My husband and I went to the luau with our 2 young adult daughters and we all had a blast. We learned a lot and had so much fun. Fire dancing was incredible. This luau is a family business so I felt great about supporting it! Set in the gorgeous Waimea Valley. If you plan to visit the falls before the luau choose a day other than Monday when everything is closed. Perfect was to enjoy a family evening.

We were in a bnb across the street from the Mormon-run Polynesian Cultural Center which would've made their luau insanely convenient, but we opted for Toa Luau instead, based on two things. 1) previous reviewers seemed to think it was more authentic. 2) we were able to get a package that included admission the adjacent Waimea Botanical Garden, which sounded more our speed. We ended up thoroughly satisfied. There's an element to all these shows, I gather, that recognizes the tourist clientele and so the hosts delivered their share of prerequisite jokes. But not too much of this. And there was a large exposure to Polynesian culture and history as the night unfolded that we really appreciated. The Luau performances were cut from a wide cloth with dances and songs from across the South Pacific. And of course, the entertainment value was all there, including the expected "fiery" finale. But moreover, by the end of the night, you really got the sense that it was important to these people -- many of whom come from the same family -- to keep alive key elements to their cultural past and share them with us. It felt good supporting this effort. From a practical standpoint, the dinner show food was better than expected, as were the two included drinks. The cultural activities leading up to a demonstration of how traditional Polynesian meals are prepared were interesting. The tree climbers hammed it up a bit, but were good at what they do, and enjoyable. The botanical garden (which you tour at your leisure for a couple of hours before the luau) was not in full bloom, but we still enjoyed it. The trail ends at a picturesque waterfall where some people who brought along bathing suits were taking a swim. There are also plaques along the way explaining the garden's history, including the many different types of hibiscus that were developed here. If you're going to do a luau on Oahu, I would highly recommend this one. It checked all the boxes and was about as sincere a performance as you're going to get.

Easily the best Luau on the island. Real hands on experience for the whole family. This was certainly the highlight of our week in Hawaii. We stayed at the Hilton Lagoon Resort in Waikiki. Our condo overlooked their Luau which we watched twice from our balcony. I can only describe their Luau as trip to McDonald's. It was big and all but was certainly nothing special and nothing personal. They seat about 400 people with most tables seated far away from the stage. Compare that to our experience at Toa Luau and it was like fine dining as compared to a trip to McDonalds. Toa opens up with hands on experiences for everyone. While the guests do not get to climb a coconut tree they do show how it has been for hundreds of years. Guests are given the opportunity to peel off the husks, crack a coconut, and shred the meat. The above ground cooking oven was quite interesting. From there we started with the stage show and took a tour of the Pacific Islands. This is the Luau you want to attend, you will not be disappointed.
