Review of Kauai’s Luau Kalamaku, with buffet dinner, open bar, fire dancers, plantation train option, pricing, timing, and booking advice.
“Very well organized with excellent service. The staff did exceptionally well keeping things moving and considering the number of customers, no small feat. The entertainment was lovely and in more story form than I've seen in the past so nice change. Food was good but typical of a luau. Huge selection so you can't go hungry! There other opportunities to check out more about the plantation itself and it's past history which to me, is a must. All in all, great experience!”
