Taking place in lush Waimea Valley on the North Shore of Oahu, Toa Luau invites you to an evening of delicious island-style dining, cultural presentations and a spectacular show. Prior to the big luau feast, you'll have the chance to explore the world-class Waimea Valley botanical garden and its beautiful nature trails and historical sites. The garden is home to an abundance of tropical flora, as well as the beautiful Waimea waterfall. As a result, visiting this luau is a unique combination of enjoying a leisurely nature walk and a traditional Hawaiian evening.
In addition, this experience is a great choice for guests who want a cultural evening in one of Oahu’s most scenic natural settings. Before dinner, you can take in the valley surroundings, enjoy hands-on activities and learn more about Polynesian traditions. Then, after the luau supper, the evening continues with music, dance and a fire knife performance. For more island options, you can also compare other Oahu luaus.
