Waikiki luau buffet with Rock-a-Hula show, VIP options, pineapple and Mai Tai. Plan an easy, centrally located evening in Oahu.
“Customer Service was good. However, there was a lot of waiting to transition to the next thing. The dancers were very mediocre and low energy. The MJ impersonator was the best performer however his set was very small.”
Ka Moana Lūʻau at Aloha Tower mixes an oceanfront Polynesian show, hula and lei making, and an island buffet with a big fire dance.
“Overall great experience that I’m glad I found. However, one major critique I have is that there was not enough food. It was advertised as a buffet but the food did not stay out for a long time. At least an announcement could have been made from the front about last call before the show starts. When my partner and I went back to grab more, we were told “there’s no more food”. That’s unacceptable given what we paid for the experience. A buffet implies endless access to the food.”
Ka Moana Luau at Aloha Tower on Oahu blends a farm-to-table buffet, hands-on Polynesian activities, and an award-winning show.
“no need to approve anything Because everything was amazing and funny.. the culture of Hawaii is so amazing and interesting i love it..”

“We spent a great day with Summer. She provided lively informative highlights of the island as we drove to our stops. Pearl Harbor was a sobering memorial. A must see for all Americans. Highlight was the Polynesian village. The day was long but Summers quick wit it flew by.”
Oahu's Germaine's Luau in Kapolei is an ocean-view Polynesian show with lei greeting, Hawaiian dinner, and optional Waikiki pickup.
“I enjoyed the Luau, the only thing that interfered were the 3 cats that were walking around under the tables. I am terrified of cats. If the cats can be removed it would make a better atmosphere. I had a negative experience with Robert’s Hawaii transportation. The bus left me. The bus operator did not care. “All she continued to say was the next bus will arrive at ROSS” “The bus will be taking off at 4” when i asked about a refund she ignored me and said the bus leaves at 4. if I’m walking how will I make it to Ross in time?! Had to pay an uber…”
Chief’s Luau at Wet 'n' Wild Honolulu pairs a chief-led cultural show with an all-you-can-eat Hawaiian buffet, plus round-trip transfers.
“The boarding was very organized. I really enjoyed the variety and explanation about the entertainment. The food appeared to have been microwaved but it was good especially that I was very hungry after a busy day of sightseeing.”
Waikiki Starlight Luau at Hilton Hawaiian Village is a one-stop Polynesian show with dinner on the Great Lawn, starting around sunset.
“Not worth it. Check in staff were rude. Wait staff was great though. We couldn't see very well. Would be better if they could turn out all the bright yard lights and stop people from standing up to make videos. It was ridiculous”
Queens Waikiki Luau in Honolulu offers a 150-minute feast, hula and lei making, plus a Polynesian show with fire-knife dancing.
