Performers on stage at Kaula Luau in Ko Olina Right in Ko Olina

Kaula Lū'au

★ 4.9 on Tripadvisor · 258 reviews · Ko Olina's newest luau

An oceanfront luau at Ocean's Edge in Ko Olina, created by Native Hawaiians with an original story by playwright Moses Goods. Instead of a variety show, it's one continuous story told through hula, chant, Tahitian and Samoan dance, and a fire knife finale, with the sunset behind the stage.

Before the show: lei making, weaving, traditional instruments and net throwing. Dinner is an island buffet you can visit whenever you're hungry.

Chief's Luau

★ 4.7 on Tripadvisor · 2,430 reviews

High energy and very funny, with the island's best fire knife finale, led by the Chief himself. Held at Wet'n'Wild Hawaii in Kapolei, about 10 minutes from the Ko Olina resorts, so it's an easy drive.

Mauka Warriors Luau

★ 4.8 on Tripadvisor · 2,019 reviews

A family-run luau at Coral Crater Adventure Park that tells the story of Polynesia's warriors, with weapons demonstrations, spear throwing, hula lessons and an intense fire knife show. Reviewers rate its all-you-can-eat buffet the best of any Oahu luau, and teens love the warrior side of it.
