Traveler Tips

Not a lot of parking.. you have to wait till the peeps visiting the valley and the falls leave before you find parking.

Although we had to drive was across the island from Waikiki, it was well worth the drive and we are still talking about how amazing the luau was.

I highly recommend it if you are in ohau, TOA LuAu is a most attend activity.

Perfect family Hawaiian evening

Michael_P, May 2023

If you’re looking for a fancy, Las Vegas-type luau this is not for you. But if you want fun entertainment, home style food and great people, Toa Luau is not to be missed. We had the best evening in this gorgeous setting. Arrive early and hike to the Waimea Falls thru the botanical garden. Note it is a decent uphill walk so you can pay extra to take a shuttle.

Amazing Luau

Erika_B, May 2023

It was our first Luau ever and we are so glad we chose this one! It is family owned and ran, you can see the hard work, enjoyment and pride they have in their culture and sharing their history with tourists and visitors. It was a great time, great show, yummy food and an overall wonderful experience!

Awesome Luau! Highly recommend!

Alliisn_P, May 2023

Great experience! Awesome family run Luau. They made us feel like a part of their family. Love the culture. We had a blast! The food was delicious too!

A memorable experience

Kelly_J, May 2023

It was a very memorable experience. We were greeted by a very friendly staff and a flower lei. The drinks they offered were really good. The food was amazing. They came around asking if you needed anything and offered additional plates of food. The host was funny and kept everyone engaged and entertained. It stated to rain outside, but that didnt stop the fire show from lighting up the sky. We had a full house but we weren't stepping on each other. We purchased the silver tickets and were able to see everything. We stayed in the Waikiki area and it took a little time to get there with the typical traffic (1 1/2 scenic hours) but it was worth it for everyone in our party of 14. I/we highly recommend this luau if you want to have fun and learn more about the culture.

Wonderful Ohana

Tiffany_S, May 2023

Everyone was very kind and friendly with a charming host, Cousin Sisi! Had a great time, enjoyed the interactive activities. Food was tasty and well portioned. Loved all the dances, especially the fire dance. And best of all, happy to support a native Polynesian-owned luau.

Great family run luau!...

Kayla_V, May 2023

Great family run luau! Good food and the staff was wonderful! The botanical gardens were absolutely amazing to walk through as well.

Good food great laughs!

Dora_L, May 2023

This was so much fun! If you are looking to laugh and have a blast I would absolutely recommend this luau! The food was so good, it is a family run business, it’s located in such a beautiful location. On top of the laughs you are able to see traditions and cultures. Truly remarkable!

Best Luao Ever!

Guillermo_H, May 2023

This experience was the hilight of our vacation. It was like a welcome home party with a fantastic show and great food ! They truly make you feel like part of the family! This is one Luao you do not want to miss out on!

Excellent quality, better service

Adam_H, May 2023

Customer service just means more when your name is on the business!!! The show was amazing but the service was even better!!! It is a family run Luau with exceptional service and quality of the show they put on. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and enjoyed every minute. We have memories that will last a lifetime and left there feeling like part of their family. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent Luau.

Intimate, Interactive, Immersive

Kimberli_R, May 2023

Amazing! Intimate Luau setting. Family operated and you can feel the love the family has for each other. Talented performers with excellent story telling skills. Very funny hostess and very beautiful recreations of cultural history. A MUST when you visit the island. It will not disappoint!

Run, don't walk, to this luau

Madyson_W, May 2023

This is a local family owned Luau that tops any luau you can see in Honolulu or Waikiki. It was definitely worth the drive. The food was amazing and you definitely don't leave hungry. The entertainment was great and highlights the dancers and drummers. My husband and I even got kukui nut leis to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Tao Luau

Thomas_C, May 2023

Luau was not in a setting as expected. It was not by the ocean. It was under a building. Their dress was not as elaborate as expected. Food was good.

Utterly speechless

Michelle_D, May 2023

Utterly speechless!! From the real flower leis to the activities to the food to the show, this whole experience leaves you speechless. You learn history and island facts in a fun energetic and lively way!! The “family” works hard to make sure that you are welcomed, fed and entertained the whole 3 hours!! Highly recommended!!!!! My daughter and I enjoyed immensely. We left in awe and totally speechless.

Response from Host, May 2023

Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to write us this review and for the recommendation, we truly appreciate it!

Amazing experience!...

Emerald_M, May 2023

Amazing experience! Definitely the best luau on the island! We’ve been to two different ones and this by far was the most fun! Amazing performances that get you excited. Interactive MC, the activities were fun as the staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s a bar you can go to but you get your first drink free. The food was so delicious! We loved every minute! Our favorite dancer was Sela as she was so kind and fun!

Response from Host, May 2023

Aloha and mahalo for this review! We're delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience at the luau and had a great time and enjoyed the show and the food. I'll forward this to Sela, she'll definitely appreciate it. Mahalo and God bless! Hope to see you again soon!

Amazing Luau

CARLOS_B, May 2023

This was worth every penny. Absolutely amazing. You get to see the real Hawaiian culture. We drove and there were plenty parking spots. Just one note....your at the base of a huge mountain so you lose phone signal while there.

Great day at Waimea Valley

Carmen_B, Apr 2023

I am so happy my husband and I chosed Toa Luau as opposed to other in Oahu. The food was excellent and the entertainment was spectacular. The whole event was well organized and so much fun. We visited the Botanical Garden and the Waimea Waterfall which is adjacent to the luau. It was a fun filled day. I highly recommend it. We purchased the Gold sitting and was happy we did as we had a great view of the stage and performance. Mahalo!

Response from Host, May 2023

Aloha! Mahalo for leaving us this review and for the recommendation, we truly appreciate it! We're glad that you chose to celebrate with us also, and so happy to hear that you had a fun time at the luau. Hope to see you again! Mahalo!

My birthday luau.

James_B, Apr 2023

The dancers were great. The tree climbing was impressive. The drummers were especially good. We came to Hawaii as part of the celebration of my 80th birthday and the luau will be one the highlights of the celebration which will end in November 3.

Awesome experience at Toa Luau……

Mala_G, Apr 2023

Such an absolutely incredible experience. An intimate atmosphere . We were welcomed with warm smiles with all the ushers going out of their way to make us comfortable. It as intriguing to see that some of the Polynesian customs are so like our ways at home in India! We learned to make a crown, desiccate coconut, cut raw bananas!! The show began and we all were welcomed with some of us onlookers participating in the ceremony! Food was plenty. We had requested one Veg and 2 Non veg and then requested one more veg instead of non veg as we didn’t eat Pork. The lady said it maybe difficult but she came out promptly with a platter of veg food!!! We loooved it! The music, the drums, the dance and the haka was so full of energy!!! The Master of Ceremonies “Sister Ceci” was fun, engaging and inclusive. A must do experience if in Oahu.

Response from Host, May 2023

Great Experience

Kismet_M, Apr 2023

My hubby and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with Tia Luau. It was a great experience! Also in attendance was my bio sister that I just reconnected with after 42 years of separation. The evening was amazing and the staff made the experience so personal and special for us. I’ve been to many luaus on Oahu. This one was top notch! Loved it! The food was also amazing😋

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your anniversary and got to see your sister after so long. Hopefully we'd see you again on your 26th anniversary! Mahalo and God bless!

Excellence. Don't hesitate. Just go.

Melinda_D, Apr 2023

The performances, narration, food.....excellence! A perfect blend of history, humor and audience participation. We loved that individuals weren't called up on stage but rather we all participated in groups. Really enjoyed the hands on activities and the willingness to answer questions. Our party of 4 agree it was the highlight of our trip so far!

Response from Host, May 2023

Aloha and mahalo for this review. Happy to hear that you had a great time at the luau and enjoyed the cultural activities. We hope to see all four of you again the next time you visit the island! Mahalo!
