It was a wonderful performance. The MC and the total staff/group of performers were incredible. It was fun, entertaining, and engaging.
Toa Luau is the best of the several luaus I’ve been to in Hawaii, and the setting in Waimea valley is majestic. Definitely arrive a few hours early to make time for a walk through the botanical gardens and to the waterfall. The food at the luau was tasty and ample, with seconds readily available, and the luau show was a lot of fun, concluding with the dramatic fire dancing. You need to provide your own transportation to Waimea Valley for this event, but it is no difficult to rent a car for the day and drive there, allowing about 1.5 hours each way.
We enjoyed every moment of this. From the beauty of the botanical gardens and waterfall to the Luau experience. Highly recommend
It was beautiful!! Our first time going to a luau and I would definitely come back to this one again. The host, dancers, and the entire team are all so welcoming and put on the best show while also diving into their culture with activities they provide. Definitely a beautiful luau to visit.
Beautiful setting for the luau . Performers were great . You can tell they love what they are doing . Our MC for the night was very funny and informative of the culture as well. Loved having the food come to us plated ! No Long lines ! Plenty of food and servers ( also the performers ) ask few times if you would like anything more or extra . The show was entertaining loved the participation from guests as well . The fire dancer was the one of the best we have seen and the fire dancing with all of them at end was good way to end our enjoyable evening ! Also loved the real flower lei ! The activities beforehand and being able to go thru the gardens if you chose too was added bonus .
It was an amazing experience and we definitely have great memories from attending this event!! The food was delicious and the whole production was very entertaining!!
Our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The food was delicious, and the luau itself exceeded all of our expectations. The cast and staff were outstanding, creating a welcoming and memorable atmosphere throughout the evening. The story they shared was both beautiful and educational, offering a meaningful look into Hawaiian culture and traditions. We would highly recommend this luau to anyone looking for an authentic, entertaining, and unforgettable experience while visiting Hawaii.
The location is on the North Shore. With rock slide mitigation construction, it may take an hour to travel there from Waikiki. With that said, the location, the food and the show are well worth the effort.
It was my son's and my first time to Hawaii This was such an incredible night. Everyone was so kind and well knowledgeable about the culture. We will definitely be telling others abd recommending yo attend.
Had an amazing experience at Toa Luau and one of the highlights of my trip. The emcee was funny and made it feel like hanging out with extended family. The performers were talented and showcased a breadth of dress and dances across different Polynesian cultures. Food was generous and delicious. All in the setting of Waimea Valley. Great way to spend half the day!
