Toa Luau - Evening Show
Experience a traditional Hawaiian luau on Oahu's scenic North Shore. Held at a beautiful botanical garden within Waimea Valley, Toa Luau invites you to a delicious buffet dinner followed by Hawaiian entertainment. What makes this luau unique on the island is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. Arrive early before the luau and walk through the garden, visit several ancient sites and enjoy the view of the beautiful Waimea waterfall. 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.

Can I visit Waimea Falls before attending Toa Luau?
Yes, admission to Waimea Valley is included, and you may explore its botanical gardens and follow the paved 1.5-mile roundtrip path to Waimea Falls before the luau. Allow at least two to three hours for the valley visit, and remember that swimming at the waterfall depends on daily waterfall conditions. You can also 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.
What happens if it rains during Toa Luau?
The luau can continue under a spacious covered pavilion. Weather may affect access to the botanical garden, waterfall or swimming area, but it does not normally cancel the dinner and Polynesian show.
