We had an absolutely fantastic time. It rained the entire day and never put a damper on any of the festivities. Our luau dinner was delicious. One of the best activities we participated in on our recent vacation to Oahu. Each of the villages not only provided us with information and a look into the culture from a variety of islands but they also provided activities for us which were fun an interesting . If I ever return to Hawaii I will go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the full day experience including the luau.

We had a wonderful time! Not the typical luau where you basically eat, then watch a show. It’s very interactive, we are able to do things. Staff were so friendly and it really felt like a big family celebration. Highly recommended! Plus the free admission to the fall was breathtaking

We really enjoyed the day and had an excellent guide - JJ. Her beautiful smile was refreshing as was everyone's who worked there. Seemed like they all enjoy their job and are proud of the PCC.
So much education, impossible to see and grasp in one day. Beautiful scenery, wonderful entertainment. Was a little too warm, could have used a little AC here and there but no complaints!

This was my family’s first real luau at a beach and we enjoyed every minute of it. All of the activities are very well planned out so that no one misses out on any part of the luau experience. We purchased the Standard Package, which was supposed to be side view seating, but because of the stage position... we had an amazing up close view of the whole show. It was great that we wore sandals as it was on a sandy beach, I’m also glad we went with the Standard Package because the greeting lei we received upon entering was a beautiful seashell lei that unlike the floral lei, would not dry up and it turned out to be an amazing and unexpected souvenir. Regarding the grub, it was delicious and although it was supposed to be an AYCE buffet, there was hardly any side dishes or chocolate cake desert left by the time our table went up to the buffet. I guess my only complaint was that it could have been better directed during the buffet. Everyone looked starving and didn’t really follow the order the host’s instructions. Our family and a few others who were patient and followed directions were screwed by those who couldn’t wait to be called to the buffet and doubled up on every entree and side. Other than poor planning during the buffet, what I did get to eat was delicious!!! We cannot wait to do this again!

The guided tour and the whole experience was very good. We have actually seen a better Luau, however, the show made up for any kind of disappointment we would ever have with the Luau. Great facility, very clean, especially the restrooms. Wonderful family experience.

幾つか参加したOPツアーの中、集合場所で最も不安に感じました。というのも、大型バスが2台並んでいて、ものすごく大勢が待っている中、日本人は明らか自分たちのみ。出発時間は迫るし、迎えって、どこに来るの???まさかと思って先頭のバスの前に行ってみると、まさにこの2台がパラダイス・コーブに向かうバスだったのです。バウチャーを提示して名前を確認の上、空席に座るものの、ガイドさんの楽しそうな説明?に、道中から盛り上がる皆さんと違って、キョドるばかりの私たち。それでも、施設内で使えるカードを配るガイドさんは、スマホの翻訳機能の画面で、何とか説明しようとして下さいました。ワイケレを過ぎて、コオリナ・リゾート地区に入ると、ウエディングフォトの名スポット!観光列車鉄道の線路を渡って、まもなく到着します。参加者は、ずらっと並んで、ウエルカムドリンクを受取り、1組ごとに写真撮影(←帰りのバスでもらえます!)ショーが始まるまでは、自由にお楽しみ♡♡生花でレイや腕輪を作る、カヌーに乗る、タトゥーのように腕に絵を描いてもらう、有料の写真撮影に参加する等々、もらったカードでお好みの色んなイベントを体験できます。土産物やトロピカルなドリンクやかき氷などの買い物もできます。辺りが暗くなるほどにワクワク感が増して、あちこちで写真撮影をする内に、豚の丸焼きも焼けたようです(^^♪ ヤシの木にするする登ったり、漁網を引く催しの後のビュッフェは、高級とは言えないものの、自分たちにも食べやすいメニューで、白いご飯もあって、十分満腹になりました。一番楽しみにしていた伝統のルアウ、ハワイアン レビューは、様々な踊りが次々に繰り出され、観客参加のシーンも交えて、司会?されているお話は、ちっとも理解できないながら、他のお客様は大盛り上がりでした。ハワイだけでなく、多分?ポリネシアのダンスも披露され、夜になってクライマックスのファイヤーダンスは、サイド席からでも迫力があり感動的でした。ワイキキに向かう帰りのバスも、余韻に浸って満足感でほっこりしつつ、ダウンタウンの街並みを眺め帰着しました。最後に!施設内では、冷水やコーヒーは自由に飲め、ゴミ捨ても用意されて、清潔なトイレも安心して利用できたので、本当に良かったです。

The luau itself was amazing. My family and I enjoyed participating in the pre show activities while learning about true polynesian culture and traditions. It's a smaller luau with only about 200 guests but with the smaller number of patrons you really get to interact and learn from everyone involved.
The host for the activities, Uncle Bob, has a great sense of humor as do the men that do the "cooking" and food prep demonstrations. These men are no joke, they even climbed up the coconut trees. They teach you about a traditional tribe welcoming and uses the guests to act as the tribes while explaining the rituals associated with welcoming guests to their community.
Not a huge selection of foods to sample but everything there was delicious. Kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, green salad with macadamia nuts, rice, rolls, chantilly cake from Teds Bakery and a coconut type of jello dessert.
The family band that played music during dinner was Amazing. Those kids can really sing! The dancing was very traditional, not just girls in coconut bras and hula skirts, but real polynesian dancing showcasing dances from a variety of the polynesian islands. I was a VIP guest and we were right at eye level with the stage but it looked like most people would have quite a good view of the stage. We also got to go to the buffet first and got great souvenirs. My husband and I got hand fans, my son got a wooden Maui-type hook necklace and my daughter got a wood beaded bracelet that said Hawaii with hibiscus flowers printed on it. After dinner and show on your way out you were able to speak more with the staff and dancers and take pictures with them.
If it was your birthday we all sang happy birthday and you got an extra piece of cake, if it was your anniversary or honeymoon they brought you onstage for a slow dance and gave you a nut lei.
All this plus you get entry into the Waimea valley where you can swim in a waterfall and see beautiful trees and foliage!
Aloha, and mahalo mui for your review. We are review. We are pleased to know that you had the best time at the luau. It is with delight that we read your review of your luau, which we have planned to be an Interactive one. I by the way also hope the band played and sang Blue Bayou. That song, sang by an of the kids is a real tear jerker.

The Toa Luau was a great first luau for our family (30 to 60 year olds). Waimea Valley itself is beautiful; definitely come at least 2 hours early to be able to walk to the waterfall and enjoy the scenery. The pre-luau activities like weaving grass head bands, husking coconuts etc were fun. The show itself was fantastic too - they performed authentic ceremonies and dances from different Polynesian islands. The host was hilarious! Only slight downside was the food was only mediocre. We are all vegetarian and our main entree was bland quinoa; but we were happy there was even a vegetarian option (you have to request ahead of time though). Overall this luau is definitely worth it and we will recommend it to all of our family and friends!!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are glad you had fun at the luau although it looks like we need to work on our menu. When you come back to do the luau please let us know beforehand so we could make preparations for you to have a better meal. We hope to see you soon!

I purchased The deluxe package which included GREAT seats and table service so i didn't even have to get up for anything. The waiters were very attentive and kept making sure i was doing ok.

This was our first time in Oahu and first time at a Luau. Highly recommend Toa
Luau. We arrived a few hours early since ticket includes admission to the Waimea Valley Gardens and Falls. Bring swimsuits and take a dip into the waterfalls at the end of the valley! We walked back to the Luau in time for the fun activities and 'pre-Luau' events includes crafts. We attended as a couple but this would be wonderful for families. The Luau then began with an amazing show complete with dancing and fire! Cousin Billy our host was entertaining and hospitable--the entire experience has a 'family' welcoming vibe. The food was good with a variety of choices. Because we were on our honeymoon Cousin Bill called up all the anniversaries/honeymoon couples for a special gift and blessing which was so special to us. We would definitely return this time with our family! Great job Toa Luau we'll be back!

Being a small physical park area, walking between activities was not stressful and workers were happy to help if you couldn't find a show. Great value for money.
