"Luau disappointment"
October 2021
I was very disappointed being seated at the very last table in the back very obstructed view of the stage could barely see the dancers. Our table was the last to be called up to the buffet. Immediately following us getting to our seats it was announced that the buffet would be closing so if we want it anymore we should get up there right now. The waiter stopped bringing drinks once my son had tipped him. We had purchased three full price tickets to this Luau and were very disappointed. Multiple families stood on the sidewalk and watched the entire show and had a better view than us would paid $130 per person plus tax.

Tip: Beware of what you are purchasing. Buying the tickets early because things were selling out ended up being a very big disappointment.

"Beautiful performance!"
November 2018
Enter the yard with a shell lei and a smile that makes your evening. Watch the sunset and listen to the band. Eat local cuisine watching the moon rise among the palms. And then the dancers come out telling their histories and stories in dance. This was my experience at Voyagers of the Pacific luau......the stage backs onto an unbelievably beautiful ocean view. The food was excellent. Well organized. Worth a visit!

"Fun time luau"
June 2017
The food is ok. The cost is for the show. A dinner and a live show on the shores for Hawaii watching the sunset is going to cost you money. Nothing in Hawaii is cheap That being said the music was good, extra rum in the Mai tais is good, and it's a good and informative show. Get in line early. There is an option to buy a up front seat. It may be worth it for you. We didn't get it and we had a great view. If you make it as far as kona go to the show. How many will you ever get to see.

Tip: Go to the pier and shops a short walk by the shore. Go north to

"Not worth the money"
April 2015
We went to this luau as our big outing for the day. We were all looking forward to it. It turned out to be so disorganized that we couldn't even enjoy ourselves. The seating was terrible so you could hardly see the stage. The food wasn't what it said on the website when we booked. There was an arts and crafts table where we could make bracelets. It was so disorganized that grown women kept cutting in front of my daughter while she waited patiently. I had to keep saying something to the girl running it. And she still skipped my child! Then the guy who was drawing on people's arms kept saying he was running out of time and couldn't finish. But he was still allowing a line to form and for people to wait instead of announcing it to everyone. The food wasn't good. The only good part was the fire dancer. This isn't worth the cash. Use your money at SeaQuest for a snorkel tour. That was worth every penny!!!

Tip: Don't spend your money on this! And don't expect any of the staff to be friendly!
