BEST LUAU IN HONOLULU, HI.....I would recommend paying extra for the Royal Section. You will not be disappointed....I visited the luau in April 2017. I would try to check the weather several days before booking, so you may have a good chance at having nice weather. When we went there was close to 500 people. People are seated on picnic tables, so I would recommend spending the extra money to get a close up seat as the picnic tables are not on any type of hill. It would be of benefit if the area for viewing had various levels of elevation so that people further back could get better viewing.
