When I booked the luau I was afraid it would be a touristy thing. But this was not the feeling at all! Everything was well organized and coordinated, with greetings, time to check the crafts shops and a few drinks, and then the imu ceremony. I enjoyed the food buffet especially the fish and the sweet potatoes, but I didn't think it was excellent. What was excellent was the show though: a highly entertaining representation of the story of the first Hawaiians through amazing dancing, singing, live instrument playing and acting... the costumes were also awesome! I couldn't take my eyes off the stage! I had a great time and I'm happy I didn't book just the show because this way I had time to "get into the spirit" during pre-dinner and dinner, but I guess someone might be disappointed from the food and drinks and might want to choose the show-only option. With my regular seat I could see the stage very well.
