Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Handicap Accessible?

Yes, the Hilton Waikoloa is completely wheelchair accessible to best support your needs, and allow the optimal luau experience.
Is There Parking Available At The Hilton Waikoloa Village?

Hilton Waikoloa Village offers self-parking for $30, or $37 for valet, plus a tip. Please be aware that the self-parking area does have a longer, up-hill, walk to get to the hotel.
What Is A Mai Tai Drink?

A Mai Tai is a traditional Polynesian alcoholic drink that is made with rum, Curaçao liqueur, lime juice, and orgeat syrup. Being a citrusy drink that is fairly tart, and not too sweet, many find it a very refreshing option. We also offer a non-alcoholic fruit punch as well.
Do I Need To Bring Money To The Luau?

Having some cash on hand is great as you may want to tip your servers or bartenders. Some luaus have local artisans with Hawaiian gifts and crafts. Most luaus also offer photos of you taken as you enter the grounds for sale as a keepsake.
Are Cameras And Video Allowed At A Luau?

Yes. For certain portions of the show they may ask you to refrain from using a flash for the safety of the performers. Bring a fast (low f stop) lens for low light photography.
What Is Poi And Should I Eat It?

Poi is made from the taro root which is cooked and pounded into a paste. It is a super food and has been a staple of the Polynesian people for centuries. It may seem bland at first but it is quite good especially if mixed with lomi lomi salmon, pineapple or smoked fish (a local favorite combo).
How Long Does A Luau Last?

It depends on which luau you choose but most start around 5pm and end sometime around 7:30 to 9 pm.
What is the difference between the General and the Premium Luau Package?

The luaus in Hawaii tend to be big events and it attracts a lot of guests to each show. The premium tickets allow for better seating, closer to the stage. The upgraded ticket provides guests less of a wait time in the buffet line as that seating section will go before General seating. Both General and Premium Seating include: unlimited beverages, full dinner service, tickets to the show and self-parking.
Where is the Legends of Hawaii luau located?

This luau grounds is located on the south side of Hilton Waikoloa Village. You can take the tram to the very end of the line, then it's a short walk from there.
