Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
They didn’t call you Chief for nothing
Reviewed by: Midweek
This is not your regular Luau event that you go to. My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary and it’s his first trip after 35 years. I was surprised to know that I was not only watching or going to a luau but also going to a comedy show. Chief was amazingly great! His delivery was superb and did not seem rehearsed but was very natural. The staff (i feel bad that I didn’t get his name :( but he was great) took care of a mishap that happened and was very professional. Everyone was so great and I will definitely go back and tell my friends to make sure to see Chiefs Luau.

Wonderful family entertainment.
Reviewed by: Vickers & Family
We have been to others, but this one was the best ever! It was unforgettable
Nonstop entertainment with lots of variety, engaging the audience as well.
The basket weaving, coconut and fire demonstrations were great. Such a variety of food, drink and hula dancing, war dances, and lest anyone could forget, the fire dances ! We loved it!

Great experience with the family
Reviewed by: Christine
Such a nice time with the kids. They enjoyed the dancers the most and they really had skilled and amazing dancers. The Chief is entertaining and kind and just joyful. I enjoyed him hosting. The food is also very good and the kids tried everything. I think they did so well with the buses and the set up and the service. Its memorable. It’s a very large gathering and I’m amazed at how well they handled so many people.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Great experience and definitely worth the money.
Reviewed by: Theo
There were quite a few Luau options to choose from. After some searching, we decided to give Chief's Luau a try. It's good that they have pickup options and we don't have to drive. The pickup, drop-off, and check-in were smooth.
It was a cloudy evening with some sprinkles, but we were prepared.
Food was all-you-can-eat style, with them serving you at the station. Food varieties was limited compared with Polynesian Culture Center, but the quality was good. They even gave us 2 drink tickets for each person. That's enough for the night.
The dancing and the fire knife show were very entertaining, and the jokes too.
All in all, a pleasant evening spent on the island of Oahu.

Such a fun and amazing time!! It was my first luau and I have to say it was THE BEST! I was really disappointed at first because I wanted to do the Polynesian cultural center luau, but I’m so happy that we got to do this one! The food was delicious, it came out super fast, and I loved that it was all you can eat ! The music and entertainment was incredible too! Such beautiful dancing and really cool performances!

Awesome show
Reviewed by: Jan
This Luau was an awesome experience. The best part of the show was learning some insight on the culture and watching all of the amazing dances and fire show. The chief was super funny and entertaining! The food was good but the portions are huge so make sure you come with a big appetite! every Luau experience we tried getting into was fully booked out for a couple of months and I had purchased this showing same day which was a plus for us!

We had Chief’s recommended to us by friends. Oh my squash! It was the best. Presented as very authentic. Food was actually very good. Great tour host, Cousin Tao and great driver. The show was everything but hookie! Authentic and impressive is how each dancer and performers presented. Well worth the royal package to sit so close to front and have a driver.

This was so worth the money! The show itself was worth the ticket. Food was great too. Having a taste of everything was good so you know what you like and don't. I sprung for the pick up and drop off which was great so I didn't have to worry about being just a teenie tiny bit tipsy. :) The dancers were fantastic and it was obvious everyone was enjoying themselves. Would definitely go back.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Show outstanding!
Reviewed by: Marla
I loved everything about the traditional dance and music. Amazing — especially the fire show. The rest was a huge cattle roundup with loading us onto buses, standing in lines, sitting in long tables, getting food like school lunches — all in a not-ambiance-producing water park. So I honor the Chief and his love, as well as Cousin Lisa our bus driver’s spirit of love and family but there was nothing relaxing about this production. Luau’s should be on grass among trees near water with time to socialize and enjoy the time with new friends and old. Thank you for sharing Polynesian culture though!

We purchased the Royal package and it was worth the extra $. We were the first to go up to dinner and front row seating.
The show was funny and entertaining! The Chief put in a lot of funny jokes and taught the audience some Hawaiian words and phrases. Food was great, with roasted pork as the centerpiece with lots of authentic-tasting foods.
Would definitely do it again!
