The Toa Luau is a family-run and (relatively) small operation which operates in Waimea Valley on the North Shore. This means that, even thought they are a bit far from Honolulu, the setting of the show is gorgeous.
If you arrive early and bring your swimsuit you can even take a dip in the only lifeguarded waterfall on Oʻahu: the Waimea Falls.
