Hear From Our Guest

This experience is a MUST when visiting the island! So, I'm gonna start by saying that we definitely know our way around Oahu. We've visited half a dozen times and have friends who live on the island. All of this to say... we have NEVER experienced something like this! First of all, we felt really comfortable and safe, despite the fact that you're literally spinning a flaming knife in the air haha. But also, this experience really helped us understand the history and the culture of the fireknife dance. It's one thing to go to a luau and see a performance, it's another thing to know all of the history and heart that goes into the dance itself. We really appreciate the opportunity to experience the hawaiian culture and felt very invited into their world. Mahalo nui loa to the whole team!
