We loved this Luau! One of the best Luau's we have ever been to. Very family orientated. We especially loved the Mahi Mahi coconut fish dish and the fire show. One of the best fire shows we have seen on the islands. We also went to the Old Lahaina Luau and liked this one the best. The Old Lahaina Luau... More

Very small but very family oriented. We did not worry about our kids running around at all. They had a lot of "preshow" activities for our kids (8,6,4). The children's buffet line could have gone much faster by having servers on each side of the table (kids can walk on the outside of the servers). Otherwise everything was really good!

They have the local dishes for a luau. They aim to please and server their customers well. You would tell your friends about it. I would say go in your in the area and yes it definitely is for families.

If you have kids under 13 this is THE luau for you to do, if you don't have kids and want something more polished then you'd probably do better at one of the resorts. The food was ok, sides were nothing special and dessert may have come from Foodland, but the chicken, pork and fish were all very good. Real... More

I had zero desire to see a luau, but they put on a good show, and it's very family friendly

We are first time visitors to Maui and had a great expectation of this luau after reading the reviews and visiting their website. It certainly is a kid-friendly place since they had different activities for them and included them in the show. However, the show was just average and the food was okay. The food was served in a buffet... More

Even our almost 2 year old was enthralled with the dancers. We were all on stage at different points in the show dancing ourselves. Good value.
