My family was picked up just a few feet from our hotel on time and patiently waiting our arrival. The driver/tour guide, "BK", was warm, informative, eloquent, hospitable and passionate about Hawaii. The knowledge he shared was done in a professional and relatable manner. We could have spent days listening to him. He was that good! Notably "BK" was born in Hawaii, a Marine veteran and could speak personally on military and personal experiences.
The tour albeit brief, was worth the price hands down. Take the tour. Learn some valuable knowledge on WW2, Pearl harbor, Hawaii and the wonderful first citizens of this state.

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~
Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.
Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.
The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.
But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.
10/10 would definitely recommend!

Charismatic host and thrilling performances by men, women and children representing the different island nations/territories. Food is buffet style with many tasty options. Alcohol free options were also available and enjoyable.

This was our second time in a decade visiting, and we were impressed by the displays, knowledge of the staff and the Breath of Life show.
This is an excellent opportunity to experience Polynesian culture.

7歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
基本英語を覚悟してましたが、shootさんの心遣いで日本語も交えたマジックショーで子供も奥さんも理解しながら大変楽しく参加させて頂きました。
日本ではなかなか見ないマジックでしたが、改めてその楽しさを再発見させてもらいました!
また機会があれば是非参加させてもらいます。

色々と周れて、色々と食べれてちょっとづつの試食もありますが良かったです。
観光地や通りすがりに、ここはどんなとこだとか色々と話してくれて参考になりました。
運転の案内係さんが1人で13人を連れて回ってくれます1人参加でしたが、とても楽しく参加できました。

4月の初めはまだ雨の日がある。クアロアランチの当日は終日雨。
バスでのツアーのためにそれなりに楽しめました。説明はすべて英語のために日本語でのツアーがあればもっと良かった。

ジュラシックパーク大好きでずっと行ってみたかった場所へ
バスの中であのテーマソングが流れ始めた所からスタート!!
英語ツアーでしたが、私はどこの国でも英語ツアーにしていて周りの外人さん達の和気あいあいな雰囲気が大好きです。
ガイドさんも率先して撮影して頂き、1人ツアー参加の私には本当に嬉しかったです!
大自然と撮影地、映画好きの方にも自然好きの方にもハワイへ来たら是非参加して欲しいツアーでした。

This tour delivered what we expected and more. Shawn was very knowledgeable and pointed a lot about Hawaii 5-O and other interesting places and facts. It was great having a chat with Cousin Flipper, a really nice guy and prepared to answer all our questions. We would certainly recommend this tour for 5-O fans.

当日は時間通りに迎えが到着。日本やおそらくアメリカからであろう人たちと同乗し日本語も流暢に話せるガイドさんの説明を聞きながらいろいろなところに連れて行ってもらいました。どこまで続く綺麗な海、有名人が所有しているという別荘、砂浜近くまで来ている海亀やアザラシ、そしてなんといっても初めて口にする食べ物。9時間ほどのロングツアーでしたが疲れることなく楽しい時間を提供してもらいました。

We enjoyed Toa Luau so much! Our children, 2 & 4, had a wonderful time as well. The cast/crew are the same people running the activities before the meal, and serving the meal, then putting on a great show - their hard work and enthusiasm is inspiring <3 I noticed their attention to detail in how smoothly the check-in, meal, and all the transitions went. Highly recommend!

海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止?かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした
映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す

We had a great day, our driver Humu was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained getting there and coming back to our pick up place he was right on time overall it was a great experience, didn’t care for the food that was available at pearl harbor , we went to the Arizona memorial I think we should have done both tours the Missouri as well maybe next time.

The show was very entertaining and the dinner buffet was amazing , the Island shows are very entertaining as well we had a remarkable time, the weather was very pleasant but the rain started right after the show was over and we got wet on our way to the bus, even that was a lot of fun .

My daughter and I had a great time climbing Diamond Head. We could go at our own pace which was awesome.
My daughter also left her hat on the van and they got back to me super quick when I emailed them and we just picked it up from their office. Fantastic customer service.
Highly recommend this tour.

Been wanting to do this for years
Got to see history in real life and see where all those men lived and worked
Photos of signing of surrender and military men of the past.
Even where a kamakize pilot flew into the ship and photos
Great adventure
Will recommend to my friends and family

Kilani, our bus driver, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor tour guide was also excellent and informative. It rained for a bit, but then stopped. The Missouri guide was excellent but only talked at the first two stops. I thought he would talk all through the tour. It probably would have been difficult to do with the narrow passageways though. I would suggest not bringing any kind of bag unless it is a see-through one because you can't take it inside the grounds - have to pay for a locker.
