It was a really great show! You can feel and see the casts really get along well and love their jobs. The food was delicious. The venue was very spacious but easy to get around. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the stage right next to the ocean was amazing. We loved everything about it

I was at Germaine's 20years ago and not much has changed. It's a great family event even though it's a little dated. Still a memorable time. Awesome sunset!!

After coming to Hawaii 3 times, Germaine has by far the best authentic Hawaiian food. Everything they had to eat was so good. Fried fish, kula pork, teriyaki meat, chicken, mac salad, I can keep on going with their amazing food. Their entertainment took you through all the islands with their beautiful outfits. Their free drinks were amazing as well. At the end of the show taking pictures with their dancers was a great treat. I highly recommend Germaines to anyone looking for a luau.

The welcome was very special from the moment we arrived; all the staff were very friendly and attentive the entire time, and the show was truly impressive and well executed.

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.

Upgrade to Original Luau (with central area seating) to enjoy additional complimentary beverages and souvenir gifts. Or choose the Plumeria Luau (VIP seating) experience for initial table service during the luau, round-trip transportation from Waikiki, Express Bar privileges, free parking, & souvenirs.

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.
