Reviews
"This is the luau that is hosted on site at Aulani. The show itself was engaging and entertaining. They tell lots of interesting stories about their local culture and history. The biggest disappointment for me was the food. I was hoping for more authentic traditional dishes, but there were hardly any on the buffet. The way it operates can also be misleading. Seating is basically first come first serve within the section you paid for (premium or standard). Some people knew to line up early to get good seats within their respective section. That said, I don't think there is a bad seat anywhere for enjoying the show. For food however, the tables in back go to the buffet last and that can take quite some time. There was very little Disney influence added to the show (which I preferred), but if that's what you're looking for, you will be disappointed. Overall, we enjoyed it, but if you're looking for a more authentic experience there are other options on the island."
"On my recent trip to Hawaii we went to this Luau and I have no words to describe how amazing it was. It's a show that is incredibly well done and that makes you enjoy from the beginning to the end. The 2 people/protagonists who were telling you the different Hawaiian legends couldn't have done better. I could tell you that they enjoyed doing it and their voices were otherworldly. We were really fascinated with this Luau and everything was wonderful. All the people who perform in this Luau are what make it so special. It's totally worth it and was a super special moment to live together with my friends. There was plenty of food to choose at the buffet and everything was delicious. We ate everything we wanted(a lot) and the desserts were delicious. The cocktails with alcohol or without alcohol that they offer you at the beginning were spectacular. The service of all those who work serving you drinks and food and all those who are around worrying that everything goes well are what keep the magic of Disney in this wonderful show. Thank you for such a magical dinner and evening and I recommend it without a doubt. One of the best Luau's I've ever seen (and I've seen a few)."
"Pleasantly surprised by the luau hosted at Aulani. The entertainment was great and they were no slow parts so our two kids stayed engaged. Food was good and plentiful. We did not pay for the preferred seating so we were seated after all of those guests but did arrive a half hour early to ensure we would have enough time for lei making, the henna tattoos, ukulele lesson, poi making lesson and pictures. The music was good and found the story telling woven into the overall performance was decent. Honestly didn’t feel like there was a bad table to be seated at. We ended up in the middle right by one of the smaller stages in the aisle. For the kids they provided bento boxes that were pre-portioned. The bar staff quick and consistently asking if we would like more drinks. We would do it again and we would stick with the general seating again."
"Our family of five from Texas and Oklahoma visited Oahu and the Big Island for Spring Break! We attended the Luau while staying at Aulani. The day of our luau, it rained right before time for check-in, so we had to stand in line for about 30 minutes while they wiped down tables and chairs and got set up. But they had cast members come through the line to explain the situation and they did push everything back so the kids still had time to do the activities before the luau started. The food was delicious and plenty was offered. The desserts were so good!! The drinks were good and alcoholic drinks were included with the cost for adults! The luau itself was very entertaining and I am so glad it was a traditional luau with an appearance by Mickey and Minnie! We had general admission (preferred was sold out) and I would recommend paying the higher price for the preferred seats. We had decent views but the kids would have been able to see better with the better seats."
"OMG! This luau was so awesome. Definitely Disney quality. You can read other peoples description of the evening. It is spot on. It was so fun experiencing the pre-luau activities. Temporary tattoo, flower lei bracelet, ukulele lesson. Crushing taro We paid the higher price for preferred seating and it was so worth it. The Buffet was awesome. Our favorite was the pork! They left the buffet open for a long time. The service was fantastic. we knew in advance that the luau was mostly focused on Hawaiian history not Mickey and Minnie and that’s exactly what we wanted. The music, storytellers and performers were top notch."
