Hilton Waikiki Starlight Luau with Fire Dancers, Hula Show & Dinner Buffet

Good, Bad and Ugly

Reviewed by: T.O.

Good: the performers and MC where good. Bad: Food and Drink where minimum. Selection was limited. All seemed a little cheap. No quality drink choices. Best tequila was Cuervo Gold, really! What decade are we in. Ugly: the setting terrible. On a roof at the conference center. No ambiance. A conference room on the roof. Hilton could and should do better. I will not recommend. I picked this Luau mostly because of proximity to our hotel. That was a mistake. It was the worst experience of our week stay in Oahu.

The he show was nice. My favorite performance was the fire show . Food was decent the bad food was the pork overly salty which was the experience from the group in the vip section with me and my wife. But overall it was a good experience. Kind regards Tony

Mauka Warriors Luau & Dinner - Authentic Polynesian Show with Thrilling Fire Knife Spectacular

Fun, Fire, and Flare

Reviewed by: Daniel Hunt

This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.

I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Polynesian Cultural Center!

Reviewed by: Gregory

The experience was awesome! We got to learn and experience a lot of what the native Polynesian cultures were like. Many of the staff are actually university students who help fund most of their education through working here so that is nice to know.

The Buffet was the biggest Buffet hall and selection that I have ever seen- there was live music too and it was all just beautiful. The food was really good too!

The Fire Dance show was just an amazing performance. All the people responsible for making this were so skilled. It looked like everyone was having a great time.

The powerful dance by the men and the graceful hula by the women were wonderful. I was delighted that the performers applied traditional paint on their arms. It's a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it for a memorable experience in Hawaii.

男性力強いダンス、女性のしなやかなフラが素晴らしかった。腕に演技者自身が伝統ペイントを施してくださり嬉しかったです。少し高価ですが、ハワイの思い出に是非おすすめします。

Great show but the provided transport got us there late

Reviewed by: Shawn M.

We appreciated the Chief's showmanship and humor as well as the dancers. Food was very good and we were thoroughly entertained.
Only negative is that we bought the package with transportation and it got us there after all the cultural activities were finished. That was disappointing since we could have just Ubered over and skipped the bus ride. Keep in mind that this Luau is quite a ways from the Waikiki area.

Reviewed by: ももちゃん

I visited over ten years ago, but this time my friend wanted to go, so I accompanied them. Previously, it was a one-day tour, so we could experience various activities, but this time we chose a course that only included a meal and a show, which meant there were some things we couldn't do and places we couldn't enter, making it a bit disappointing. However, the meal was a buffet with a variety of options, so I was even unsure about what to eat.

The show was incredible, far surpassing what I had experienced before, with amazing sound and visuals. The performers' passionate dancing made me truly glad I came. I thought that even though the price was a bit high, I would definitely want my friends who didn't participate this time to go next time.

１０年以上前に行った事が有るのですが、今回友人が行ってみたいと言うので、一緒に付き合いました。
以前は1日ツアーだったので，色々と体験ま，出来たのですが、今回は食事とショーのみのコースを選んだので、出来ない事、入れ無い所も有り少し残念でしたが、食事は数々の種類からビュッフェ形式で選べるので，どれを食べるか？迷う程でした。
ショーは、以前とは比べ物に成らない程、音響，映像等も素晴らしく、出演者の方々の一生懸命なダンスに本当に来て良かった。と心から思いました。
料金的に少し高いと参加しなかった友人達にも是非次回は行って欲しいと思いました。

The best thing we did in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Maung

Anyone who plans to visit Hawaii must see the show- Breath of life. It’s one hr thirty minutes long but it’s worth every minute of it.

The Gateaway buffet has plenty of dishes to offer and we had like 2:30hr to savor the food. My favorite was Tuna Sashimi, cut fresh from a fish on display. Every station has four different varieties of dish.

The villages are fantastic. Each one is unique in terms of activities and entertainment. Staff were mainly Uni students.

I have 5 star rating to PCC.

Reviewed by: トヨトヨ社長

I participated alone. This show is spectacular and definitely worth attending. We gathered near hotels in Waikiki and took a large bus to the Polynesian Cultural Center, which took about an hour. The meal before the show had a wide variety and was good, but I thought the portion of steak was a bit small. I reserved seats quite close to the stage, and many performers showcased traditional dances one after another, energizing the venue. The fire dance, in particular, where they weaved through flames multiple times, was moving. The show had plenty of time, and you could feel the performers' dedication. The arrangements for the return bus and the timing until departure were also precise. The price and content are very well balanced.

ひとりで参加しました　このショーは圧巻です　参加する価値大です　ワイキキ内のホテル近辺に集合し送迎の大型バスでポリネシアカルチャーセンターまで移動 約1時間くらいでしょうか　ショーの前の食事は種類も多く良かったのですが　ステーキの量は少なかった思います　ショーはかなり前の方の席を予約しました　ステージ上で多くの出演者が次々に伝統の踊りを披露し会場を盛り上げてました　特に火の中を何度もかいくぐるファイアーダンスは感動ものでした　ショーの時間も十分あり出演者の本気度が伝わってきます　帰りのバスの手配や出発までの時間も正確です　　料金と内容はとてもバランスが良いです

This was an outstanding luau. I had read some reviews complaining that drive there goes through a industrial area. Who cares!? Once you arrive you are in a secluded, gorgeous property on the ocean.
The food and entertainment was outstanding. I went back for seconds on the pig, which they actually roast in the ground the traditional way.
This luau is the best bang for your buck on the island.

Hilton Waikiki Beach Front Luau & Fireworks Show - Friday Night Exclusive!

Free for kids under 4! Great for families!

Reviewed by: Huaka'i Mama

Whenever I'm planning to join a tour, I always wonder if it'll be fun for the kids too. Even though it's a bit pricier, choosing the Friday luau in the courtyard by the lagoon was a great choice! Even if the kids got a bit bored halfway through, they could play on the grass for a bit. And the best part was it was free for kids under 4, which was super awesome! What made me even happier was the kids buffet corner, with kid-friendly foods like Tater tots, Teriyaki chicken, and meatballs etc. We made some fantastic family memories in Hawaii.

The show was a blast, featuring dances from the various Polynesian islands.
There were even a few fire dancers, which the kids absolutely loved.

We were bummed we couldn't see the final fireworks from our seats, but watching them up close from right in front of the hotel was an incredible experience. Totally satisfied!

We loved and enjoyed learning a lot of things about the Polynesian culture! All the performances were just by fat the best. I love the activities in each country that you can participate in, hands on and fun too!

My son is a typical “everything boring” esp by the wnd of the day, but as soon as the lights went off for the “HA” show he was mesmerized and totally enjoyed it.

We wanted to experience the LUAU dinner but I think we did not look through good enough with the package we bought. Buffet Dinner was not bad at all…just missed seeing a traditional lu’au

Pretty good Luau

Reviewed by: DRS

This was my 2nd Luau ever and this one was way bigger than I expected. I would say at least 500 people or more! liked the entrance it was beautiful. I did feel like a bit of herd of cattle coming in. We got seated pretty close to the stage which was nice for us non VIP’s.
The pre show activities were ok. We got temporary tattoos and watched a guy climb up a coconut tree.
The pig coming out of the ground was kinda gross but interesting. As far as the actual food goes, it was just OK.
The pork and rice was good. the chicken and fish were bland. The chocolate cake for dessert was dry. The pineapple was good, very juicy.
The show itself was very good & entertaining. It moved fast which we liked. Overall it was a fun experience. My young daughter liked the dancing & we were able to get a picture with some of the dancers

Reviewed by: M.K.O

The variety of dishes is abundant.
I think it's recommended for those who want to enjoy different cultures, as there are many flavors that are not found in Japan.

Regarding the show, one point of evolution since before COVID is the fire dance. It has significantly evolved from about four performers to a maximum of around ten.

料理の種類は豊富です。
日本には無い、味付けの物が多いので、異文化を楽しみたい方にはお勧めだと思います。

ショーについて、コロナ前から進化している点としてファイヤーダンスがあります。以前の4人程度から最大10人程に大幅に進化していました。

Mauka Warriors Luau & Dinner - Authentic Polynesian Show with Thrilling Fire Knife Spectacular

Great fun with friends!

Reviewed by: Lala Kitty

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~

Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.

Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.

The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.

But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.

10/10 would definitely recommend!
