This luau did not disappoint! We had so much fun, from being able to go through the botanical gardens beforehand, to swimming in the waterfall, to the pre-luau activities (my husband got to crack open a coconut!), to the food and show-we had a great time! The hosts were personable and funny, while also giving good information. We loved that it was a family event, as well. Definitely do this luau!

Luaus are an almost obligatory activity on any Hawaii itinerary; each similar in format but different in setting, theme, quality of food, etc. Toa Luau, which receives 97% 5-star ratings from over 500 reviews on Viator and TripAdvisor, is the best I’ve ever attended! A relatively recent addition to the luau scene, having only started in 2017, Toa Luau is run by a Samoan family who used to perform for other luaus but wanted to offer a more authentic experience. Silver, gold and VIP packages are priced according to proximity to the stage, number of drink tickets and whether a souvenir is included; children under 5 are free. The experience begins with family-friendly, hands-on activities like opening coconuts, peeling green apple bananas with wooden knives (pictured here), roasting cacao beans and later sampling the hot chocolate made from them, etc. Before dinner is served, the cast enacts a Fijian kava ceremony observed since ancient times to mark the installation of a new chief, seal agreements between communities, welcome visitors to the village, and other important occasions. In keeping with Toa Luau’s audience involvement, a couple guests are chosen to participate in the ceremony and taste real kava, a mild numbing relaxant. After dinner, the cast explains the meaning of and performs traditional dances from Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga and New Zealand (Aotearoa). The night ends with a mesmerizing Samoan fire knife dance.

The whole experience was just great. They encourage participation without making it embarrassing. Great for kids or adults. The MC was hilarious and I believe a genuinely good guy. The ohana (hate to call them just staff) working/demonstrating/performing were very talented, engaging, entertaining, and just generally outstanding. Food was great too! I’d go back in a heartbeat! Totally a standout memory of the trip! So glad we drove up from the south shore!
