All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

We came to Waikiki for a wedding, first night 8 of us took the cruise. It was absolutely fabulous! The captain and first mate were outstanding, knowledgeable and extremely attentive. While out we were able to see whales and dolphins which was an unexpected and great surprise.

Everyone had a terrific time and would go again in a heartbeat!! We highly recommend it to everyone!

Exactly what I hoped for. Weather and views were great (pretty windy out on the water) and all the staff made the experience fun. Alcoholic drink options were Coors extra or mai tai from a cooler.

Loved loved loved this sunset sail!!! The crew was awesome and so was the view

We were initially skeptical of going to any Luau after a previous experience we had on Maui. We were concerned it would feel like a crowded dinner show instead of an authentic experience. We live on Oahu and had guests who really wanted to go. Tao Luau appealed to us because Waimea Falls is a beautiful setting away from resorts, and it has way less occupancy for the event then the others (200 compared to up to 800!). We were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome, hands on experience, delicious dinner, and stunning show. We have visitors coming in a week, and more in the summer, and have already booked for two more times!

Had a great time on here. Saw the dolphins, turtles, and swam with some cool fish. The crew was cool and made it a good time.

Boarding the catamaran was the best decision in years! Helpful and fun staff take you sailing to see a beautiful view of the island while sailing back in the sunset. Both romantic and fun! The Catamaran staff makes you feel like family and truly shoe you a good time on the water .

This was the best choice we could have made on this trip!! Went on the sunset cruise on 3/30/21. Crew was informative and fun, and the drinks were flowing! We saw whales and dolphins too. Tried to bribe them to let us stay out on the water once we were getting close to the end of our trip - didn’t work but we tried LOL! 10/10 recommend this one!!

We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The crew was so friendly and we chatted with them a bunch. The views were breathtaking, especially the white towers of Honolulu and Diamond Head. And we also saw a humpback whale!!! Felt taken care of and had a great time.

Had an amazing time on the sunset cocktail cruise! Truly magical and fun and a great crew!!! The crew is very knowledgeable and fun! Very accommodating with photos.
Crew spotted a family of mantas which just made the trip even better ! So amazing !!!! It was BYOB so we brought our own cocktails but the boat offers a good variety of drinks for $20 all you can drink !
Would highly recommend !!!

This was one of the best things we did in Hawaii! Workers were amazing, Mai tai’s were amazing, service was amazing.

It was the perfect ending to a full day! Captains take care of you, ocean breeze, a mai tai in your hand, great music and the sunset...what more do can you want! Jay Jay and crew two thumbs up!

Such a great time! Went in February 2021. Drinks were flowing, music was great. The crew were awesome. Amos and Mitchell? I think! And another guy. But anyways they took lots of pictures for everyone and really interacted with everyone which was fun. My only complaint was that you have to get a little wet getting on and off the boat but I guess that's also part of the charm. Definitely more of a "fun" cruise than something quiet and relaxing. Would definitely go again!

We have done the Ka Moana luau this was sooo awesome! Food was good, service was great, and the show was so awesome and engaging! 100% would recommend!!

Loved that the cruise was BYOB, but there was an option to purchase drink bracelets for $20. Great views, but just wish the crew would have pointed out what we were looking at in Waikiki! Didn't really cruise towards Diamond Head, just went straight out from the dock and then back in. Price is a little high for what you're getting, even with the 15% off discount.

Despite issues initially finding the slip that we took off from, it was a wonderful night of fun at sea

It was a little tricky to find but it was like a little Amazing Race for me and my boyfriend. It was beautiful and the weather was great ! The drinks were definitely a hit ! This was a must do in Hawaii!

Great maitais and great hosts! We also unexpectedly saw whales. I would definitely recommend this activity!

This was the very last thing we did before taking a red eye out of Honolulu and it was worth it! We’re so glad we did. Crew was awesome!

Everything from the booking to the sail and everything in between was well done and an adventure

Great ride with beautiful sunset. Staff was very friendly and made sure our mai tai’s were full. Book it. You won’t regret it.

So glad we booked the sunset cruise. We had such a good time and the cast/crew were amazing. They were very attentive, fun and G even played a great photographer for our group photos. Highly recommended. Would love to sail again if we are ever in HI.

Everything about this experience was great - the crew was very cool and down to earth and sociable. I got to chat with all of them and they all live very cool lives and treated my gf and I like family. They were very accommodating and hospitable. The boat ride itself was amazing as were the cocktails. The sunset was breathtaking and beautiful. Would definitely do it again and would recommend to friends and family.

Highly recommend this BYOB cocktail sail! Even though the weather wasn't super ideal, the boat crew still made us comfortable and catered to our needs. That included giving us cups for the alcohol we brought or providing ideal camera ops. It is a very low key activity, but what originally drew me to it was the BYOB option. Only two other couples and one small group of girls were present, so COVID rules were adequately followed. The boat is also big enough in that we were spaced out well. The things that really stood out for me from this experience was the animal spotting (saw a turtle and whale) and the crew's excellent attitudes. They made us feel right at home on the boat. Thank you for the good times!

My girlfriend and I just recently attended the luau on Valentine’s Day. We were welcomed in and sent straight to our table which was set up very nicely. The show was absolutely amazing even though I feel it was a little short. It started raining pretty heavily and although we appreciated the ponchos it does seem that tents should have been built to avoid what the forecast predicted. This made it really difficult for us to enjoy our food because everything was soaked. All in all the food was decent. We did however have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for someone to notice our on the table signifier for a waitress or bartender to serve us. Fortunately it did work out in our favor as by the time our food and drinks arrived the rain had settled. The chief was extremely funny and we have an experience that we plan to take back to the mainland and talk about for years to come. If you do happen to go to the luau make sure you check the weather because I guarantee you would enjoy it more with clear skies. To the event, I was strongly suggest that pop-up tents are invested in so that customers can truly enjoy the night as expected regardless of the weather.

Friendly crew and great cruise. Definitely recommend!

We booked this sunset cruise for Valentine’s Day and it was the most perfect way to end the evening! It was very easy to find, the crew was incredibly friendly, and the drinks were delicious. The crew was so willing to take photos, chat, and answer any
questions about Hawaii. I most definitely recommend this company and cruise!

We loved our sunset cruise!! So worth it! The crew was amazing and accommodating. Took pictures, made sure we were entrained, fantastic music. The covid protocols were outstanding. We would do this every night if we could!

Best Maitai I've had on the island! We live in Oahu and wanted to do something fun for a visiting guest. This experience did not disappoint! We even saw see whales on the cruise. Ian and Christina did a great job. We will definitely be going back with future guests.

Not only in Hawaii, but it also joyfully introduces the various types of dances found on the islands of Polynesia. It was amazing to see so many different kinds beyond just hula dance. (It might not be suitable for those who are only interested in hula dance?) The venue can be a bit difficult to find, so I recommend asking plenty of questions to those around you.

ハワイにとどまらず、ポリネシアの各島でどのようなダンスがされているか楽しく紹介をしてくれます。フラダンス以外に、こんなにたくさんの種類がみられるのすごかったです。（フラダンスのみでよい方にはちょっと不向きかも？）
会場が分かりにくいので回りのかたにたくさん質問することをお勧めします。

Fantastic crew! Friendly and informative! Even though we didn’t see any sea creatures we did get a beautiful sunset!
