The Mauna Kea Lū‘au

The best part of the luau was the fire dancer. He was amazing. The choreographed dances were fun to watch as well. The atmosphere had a beautiful sunset but lost one star due to the bugs. Most unfortunate was the food. In my opinion, the food was bland, and the pig was especially dry.

Amazing fire show with great atmosphere. Good was delicious.

Simply regrettable that even with premium tickets, drinks are not included (20$ for a small Mai Tai in a plastic cup...) and that the premium seat result in being just being light spots...

Good show, below mediocre food. I have been to 4 other luaus, the show was very nice, staff very nice. Not as fun as other luau and food not even half as good.

A nice intimate luau. The food was plentiful and pretty good. They were a little behind schedule the evening we attended. It’s a small company, so there is a break during the eating. The show is good, with an interesting take on how to talk about the history of the islands even with a little time given to the 1930-1940s. The dancers and musicians are very talented. A fun evening.

This was our first luau and we thought the show was great. Very entertaining and informative about the history of Hawaii. The cast was great and friendly, we got to take pictures at the end but they asked us not to take pictures of the show. We did get some at the beginning. Food was good but not great. Services was non existent came a couple of times and that was it. Would have liked to order more drinks but we got one. A little pricey, Would I do it again yes. Do i recommend this one absolutely for the show. Also the timing is great because they give you an intermission right before sunset and wow!! What a perfect spot to be.

Absolutely incredible. Food was delicious, there were many options with plenty of food. The imu was super cool, the show was amazing, the dancing was mesmerizing, as was the fire knife dancing (woah.) 100% recommend and the premium seating is totally worth it.

Parking: I’m not 100% sure if we parked correctly, but we just pulled into the beach lot and parked ourselves. It said there was valet parking but we were there early so maybe that’s why lol. But it was good, the lū'au isn’t far from the lot at all.

Kid-friendliness: The performers were so friendly and actively tried to get the children in the audience involved.
