    Amazing food and wonderful show!

    Phenomenal food and show! Best food I’ve ever had at any sort of buffet. I loved that they did additional games and (fake) tattoos before dinner! Made it extra special for my kids and was fun for me as an adult too. Very family friendly experience.

    100 percent must see

    This is an amazing show! The dancers are incredible, the hostess is enchanting and tells you beautiful stories about the islands of Hawaii. There is music, dancing, and the food is delicious. Food is clearly marked regarding allergens.

    Fantastic must on the Big Island!!!

    Rachel was nothing short of AMAZING. Knowledgeable and kind and fun all day long. She was genuinely interested in everyone’s personal stories, and made the whole experience. What a gem!!!

    Great for young families, couples or any folks interested - will 100% return, this made our Hawaii trip complete.

    This is an excellent Luau and we really felt like they welcomed us and we felt like the whole experience exuded “ohana”. They did a great job of creating a communal experience through law games, recognition of anniversaries, birthdays, etc. and the meal and storytelling / dancing did not disappoint. We were hesitant to bring our 3 and 5 year old kids but they LOVED it and watched the entire show. Upon entry we had our family picture taken, it was a nice touch! We were impressed with the quality, so much so that we bought a digital copy, our only professional family photo on the island 😍. The welcome drinks were sweet and our children were delighted to have something as fancy looking as our cocktails. We were seated at a table with 2 other families (perhaps intentionally?) and it was really special - our kids hung out all evening and we left the Luau with friends. There were not too many young children there but I think the intentional seating made us feel like this was worth it for our kids. Then came lawn games, everyone including adults partook and it was a great way to meet other people. The dinner tasted delicious and there was something for everyone. Food was plentiful and there was no need to worry, I’m sure they had plenty of left overs. The desserts were yummy and we tried 1 of everything. The story telling and dancing were beautiful. Our whole family was entertained. The hostess was a fantastic MC and performer. And all of the dancers were really impressive. Logistics: we appreciated the free valet parking and of course tipped on the way out. The bathrooms were super close and sunset was just behind the venue. (It is a long lawn so don’t expect to be at the ocean). Next time would bring a hat for the beginning, sunglasses necessary until nightfall, it’s on grass so wear sandals or flats, no heels or else you can plan to be uncomfortable. We have done other luaus in the past (when we didn’t have kids)and this is by far the best And would have loved it with or without kids! I highly recommend this experience and should we find ourselves here again, we will 10000% do it again. Every seat is a good seat and it was totally worth the price point - it definitely delivered.

    Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.

    How much does Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau cost?

    +

    Prices start at $215 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.

    Is Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 96 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau?

    +

    Around 34 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Big Island: Hawaii Loa Luau start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?

    +

    The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?

    +

    April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
