It is all you can eat and thank goodness because I ate a lot! It definitely paid to be the first in line because seeing the cooked pig made me event more hungry.<\/p>\n<p>The line moved very quickly and I was really pleased with the food choices. Everything tasted really fresh and so tasty. I do wish that they had more of a variety with the dessert though. It was only pineapple slices or pineapple cake. If you are not a huge fan of pineapple, you don\u2019t have much to choose from unfortunately. Good thing I like pineapple!<\/p>\n<p>There were staff members that were walking around taking drink orders through the night or you could also go up to the bar and order as well. They had Mai Tais, beer and wine to choose from along with soda, tea and tropical orange-guava punch which is a classic in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Luau_Dinner_Show\"><\/span>The Luau Dinner Show<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The chief also hosts the Polynesian luau show where you will see South Pacific dancing and luau music from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa and New Zealand.

The chief makes sure to keep you laughing throughout the whole show.

I would recommend this luau for anyone that is okay with driving a little further out of Waikiki to get the best experience, it\u2019s definitely worth the drive!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great not only for couples but also for the whole family as well! I would say that this is probably the most romantic luau though if you are celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The chief invites couples on stage that are celebrating one of these and they share a dance together under the tiki torch light and at the end every woman gets a flower. This was something that was so sweet to me!<\/p>\n<p>The luau operates five nights a week, and you can book it on HawaiiActivities.
