Meh....

The entertainment was superb!!! The food, however, was cold, undercooked, and no flavor. I do understand the institutional food prep, but it could have been better.

My Birthday

The he show was nice. My favorite performance was the fire show . Food was decent the bad food was the pork overly salty which was the experience from the group in the vip section with me and my wife. But overall it was a good experience. Kind regards Tony

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show
Fun, Fire, and Flare
Reviewed by: Daniel Hunt
This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.
I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Polynesian Cultural Center!
Reviewed by: Gregory
The experience was awesome! We got to learn and experience a lot of what the native Polynesian cultures were like. Many of the staff are actually university students who help fund most of their education through working here so that is nice to know.
The Buffet was the biggest Buffet hall and selection that I have ever seen- there was live music too and it was all just beautiful. The food was really good too!
The Fire Dance show was just an amazing performance. All the people responsible for making this were so skilled. It looked like everyone was having a great time.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Great show but the provided transport got us there late
Reviewed by: Shawn M.
We appreciated the Chief's showmanship and humor as well as the dancers. Food was very good and we were thoroughly entertained.
Only negative is that we bought the package with transportation and it got us there after all the cultural activities were finished. That was disappointing since we could have just Ubered over and skipped the bus ride. Keep in mind that this Luau is quite a ways from the Waikiki area.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
The best thing we did in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Maung
Anyone who plans to visit Hawaii must see the show- Breath of life. It’s one hr thirty minutes long but it’s worth every minute of it.
The Gateaway buffet has plenty of dishes to offer and we had like 2:30hr to savor the food. My favorite was Tuna Sashimi, cut fresh from a fish on display. Every station has four different varieties of dish.
The villages are fantastic. Each one is unique in terms of activities and entertainment. Staff were mainly Uni students.
I have 5 star rating to PCC.

Mauka warriors luau
Reviewed by: DC
The luau was entertaining and informative. The food was good too. Staff did a good job of moving 500 people through the lines. Only two watered down drink tickets. The free choices were only offered at one stand. For 500 people. Not enough.
I enjoyed the pictures on arrival. I think more opportunities for pictures would have been good.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
It is like entering the Disneyland of Polynesian culture!
Reviewed by: Dee
Amazing and warm welcoming staff on every corner; the performances are top notch, we were entertained to a great FINALE show, Buffet Dinner was overwhelming!
We loved and enjoyed learning a lot of things about the Polynesian culture! All the performances were just by fat the best. I love the activities in each country that you can participate in, hands on and fun too!
My son is a typical “everything boring” esp by the wnd of the day, but as soon as the lights went off for the “HA” show he was mesmerized and totally enjoyed it.
We wanted to experience the LUAU dinner but I think we did not look through good enough with the package we bought. Buffet Dinner was not bad at all…just missed seeing a traditional lu’au
Next time!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Pretty good Luau
Reviewed by: DRS
This was my 2nd Luau ever and this one was way bigger than I expected. I would say at least 500 people or more! liked the entrance it was beautiful. I did feel like a bit of herd of cattle coming in. We got seated pretty close to the stage which was nice for us non VIP’s.
The pre show activities were ok. We got temporary tattoos and watched a guy climb up a coconut tree.
The pig coming out of the ground was kinda gross but interesting. As far as the actual food goes, it was just OK.
The pork and rice was good. the chicken and fish were bland. The chocolate cake for dessert was dry. The pineapple was good, very juicy.
The show itself was very good & entertaining. It moved fast which we liked. Overall it was a fun experience. My young daughter liked the dancing & we were able to get a picture with some of the dancers

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show
Great fun with friends!
Reviewed by: Lala Kitty
After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~
Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.
Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.
The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.
But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.
10/10 would definitely recommend!

Wasn't worth the money
Reviewed by: Michelle
Too long of a time before the food. The moving from station To station to see the different classes. Should be performed on the stage during wait time. When it was time to eat it was crazy. I was told they would call tables at a time. Didn't happen. It was a stampede..Food was taken away quickly. Just seemed uncoordinated the customer service seemed unapproachable.
Best part was the exit out of the venue.. but wait that was my doing.

We enjoyed Toa Luau so much! Our children, 2 & 4, had a wonderful time as well. The cast/crew are the same people running the activities before the meal, and serving the meal, then putting on a great show - their hard work and enthusiasm is inspiring <3 I noticed their attention to detail in how smoothly the check-in, meal, and all the transitions went. Highly recommend!
