Chief's Luau offers a cool, fun, and fantastic experience, making it one of the best events during a 12-day stay. The show is entertaining, culturally appropriate, and interactive, featuring great humor from the Chief and incredibly talented dancers. Guests enjoy a delicious buffet, especially the pork, and a lovely Purple Bread. The evening is filled with excitement, entertainment, comedy, and beautiful storytelling, including educational elements about Polynesian culture, dazzling dances, and a fire show. The warm and inviting atmosphere is family-friendly, with efficient food service and clear labeling of gluten-free options. The Royal Experience seating option provides an up-close view of every detail. Plenty of parking is available, and arriving early is recommended as the venue tends to fill up quickly. Before entering, guests can enjoy a show in front of the sign and take photos to purchase later. Inside, there are vendors selling merchandise, a tattoo artist, a pre-show with music, and a bar where drinks are available for purchase downstairs—it's helpful to have someone with you if you need assistance. Water is free, while other drinks are for sale. The host is funny and keeps everyone entertained all night. The buffet is located to the right upon entry and offers a variety of good options, with plenty of time to enjoy the meal. The show includes talented performers who tell a great story, and the crowd is included throughout the event. The fire show, where sticks with fire are thrown in the air, is especially memorable. Overall, Chief's Luau provides great hospitality and a fun, respectful evening suitable for families and travelers seeking an enjoyable, non-touristy experience.
