We loved the fun and the hula dancers at this show. The backdrop was incredible and the MC was fabulous. Our only regret was that they squished us in so tightly and that the chairs were pretty uncomfortable. Some of the highlights: food, samoan fire dancer, MC, photographer, dancing/music and the view! Well worth the money and the drive to... More

This luau was super! The band and MC were excellent, and there was a great variety of tasty food.The ocean is the backdrop for the stage. The dancers were outstanding, especially the young man who did the fire dance. Bring a sweater to save your pick of seats, and get 2 drinks at a time as the line up can... More

Didn't attend but heard and saw from our room 6th floor. Lengthly show and highly entertaining. Can't speak for the food cause didn't attend. Smelt good tho. Just too tired after scuba.

Booked our luau on line, easy and simple. The evening was beautiful, the crowd small. The uncovering of the pig smelled delicious. The buffet was done in an orderly fashion. The food was delicious. Lots of drinks on hand. The dancing was good, I did expect a bit more, but overall a great evening and would recommend this event.

I've found that for the money this is a great luau. The food is good and the entertainment is impressive. If you want to do a luau while you're in Kona this is a good one.

Absolutely nothing bad to say about this event. The food (Yes, even the poi), the talent, and the show are all amazing. If you only go to one luau, it better be this one!
