Toa Luau
Visit a traditional Hawaiian luau on the island’s north shore. Toa Luau is one of Oahu’s best luaus! What makes it truly special is its setting in a tropical botanical garden at Waimea Valley. All luau guests also receive free same-day admission to the botanical garden, so to make use of this, arrive a bit earlier in the day and enjoy a stroll through this lush paradise! If you wish, you can enjoy a swim at Waimea Falls, located within the garden (weather permitting).
Check-in for Toa Luau begins at 4:45 pm. Prior to the big luau feast, you can watch or participate in a variety of cultural presentations or arts & crafts. Then sit down to a delicious buffet dinner featuring a wide variety of delicacies. After dinner, watch the exciting Toa Luau show, featuring music and dances from Hawaii and greater Polynesia.
