We were all excited about where this Luau was going to be. At the last minute we were switched over to the Ka Moana Luau. They brought our dinner over. I couldn’t eat it, not because I didn’t like it but because it was ice cold. I paid $450.00 for VIP at Diamond Head Luau at the Waikiki Aquarium. This place was considerable cheaper with stone cold food. I chose Diamond Head Luau for a reason not to be switched to a cheaper one that I didn’t like when looking for a Luau. If I had wanted to go to that one I would have picked it over the Diamond Head Luau. I doubt seriously I will ever recommend either one to my friends or family. We ended up leaving before the show was over. It started pouring down rain and of course the stage was covered and the staff area was covered. But we got soaked!!!!! NEVER AGAIN.

I thought the dances were spectacular. The food was really great, and the announcer was the most entertaining part of the whole experience.

Great Luau. The food was really good but the dancers were even better. I highly recommend this Luau. They showed dances from the different cultures in the Pacific region.

The show was great. The performers (dancers/MC, etc.) put out a lot of energy, and represented the Polynesian Islands well. The musicians were wonderful.

The food and show were just average. The dessert was 2 bite size pieces of cake. We expected more from this luau given that 2 tickets cost about $460.00 . Included were drink tickets for “premium” drinks but for a tropical drink, all you can get is a small Mai tai. Other tropical drinks were an $8.00 a piece up charge in addition to your drink ticket. The ticket includes free tickets to the aquarium but there is not much to the aquarium but fish and coral(the sea lion part was under renovation). They also charge $35 if you want the picture taken at the beginning of the luau. For $460, they could have given you the picture. All in all, we felt like it wasn’t worth the cost of the ticket for what you got.

The luau was our first and we were so glad we chose this one. The performances were top notch! The food and drinks (little on expensive side) were good too!
