and stayed for the show. Things could get hairy at the end because the bus you arrive in may not be the same you head back on. There are multiple buses waiting and you have to ask each driver if they are going to your stop. We were very lucky to hit the right bus on the first try. Need a better system. Great place to visit with kids. Folks there are super friendly.

I really had a great time and the crew was fun and made it an even better experience. The alcohol selection was limited but it was flowing.

I will definitely go on this again!

This luau was nothing short of awesome! The chief is awesome and so hilarious. Food was pretty delightful too! Would certainly recommend to a friend who is heading to Oahu!!

Staff was very friendly and interactive. The cruise was delightful and the atmosphere was lively.

I highly recommend this service!! It was the biggest smile I've seen on my husband in a long time! It was our 30 year anniversary Hawaiian trip and after that long flight, it was delightful to get a true Hawaiian greeting!! The young lady was gracious and very informative! She directed us straight to the shuttle service send took several pictures for our memory book. The flowers lasted 5 days and kept our condo smelling like a sunny floral garden.

The crew were so friendly and professional. Great vibes

This trip to Oahu was our wedding/honeymoon trip. Other than our big day, this was out favorite part of our stay! Such a fun experience! The staff was very friendly and it was obvious they genuinely wanted you to have a great time with them! We tell everyone if there was something we could've done a second time while we were there, this cruise would have been it! The single downside to this activity is just finding where to meet, and finding parking for those not staying in the area. Maybe by the time you go, they'll have big booze cruise signs around and parking recommendations online

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a beautiful, fun, living museum. Pacific Island Native people use songs and traditional dances to tell the stories of their culture. They have reverence for the Islands and also have fun showing the beauty and fun of their heritage. We visitors are referred to as “Family”. We are made to feel very welcome and are invited to participate in crafts, dance and games with the Island people. The Buffett and the show are wonderful. Thank you!!!

This tour was amazing!! Our two guides made us seem so welcome and they make sure you have plenty of alcohol to enjoy your time on the boat! I highly recommend wearing a swimsuit - if you want to enjoy the front of the boat with the best views you will get completely drenched, but that was our favorite part! 10/10, would do again for sure!

Tao Luau is the best outstanding food. Staff are friendly and welcoming

That was an amazing luau! Definitely will have to do it again! The food was delicious and the performances were awesome!

This sunset cruise was fun! Lots of options to drink- beer, wine, white claws, Mai Tais. The Mai tais were alright. The sunset was beautiful. A guy coming off the one before us said “I don’t know if I’m sea sick or drunk”

We booked this trip for our last full night in Waikiki, but unfortunately, it was the only cloudy day of our week.

However, that didn't stop us from having a really good time. The drinks were flowing and the crew was incredible. We had some great conversations with them and other people on the trip.

I think this tip was one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely recommend it.

While we enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center overall, this day was entirely too long for our taste. There really wasn't much to do at the center to fill up our time, so we just sitting around waiting for the Luau dinner. And, the gift shop is on the other side of the entrance, so we couldn't even shop to kill time, which we would have loved to do.

The Luau was delicious, especially the welcome drink in the pineapple. And, the show was fantastic, but we were tired of being there all day.

So, if you want to waste a full day in paradise with not much to do, then this is the excursion for you.
