Maui · MAUI LUAU SHOWS
One seating a night, a fixed menu and a price per head that surprises people. These 8 compare what the ticket includes, how far back the standard seats sit and which ones put the imu ceremony first.
Spend about three hours at the oceanfront Maui Nui Luau at Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa. You’ll receive a lei, watch the imu ceremony and Black Rock cliff dive, enjoy a self-service buffet with drinks, and see Hawaiian, Fijian, Samoan, and Tahitian performances.
“Wonderful show, great food, fresh leis. Experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended for a memorable family experience!”
Spend about three hours at Te Au Moana Luau beside the ocean at Wailea Beach Marriott. You’ll receive a lei or carved necklace, enjoy pre-show music, eat a three-course family-style Hawaiian meal, and watch dances from across Polynesia followed by a fire knife finale.
“We had a fantastic time at this luau. All of us enjoyed the food. They had plenty of main entree choices. Really delicious. The performance was very entertaining. The location was absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect the day we attended.”
Spend about three hours at Maui’s oceanfront Myths of Maui Luau. You’ll receive a shell lei, enjoy drinks and an all-you-can-eat island buffet, watch the imu ceremony, and see dances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zealand. VIP adds early entry, premium seating, and priority buffet access.
“This was my first time in Hawaii and first time at a Luau & I got to say this was a solid performance all around. Outstanding performers, staff are very helpful, & great food! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to experience a Luau!”
Spend about two to three hours at Gilligans’ Island Luau in Kihei, where Hawaiian, Tahitian, and New Zealand dances lead to a Samoan fire performance. Dinner, drinks, live music, and dessert are included. The smaller golf-club setting feels more personal than a giant resort show, but you will need to arrange your own transport.
“The food was very good. The show was ok but the location was a little small.........................”
Spend 150 minutes at Gilligans' Island Luau on Maui Nui Golf Course in Kihei. Expect a small, friendly venue, an all-you-can-eat Hawaiian buffet, open bar, live music, hula from Hawaii, New Zealand, and Tahiti, plus a blazing Samoan fire knife finale. Some audience members may join the show.
“Loved he dancers and musicians. Staff very friendly. Charlie was our waiter. So nice. Food was good . I think the entrance area could be greatly improved. Prettier, cleaner and Hawaiian decor . When you approach the waiting area we were questioning ourselves how the evening would go. The palm trees need pruning near the stage. Flowers!! But overall we had a great time. Two Adults and two children ages 10 and 11.”
At the Andaz Maui in Wailea, you’ll enjoy a 2.5-hour Hawaiian cultural evening by Mokapu Beach. Expect a three-course plated dinner, unlimited handcrafted cocktails, stories, music, hula, and fire dancing, with premium seating available for a closer stage view.
“Excellent entertainment, atmosphere and food. The view is spectacular and would definitely go again.”
Spend about three hours at the Wailele Luau beside Kaanapali Beach. You’ll receive a lei and welcome drink, enjoy a buffet with eight entrées, tropical drinks, live music, traditional dance, and a fire knife finale at the Westin Maui Resort. Hotel pickup is not included.
“Everyone very friendly food was good and unlimited drinks. And lots of shows and context explaining culture”
At the Andaz Maui Wailea, you’ll enjoy a three-hour, oceanfront luau with a traditional lei, plated three-course meal, open bar, hula, storytelling, and fire dancing. Chef Isaac Bancaco’s family-style menu replaces the usual buffet, while classic or premium seating lets you choose your view.
“Great show and food good. They forgot to wish my grandson happy birthday after we asked but he didn’t know. Wish would have had more things for kids to do besides the tattoo! Maybe lei making or hula. Very expensive but nicest in Wailea.”
Pick a harbour, a mountain road or a reef.
