This was my favorite part of my first trip to Hawaii! I chose Toa Luau after reading the positive reviews and comments on the travel forum, and I am so thankful that I did! Every single part of the experience was just wonderful, and well worth the hour drive to get there. The setting in Waimea Valley was lovely…we ( my daughter, daughter in law, and I) arrived in time to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the gardens with the historical displays, the birds filling the air with song, and the change of atmosphere from busy Waikiki.
The pre luau activities were fun and educational…my dil enjoyed personal instruction and help in learning to open a coconut from the husk to sampling the coconut water inside, my daughter wove herself a leaf crown, and so much more, as well as seeing the hot rock oven cooking demonstration.
The actual luau was amazing in every way…excellent and generously portioned food, and our emcee, ‘ Cousin CiCi’ was warm, funny and gracious, making us truly feel like honored family members.
The entertainment was an informative and visually stunning tour of the various Polynesian islands culture in music and dancing with outstanding traditional dress. The grand finale of the fire dance was breathtaking!
Throughout all, the family of Toa luau were such gracious hosts, interacting with all of us, visiting the tables to chat, taking time to be sure we were enjoying ourselves, and making it a personal experience. I know I’ve used a lot of superlatives, but this was a superlative experience!
