The food was exceptional, even for our picky children. And the show at the end of the night was tremendous! We highly recommend!”

Open bar but the drinks were not good. But glad we did it since it was our first time in Hawaii!”

Review of the Voyagers of the Pacific Luau at Royal Kona Resort, with food, sunset views, dancing, value, seating tips, and booking advice.

“This is my third luau & I would definitely recommend. This is not as big in terms of physical space as others I have done but the food was superb. We have 18 to 22 year olds & they enjoyed it too. Plenty of parking. Easy check in process. Activities included temporary tattoos, flower bracelets or hair ornaments, pictures$, and a couple others. They go thru the unveiling of the roasted pig. They have lots of dinner options on this buffet including vegetarian, beef, chicken & pork. They provide large plates & some drinks were included. Dessert plate was adequate. After dinner coffee & tea offered. The show was outstanding.…”
