Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Wife’s 50th Birthday
Reviewed by: Popaye
Aloha!
There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.
Thanks again
Mahalo

The show was very good, particularly the chief. He is a talented entertainer who interacted very well with his audience. The dancers were also very talented.
The buffet dinner was okay, nothing special.

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show
One of the best Luaus in Hawaii! Had a great time!
Reviewed by: Julie_MC
[Reviewed by HawaiiActivties.com Staff]
I recently attended the Mauka Warriors Luau in Oahu and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainment. Having been to many luaus throughout Hawaii, I can say that Mauka Luau stands out with its unique and special show. The Thrilling Fire Knife Dancing was the best and most impressive on the entire island!
In my opinion, what makes Mauka Luau truly distinctive is its interactive experience and engaging storytelling, The mesmerizing hula and fire performances narrate fascinating stories of the islands' history
Before the dinner and luau show, there is a great variety of different hands-on Polynesian activities to enjoy.
While the buffet might not have the widest variety compared to other luaus, the food at Mauka Luau is incredibly tasty and presented beautifully.
The venue itself offers stunning mountain and ocean views of Waikiki and Honolulu, and if you look carefully, you can even catch a glimpse of Diamond Head in the distance. They strive to offer a more intimate setting and there is plenty of space in between the tables, so you don't feel crowded.
Transportation from Waikiki is available, making it convenient for guests, and the prices are affordable, offering excellent value for the experience you receive at the Luau. Plus, all guests receive complimentary professional photos sent directly to their phones, which is a nice touch.
I highly recommend checking it out!

Amazing value, views and shows
Reviewed by: E Magee
To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

Germaine’s Luau
Reviewed by: Trudy B
This was my family and I’s first time going to a luau. The atmosphere was very fun and welcoming. The dancers did a great job, especially the chief that danced with the fire. The drinks were nice and I like that we had unlimited soft drinks. The only downside is that the buffet was a bit underwhelming. Overall, my family and I enjoyed ourselves.

Amazing
Reviewed by: Courtney
Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.
Aloha Courtney and mahalo for leaving us this review and for sharing a very cute pic of your kid! Looks like she had fun husking the coconut. We're glad that you guys enjoyed your time at the luau. Mahalo for the recommendation, we truly appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Mahalo nui loa!

Reviewed by: YC Lin
A very professional high-quality show filled with authentic elements of traditional cultures, like how they instantly made baskets out of coconut leaves. Particularly, the host was good, that he was able to play with fire while being a genuine comedian, making fun of lovers and kids in such a delightful way. True respect to the host, our chief that night!

Fantastic experience and great show.
Reviewed by: Florence
Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.
