Fantastic experience from start to finish.

Bill_L, Sept 2023

Fantastic evening from start to finish. The program was thoroughly entertaining providing many insights into the culture, history & traditions of the Hawaiian islands. Food was fantastic with loads of choices within each course to give you a good sampling of native cuisine. The dancing was highly entertaining to include the finale with the fire dancers. Would highly recommend this event to anyone going to Maui.

Yvonne_R, Jul 2023

We enjoyed the experience however there was hair in our food (one in our poke and another in our salad) and no one helped my father in the wheelchair. I requested help and they gave us a short cut instead of offering a golf cart.
