Rock-a-hula

Emele, Celeste, Tory and Alexis were so GOOD to us. The service was unequaled anywhere. They genuinely loved what they were doing and it was contagious. Everyone around us were laughing and dancing and having the time of their lives. It’s rare to go to a place filled with authentic people that only want you to have fun and enjoy everything around you. Well this was that place and these are those people. Bravo!!!!

Just wow, do it!

This was our first time in Hawaii, and thanks to our cruise ships delay we had some extra time and chose this Luau and show. We did the VIP package. The welcome by the team was lovely, with musician Ke’ali’i singing lovely tunes. We were well served at our table and with drinks by Tahner, John and Fraser. We then had hula dancing displays and lessons from the very talented Kama, then the Luau feast. What a feast! Just superb, so much good food. We didn’t know what to expect and didn’t in fact know what the “rock” part of the title “rock a hula” even meant. The traditional Hawaiian song and dance through the years with multimedia backgrounds was superb. The fire twirling was daring and skilful. The unexpected highlight was the Elvis and Michael Jackson tribute acts. They were Los Vegas-quality, and the support band was tight. The dancers showed they also were not just skilled at Hula, it was a complete show. The only slight negative was that they deserved a bigger crowd. Maybe it was because it was a weeknight, but the theatre was only half full. We were very impressed by this show and overall experience. A definite must do for visitors
