The Cheif's Luau is sure to meet or exceed your expectations. I'll start with the good: The Cheif is hilarious! His cadence and delivery while teaching you about the culture and history of the polynesian islands will have you in tears. He involves many members of the audience, you feel like you're part of the show. The activities before the show are so much fun. You don't have much time so have something in mind before you get there. There are a few booths for vendors that are very reasonably priced. Save your money and wait until you get to the luau to buy authentic souvenirs for yourself and family members. The food was amazing. You'd think buffet style for 400+ people would take you back to high school or church camp but they really knock it out the park. Be sure to get the mahi mahi and try the papaya dressing for your side salad.
My biggest complaint for the luau is the location. You are literally in a water park. For me it pulls away from the authenticity of the event. Until the sun goes down you can see water slide directly behind the stage.
