All 4 of us had a fabulous time at the Nutridge estate luau!!! We were picked up in Honolulu near our cruise ship. First stop was at the top of the mountain overlooking Honolulu. GREAT VIEW! Then we went to the estate where we learned about Hawaiian culture and saw an exciting performance of hula, followed by a delicious feast of many different Hawaiian foods. What a really enjoyable evening and one definitely not to miss!!!

The culture and history of Hawaii shared at this Luau was incredible with a little humor woven throughout. The female and male staff were talented fire eating dancers! For 4 hours we were thoroughly entertained with story-telling, history and dancing, then fed an authentic Hawaiian dinner with a show. Our view from the dining area was of Pearl Harbor, and the sunset highlighted it perfectly. We ended the evening with a Hula lesson and prizes. Would highly recommend this especially if you prefer an intimate setting rather than a big crowd. (By the way, Elvis Presley use to stay here when it was a retreat)

This was the highlight of our trip on Oahu! It was very entertaining and informative, the people were very kind and made you feel like family. We were able to try all different types of authentic Hawaiian cuisine. Even though the food may not be for everyone it was great to sample all of it. Thank you❤️

"Disappointment"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 19, 2025 NEW
I selected this luau based on the selling point of authentic. The show was mediocre but it does say they are no big production. Staff were friendly and informative. The grounds were nice. I was more excited about the food but that was a let down. I expected to see the pig brought out of the ground. The food appeared to be catered. Meat was bland & dry. Definitely not worth the price.
