A lot of fun, interactive, good food, good show. The back ground scenes were a nice surprise. The staff was super friendly.
If I could give this negative stars I would. Don’t be fooled this experience is NOT worth what they are charging. For the price save the money and go to the beach or out to eat. The venue is not ocean front, Everyone’s packed in like sardines, I’ve seen better shows at a high school musical. Put it like this, we left 40 mins into the show and it’s supposed to be a 2 hr event! Definitely not worth the money. And after booking they offered an “upgrade” on seating. The seating is a bunch of picnic tables bunched together and there is 0 difference. Total waste of money and time. Sadly it’s the only negative experience throughout my wife and I whole vacation. There’s no organization, the staff even show that they don’t want to be at the venue or involved. If I could take it back I’d do it in a heartbeat. Save your self the money and the disappointment.
I came with high expectations and left very disappointed. You crowd as many people as you can in on a level field and expect everyone to be able to see. We got seated in the very back. People were told to remain in their seats so people behind them could see. Well that didn’t happen not to mention how many people were up walking back and forth to get drinks. If you are going to have this many people in needs to be in a tier step so everyone gets to see. Plus the sun was going down at the same time and anyone in the back could again not see. Also need to have more than One light on the performance It was very dark on the stage. The best thing about this event was the pork and tequila sunrise that was made with rum. Highly disappointed.
Absolutely incredible! The Ka Moana Lūʻau at Aloha Tower was the perfect blend of Hawaiian culture, breathtaking oceanfront views, and top-notch entertainment. The performers were phenomenal, the food was delicious, and the entire experience felt warm, authentic, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Oahu, this is a must-do experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime!
The stage is not ocean front like the old pictures. Backdrop is a construction in a boat dock. No view. Just a stage sandwiched between a bar and a small building structure. Overcrowded and extremely close seating that I can’t turn well enough to see the presentation. Food is dry. Have to eat just to have something to fill you in but don’t expect to enjoy it. An example of an overrated event based from the past but has significantly degraded in venue, food with over populated crowd to get the most money for the night. Presentation is just ok. There are many better options out there.
We had a great time! Location was close to Waikiki. Show was interactive. There are pre-show activities that you don’t want to miss, so best to check-in early.
It was a very nice, well done experience. I liked learning about the different cultures on the different islands.
Food was not very good. Show was very good
The performance was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. The performers were talented, engaging, and created a memorable experience that we truly appreciated. Unfortunately, our evening ended on a disappointing note due to an interaction with a staff member as we were leaving the venue. We stopped to look more closely at a photo that was available for purchase because we were considering buying it. Before we had the opportunity to make a decision, a staff member approached us and chastised us, apparently assuming we were attempting to take a picture of the photo without paying for it. At no point were we trying to photograph or take the photo. We were simply examining it more closely to determine whether we wanted to purchase it. The staff member’s approach felt accusatory and was handled in a manner that left us feeling embarrassed and unfairly judged. It’s unfortunate because the performance itself was wonderful, but this interaction detracted from an otherwise positive experience. I hope staff members are encouraged to approach guests with courtesy and professionalism rather than making assumptions. A respectful conversation would have gone a long way.
I bought the celebrity package and didnt get the complimentary mai tai nor the gift surprise. There was no difference between the regular seating and celebrity. the food was horrible. The location is literally next to the pier so instead of having a nice back ocean view you see the ship views. I'm so dissapointed. I paid 877 for family of 5. so not worth it. I was really looking forward for the Luao Experience. Very dissapointed to say the least.
