General Seating

General Seating lasts about 180.

There is no minimum age for General Seating, so all ages are welcome.

General Seating meets at Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa - Luau Registration Desk in the lobby.

General Seating includes Lunch.

The luau runs from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, giving you a full three hours of entertainment and dining. It is held on Mondays and Wednesdays, so plan your stay on the Big Island accordingly to catch an available date. The evening is timed around the sunset over 'Anaeho'omalu Bay, pairing the natural setting with live music, traditional South Pacific dances, and a contemporary Hawaiian menu served alongside a full open bar. Arriving at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa at or before 5:00pm is the best way to settle in before the show begins.

Guests at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Sunset Luau can expect classic Polynesian entertainment featuring live music and traditional dances of the South Pacific alongside a full open bar. The dining selection includes a mix of contemporary and Hawaiian fare, giving the evening a well-rounded cultural and culinary feel. The full menu is available to review before booking through the luau menu link on the tour page, so you can get a clear sense of the food offerings ahead of time. The open bar is included as part of the general seating experience, making the pricing more straightforward for groups planning the evening together.

General seating starts at $179.14 per adult plus taxes and fees, with several discounted pricing tiers available depending on your group. Children ages 6 to 12 are priced at $90.99, and children 5 and under attend free of charge. Kamaaina and military guests receive a reduced adult rate of $143.32, with a corresponding child rate of $72.79 for ages 6 to 12. These pricing options make the luau more accessible for local residents and military families while keeping the same general seating experience at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa.

You can receive a full refund or credit if you cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled luau date. Cancellations made with less notice, or no-shows and no-calls on the day of the event, will be charged the full ticket price with no refund issued. If the operator cancels the entire venue dinner and show due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances before it begins, guests receive a full refund. If weather or other circumstances interrupt the show partially after it has started, guests will receive a credit rather than a cash refund, so it is worth keeping that distinction in mind when booking.

The luau is held at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa, located in Waikoloa Village on the Big Island's Kohala Coast. The setting overlooks 'Anaeho'omalu Bay, where the sunset serves as a natural backdrop for the evening's entertainment. Waikoloa Village is on the dry western side of the Big Island, which is a popular base for visitors exploring the Kohala Coast. Confirming your exact check-in location with the resort ahead of your Monday or Wednesday booking date will help ensure a smooth arrival at the venue by the 5:00pm start time.
