What people are saying about Hawaii

Everything was easy as far as booking and arriving. easy to find, not too much traffic, not too much walking. my mother loved the activities before the show. making our own lei bracelets, making music, and learning some of the instruments. lots of good photo ops. the tattoo thing smeared a bit so maybe they can use something. less smeary. show was great. food was def not the star of the show. salad was soggy. appetizers were ok but food costs must be tight cuz 2 tiny pieces of poke is weird to look at in a tiny sauce container. def understand if budget is tight and going to the entertainment cuz the food left us hungry and we went out to eat after.

The show was very entertaining and the people were great ,sweet, and helpful. The food was good , well worth the money. The only thing they should improve is the dessert at the end, the little piece of cake at the end was disappointing. Yellow cake and icing was dry in my opinion but other than that really enjoyed everything.

It was a lot of fun. We had an amazing table so our view of the stage was about as good as it could get. My daughter loved the show and the fire dancing too, just everything was ran really really well. Thank you for doing such a great job!!

As a disclaimer, we had never been to a Luau before. That being said, my wife and I had the best time EVER. The staff was soooo friendly, the food was amazing, and the performances top notch. I would HIGHLY recommend Luau Kalamaku!

Out tour guide Nani Popolo was excellent, informative and has a great sense of humor! I am ex military and the tour was concise and so spot on, I believe it is a must for all people to see!
