We had an amazing experience at this luau! The oceanfront setting at sunset created the perfect memorable night. The buffet offered a great mix of traditional Hawaiian dishes—especially the kalua pork. The performers were the true highlight: the storytelling, hula dancing, and the fire knife show were all top notch. Everything was well-organized, and the staff made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. This luau is absolutely worth it if you want an authentic, fun, and beautifully presented Hawaiian evening.”

Omg this Luau was hand down amazing. The staff was go nice, upon arrival we were greeted with leis and took photos with a couple of the dancers that we were able to purchase at the end. Once in we got temporary tattoos, learned the history behind the flowers in the hair, and got one placed in out hair. The show told an several stories of their culture. And the food was yummy which was buffet style. 10/10 highly recommend

Everything! The entertainment was fabulous and exciting. The food was excellent with great presentation. I'm so glad we chose Germaine's Luau! It's hard to tell for sure on the internet what you're going to get. This particular one was well represented and exactly as you see on the website. 👍🏻

Enjoy a backyard-style Hawaiian luau on a stunning beachfront area, offering a unique glimpse into Polynesian culture and hospitality under the stars.

See the location where Disney's Lilo & Stitch movie was shot as you immerse yourself in the live cultural performances, including hula dances, fire-knife shows, and the Imu Ceremony.

Savor your luau dinner with dishes blending the American-Hawaiian cuisines, featuring kalua pig roasted in an underground imu, island-style chicken, fresh local sides, and tropical desserts.

Start off with a warm lei greeting and participate in pre-show festivities like craft and weaving lessons, and traditional Hawaiian tattoo making that immerse you in island traditions.

Ideal for those who want to get into the Aloha spirit in an open-air setting, families & children who want lively and engaging activities, and those who want to learn more about Polynesian culture through vibrant storytelling & performances.

The Imu ceremony is the process of uncovering the lid, taking the prepared food out, and preparing it for the luau, to showcase the art of this ancient cooking method in practice.
