  Very funny group of people, very educational and a lot of fun! Good food and great staff. They should include in their tickets that the aquarium’s hours are 10-4 so if you plan to go right before the luau like I did you can’t and have to wait around for an hour and a half before the show starts.

  This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Susan, has lived on Kauai for decades and was very generous in sharing information. Not only on the places we visited, but Kauai in general, especially restaurants. We have a new appreciation for Kombucha - delicious, not the vinegary stuff I've had in the past. I never would have tried Saiman unless I went on the tour, it was a delicious experience. The mahi mahi burger and beef burger were sooooo delicious, and the Shave ice was one of the best. Tour was very well organized and smoothly run. DO take this tour, and arrive hungry! Definitely something we'll do again!

  We've been to a number of Luau's in Hawaii. This one is excellent. Loved that we were served instead of lining up for a buffet. In a buffet, you take what you "think" you want and skip many item. Usually put too much on the plate. They provided just the right amount of everything. So we tried everything. In a buffet you feel hurried to finish before the show. Here the show was integrated so that both can be enjoyed to the fullest. We were fully satisfied with the super delicious courses and the show was absolutely spectacular. Highly recommended.
