Luau Kaula in Ko Olina, Oahu
Description
Kaula is a story-based luau, put on by Hawaiian Council to tell authentic Hawaiian stories. With a focus on fun and entertainment, you're part of the show from the moment you arrive until the last high energy note fades and the sound of the ocean takes back the night. It may be Hawaii's story, but we built the experience around you. The unique eat-when-you-want format allows you to skip long buffet lines, and eat when you're ready. The interactive activities are also unlike any others: wandering performers, friendly competitions, cultural lessons, and (voluntary) singalongs combine to make sure you leave with a smile and a generous serving of aloha.

This is really a great experience if you’re in the Oahu/Honolulu area. The dancing, the show and the care giving to Hawaiian tradition and culture was spectacular. We decided to do the boat cruise beforehand as a package deal and it was beautiful. I can highly recommend it.
We wanted to leave our resort to go to a nice luau nearby. We were extremely disappointed. Neither my boyfriend or I are picky, but the food was inedible. Watching the others at our table, it was clear that others felt the same. Although it depicted some Hawaiian culture, it was more of a theater performance than a cultural experience. It was truly an awful experience. Walking past the luau at my resort nearly made me cry as I felt my money was completely wasted on this one. Please do research and AVOID this one at all cost.
Had a wonderful and special evening!! Great food with great storytelling and amazing performers!! Must see show!!
The experience was magical and I loved the stories that were told. I felt like I learned so much about the history that night. The pre-show was incredible too and the food was delicious.
Food was fantastic, great entertainers and the kids love the painting on the arms ! Not a bad seat in the house
Here’s a polished review you could post: If you’re looking for an authentic Hawaiian experience, this is the luau to attend. Being locally owned and operated made such a difference—you could truly feel the heart and culture behind every part of the evening. The storytelling was captivating, the dancers were absolutely incredible, and every performance felt genuine rather than overly commercialized. The passion and pride they have for sharing their heritage really shined through. I’ve been to several luaus over the years, and this was hands down one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii who wants an unforgettable, authentic cultural experience.
THe Luau was very beautiful and amazing the food could have had more options but over all amazing performances and story line
While the doors opening was delayed the luau itself was absolutely fantastic!! The performance and story were amazing. Our group was so pleased with the experience.
The experience was absolutely amazing, the history woven into the story was absolutely breathtaking. It made me want to learn more about their history and not the whitewashed version. The dances were so poetic and mesmerizing. The food was honestly so so so good and you could go back for more as many times as you wanted. For the price it was so so worth it! Everyone was so friendly and genuine. The whole production is native Hawaiian led, produced and performed. Authentic and real. I absolutely want to go again and I'll tell everyone I know about it!
The luau was such an amazing experience. The story telling, the lighting, the performance, the dancing, the music, and audio were perfection. We were really pulled into the story telling. My kids loved it as well. It was great for the whole family. The location was also very beautiful . We took lots of scenic pictures. We also loved the layout of the food stands and being able to try many different dishes. Honestly it was more than we expected. Definitely recommend!
