Toa Luau - Waimea Valley
Savor local island dishes, watch or take part in Hawaiian cultural activities and enjoy live island-style entertainment in one memorable evening on Oahu’s north shore. Toa Luau takes place at the Waimea Valley botanical garden and is one of the island’s best luaus that includes a delicious luau buffet dinner. It’s a great way to spend an evening in paradise.
Your Toa Luau reservation also includes admission to the botanical garden at Waimea Valley. Plan to arrive a bit earlier in the day if you would like to enjoy a stroll through the garden, which is home to historical sites and a beautiful waterfall, where you can enjoy a swim if the weather permits.
Alternatively, you can use your Waimea Valley access pass on another day
of your choice during the week before or the week after your luau. Just
remember, it's valid for a single garden entry only.
