A great Luau

Reviewed by: Jody

The Luau was perfect from beginning to end. It was organized and the staff was very friendly. Was great to see the dancers were also the greeters, wait staff and doing the demonstrations as well. The Host was very entertaining. Loved how friendly everyone was. The food was wonderful. Would definitely recommend as the Luau to attend.

Amazing First Luau!

Reviewed by: Olivia :)

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! Overall I had such a blast and it was a wonderful stress free experience :).

Great show and good food. Just be aware this is long, we were there almost 4 hours from start to finish. Could be a little shorter in my opinion, but the fire thrower was the best we have ever seen at a luau.

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

A Nice Experience

Reviewed by: John A

The Luau was a nice night out. If you are going a couple of tips: 1) opt in for the bus transportation. The site is about an hour from Waikiki in an industrial park. 2) Get the VIP seats. We were seated right next to the stage and received a photo and 3 free drinks. The stage show was excellent and authentic. The food was hit or miss. It was served cafeteria style where you had to go in a serving line like a cafeteria. The pork was 5 stars, while the rest of the meal was 3 stars. Overall, a nice evening next to the ocean (Excellent Views).

Reply from activity provider

Aloha John, Thank you so much for choosing our luau, and so happy to hear that you had a nice experience. We feel the bus transportation is the best option, it may be a long ride getting there, but safer on your return if you're going to enjoy a few cocktails. Our VIP, or Plumeria Luau package was a great choice, with the extra amenities, 3 drink tickets, and the souvenir photo, as well as the Premiere seating! We appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us, and hope you will share your beautiful photos with your friends & family! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

Paradise Cove experience

Reviewed by: Rbj

We had a very enjoyable time at Paradise Cove. From the start when our bus driver and tour guide picked us up until they dropped us off, it was exceptional. The activities before the main performance were very good. The live performance was exceptional. The dancers and other performers were great. The food and beverages were good as well. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our vacation on Oahu.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Such a eventful luau

Reviewed by: Gziggy01

The luau was on a beach so the views were incredible. The luau itself always had something to do during the 4 hours you were there. There were 600 people there and they had activities you can do until the show started such as taking pics with colorful parrots (costs extra), kayaking, and throwing arrows. The buffet was pre-portioned and consisted of fried fish, Pork, buns, poi, salad, rice, a cupcake, and ribs. It was very filling. The show was very comical and i highly recommend. I just wish the seating was a little closer since I was at the winged tables.

Awesome luau, beautiful falls hike

Reviewed by: Michelle B

This luau was our first one but far superior to another one we did later in our trip. The food was great, the scenery gorgeous, and the performers were talented and entertaining. The MC Cousin Billy was truly funny and informative. We had a blast! The next day we did the hike to Waimea Falls and that was excellent as well. I could have floated in the waterfall all day. We spent part of each North Shore day at the Waimea Falls complex and I highly recommend it.

Aloha Michelle, and mahalo for your review! We are delighted to know you had a great time at the luau and we are so glad too that you were able to come back to Waimea Valley to tour the waterfalls and the botanical garden. Unfortunately, it's not something that everybody gets to do. I'm just so glad you made it. :-) Mahalo for your kind review really; it's something that we take joy from, knowing that what we have set out to do is meeting expectations, and we intend to keep it that way. We hope to see you again - come see us when you're back in the island. Until then, may God bless you and yours :-)

This luau is the best! We were staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and saw the luau they had from our room. Toa Luau is 100times better that that one! I especially appreciated the intimate and gorgeous setting! The activities they had engaged my 5 and 2 year olds… and had them attentive the whole night! The intimate setting and the care and pride they take in their heritage shows up in the way they do it all! It was personable, intimate, and the wittiest host, Cousin CeCe! I am beyond words for this beautiful experience! Mahalo!

Beautiful Waikiki Luau

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

Loved experiencing this right in Waikiki! The location at the Royal Hawaiian hotel was really convenient (no long bus rides) and the food was 10 out of 10. It started to rain a bit during the show and within minutes, the servers brought out towels to everyone so we could stay dry and catch the last bit of the show. Service was fantastic. Would recommend the extra to get the Premium seating closer to the stage.

Thank you your feedback, I'm don't understand why you say didn't have time to socialize because there's usually time before the luau actually starts, when music is playing, the sun is setting, as well as during dinner time.

Aloha Becky, Thank you for your feedback, and sorry you felt there wasn't enough interaction with the crowd. With all the Covid guidelines in place, there are several interactive segments in the Luau format that we can't do right now due to social distancing. Those are the segments when we invite guests on stage to learn the Hula, and also the Tahitian segment but we couldn't do that when you attended. We are looking forward to getting back to our normal format, so I hope you can return one day to experience our luau once things get back to "normal"...We appreciate you choosing Germaine's Luau as a fun activity to do while you were on vacation here.

Good Experience

Reviewed by: Familyoffive

Germaine's Luau was very entertaining for my family and I. However, there was a lot of sitting around and waiting for things to happen. We were met with a mediocre box of lettuce and fruit to start with, there was some entertainment and then 1.5 hours later we were able to get other food; buffet style. The food was delicious but by the time my kiddos were fed, they were cranky and had enough. I am happy to say that I have been to a Luau and experienced the food and entertainment.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Family of Five, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that your family had to wait so long for your dinner. It has a lot to do with the strict guidelines in place from our State Government that we have to follow, from the Check process, to how we serve the food, and it all takes time. I hope you were able to enjoy the scenery by the ocean, perhaps the beautiful sunset! I'm happy that you enjoyed the food as a luau should also be relaxing and entertaining...away from the hustle and bustle of the resort area. Thank you for choosing Germaine's Luau, and hope you will return to our island again, when we get back to normal. Mahalo, Germaine's Luau Ohana
