Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show

Great Luau

Reviewed by: Hawaii Travelers

I’ve been to many luaus and this one was great. The warrior stories and performance was stunning. The food and drinks were good and authentic. The openness of the venue and seating arrangements were appreciated.

Only aspect that was a bit disappointing was the bus/shuttle that took us to the luau: 1) there were a lot of sick people on the bus coughing and sneezing, it would have been mindful to ask they were a mask or include instructions if sick not to take the shuttle 2) the shuttle stayed at the pickup locations for a long time, longer than they should have… this delayed our bus ride. Stick to the rules and please don’t delay other guests. 3) traffic and freeway accidents can’t be prevented or predicted, but if we left the bus stops on time it could have given us more time for pre luau activities.

Tips and suggestions

Consider driving and not taking the bus.

Reviewed by: drix

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.

Aloha Kai Sea Life Park Luau - Oceanfront Polynesian Dinner Show & Fire Dance

Great value!

Reviewed by: Sammpanduh

We took advantage of the Sea Life Park tickets before hand and had a full day of fun and enriching experience. The luau was educational as well as entertaining and all of the performers were engaging and talented! From the daring of the tree climb to fire knives in the wind, we were blown away by the commitment of the team. The food was good and plenty abundant. The bar makes a mean Mai Tai.
If you do the park first, don't allocate TOO much time unless you have serious interest, it really only takes a couple hours to get the full experience.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Awesome show

Reviewed by: Dani

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.

Tips and suggestions

Plan extra time to get there from Waikiki. Traffic is terrible.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

I highly recommend Chief's Luau -- exciting and authentic entertainment!!

Reviewed by: LB

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!!

Tips and suggestions

I recommend the upgraded seating -- very VIP treatment!

Memories are made of experiences like this

Reviewed by: GJR

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.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「アロハ・カイ・ルアウ」 ブロンズシート(後方席)+シーライフパーク・ハワイ入場券<送迎可/シーライフパーク内>

日本人はいないです

Reviewed by: つ。

今回、シーライフパークも行きたいと思い、夫婦でこちらのツアーに応募しました。
しかし、シーライフパークは活気も無く、たまにあるショーも日本のものと比べてしまうとガクンとレベルが下がります。
ルアウまで3時間以上あり、とても待ち疲れしました。

ルアウはロケーションも良く、星も綺麗で、ワイキキのルアウでは体験できないようなショーを見れたのではないかと思っています。

日本人は私達のみで、英語も喋れないので常に緊張していたのもあり、とても疲れました。
ルアウが良かったことよりも、1日がとても長いという感想が勝ってしまいました。

ハワイ初心者の私達にはまだ早かったです。

Tips and suggestions

ハワイ初心者の方はルアウのみの参加をオススメします。
