International Market Place, Waikiki
The show itself gets enthusiastic praise, with guests consistently highlighting the talented performers, engaging hosts, and interactive atmosphere that welcomes everyone from kids to adults. The staff and entertainers come across as friendly and hospitable, creating genuine energy that makes the experience memorable. Many reviewers specifically mention how inclusive the show feels, particularly for families with children. Here's where expectations matter: this luau takes place inside a shopping mall, which is polarizing. Some guests appreciate the convenient downtown location and short ride from hotels, finding it accessible and good value. Others feel the mall setting lacks authentic atmosphere and were disappointed by what they considered average food and limited drink options. The stage height also comes up as a viewing challenge for those seated in back rows. Despite the unconventional venue, most visitors seem to focus on the quality of the performance itself, which consistently earns praise for its entertainment value and cultural presentation.
This was a very fun luau. While it is in the middle of a mall... you still have an intimate feel with an open air roof. The entertainment was amazing, the food was delicious and the price was just right. I felt like I was at a family luau/party. Don't hesitate to book this experience ! For seating : Front, middle and back sections. You can see very well from all sections but if you can splurge on the front.. do it !
