Excellent luau. Probably best in Oahu! The show was fantastic and educational. The extra activities were a bonus. Food was also good. Would go back again!
It was an overall great experience. Food was decent, performances were amazing. They put on a heck of a show for their culture, while adding humor to balance out the energy. Drinks were awesome, it was worth the money for the experience.
It was a wonderful time. My kids love the show and food. Everyone is very friendly and nice. We will definitely come back again.
The food is amazing and had plenty of entertainment prior to eating, and amazing show. This is the second time I’ve come to this show, and was amazing once again.
Very cool experience that is a must to check out! Food was absolutely amazing, they did a really cool anniversary dance during the show as well!
Mahalo Nolan for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food and had a memorable experience with us. We’re especially happy you enjoyed our anniversary celebration; it’s always an honor to celebrate special milestones with our guests!
It was an incredible experience. From pick up to drop off. We had a great guide and driver in the shuttle. The show was magical and fun. Lots of stuff to do before the show. The food was mid but it’s a buffet I wasn’t expecting much. They did not offer virgin drinks for adults that were the same as the drinks that had alcohol. Pretty easy add. My biggest gripe is the fact that they never asked people to not record during the show. So all you could see is a sea of cell phone screens. Some that had high brightness levels blocking views. They should offer a service to send a video of the show to people so this doesn’t happen. They had a speaker set up blocking the view of the side stage.
OMG!! Such an amazing, extravagant well planned event. Classy, tasteful. So interesting as well as informative! This luao is one of the greatest things we've done on Honolulu A+++.
Mahalo nui loa Jorge for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had such a memorable and meaningful experience with us. It means the world to know Mauka Warriors Luau was one of the highlights of your time in Hawaiʻi!
Our group of 12 went to this luau last week, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The performances were energetic, beautifully done, and kept everyone entertained from start to finish. The food selection was decent with a good variety, and the service throughout the night was great — friendly, organized, and attentive. Highly recommend this luau for families or larger groups looking for a fun and memorable experience.
Mahalo for joining us! We’re so happy to hear your group had such a memorable evening and enjoyed the performances, food, and service. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate the recommendation!
The staff were helpful and organized. Food was good. Activities and entertainment were the best. Great way to experience luau!
Excellent food and cultural experience show. Cell phone use by audience was occasionally annoying.
Mahalo for sharing your feedback friend! We’re glad you enjoyed the food and cultural experience. We also appreciate your note regarding cell phone use and will keep it in mind as we continue working to create the best experience possible for all our guests.
