First time for our family at this Luau and we loved everything about it. Our kids (17yrs & 12yrs) came out of the show remembering the mountains that were mentioned. Beautiful story of love being weaved through the dances & songs. The food was amazing! You wont be disappointed.

It's a little drive out if you are not staying there at the resort. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. The entertainment and buffet very good. We enjoyed it very much. Would highly recommend.

The Hale Hoaloha Lū'au at the Mauna Lani exceeded my expectations. The event was conveniently held on a lawn within close proximity to the hotel. The food was considerably better than I had anticipated---the seafood options (poké, sashimi, cocktail shrimp), in particular, were of excellent quality and flavor. The meal is served buffet-style with several dozen selections available. The event was mostly self-service, but there were numerous staff that helped to direct traffic, bus tables and cater to guests. The entertainment was enjoyable, if slightly cheesy. There was hula dancing, fire-juggling and music. The weather cooperated beautifully with clear skies and a robust breeze to keep things cool. Highly recommend!

For reference my Husband and I paid for the upgraded Ali'i experience. Upon arrival we were greated with cocktails and beautiful white shell leis. We were pretty excited to have these as they are a great keepsake which will last. The package came with a lovely photo souvenir which was taken right as we arrived. Perfect timing as we were still fresh from getting ready. After photos were were taken to our table. With the Ali'i package we had a lovely private table in the front row, and we had a private server who kept bringing us whatever drink we requested all night. There was also a plate of appetizers on the table which we could snack on. I recommend getting there early as there are some traditional activities to experience. These were all fun and only at the beginning. Once everyone ar

Aloha! This was an amazing luau!! The MC was a great storyteller and singer. The performers were so graceful and fluid, delivering captivating performances with beautiful Hawaiian attire. The Fire performing Chief was last and he did an amazing job!! I like the way the food was served on the gorgeous lawn, it felt so open and authentic. Everything I tasted was fantastic. Fish, pork beef with many sides. Pre luau festivities are a lovely touch and one reason I chose this luau, wish they were a little longer, really enjoyed the emu ceremony. The service was very good at the beginning of the night but tapered down after show began. This is one of the top luaus I've been to, I highly recommend!! The valet parking is super easy and I recommend this also. You can take a quick look a
