"An enchanting evening at the Luau"

Reviewed October 02, 2024

The Luau was amazing, our first time in Hawaii, the Ka Mauna Luau was excellent. The people were friendly from the entry lines, receiving our leis, the food and the entertainment, it was everything I thought it would be and more. It’s a must if you’re in the area. Mahalo

"Made the best of it"

Reviewed September 30, 2024

There was a line up to get in , took a nice photo that if you wanted you had to pay , I’ve been to other luaus where dancers walk around and you can take free photos. The location was the working docks where the containers are for shipping and all night there was a loud buzzing noise ( all night ) from the docks. The food was served in a plastic container and you had to lineup in a warehouse. The entertainment was good. The dancers danced good. I would choose another one because of location and food distribution was poor. Typically luaus that I remember were on a beach overlooking the sunset , I just saw big shipping containers. Also at luaus they show you how they make the meat in the ground this didn’t have that either . The service was nice , we had fun and made the best of it , I was just surprised with the location, had I known I wouldn’t have chosen this one .

"Excellent show, but other areas need improvement."

Reviewed September 17, 2024

The show was excellent. The food was good, except for the dessert which was weak, with no selection. Also, they played games with the drink tickets; you had to pay extra to get most drinks, and pina colada wasn't available. And they kept calling / texting me a day or two before the Luau, trying to get me to pay more for an "upgrade".

"Bad experience"

Reviewed September 06, 2024

HIGHLY...... disappointing experience! First time visit to the Hawaiian island & the Moana luau was terrible. The food was awful, was served up buffet style with very sad selection on menu. The entertainment was even worse, left right after the awful dinner, found our on way back to our hotel. I recommend anyone visiting the island to do there research on luau before purchasing!

"Too expensive for too little"

Reviewed August 30, 2024

Not impressive at all. My wife and I were very bored and disappointed. We spent too much money for not much at all. The food wasn’t terrible, though.
