Unica & Lena were a pleasure to work with! They took on our last minute changes and we are so grateful! The food was awesome and our clients/tenants had nothing but great things to say. We used them for 3 of our tenant events ranging from 200-650 guests and they handled it perfectly! So thankful for the entire Kahula Voyage team! read more

A-maz-ing!! The dancers who came to my party were absolutely wonderful. First, making the call to make arrangements for 2 weeks out was no problem for this group. I requested 2 dancers and everything was no problem and Unica was able to accommodate my request. Day of the party...wow. The dancers were just great! We had such a wonderful time. I think that having these performers were the icing on the cake. Everyone loved the show and I would highly recommend them. Mahalo. I don't even have enough words to express how happy I am. Somehow I can't post the videos but would highly recommend this group. read more

We loved Kaula Voyage so much that I used them for two parties at our home. Unica is lovely to work with. She's very helpful and accommodating. I love that she arranges everything....from the food to the music, dancers, and even a Lei making station. The quality of the food is unexpectedly exceptional!!

I was on the fence about hiring entertainment, but I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome it would be to have Polynesian dancers for our backyard baby shower luau theme. I researched several companies with different price ranges and packages. I chose Kahula Voyage because their different packages were reasonably priced compared to others and they had great reviews. However, I was iffy though because they only had 33 reviews. I took a chance....... I have no regret hiring this company and would hire them again. We had approximately 60 to 70 guests from different ages 8 months to 70 years old and different groups of friends from work, childhood and neighbors. This is a great way to bring your guests together, to absolutely have an epic and definitely memorable moment. Package information is clearly available on their website, but Unica the owner was very cordial, personable and took the time to explain the standard package with fire dancer I was interested in. She answered all my questions and more. Just hearing her kind voice gives you a trusting feeling. Definitely hire the fire dancer, you and your guests will be WoWed. The dancers get your guests engaged and involved. We even had a lot of our male guests doing the hula. The dancers stayed after the performance and took pictures with our guests. Stop thinking about it and hire them already!!!!!!!! read more

Our retirement Luau was a memorable milestone made extra special by the amazing Kahula Voyage Luau, entertainment and catering company! This is the second time we have contracted with them and I will hire them over and over again for our entertainment and catering needs. Most importantly, before our event got going, we stopped and honored Maui in our heartfelt moment of silence. We continue to send our prayers. The team of dancers and greeters represented their love of the polynesian islands in their professionalism, kindness, dance and expression so beautifully that for a moment we felt we were in Hawaii. The costumes, choreography, music and narration captured the stories of the islands which touched our hearts. The show was truly an incredible interactive experience. Of course the extra treat was the fire dancer who left us all in absolute amazement! We added to our Luau celebration with catering as well. The set up of our buffet was beautifully decorated with orchids and other flowers and greenery which we all loved! The food was delicious, the Kahula Pig and BBQ chicken was so moist and perfectly seasoned. The salads and rice were all on point in terms of freshness, taste and layout. Their team of servers were courteous and eager to ensure everything was to our liking which it truly was! The team arrived organized and our kitchen remained organized when they left leaving tidy leftovers for those after party appetites! To say I was thrilled to have Kahula Voyage again is an understatement! Lena and her team of dancers and caterers were simply awesome and left us feeling we were part of their Ohana! THANK YOU for helping us kick off our retirement in a memorable epic fashion! Raquel & David read more

Extremely easy to work with and quick responses via phone call or text. Had a surprise 80th Luau bday party and we had to go with Kahula Voyage. Outstanding performances by the dancers that left the attendees in awe. Thank you again for making our party special with your presence. Aloha Going to be using their services again in the near future read more

From the communication and planning phase with Lena, to the execution on event day, Kahula Voyage delivered every step of the way. They put on an INCREDIBLE show that transported me to a luau in Hawaii. I swear, they gave me Paradise Cove/Germaine's Luau vibes, but here in Cali. I do not have enough words to express how happy I am to have booked Kahula Voyage for my client's luau -- and my client was beyond thrilled. Thank you Kahula Voyage for exceeding all expectations and making me look good. For anyone reading, do not sit on booking this group! I'm counting the days until I can book them again... read more

Thank you, Unica and her team for an amazing entertainment. Kahula Voyage was so easy to work with and very professional. Through telephone conversations and text messages, Unica helped us decide which packages would be a great fit for my daughter's birthday Luau theme at our home. We stayed in touch for weeks and she constantly would update me with who the performers will be and even sent pictures. On the day of the event, Athea was the MC and also one of the dancers. She and her dance partner had a great radiance of energy and were very engaging with the audience. I highly recommend Kahula Voyage and their team. We got so many compliments from our guest, especially my daughters can't stop talking about them. read more

Holy whole roast pig!! I hired Tausala Polynesia to cater my husband's 50th birthday party and the food was a hit with all the guests. The whole roast pig I ordered was the highlight of dinner. It may have been photographed more than my husband was that night! Not only did it look beautiful, it tasted delicious. The sound of the crunch as people bit into the crispy skin, followed by a satisfying "mmmm" was music to my ears. The fact that one guest who is really health conscience, continually went back to eat more pork skin throughout the entire night, is a testament to how delicious it was! But enough about the roast pig, the rest of the food was super yummy, too! Spam musubi, Chinese chicken salad, mac salad, chicken long rice, BBQ chicken, beef skewers, rice, Hawaiian rolls, and a fruit platter rounded out the menu. The BBQ chicken was moist and flavorful. I'm always a bit weary of catered chicken being dry but that definitely was not the case. The spam musubi were great! Not just your average spam, rice, and nori - not here! There was some delectable sauce that made the musubi totally mouthwatering. Even the fruit platter was fantastic. I know, how fantastic can fruit be? It was so colorful and beautifully displayed that it made the fruit very inviting to eat. This is coming from a non-fruit eater! Unica was great to work with. She is very sweet and accommodating! Her prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. She will be my go-to caterer from now on. If you are looking to cater Hawaiian food for your next event, I highly recommend Tausala Polynesia! read more

Blown away by TAUSALA POLYNESIA's customer service! With less than 24 hrs of needing a new Polynesian dancer to replace the horrible business I hired a month prior. Unica who is the owner of Tausala Polynesia, went above and beyond to accommodate my party and saved the day!!! Not only was she helpful, but she kept her word when she said she would do her best in finding someone for us at such a last minute notice. Cambria was the Polynesian Dancer who performed at my daughter's birthday party. She showed up on time, was professional, great at interacting and making the kids feel comfortable, danced (w/ costume change), and had a great performance. Everyone enjoyed and other islanders complimented on how great she was! We had kids rave weeks later about how much fun they had with the "hula girl." I completely recommend Tausala Polynesia for your parties. I've learned you get what you pay for, and if you search for someone cheaper... be prepared to be cancelled on or experience bad customer service. extra stars for Unica and her team at Tausala Polynesia!!!!! Thank you for a memorable island theme party read more

I am so mad at myself for taking so long to write a review . I have really been wanting to share with you all how amazing única and her company are . My husband and I absolutely love Hawaii and decided to throw our daughters first party a luau theme . When i started browsing around for luau dancers it became so confusing to me . But when I came across Única , she answered all my questions so effortlessly and quickly and took her time explaining everything to me. We have been to Hawaii about 6 times and have been to many Luaus so it was no question that I wanted an amazing show . That's exactly what they gave us . They're are extremely talented and profesional and the fire show was amazing . Left all my guest talking about it . Thank you guys so much . Will definitely be calling you guys again !

Kahula Voyage performed for my Hawaiian Luau Retirement Party. They were outstanding. They were prompt and on time before the said time. I was the one running behind and they took charge and started the show when it was time. I was already pleased starting with the lei greeters to the female dancers ending with the male dancer with fire. My guests were thoroughly entertained and were completely impressed with the dancing, movements, music, costumes and of course the fire. The price was excellent for the show I received. Thank you tremendously Unica for making my celebration an unforgettable event. read more

Excellent performance and professional. Everyone feel Hawaii's spirits and we all have so much fun

Beautiful, talented Unica and her team MADE our Luau celebration a smash hit! From the beginning her communication was clear and friendly, she worked with me to sort out a plan and budget that would really make my fiance's 40th birthday party something special. Just before and during dinner service, we were treated to dances from multiple islands, with intros about the regions and customs. The interactive show was so much fun, to see grown men and little kids shake their hips was hilarious! For a little extra wow, the fire show is worth the bang for your buck for sure!! read more

Two words: amazingly authentic. We hired Tausala Polynesia to handle both the catering and entertainment for a backyard party we planned. The food was delicious and fresh. The entertainment portion was incredible! Authentic, fun, skillfully done - it was definitely the highlight of the party. There were dances from different islands, which were all performed well. The show stopper that capped the performance were the Fire Dancers. They were simply stunning! We highly recommend Tausala Polynesia for anyone that wants to add pazzaz to their next event! read more

Of I could give more stars I promise I would beyond blown away with everything. The food was beyond all our expectations and so so much flavor in everything. All my picky family was so impressed and ate every bite even my son who eats a very small amount of things mostly chicken and potatoes he had seconds. The entertainment was so well put together and beautiful even all the kids were in their seats not playing video games and loved it. My niece who is there kept saying auntie it's Moans and Maui.

We hired Tausala Polynesia for our client event and all of our guests throughly enjoyed the performance. Unica, the main person of contact for the group, was very easy to work with and worked well with our budget. Their show was very entertaining and the audience participation was a huge success. Things were a little chaotic during set up because they arrived a little late due to traffic(understandable in the OC), but they were able to set up quickly and made up for lost time. If we have another Hawaiian event, we'd definitely hire them again. Thanks again! read more

Unica and her team at Tausala Polynesia is the best entertainment we have had at any of our community events. We loved every moment of the show, the interaction with the audience and teaching us some amazing dance moves. The fire dancing portion of the show is the BEST!!!!!!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed having them at our event and can not wait to have them come to an event in the future. Highly Highly recommend! read more

Authentic Polynesian dance company that delivers the true spirit of the islands as they take you though a voyage through the pacific. We hired Tausala Polynesia for our grand opening event of our restaurant and they delivered an incredible show. Beautiful professional dancers and legit show from start to finish. The show also included audience engagement and participation. We ended with a fire dance and it was absolutely incredible. I was born and raised in Hawaii and grew up watching many luaus throughout my life. Tausala Polynesia delivers a top quality authentic Polynesian show that will sweep you away and leave you dreaming of the islands. 5 stars all the way. I highly recommend this dance company if you want the real thing. I look forward to having another event and bringing them back for more. Aloha! read more

We hired Tausala Polynesia for our most recent Luxury Home Sunset Showcase to do both the catering and the entertainment. Throughout the process of planning, Unica was incredibly friendly, punctual, and helpful. Whenever we had a question, we would call or text her and she would respond right away with a helpful and caring response. It was evident that she cared about our event as much as we did, and we really appreciated that! The food was over-the-top amazing. Unica helped us put together the most perfect menu including pulled pork, pineapple meatballs, macaroni salad, and other Polynesian food. The meatballs were our personal favorite! Whereas it was a high-end event, she helped us choose displays that fit the luxury environment. An musician played Polynesian music at the beginning of our event. We also had the luau and fire dancers! Between the phenomenal dancing and music (plus the fire!), it was an amazing show! The audience was in awe the entire time! The staff and dancers were all wonderful as well! They worked diligently on food prep, passing hor d'oeuvres, prepping for dancing, and generally just always being there to help with whatever we needed! Additionally, they were so personable and friendly, which made them an absolute please to work with! We would highly recommend Tausala Polynesia to anyone who is looking for a high quality entertainer and caterer! read more

The 1 star is for the food and for having gloves on. The event we had was for my niece's 1st birthday. It starts at 12-4 but we've scheduled to come together at 11 to prep. They came strolling in way past 12, we already had some guests arrive, having travelled from Lake Elsinore and also some from San Diego, so they have been waiting for a long minute. Given that our family throwing the party were still getting stuff ready, they came in with this negative energy you can immediately sense right when they went through the doors. The guy helping her brought in a boxed container, literally making a bang & dropping it on the floor. He was acting really grumpy and pissed. We were already displeased because they came way late than expected but to be greeted with this type of attitude is really unacceptable. The girl, instead of being apologetic & apologizing, followed suit. My mom said we have guests here who have been waiting. Yes, granted that the place isn't filled to the brim, but she had the nerve to ask, "where are your guests?" I had to butt in and said, "it doesn't matter whether 1 guest shows up or 200, the point is the food had to be at a certain place at a certain time!" Well, somewhere along those lines. It's not the volume but the principle of keeping the stipulations of the contract. Prior to this, the dad of my niece had dropped $300 as a security deposit since he was asked that, even before the contract was given. Later on the contract, it said just $50 was needed for it, so considering he's given what was asked way more than what's required should have given us some sort of a better customer service experience. But no, we were made to feel like we were an interruption to their business, saying they have other clients. And what were we? Pissed clients, that's what. Anyway, back to the event, she went on to say she'll just take back the food and she'll return the money, even suggested to order from L&L. Seriously? When you've been expected to come sooner and you're strolling in so late, with the guests getting hangry?! This is how you conduct your business? If I could have had a minute to discuss with everyone, we would've agreed and have them take back all the food they've prepared. She continued to say they worked all night to cook everything, that you can't rush food, etc. I'd say that that is part of the business you took on, who would expect any less? If you needed more hands to get the job done, you should have gotten it, instead of telling us you slaved away last night, as if it was our choice! She bragged about having 5 star reviews with all her clients and never had a treatment like this. If you didn't bite off more than you can chew, you wouldn't be going through this and putting other people's special day and event through such a horrible experience. Prepping got me back to being busy and so my focus was half into it by now, until I had to get something from the car. On my way out, I had a brief talk with her to ask where she was traveling from, hoping to hear from afar, just so I can tell her that I understood. She said they just came from down the street. "Whaaat?! Omg, it's ridiculous," I thought to myself. She said the guy left her or something, I tried to be helpful and make sure food gets served ASAP. I went to see if there are any more stuff that needed to get out of the van. The guy comes from out of nowhere, sounded like he was talking loudly with my niece's dad. "I'm not getting paid for this, bro!" And some other grumbling, complaining remarks. This has got to be the worst customer service I have ever encountered. Even not from that perspective but maybe if they were family as well, oh, he would've heard a mouthful! You're a grown man but with an attitude of a 5 year old! Nonetheless, the event had to push through, we had to take this all in, so we went on with it & just worked as best as possible without blowing up. More guests were arriving and the food was still not ready. 1, almost 2 was rolling around & that's when we were finally able to bless the food and have guests serve themselves. Would I give them another chance? Not if they came to us humbly and asked to. For me to go out of my way to ever rely and trusting them again, never. I would NOT recommend having them. If I hear someone considering them at another event, I'd definitely share with them my experience just so they have a more level-headed conversation when dealing, perhaps have a much lesser & more reasonable price tag. Who would want to pay a high price for a poor attitude? read more

Part of my job is to "make memories" for the children I serve. Unica and her team came and showed my kids an experience that they may never find the equal of. The show was everything we could've hoped for and more. The interaction with some shy (and not-so-shy) middle school students was amazing. Even in moments when the kids didn't quite understand what was happening (there was quite a bit of nervous laughter during the haka), eventually there were smiles and appreciation all around. Throughout Polynesia there is the concept of mana. There were moments that the power of their performance crossed all boundaries and everyone in the audience could not but recognize the special moment they were witnessing. The spirit of aloha informed everything these folks did: smiles and graciousness (even in the face of a few electronic/sound difficulties that were not their fault!) came naturally to all of the performers. They left an impression on me and I know they left an impression on my kids. Thank you to the Tausala Polynesia crew for a memorable morning! read more
