We flew from Seattle and purchased the Deluxe Package to celebrate my husbands 45th birthday. I didn’t know what to expect and was wondering if I wasted my money due to a previous review stating that buying purchasing the Deluxe Package was a waste because of COVID. Well, I’m soooo glad I purchased the higher package option! We had full table service, to include drink service and our meal being delivered to us on glass plates. The other packages had to get up and get their food from the buffet area where it was pre-packaged so there was a definite distinction with the Deluxe Package. If you have never been to this luau, it’s a MUST! The food, customer service and show was phenomenal! My husband and I were totally satisfied as this luau totally exceeded our expectations!

We took my Son for his birthday, and did the deluxe package. Was exited as we would be up close to watch the show. Was sad to learn the buffet is closed, and the options of food they bring to your table is minimal. I remember coming before and there being so many options.
The pre shows are bleh. They don’t even do the ceremony of raising the pig from the ground. They just roll the pig on a cart thru the seating area.
The good was “okay” at best. Again, wish there would have been more options. Also, the table service was just for dinner. There were not enough staff members to do drink orders for us from our table. So, essentially it was a waste to do the deluxe package. Everyone else had their food brought to them as well with a less expensive package. And, the seating is close enough to where you can see the show decently from any table.
The photo they give you at the end of you/your party - we ended up with 3 of the exact same picture. Not even a minor change. It’s like they printed the same photo 2 times. And free gift was a little whine/mixed drink tumbler . Not really something my 10yo will use. Would have been nice to have a different option for the younger kids.
My opinion, don’t waste your money on the deluxe package.

We were re-scheduled because of heavy wind, but they were very quick to make the new time painless and easy. Fun time out on the water, sunset, whales, good food, and awesome staff. Overall we were very happy and would definitely do the trip with them again! The boat was big enough that we were comfortable, but small enough to make us feel like a part of a group out for a joy ride.

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.

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。

I lived on Oahu, and have attended many of the popular, industrial, Luaus on the island. Due to Covid, most were closed, so we went with Waimea Valley Toa Luau. I can say it was by far the most intermate, and authentic luau I've ever been to. The "cheaper" tickets still have a great, elevated view. The members/staff/performers are all family and the demonstrations they have are authentic to their history. With the admission to Waimea valley included, you can easily make an entire day of exploring the valley and concluding with the Luau. It truly felt like a family cookout (which is the true spirit of a luau) and not an assembly line of people and mediocre food (as most other industrial luaus are). Homemade coco drink, and no less than 5 fire throwers at once, put Waimea Valley Toa Luau over the top for me. Also, not a coconut bra in sight...

My husband and I booked this dinner cruise on a whim. We are SO glad we did! We were immediately greeted by the incredibly friendly crew and then went to the top of the boat and took a seat. It was absolutely beautiful outside and the ambiance of the boat was perfect for honeymooners. There is new owners who just purchased this boat and have revamped everything, so it is freshly painted and has beautiful lighting all throughout.
It is BYOB, so make sure to bring your favorite beer, wine, or liquor. The bartender, Savannah, has your basic things like soda, orange juice, and pineapple juice, so she was able to mix us up a fruity cocktail with the liquor we brought.
We had such an amazing time. They served short ribs, mashed potatoes, and veggies. It was SO good! So flavorful and I am not much of a short ribs kind of person. My husband and I mainly hung out at the bar with Savannah and Kimberly and we had SO much fun! They told us about all the local spots to hit up and we just talked and laughed all night long.
The captain of the boat (I wish I could remember his name!) was SO wonderful! He was such a nice man and you can tell he has worked hard on making sure this boat is a great experience for everyone.
They were hosting a booze-cruise after our dinner cruise and we wanted to go so bad, but we drove to the marina and weren't sure how we would have gotten back to our hotel if we joined haha! Wish we could have though!

We went on our cruise last night and it was wonderful despite the fact that I got seasick. My husband and kids absolutely loved it. I was unable to eat my food but again, my hubby and kids said the food was amazing. The fish and short ribs were superb to them.
I regret not buying motion sickness meds. If you think you will get sick,please take meds a day prior and about 2 hours prior to your cruise. Now, about the staff. They are uhhmazinggg. They are very attentive and sweet. Make sure you have cash to tip them very good. Also, you need cash for the photographer if u want to buy your pictures.
It was nice meeting you folks, glad you had a good time.

I went on Prince Kuhio with friends and it was such a nice way to spend our Friday evening. It's the only dinner cruise that is open right now, and we were so happy with everything: service, dinner, boat. The overall vibe was friendly and chill, the crew was so nice, and dinner was served hot and had good portions. Also the generous slice of cheesecake was really good! They have a cute tiki onboard where you can order whatever you'd like. Only thing I'd recommend is to bring sea-sickness preventatives! I get seasick very easily so I made sure to take dramamine prior to the cruise and I am so thankful. We went on a day when the water was pretty rough and there was a lot of swell and although it was hard to walk around the deck, I didn't get seasick. I was very impressed with this dinner cruise and it's a great option if you want a change of scenery!
Glad you enjoyed the trip and the meal we enjoyed having you aboard.

We made a reservation for our first night in Hawaii. On board, we enjoyed fun songs and dances, and the drinks were stylish and representative of Hawaii. We also had photos taken, creating wonderful memories. The atmosphere was perfect! However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. The steak was almost raw, and the all-you-can-eat crab was quite salty. Still, it was enjoyable enough that it’s worth going! The staff who served us were very nice.

Ten of us participated, ranging from my 5-year-old grandchild to 60 years old.
In Japan, where safety is a top priority, my 5-year-old grandchild was probably not allowed to ride a horse alone, but here, they were able to ride by themselves and were very satisfied!
We enjoyed horseback riding at our own levels, just relaxing as a family on the ranch.
Of course, communication was a challenge since Japanese was not spoken, but it was a refreshing experience for the grandchildren, which was great.

I chose the cheapest buffet course. The main dish was roast beef, and although there weren't many options, it was delicious. During the day, the weather was really nice, but it became cloudy in the evening, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset. It seems that the number of dancers in the show varies depending on the price. The person who was singing also provided commentary while singing, which was really great. At the end, all the guests formed a circle and danced, and it was so much fun. If I have another opportunity, I will definitely join again!
一番安いビュッフェのコースを選択
ローストビーフがメインで、品数はないけど、美味しくいただきました。昼間は、とってもいい天気だったのに、夕方から曇り空になってしまい、美しいサンセットは見られませんでした。ショーは、値段によってダンサーの人数が違うようです。歌を歌っていた人が、解説をしながら歌うという感じで凄く良かったです。最後には、お客さんもみんな輪になって踊って、とっても楽しかったです。またの機会があったら、また絶対乗ります‼️
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the shows and dances. We hope you will also enjoy the beautiful sunset next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Since I was there, I thought it would be nice to see a show, so I booked this place based on good reviews.
First, the food. The buffet-style dinner had a wide variety of options, including meat, fish, and cakes, and everything was very delicious. During the meal, they shared stories about history and we were able to watch a simple show.
After dinner, we moved to a room with a stage. Our seats were in the middle of the front row on the second floor, so we had a great view. The show included impersonations, a fire show, and hula dancing.
After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos.
Both the food and the show were amazing!
