I was really looking forward to the show, and I think it would have been great if we’d had seats in the middle of the audience. The dancing was fantastic, but from my seat it felt a bit like watching from backstage — the audience wraps around the stage, and the performers faced forward almost the entire time, so we mostly saw their sides or backs. It didn’t really feel like they were performing for us.
Across my family, opinions of the show improved steadily the more central the seat. The further to the sides you were, the less engaging it felt. I also noticed that people seated even further to the side weren’t clapping much, which says a lot.
The main fire performance at the end looked like it could’ve been amazing, but from our angle we only saw fire lines — not the dramatic fire rings — since the performer faced the centre the entire time.
The daytime shows around the park are fantastic and feel much more inclusive. If you can only get side seats for the main show, honestly, those park performances might be a...
Read moreThe Ha Breath of Life snow was amazing! We sat front row for my son who can’t see very well let me tell you... I’m sooo glad that we did. Best seats in the house! Before the show they have ate attendants that bring around sherbet rice cream with fruit for $5. Some might say it’s a total tourist trap, but it actually made for a really good pre-show cool down.

Read moreThis is a nice show. I went here while visiting Hawaii and was satisfied with my experience. This show is about two people who fall in love and have a child, and it’s divided into multiple scenes, one for each main Polynesian island. Each scene features a traditional dance from the island it’s named after. These dances are large, elaborate, and very well choreographed. There are also multiple parts where it’s completely dark and fire twirlers throw batons with fire on each end to each other. The ending of the show was great. I gave this show five stars because it has a great ending, great dances, good plot, and excellent fire twirlers. The narration of the story is in Hawaiian, but the show was so good that I was still invested in its plot and on the edge of my seat despite not understanding what they...
