Oahu: Chief's Luau Admission Including Transfers

It was great, food was good, the host was great, and the entertainment was wonderful! Definitely recommend!

We were not informed about the correct time to meet the shuttle to go to this event. We missed the show. Soooo mad

Transfer was easy, departure time was around 4pm. The show was great, food was ok, nothing special. Would probably look for better food next time!

The food was good and the entertainment was excellent. The fire dancing was exceptional. The Chief is quite the comedian. We really enjoyed everything.

Everything is at their pace. So you will lose your drink tickets and pretty much be told to pound sand.

The luau performers were wonderful! We enjoyed watching the show. The Chief was funny and entertaining. The cost was not proportional to the event I don’t think. There are 3 ticket options based on seating and number of free drinks. The seating wasn’t very different in the three sections. Since there were just tables on the ground in front of the stage, everyone had a good view. It’s at Wet and Wild, so it does loose some of the authenticity. If you want the whole cooked pig brought out and the natural environment, this isn’t it. It began raining pretty hard, they gave us rain ponchos but ultimately had to cut the program short I believe. But the fire show was awesome!

I was a little disappointed, I went to Paradise Cove Luau about 10 years ago and had a great time. If they were still open I would have gone back to that one. So I am comparing Chiefs to Paradise Cove. Some of the things that disappointed me about Chief's was there were no activities before the dinner and show, no alcohol. Paradise had a full bar and our free drinks were any drinks from the bar. Paradise also cooked the pig in the ground and had the ceremony when it was removed. Chief's food was just catered and was ok at best.

100% Hawaiian family entertainment. The live music and dance was excellent. The buffet was good. The Chief recognized birthdays,wedding anniversaries, veterans and included audience In the show. Several Pacific islands were recognized with their music and dance. One con is the water park bathrooms which are dark. Dancers are skilled with fire and ice, using weapons and poles. Our bus driver, Lisa,was funny,informative and made us feel like family. We learned a lot about Hawaii with her talk during the ride from the cruise port.

The show is fabulous but Guests know that it is a buffet dinner. The dinner was very average with very small paper plates .I was expecting great food to match the traditional experience.

They changed the location. There is no roasting of the pig in the pig coming out the ground the view that I saw from the previous referral showed that the ocean view and the cats just was overwhelming with cats, and it was at a waterpark. The actual set up wasn’t bad, but the fact that you had to walk away so far for your food just wasn’t and then the bar was far away, so the experience wasn’t what I expected for the price that I paid.

The performance itself was amazing and truly the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing because of the food and the location. The luau was held at what appeared to be an old golf land/water park, which was not at all what I expected for the price of the tickets. There were also stray cats roaming throughout the area, which took away from the overall atmosphere and made the setting feel less enjoyable. While the entertainment was excellent, the food and venue did not meet my expectations. Knowing what the location and overall setting were like beforehand, I honestly would not have purchased the tickets.

The entertainment is great. The main guy is funny and held the kids attention. Entertainment was great. Food was meh. Our bus driver was informative and funny. We had an issue with the bus, but it got corrected quickly with a new bus.

Loved this show! The entertainment and food was wonderful. We had the transfers to and from our hotel and found our driver to be prompt and personable. I would recommend this activity for couples or for the whole family.

Absolutely the best time of our lives! Highly recommend! The food, drinks and entertainment were perfect! The setting was excellent at Wet and Wild!

Very good experience . We had show with transportation and everything go very smoothly. Food also was very good

“Excellent show! My husband and I have been to Chief’s Luau twice, and both experiences have been amazing. The first time we attended, my husband proposed to me, so Chief’s Luau will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We returned this time to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary, and once again, we had a wonderful time. Chief is absolutely hilarious, keeps everyone engaged throughout the entire show, and does a great job making everyone feel included. The entertainment, atmosphere, and overall experience were fantastic. We have truly enjoyed ourselves both times and would definitely recommend Chief’s Luau to anyone visiting Hawaii. 🌺❤️🌴

Definitely recommend this Luau to all going to Honolulu. My kids from ages 5 to 17. Enjoyed the activities the food, and of course the cultural immerse entertainment. We all learned and danced in this luau.

Such a wonderful show! Humorous and informative! The fire dancers were phenomenal, I couldn’t take my eyes off the stage! The food was great and the atmosphere was unmatched! I would pick Chief’s Luau again!

The luau was a great experience. Family friendly, and full of activities. Chief was awesome!!!!!!!!!

Definitely worth going to my daughter and I had a blast. The fire show was amazing my daughter won't stop talking about it 🤙🤙

They do list that it’s at an amusement park or waterpark, which unfortunately is not conducive to a luau. But I knew that going in The pork was tasty, but the food was easily the worst part of it. It clearly had been made a long time ago it was colder room temperature if you will, but the most disturbing thing is that it didn’t smell like anything you couldn’t smell any food and that made it seem extra made a long time ago. The fish tasted more like egg and was probably cooked a long time ago. In that the batter was mush. The chicken was dry as There was no haupia, which is a coconut pudding in Hawaii and that was a bummer. The food was just super underwhelming. And we did the paradise tier. For the entertainment that was a B, with the exception of the fire dancers who were stupendous. A+plus on the fire dancers. This was not my first luau. And I would honestly say that I wouldn’t recommend it. That hurts my heart, cause Lord knows we paid a ton for it. And while the entertainment was solid, the food wasn’t. And come on. should be really good for what is for many, a once in a lifetime experience.hell. Rice was fine. The barbecue pork in the noodles was fine and the star was definitely the pork.

One of the best show we see ever , excellent explanation about culture , dance , food , acrobatic , etc is a fenomenal Show , highly recommend by carlos Mantilla , it is me . We feel really happy and enjoy fantastic show . We can back a see again …

This luau had positive reviews because it once was at a different location when the chief was much younger. This luau cost just under $900 for a family of 4. We got the transportation part and although the bus from Robert’s of Hawaii is decent, this driver would not stop talking for the full 1 hour ride there. Really bad and sad and rude jokes that set a bad start to the whole evening. Trying to put that past us when we arrived, we were immediately herded like cattle into a water slide park and directed into a corner of it with astroturf and a waterfall that looked like it was just diverted from one of the water slides. Drink tickets were included and we had to wait in a line that had 2 people serving drinks with about 30 people waiting in each line. The tickets included limited selections of about 4 options or you could buy a frozen drink for $30 each. Obviously the included drinks were weak and poor in flavor. At one point an additional waitress appeared for about 5 minutes until she walked away to feed stray cats off to the side of the line. The line for drinks took so long that they started telling people to go get food at the buffet while tons of people were still waiting for drinks. Buffet was as poor as you could possibly imagine. I have had much better quality and flavorful food the last time I was in the hospital. Chief runs the show with a bunch of hundred year old jokes and many seem sexist and dated. Dancing was ok and only positive was the fire dancing at the end. Can’t believe we wasted almost $1000 dollars on this sad event. But again, we should have read that this is at a water slide park now and no longer waterfront with actual freshly prepared food. We have been to a luau 2 other locations and both were light years better than this one. Please learn from our mistake and go to any other luau or just save you money for absolutely anything else you can book while in Hawaii.

Be prepared to see an amazing performance the different selections of food is more than you can eat. You will be very happy that you picked this Luau.

We had the best time! Kid approved menu we loved the food loved the entire village overall 10/10 experience. The driver was so sweet had no problem locating pick up location

This was an absolutely wonderful Luau. Being able to book with transportation to the Luau was very helpful. Food and drinks were very good & plentiful. A lot of fun things to do and many opportunities to interact with the performers. The Chief was very funny & also very informative. Another huge plus was they didn't solicit for tips or reviews!! Highly recommend!

The show was outstanding, you'll be amazed at the talent on display. It was truly a party atmosphere! The food was good, and it was nice to be able to try some Hawaiian food (poi, tarot, etc.).

The Chief Luau was wonderful! The Chief was so entertaining and very informative of the Hawaiian culture. We took our 9 year old granddaughter and she absolutely loved it!

A must visit Oahu: Chief's Luau Admission Including Transfers, if you are in Oahu. Shows are fantastic, food is delicious, staff is very friendly and helpful. This is the best, I would recommend. June 5, 2026

I don’t usually expect much from a buffett, but the food was really good and plentiful! The show was well done and entertaining.

Amazing experience! A must see, best show in Hawaii

The show was humorous, exciting and very authentic! We loved every minute of it. The dinner was great too.

Such a a great experience!!! And the food was really good!! Good job Chief ! Would highly recommend !!

I have been to a few different luaus, but none of them come close to this experience! We booked a package including transportation, and Cousin Brian made it worthwhile. Every staff member was extremely kind, charismatic, and fun. The performance fostered an authentic Hawaiian experience. The food and drinks were delicious. I have a food allergy, and the staff were extremely accommodating. I would 100% recommend to anyone who has never been to a luau, or anyone who wants a true Hawaiian experience. I will be back!

Although this luau is located in a Wet N Wild, it was still a great experience and show without the sand. Food was good and plentiful.

It’s amazing!!!!! You should definitely do it! It was fun, the staff was very entertaining. I got to see whales, turtles and fish

Too many people felt like a herd of cows, standing around long times before you can get in and too be so expensive I just expected more. Lining up like I’m in a school lunch line to get food was not what I expected. They did their best to make you have a good experience but honestly I think my expectations were too high. My first and last luau most likely.

The Luau is outside no overhead cover. The show was great with explanation of the different cultures represented. The food was awesome and there was plenty of it. Overall experience was awesome. Cousin who was bus escort was entertaining and informative on the trips.

The experience was informative and gave detailed historical data about the island people. The host was very humorous. The dancers and the costumes were very colorful and exciting. The whole experience was interactive and the food was authentic and delicious.

Chiefs luau has the most friendly staff and the experience was so easy to book. It was such a fun experience whether you go with friends, family, or a partner, the luau is funny, entertaining, and so welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Entertaining night. Decent food. No need to buy higher package. Good fire show. Gets a little chilly by the end of the night.

MC did a fantastic job. Audience participation was promoted which made the sense of Ohana meaningful. It was interesting to experience the different performances based on the island they originated from.

Early morning one was a great choice. Trail is steep in spots and has great views. We were lucky enough to get to see a rainbow when we got to the top. Bring water is a must. Transportation driver was great and very knowledgeable about the island and made it easy to get from hotel to Diamond head. Definitely a must do item.

Fantastic luau, friendly courteous and lots of fun. Very entertaining and the food and entertainment is very good.

We had an incredible time at Chief's Luau! We were picked up in Waikiki and driven there. The host on the bus was fun and entertaining. The buffet had a nice variety of food and was really good. The highlight of the night was the show! It was nonstop entertainment - from the singing, to the chief's sense of humor, to highlighting the different Polynesian cultures, to inviting the guests on stage, to the AMAZING fire show! I highly recommend!

Chief’s Luau is the BEST! It’s a full experience where you learn about the island nations. CHIEF is an educator. If you attend this luau you will not only be entertained you will catch the very essence of the island people. Their values and love for family and their beautiful land. The fire dancers are unlike anything, truly amazing!

Excellent show, warm and friendly staff, food was delicious we had an excellent time, Transportation was a plus

Very entertaining. Everyone did such a good job, the fire show was great. Very engaging and good opportunities for crowd participation. The line for food was a bit long but doesn’t impact the luau. Definitely recommend

We had a great time at Chief's Luau..a bus came and picked us up, while it was a bit of a drive from our hotel, it was comfortable and pleasant. Things were very organized and the surroundings were beautiful. At first I thought it was a bit hokie to be at a water park but it was beautiful! The food was ok, but it is hard to get gourmet for a crowd. There was plenty of solid food! Drinks were pricey but that was ok with us..we weren't there for the booze. Chief and his crew were very entertaining and did a great job talking about the Hawaiian culture and the people's that settled the islands..I probably won't go again but I would recommend to friends.
