Food was excellent and buffet line did not take long. We thought there was assigned seating per our ticket but it was open seating for most people. We did not know it was totally open air so luckily the weather was good. Would recommend a hat and sun glasses if you are sensitive to sun exposure.

The luau was very entertaining and the emcee was exceptional. Would recomend, but pricing should be different for anyone under 21 since alcohol was included. The food was very good! The parking was a little annoying with ticket validation and the machine not working when leaving, it should be complimentary for the price. The photo op was over priced, $20 for a 5 x 7, it should have been included as well for $113 a person.

This was an amazing show. The food was good. I feel like a lot of the reviews I read people were expecting the food to be extravagant but I feel like they were wanting to share the foods that are most commonly consumed here which was great. I loved how they gave back stories of there island and then followed by the dances. most definitely one of my favorite things I did on the island.
