Chiefs Luau
In this article, we share what it was like to go to Chief's Luau.

Love, love, LOVE this fire-knife show! Unlike other luaus that only have a few fire-knife dancers, this one has 8!

How to Get There

What to Expect
NOTE: We attended this luau in June 2021 when COVID-19 restrictions were still in effect.
Luau Package Options
There are two (2) main seating options:
1. Paradise (General option)
2. Royal (VIP option)
It's about a $40 difference between the two packages. Should you do the Royal Package?
***NOTE: At time of filming (June 2021), only two seating options (Paradise and Royal) were available. As of now, a 3rd option is available (Aloha) at $143pp
In a word? Maybe.
If you're planning on purchasing more drinks, they run about $10 each. With the Royal/VIP, you get 2 additional drink tickets (value: about $20). You also get a fresh-flower lei and and a souvenir gift. So, if you're planning on having a couple more drinks, you're essentially paying $20 for better seating.
Seating is a tricky thing. It doesn't matter – until it does. If you're in the back of the Paradise/General section? Well…that extra $40ish makes it worth it.

What to Wear
- Luaus are 100% outdoors. If you are attending a luau in our winter season of Dec-Feb, it can be breezy at night. I would recommend a light jacket for when the sun goes down.
