Fun family luau with great food - We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and performance. The emcee/host has a great voice and exuded warmth. The musicians played professionally for the entire dinner and show. Dancers had several costume changes, and there was great variety from number to number. Great family time. Everything ran smoothly, and there was no point that dragged. Recommended!

A great experience to learn about Hawaiian culture, food and history - We arrived at the Mauna Lani and there were signs leading to the pavilion where the event is held. The staff was helpful, nice and very organized. The food and presentation was excellent! The entertainment was superb. We loved the experience!

Fun Family Luau! - Great Luau been to quite a few and this one hands down had the best food. I wish they had more drink options, but we made due with the Mai Thais. Would recommend for the actual story telling and authentic pig cook in the pit!

Upscale Small Luau - Very enjoyable luau with excellent food and drink. This is a relatively small luau in a very lovely outdoor setting on the grounds of the Auberge Mauna Lani Resort within an easy walk from the hotel lobby. The entertainment is excellent with a fairly small cast of dancers and musicians. It is not an extravaganza. It has rather feel of a really high quality local and family oriented event. The main food feature is a whole pg pit barbecue. Fun and relaxed.

A wonderful Hawaiian experience - The Luau was great value for the price. The entertainment included dancing singing and education about the Hawaiian culture. The emu pig burial was a highlight. The food and services were outstanding.

Best luau I’ve ever been to! - This was the best luau I’ve ever been to! The food was delicious and the dancing/singing was amazing. It takes place in a gorgeous setting. We chose the Ali’i package and received a beautiful family photo, leis, and a table right up front with an excellent view of the stage. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience all around. Highly recommend!

Robbed! - The event was nice however it was a buffet- we did not get Premium seats for this price. We left a Louloulemon jacket behind and “Grace” the employee we spoke with was very rude! I am almost certain an employee is wearing my jacket by now. Rude and unfriendly employees- did not offer a flower lei to us- feel ripped off
