Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]
Waimea Valley Falls & Toa Luau

Disappointed that the falls was not flowing, but the Luau was great. Learning about the hawaiian culture was interesting. The food was delicious and plentiful. The show was fabulous. You will not be disappointed.

Great time! Best luau experience! The family was incredible! Husband said it was the best pulled pork he has ever eaten!
Activity Date: 2022/09/05 | Posted on: 2022/09/07

We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Incredible experience
Activity Date: 2022/09/04 | Posted on: 2022/09/06

We enjoyed this so much. It took a couple hours to calm down from the excitement of being so close to majestic sharks. Our guides were so friendly and provided a lot of information and guidance. We felt very safe during the entire experience. We also had enough time to enjoy the sharks and it never felt rushed. We saw about 10 sharks that swam calmly around the cage. We were lucky to see some dolphins on the trip back too!

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]
Love the show!
Activity Date: 2022/08/31 | Posted on: 2022/09/01

The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.

Amazing time with the family!
Activity Date: 2022/08/05 | Posted on: 2022/08/27

My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!

Incredible adventure!
Activity Date: 2022/08/06 | Posted on: 2022/08/27

One of the best things I’ve ever done. The captain and her mate were exceptional! They talked us through our fears, educated us about the sharks, and we got to see sharks- loaaads of sharks! Right there. I’m all their beauty. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it - just do it. Nothing to fear. All safe and just an experience of a lifetime!

A Hawaii "must do"!
Activity Date: 2022/07/08 | Posted on: 2022/07/30

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk
Disappointed for sure!
Activity Date: 2022/07/11 | Posted on: 2022/07/15
Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

Hi Dan,

We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:

1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.

Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.

In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.

With Aloha

Awesome trip!

This was an amazing trip and we had a wonderful guide Jo-jo who was super knowledgeable about all aspects of hawaii cultural, history, plants, food, birds etc...The bus was nice and air conditioned and the time stopping off at each location was just right. An 11 hour day is a long day but it didn't feel like it because we were so loving every step of the trip and jojo's stories and support was great!

Loved the shark adventure and specially the service provided by Justin and the captain. They were so supportive and helpful.
Activity Date: 2022/04/21 | Posted on: 2022/04/23

Loved the shark adventure and specially the service provided by Justin and the captain. They were so supportive and helpful.
A day before we got the message with parking instructions, which really helped us specially when you are new to area. We took a wrong turn and was running late however Justin was too supportive, she was continuously with us over the phone to guide us the route and made sure we reached on time. Thanks to Captain as well who waited for us.
Now coming to actual shark adventure: It was really fun, amount of time in a cage was ample. My 10 years old also enjoyed it. There were lot sharks around the cage. Also while coming back we saw lot of Dolphins and Captain gave us sufficient time to clicks photos as well.

Fantastic experience.
Activity Date: 2022/04/18 | Posted on: 2022/04/20

We had an amazing time. We got 20 minutes in the cage with a total of 6 people, and 12 people on the boat. We saw dozens of Galapagos sharks that came right up to the cage. I felt completely safe inside the cage while still feeling connected to the sharks. Both Erin and Alexis were helpful and knowledgeable. They did their best to make sure we had a fantastic time. They even stopped on the way back so we could enjoy watching the dolphins. I 100% recommend this shark tour. Just be weary that it was very rough in the cage so maybe not ideal for those not comfortable in the water.

High winds
Activity Date: 2022/04/14 | Posted on: 2022/04/17

Our tour guides where very informative. I would suggest next time high winds like on this day maybe they reschedule. We felt beaten up by huge waves heavy winds that day. I rented the go pro camera so hopefully I got some good shots. But the experience was still top pick for me on my vacation.

Our guides were friendly and provided great information about the sharks local to the area. Totally recommend taking Dramamine the night before and the day of the dive as the water was a little choppy. We got to see about a dozen Galapagos sharks during our dive and even got to see a whale.

This luau is an absolute MUST! Everyone was so welcoming and put on the best show! You have a chance to learn about Hawaiian culture and the comedy intertwined into the performances kept us rolling with laughter. The whole family helps with the performance and you can absolutely tell that they love what they do. It was the most fun that we had here in Hawaii! The food was delicious, as well!

Awesome luau, beautiful falls hike
Activity Date: 2022/02/11 | Posted on: 2022/02/27

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!
