Amazing luau!! - The entire experience at Toa Luau was incredible. The waterfall and botanical garden were beautiful and easy to do with our 4 and 7 year old. The show was incredible and the kids were entranced. The whole cast was friendly, funny and the service was great. I would come back here many times over! My 4 year old even asked the next day if she could go see the dancers again. 12/10, highly recommend!!

Amazing Luau night! - Awesome evening at Toa Luau!! So much fun for our Ohana, as the staff got everyone in our party involved throughout the night. Food was excellent and we were asked multiple times if we wanted more. Adult drinks were not watered down one bit! Had a seat at the stage which enhanced the experience exponentially. This was my third different luau throughout the islands of Hawaii and by far the best!! Adding to it, everyone was exceptionally attentive to all the guests. This is the luau to attend on Oahu. Will definitely go back when we visit again!

Made us feel like Family! Liked that the DELICIOUS Food was brought to our table rather than standing in a buffet line! - Entertainment was top notch. Our 13 yo Twin Grandsons were part of the demonstrations! Food was Amazing and we appreciated being served at our table rather than standing at a buffet line! Fun for All three Generations! Don't miss it!

Great Experience for whole family - It was an amazing experience. The performers not only check everyone in, serve the meals as well as perform. I cannot begin to explain how wonderful this experience was. Recommend it as a must see for any visitors to O'ahu.

Wonderful show and outstanding value - If you are staying anywhere near the North Shore this is a must do. It was only a 15-20 minute drive for us from Turtle Bay, but as we left we overheard folks who had driven an hour plus from Waikiki say how it was worth the trip. I remember when I booked that it seemed a bit expensive, even for the Silver package. With the benefit of hindsight, I realize it was probably the best value experience of our week on Oahu. It includes admission to Waimea Valley ($25 value) and the meal and drink would easily set you back $70 elsewhere on the island. That basically means that you are spending about $40 to have very close seats for a Broadway show and interactive demonstrations of Polynesian culture. Other reviews commented that there was no difference in the views for the Silver versus more expensive packages. We wound up at Table 24, at the front and to the left of the stage (see photos). I think the views from the Silver tables (tall ones in the photos) range from good to very good. I believe the Gold and VIP tables are a bit better (particularly for the part of the Fire Knife performance that happens on the lawn) but only you can decide if it's worth the incremental cost increase. We did the 5pm show, which made for a more spectacular Fire Knife performance. We arrived around 2:30 to explore the valley. We could have easily spent another hour there but for our group's stamina that proved to be about the right amount of time. Waimea Valley has several staffed areas (Hawaiian games, traditional Hawaiian homestead) which were interesting but bear in mind that the volunteers pack up around 4pm.

Best Luau Experience Ever - This was a very immersive experience. The history and culture behind the Hawaiian Islands from a family owed and operated venue to us is better than a resort show hands down any day. Its worth the time and money. Also, if you are going to walk the gardens and swim in the waterfall get to the site at least 2 1/2 hours before your scheduled show time, to give yourself time to hike up to the fall (20 mins each way) and have time to enjoy it,and walk the garden. There are changing rooms but no lockers to keep your personal belongings by the falls. There is a venue by the falls and they will lock your personal things in a tub for a fee (cash only) but they may close early. Also, bring a little extra cash to tip the servers! They run the entire show and do an amazing job!

Best all-around luau - Great family atmosphere. Best variety of activities vs the 3 other luaus we’ve been to over the years. Loved that the food is brought to the tables instead of having to stand in a buffet line. Excellent performances. We got to see the world champion of the fire knife doing his thing! Amazing.

A luau with aloha - We went with the whole family and had an awesome time. The performers seemed to all know and like each other - it was clearly a family affair with even the kids involved. It had such a wonderful genuine vibe compared to the hotel luaus we've caught glimpses of. The show was great, with glimpses of many polenysian cultures, and of course the fire knife dancing was 🔥🔥🔥 with a champion fire knife dancer. Food and drink were great, and we loved the activities and the fireside food and culture lessons. We tried (and failed) to get there in time to walk to the waterfall first, so we went back a different day to do it and still got in free with our luau tickets. Swimming in the waterfall was definitely a highlight of the trip, as was the luau!
