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.
Consider driving and not taking the bus.

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.

Like everyone else's posts, it was mostly in English. The people around us were having a great time, but we were just looking outside. However, the guide couldn't speak Japanese, but they were very considerate and helpful. The show was amazing. We got caught in traffic on the way there, which delayed our arrival and limited our participation in activities, but what we did participate in was very enjoyable. There was so much food that we couldn't finish it all.
皆さんの投稿と一緒でほとんど英語、周りの人は盛り上がっていたけど私たちはさっぱりで外を眺めていました、でもガイドさんは日本語はできませんでしたがとても気遣ってくれて助かりました。ショーは最高でした。行くときに渋滞にかかり到着が遅れてアクティビティの参加は限られましたが参加したものはとても楽しくさせていただきました。料理は多すぎて食べきれないほどでした。
You should definitely participate.
是非参加すべきです

The show was powerful, and the audience's reaction was great, creating a wonderful sense of unity like a live performance. The buffet at Gateway had high quality and a variety of options, which left me very satisfied. The transportation was, in a good way, bland, so it worked well for me.
ショーは迫力があり、観客の反応も良いので、ライブのような一体感があり素晴らしいです。
Gatewayのビュッフェは質が高く、いろんなものがあり、大変満足でした。
送迎は、いい意味で無味乾燥だったので、僕にはよかったです。
A commemorative photo after the show is recommended!

We enjoyed learning about the different cultures. The best one was Samoa. The chief had us laughing the entire time. We even bought his paintings afterwards and he signed them. The buffet dinner was amazing. I recommend getting a tour guide as they can give you more information and take you through all the villages quicker.

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

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!!
I recommend the upgraded seating -- very VIP treatment!

About 20 minutes before the show started, a line of about four groups began to form at the premium seats, so we waited a little in front of the door. I got my tattoo done quickly, so I didn't have to wait long to get it done. We also had priority access to the buffet. Basically, the buffet is only available for one round, so we took a little bit of everything. For drinks, you have to go to the drink counter yourself. You receive two exchange tickets per person, so I went to get drinks before the show started. The show was an exciting experience where the audience could really get into it!
ショー開演の20分ほど前からプレミアム席にも4グループほどの列ができ始めていたので、並んで少しだけ扉の前で待ちました。タトゥーも直ぐに行ったので、あまり並ばずに書いてもらえました。ビュッフェも優先的にに取りに行けます。基本的にビュッフェは1巡だけなので、少しずつ全種類とりました。ドリンクはドリンクカウンターに自分で取りに行きます。1人2枚の交換チケットがもらえるので、ショーが始まる前にドリンクを取りに行きました。ショーは観客も一緒に盛り上がれる迫力あるショーでした!
