Chief's Luau (Hawaii Sunset Events, LLC) Review

Really good food and show. The arts and crafts are great. Even with the rain, they put on a great show.

This was our favorite night of the trip. The chief was super entertaining, the food was great, activities were fun and the cultural performances were amazing. Highly recommended.

Great food & show. Chief luau & all staff where friendly & inclusive to everyone.. Well worth a visit

Wow! An awesome show with comedy, dancing, food, and music. Locals and tourists alike will enjoy this beautiful homage to the native cultures of Hawaii.

My husband and I had a great time at Chief's Luau! The buffet was a fantastic diverse selection of fresh and tasty food. The show was captivating, and Chief was very entertaining and informative. My only complaint about the entire night, is the audience's overuse of cell phones to take pictures and video. This, of course, is not the fault of Chief's Luau. Nevertheless, I spent the majority of the night re-positioning myself in an effort to see around the right elbow of the gentleman in front of me. Another gentlemen in the front row recorded almost the ENTIRE SHOW on his cell phone. It is one thing to snap a quick photo and resume watching the show, but it is quite another to inconsiderately hold your cell phone in front of the stage the whole night. My parents went to a luau in 1990, and I'm envious of the more authentic and uninterrupted experience they must have had! Apart from the cell phone issue, it was an amazing experience.

Very entertaining and well organized. We enjoyed it so much! My daughter hula danced for days afterwards, emulating the entertainers and pretending she was a fire dancer!

The food was awesome and so was the show. Had a blast the fire dancers were super good. Staff was quite friendly and also made us feel quite welcome.

Amazing, even with COVID restrictions they made every effort to make the Luau an amazing experience for our family. Fantastic show, will recommend to anybody wanting to attend the only operating Luau. It's a safe and entertaining show with talented and exceptional players.

First luau I ve ever been to and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was perfectly prepared and staff was so friendly. The chief himself was hilarious and I m sure we laughed for 75% of the show. Would definitely recommend this if you re visiting. They even made us cute little hats made out of banana leafs I believe?

The show was awesome.... but I would have never dreamed of going to a Luau at a darn water park... The bus ride was very slow, and we got there just as it was starting. So we did not get to do any of the activities. It was such a dissapointment.. DONT BUY THE EXPENSIVE TICKET... you get the same service with the cheap one... the only thing different is for $150 more, a couple, we got two beach towels...it didnt feel like a real Luau because of being in a water park and not on a beach.

The best experience my husband and I had. The show was amazing along with the food, hospitality and warm welcome. Aloha Family!

They took a perfectly beautiful spot with hot tub and a nice water fall and pond,and turned it into a stupid fake luau for the tourist, now no more enough room, the other places was crowded as it is. Now can't lay down, only on the grass. Lose money. Not thinking

The best luau around. Arts and crafts were in the list of things offered as well as learning to start a fire. True cultural entertainment from all the South Pacific islands. Food was beyond awesome. The time and sincerity they put into there show is true heritage from the heart. The family and I had a great time and after leaving looked at the Hawaiian islands with a real sense meaning to our trip.

Fantastic show! All people there vent over backwards to help us out. My mom was using a rolling walker and they were all there helping. Made her night too. Best Master of Ceramonies ever and the fire show!!!!! No words can describe how great it was.

The Chief is hilarious. The show was very family-centric, so that was nice. The food was excellent. The dancing was all top notch. I can can well believe this is the best Luau on the island.

Great show, great talent, we were thrown off by it being at the water park but it was worth it!

We absolutely loved this luau!! The entertainment was outstanding!! The food was ok but I m not a fan of pork, steamed fish, or chicken thighs. But the rest was great and it was eat all you want!

Chief was pretty entertaining, the show was great to watch. Our escort for the bus was engaging (Brandon) giving us information about the area on our way to the Luau. Food was good, maybe just upgrade the presentation. At the beginning when we arrived I felt like cattle being herded in the area for seating. I would definitely recommend, everyone was very friendly! Great views of the ocean and educational!

The kids and adults enjoyed the pre-show crafts, but there was only time to do one or two activities if you hurried. The performers were very friendly and open to taking pictures. The food was wonderful and the show was great! This is the only luau we will take our guests to!

Great experience, the Chief is a great comedian and performer.

The show was great, love the story, the dancing and singing! Fascinating culture... I would definitely recommend this show.

Way too expensive for the experience you get. First it was suppose to start out with a 45 minute drive to the luau, we didn t get off the bus for and hour and a half. The line for the food took a good 30 minutes and it wasn t even very good. They say that the food is unlimited and you can go back as many times as you want, but there isn t any time to go back and wait in the 30 minute line again. Also, they started the show right as we sat down to eat and they turned all the lights off. Made it very hard to eat and also annoying. Overall, it wasn t a bad time, just not worth the price you pay at all

We had a wonderful time and our children absolutely loved it! The food and service was excellent. We missed our date and called, the Chief allowed us to reschedule so we wouldn t miss out. It was just an awesome experience!! Great way to end our vacation.

We all had a good time..food was good fun and lots of laughs the fire dancer's were the best..nice loud beats. Recommended.

The entertainment was beyond my expectations, usual dances and world class fire dancing. This would be five stars if the activities leading up to dinner and dinner were not so rushed.

The bar menu seems excessively evil too. For pennies more per guest the quality could be greatly improved. Kona and Maui brewing instead of Corona would show thought toward setting and quality.

A wonderful cultural event. Nice venue, friendly staff. Laughed from beginning to end.

Food was good. Entertainment was good. Tour guides were so friendly and enthusiastic. Bathrooms were horrific. Was held at a section in water park.

I had an AMAZING time!!! The food was great and so was the entertainment. If you're visiting Hawaii I highly recommend going to this luau.

Awesome experience, the entertainment was amazing! The food was good and was definitely worth the price you pay for!

Chief is awesome Luau experience! More than Hawaiian. Including other Polynesian.

This is a great luau. Good food and great entertainment

Entertainment top notch, but the young kids watching the food line were not prepared when food and or plates ran out! The photographer cut off a person's face by having someone stand in front of her. Innocent mistake? Sure except she checked the picture and said it was good to go. Won't be back, looks like it's taken on a commercial theme by being held in a water park.

Food was good. Dancing was great. Location could have been better (basically inside of a waterpark.)

What we liked: The show was awesome. The guy running it was hilarious and charming. The vibe was really good. Also the food at this luau was pretty good too. Better than King Kamehameha's on the big island.
What I did not like: On top of the 120+ ticket price per person, expect to pay service fee when you book through a third party (still cheaper than direct booking ) plus a parking fee. Ours was only 6 dollars but why not be honest and roll that into the ticket price? Also, I get the tip jar for special drinks but literally any thing you did at this luau had a tip jar next to it. The tattoo guy, the bar. etc... Plus, I get why people say they can smell sewerage. You can see the sewer grate down by the vendors and bar. They try to cover it with a construction cone. Besides moving the venue, I don't think there is much they can do. Would have got 5 stars, but I am a fee hater. Show the real price up front.

Amazing luau! Highly recommended, Chief makes the show funny and personable. Doesn't feel like a large over produced luau, but more of an authentic luau. Amazing food, fun activities, drinks, and a great show. The performers are all extremely talented, and made for an amazing experience.

Took my mom to celebrate her 70th Birthday
we had a blast

Expected a little more for the price. It was at a water park. Sitting on plastic chairs and a plastic table was not what I expected. Food was cold. Good show though. Could gave been done so much better.

Wonderful food. Fun fun fun and laughter. I dont want to say to much because I dont want to give away what to expect. But, you will have a marvelous fun time and experience a little bit of a few polynesian countries. You will not forget this experience. I Definitely recommend for you to see.

We had an absolutely incredible evening at Chief's Luau and will definitely come back next time we are in Hawaii.

Awesome experience! It was our 2nd time attending. The pork was amazing!

Highlight of our trip so far...a must for all. Thanks for an exceptional time...from the moment we were picked up to drop off!!

Great food, terrific staff, very entertaining shows

Had a great time here. One of the best luau in Hawaii.

What an awesome experience!!!! My husband & I had a blast from the bus ride over to the ride home. It was ALL awesome. Our guide was "Sho".....what a personable & funny guy with a contagious laugh!! He had us cracking up. He took the time to come by & meet all of us individually. He spoke ALOT about FAMILY... "OHANA".....wise words from such a young man. The food, drinks, activities, & show ...ALL exceeded our expectations! We will definitely go back if we return to Oahu~

Food was great and the show was spectacular highly reccomend this place. We had a blast. Drinks are high. Its probably worth getting the nicer seating. We didnt went the cheapest and was fine!

Very entertaining! Food was good, Mai Tais are legit! Wonderful time here!

Great experience, good for families. A little bit pricey but seems to be about average when compared to other Luau prices.

Wonderful! Family fun!
Food and service were great

I was a little reluctant, the wife insisted we go. Definitely worth the experience. If you go to Oahu this is a must. Food was OK, show was awesome! Will definitely be back.

After having experienced the other large luau's on the island it was very refreshing to see the really dedicated group of artists at the scenic SeaWorld location. Although this is a newer company that is growing quickly I hope they don't lose the atmosphere that the others have lost. You are treated individually to greeting, excellent food where seconds are encouraged and entertainment that while authentic is also humorous with many innuendoes that would go right over the kid's heads. This is well worth the cost.

Love Chiefs luau great entertainment good food embodies the Aloha spirit

Wow! We were told that this was the best show on Oahu and Chief did not disappoint The show was amazing and worth it. The food was delicious and there was more than you could eat. We bought the middle package that came with 2 drink tickets. The drinks were ok and the seats were good. We would definitely recommend. The ride from the hotel with Cousin Tao kept us entertained. The fire knife show was incredible.

I've been to a few Luauss, and they are all similiar. Large groups, watch their show and eat food buffet style. Drinks here are extremely sweet. But, this one was funny, and fun. They had a lot of audience participation, so go up in stage and play if you want. I would recommend this one over the other ones I've been too.

The entertainment was a 5. The food ...a buffet with pork and chicken, salad, noodles, rolls, desert etc. a 3.5-4. All seats have a good view of the show. The staff was always friendly. It rained for a bit so they passed out plastic ponchos for everyone. I highly recommend it for families.

This show was fantastic!!!! The host was great and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone! A lot of adult humor!!!! Sea life sucked but this show was great!!!

1/12/18. Although we have seen more glitzy extravaganzas, this Luau show was the very BEST. The chief hugely charismatic, spiritual, and gifted. He was also a great comedian and teacher (culture). The entire show was most enjoyable authentic, well-timed. Although we were one of the last tables served, the food was very tastey (esp. the pork and fish) and plentiful.

Very entertaining! Great food! The fire dance could be longer.

Amazing show they put on, Chief has you laughing all night and really does a great job to include the audience into their performance and gets on a personal level with you. All the performers really did a great job!! The only thing I would say that was not quite 5 star was the food....it was not bad at all but nothing as special as the show. Overall highly recommend to anyone and would absolutely see it again. Thanks Chief for a great time and show!

The show was fantastic best of all was just to see them prayed to God before they started

What a great experience, a must if you're staying on Oahu. This cultural experience offers incredible cuisine of all varieties, a fire show that you will not encounter anywhere else in Hawaii, activities that bring you back to ancient Polynesian times, but most importantly it introduces you to some of the kindest people we met on our trip to Hawaii. While the actors were talented, and the chief knowledgable, I would like to personally shout out to Chad, our bus leader. Not only was he on his game at all moments, but Chad was the friendliest person we met on our whole weeklong stay. He was able to memorize the full bus load of passengers names, despite only meeting us all on a short 30-45 minute ride, and he was able to break the ice between strangers within minutes. You do not find this quality of personality everywhere. There were 3 busses which traveled to the luau from Honolulu, however we were the only bus with lights on, singing songs, dancing and playing games. I feel so lucky to have had Chad be a part of our Hawaiian experience; the whole night was incredible but it wouldn't have been so without him. Here's to a bright future for this man, if you try this luau ask for him!!!!!!!!

Chiefs Luau is well organized. Chief was very funny and connected with people very well. All forms of polynesian dances were depicted and fire show at end was a treat for the eyes.

It was good and funny best luau on the island food and entertainment was great. I recommend it to anyone who comes to the island and wants to be entertained.

I suggest you get the Royal package worth the money. A very good time. Food is great and so is the show.

This was a great luau to experience. I ve been to another one before, so it was nice to experience a different one. The chief was hilarious. He was the pure entertainment of the night and really funny to listen to. At the end, they have a fire handling show and it was amazing. The best part of the show. The food was good, I liked that the seating wasn t huge so you can even see if you re on the side in the back. The only thing I didn t like is that trying to get there, off of the street there are no signs for it so we passed it and didn t really know where to go. Luckily we went down the wrong street and we just saw where you checked in with a small sign. I would recommend them to have better signage so people know where to pull in. You have to pay six dollars to park in the parking lot, which is the same parking lot for wet and wild. I don t really agree with that because it s the only thing around and they make you pay. Overall we had a great time and a good experience.

This was definitely an Hawaiian experience! Recommend the Royal or Paradise packages - for the perks.

We booked through our concierge at the hotel and though there is a perk of having a ride included, we definitely missed out on some activities because we were running on "Hawaiian" time. It would have been worth the uber (or drive if we had a car) just to have that extra time.

Staff was great, they really take the time to get to know their guest. The Chief was full of information and his delivery was hilarious. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend Chief's Luau, it was an awesome experience!!

The Chief is welcoming and sincerely wants to share his culture with the family. He is really funny too! The food is top notch and the show was incredible on many levels. For sure you will see the world's best fire show! We highly recommend this Luau.
