This was a very nice luau. Lots of activities to keep you busy before the eating and show begins like making leaf crowns, trying to start a fire by rubbing 2 pieces of wood together, spear throwing, air brush tattoos, etc. The MC was funny and very likeable. The live music was fantastic and the backdrop behind the stage of the ocean and island was breathtaking. The show was exceptional with many different types of Pacific island dancing showcased. They also had kids/adults come onstage to learn a dance and separately, had honeymooners and anyone celebrating an anniversary come onstage to dance. Personally, we found these two parts a little drawn out and boring, but tolerable. The fire dancing at the end was fantastic and definitely the highlight of the show! The buffet of food was fine, quite a long line to get to the food (we had the Aloha experience, so last to the buffet) but they had 6 lines going along 3 tables and so did their best to keep things moving. Fresh hot food was continually brought out. The pineapple cake and bbq chicken were delicious! The rest of the food was fine but could use some more flavor. Overall, I would recommend this luau for sure.
