My family had a great time at the Chief's Luau Show. We paid more for the Royal seats and received the royal treatment. I also got a free weaved bowl, went onstage, and received a bouquet of flowers since we had an anniversary >20 years. Great dancing - loved the fire show. A great show and good food. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu.

The way this show was organized and put together was amazing. We enjoyed every aspect of the show. They made it feel like you were a part of the performance the entire time. The only reason I gave the good rating was because the photographer didn't take enough time arranging our family of 17 so you could see everyone in the photo. Also she quickly snapped the two pictures before we were ready so eyes were closed in both pictures. We also wanted individual family photos and she wouldn't do it for us. She would have made more money by all of us buying a photo package. The food was OK, it was a little cold and the pork was dried out.
Plan extra time to get there from Waikiki. Traffic is terrible.

I really love this show! As a Maui local, I really loved seeing a show that was only Hawaiian hula. I understand Tahitian can be a bit more "exciting" for tourists, but the Na Lei Aloha group were captivating the whole show! The host (I believe his name was Keoki, forgive me if I'm wrong!) was engaging and explained all of the numbers in a very digestible way. The girls were gorgeous, the boys were funny, and the musicians were incredibly talented.
The dinner portion was amazing as well! An all you can eat buffet that included king crab legs and a prime rib station. Everything was delicious! The first drink (mai tai) was included, and we ordered 1 additional round of drinks (which were SO MUCH stronger that we didn't need another).
Overall just a truly wonderful experience.
Doing the dinner portion is absolutely worth it!

I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!
I recommend the upgraded seating -- very VIP treatment!

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

[VELTRA Staff Experience]
I had a spectacular experience at the Na Lei Aloha Show! The location is within walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki. The food was the best I've ever had at a luau. The all-you-can-eat buffet at Hyatt Hotel features perfectly cooked prime ribs, short ribs, and pork ribs. It's a seafood lover's paradise! They have high quality snow crab legs, made-to-order sushi, poke station, an incredible variety of salads, hot dishes, and an impressive selection of desserts. It’s hard to pick favorites because every dish was outstanding, I can't wait to go back.
The setting had a lovely intimate atmosphere, and the servers were attentive to every detail. The show was absolutely delightful, highlighting Hawaiian culture and the significance of the Lei, showcasing a wide array of flowers used to create these meaningful flower necklaces. The dancers were incredibly talented, and the storytelling was captivating—I couldn't stop smiling!
Mahalo nui! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us at Na Lei Aloha! Your support of this show also supports our efforts to promote regenerative tourism in Hawai'i, providing a quality and culturally authentic experience for visitors as well as an enhanced quality of life for local residents. We hope to see you again soon!

As we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful cold lei that made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect for Waikiki away from the crowds with stunning views of the ocean/sunset. The food was truly out of this world from just about every thing you could possibly think of. Sushi, meats, a quality salad bar, Korean BBQ, and not to mention the yummy dessert bar. Food for every pallet in the family.
The show was truly engaging, sweet, and wholesome. Based on the history of Waikiki and the importance of flowers being made into leis. Not like any other show i've seen on island. The duration of the activity was perfect, not too long not too short didn't feel rushed to eat or didn't feel like the show was dragging on. Would definitely recommend this for couples and friends looking to celebrate in a unique way.
Mahalo TravelGoddess! We love your comments about everything and especially about the food, the uniqueness of performance and appreciate your recommendations and sharing it with anyone traveling to the islands. Aloha.

Luau was amazing
Food was amazing
It’s just a shame that you guys didn’t pick us up.
Had to get a taxi to the show which was lucky we found one that could take my husbands mobility scooter.
Made some phone calls to complain and sent an email to complain
We were promised a ride back to hotel on bus.
The hostess on the bus on the way was very rude to us
We did receive a small refund which we will grateful for.
Just a suggestion (which I did mention in my emails) for future tours. That maybe your host on the buses actually go and check with all persons that may be waiting by the pickup point or little further away from pickup point. You are dealing with tourists and not everyone will know where the exact pickup points are. Also in our case have the actual name of the tour in front window of bus. Our bus did not have this. Otherwise we would like have know. The host for our tour actually started walking down towards where we were standing but turned back around half way down. She would have seen my husband was in a mobility scooter and would i assume have this information written on your paperwork.
