Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.
The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

Had a great time. Definitely would recommend the Royal seating. We left an hour early and arrived a few minutes late, so plan your time wisely with traffic. All you can eat buffet was worth it. Had a few great laughs, enjoyed all the entertainment, crowd participation and cultural teachings. A must do on your list.

We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time
Aloha Krystle and mahalo for leaving us this review and also for the recommendation, we are truly grateful! We're glad that you had a wonderful experience with your Toa Luau ohana and enjoyed the show. Happy to hear that your kid enjoyed the activities. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!
I highly recommend this, especially for families!
My family had a great time!
Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to write us this review and for sharing your experience with us at the luau. We're glad that you and your family had an interesting and excellent experience and enjoyed the activities at the luau. Mahalo for the recommendation, we appreciate it!

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.
After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.
Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.
何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか?と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
Aloha Kris! We're glad that you had a great experience at the luau and had fun. Mahalo for this review, we greatly appreciate it! Hopefully you'd visit us again. Mahalo nui loa!

Super fun experience! The show was by far the most entertaining show we experienced during our stay in Oahu. The dancing was beautiful and the fire dancing was jaw dropping! We attended during our honeymoon and we were made to feel unbelievable special despite countless honeymooners and anniversaries attending as well. The only reason I did not award 5 stars is because the food was pretty mediocre. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. The drinks however, were delicious so that makes up for it!

I brought my family to the luau since it was our first time to Hawaii. The dancers, musicians and fire knife dancers were very impressive. The food was abundant and pretty good. The weather cooperated, and it was a lovely evening.
Compared to other luau experiences I looked at, this one was affordable. However, I didn’t feel like the food was as good as it could have been. The chicken was good—but it was dark meat. The pork was tender but had little flavor. The dessert was cake with a few pieces of pineapple next to it. Pretty expensive for dinner and entertainment.
It was nice that two drink tickets for beer, wine or Mai Tais were included with each ticket and free water and juice were available to all.
It was fun that the cast came out afterwards so people could have their pictures taken with them.
