WOW! This wasn't a show, it was an experience! We loved everything about the grounds, the demonstrations, the interactive activities, and the food. The best part though, was the live walk through Polynesia. We loved the clothing, body art, dance, music, and the fire team! This is a must see!!!

My husband and I had the most exciting time at the luau. We were able to participate in the pre show activities and talk to the Mauka family. The show was top tier, and I would recommend you get a ticket. Transportation was also available. Couples celebrating wedding anniversaries were recognized on stage; while a young man proposed to his girlfriend. It was a beautiful evening.

    Fantastic evening with the Warriors!
    Shannon_C, Nov 2025
    Fantastic evening with the warriors! Super friendly guys, had a chat with them, they made us headbands and had a few pics taken with them. The girls made us fresh flower lei and bracelet. I took the top package with front row seats and transport from the cruise ship. A truly amazing night! Thank you so much!
    Awesome experience!!
    Venessa_V, Nov 2025
    This was my first luau last year and the cultural activities and show are amazing! This was so entertaining that the next time I find myself in Oahu, I will make it a point to go again. The food and drinks were good, not great, but good. Having attended a different luau recently really put into perspective what an awesome job they do here. I wanted to go one of these for the experience and they more than delivered. I highly recommend.
    1st luau experience
    Michelle_P, Nov 2025
    Beautiful people, sharing beautiful traditions. The food was fantastic. This is an absolute must when visiting Hawaii.
    A must do!
    Daniel_G, Nov 2025

    Donna_G, Nov 2025
    The show and actives were great. The food was not so great. The choices should have been more. The salad dressings were only two choices. All there was were pork, chicken thighs or fish. The mac and cheese had ham in it and way over cooked. The bar selections were perfect but ran out of one certain type of beer.
    This was an experience...
    Sharon_E, Nov 2025
    This was an experience that our family will never forget. We have an eight year-old and a 16-year-old and all of us enjoyed it immensely. 10/10 We still haven’t stopped talking about it. Highly recommend.
    Fantastic show!
    Elaine_P, Nov 2025
    Entertaining, exciting and beautifully done! Dancers are incredible, band was excellent and food was great! Worth every penny!
    Incredible Energy, Delicious Food, and Beautiful Performances!
    Sheyla_G, Nov 2025
    The Mauka Warriors Luau was super dope! The show and dances were absolutely amazing, and you can really tell they put so much time, passion, and heart into what they do. The history and stories behind each performance were so insightful and inspiring. it gave the night so much meaning beyond just the entertainment. The buffet was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful! You can tell they put a lot of effort into everything. from the food to the table setups and overall design. Everyone there was so friendly and really involved in making sure you were having a good time. There were fun activities before the show too! We got leis, drinks, drawn tattoos, handmade banana leaf crowns, and even a special shoutout as military members with our own dedicated leis, which made us feel so appreciated and honored. There were also a few photo opportunities, and we got our pictures the same day, which was awesome! It did rain a bit, but they handled it so well and made sure everyone was comfortable with rain ponchos ready to go. Such an unforgettable experience. we felt so welcomed and had the best time celebrating with the Mauka Warriors!

    There was a mix up with our seating, we weren't with the rest of our party & they fixed it quickly. Show was great, funny & the fire guys were amazing.

    Worth the time and money to experience this!
    ROBYN_R, Nov 2025
    Easy to book, pickup was on time and they were very courteous and shared some local Hawaiian knowledge during the ride over to the luau. Once there, we had the opportunity to get coconut headbands, leis, and photos made for us. Also could pick up some warrior weapons, watch a pig roast and do a little shopping before the dinner and show. Great show!
    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Catch the Aloha Spirit, dance like a hula expert, eat like a king, be entertained.
    MONICA_M, Oct 2025
    This luau was so FUN! My husband and I were joined by several friends. Except for me, it was everyone's first time at a luau. Everyone had a fantastic time! We enjoyed every moment! The leis were so pretty, purple flowers or shells. The extra vendors were a nice touch. We enjoyed the shaved ice and bought some bracelets. The lovely "tattoo" artists were fun to talk to and they painted such beautiful designs. My tattoo lasted 5 days and that was after going in the ocean and taking showers. I absolutely loved that they prayed before the meal and said no matter where you come from or background it is always good to give Thanks. Most of the food was quite delicious, but some was just meh. The buffet had a very large selection. The pineapple and grilled pineapple were amazing! The MC and several others were quite funny. Great story telling. The musicians during dinner were really quite good as well as during the show! We all definitely caught the Aloha spirit. All the activities were fun, "tattoo painting", headband weaving, KAVA tasting, hula lessons and so much more! The fire dancers were hot stuff! My friends thanked me for finding such a fun event. Mahalo! Thank you for a wonderful event!
    Response from Host, Nov 2025
