Hawaii Loa Luau on the Big Island Ticket

This was our second luau in as many years on the Big Island. We enjoyed the pre-performance games that this cast wove into the experience (Hawaiian lawn bowling, 'musical chairs', and free island temporary tattoos). The food was exceptional, and we especially appreciated that they had a kid's table with mac-n-cheese and kid-friendly food choices. The dancing was magnificent. Only thing we would have changed--and this is just our view--was that the hostess was a little too laid-back, resulting in the crowd being nearly asleep during the performances, rather than cheering and appreciating the skilled dancers.

We really enjoyed this luau! We had grandparents, teens, kids, even a five year old, they all loved the show. The dancing and music from all the islands and cultures was amazing. Food was good, lots of variety, plenty of it, even had mac n' cheese for the kids which made my boys happy.

First of all, Viator confirmed this event at 5pm and to arrive 30 minutes prior to. We were there at 430 only to learn that the doors opened at 530 and event started at 6p. We sat for a long time. It was also advertised that it was a family style dinner. It was not, it was a buffet. The staff were friendly. The show was sub par. We attended three Luau's on Maui. This didn't come close to the other shows we saw. Basically 10 people on stage danced and did a sing along to the cd. The host of the show was delightful.

Excellent event. Great to sample variety of foods from the islands. Interesting and informative show.
