Huaka’i Maui Luau- Journey Through Polynesia

Hawaiian Buffet and Show
  • Complimentary Mai Tai and Juice
  • Lei Greeting
  • Hawaiian Crafts
  • Fire Knife Dance
  • Cultural Dances and Music of Hawaii and Polynesia
Being the most isolated islands in the world, Hawaii lies in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  With our warm tropical climate, beautiful tropical flowers, serene sandy beaches, and intriguing culture, Hawaii surely is the pearl of the Pacific.  Let us share with you Momi ‘O Ka Pakipika, Hawaii the pearl of the Pacific through the music and story of Huaka'i, Journey Through Polynesia.  

Ke Kani Malie means the Gentle Sound.  This refers to the gentle sounds of our ‘Aina and the elements that surround it reminding us that our Kupuna (ancestors) have paved a cultural path for us and our future as Hawaiian people.  It is our kuleana (responsibility) to perpetuate this culture and share our knowledge so that the ways of our Kupuna are never forgotten.  
 
“The voices of our ancestors are ringing, telling us stories of old Hawaii.  You can feel it in the wind, and hear it in the rain.  You can hear it in the beat of the Pahu.  Ke Kani Malie is our canoe.  Our ancestors will guide us as a family through this cultural journey.  We will teach our keiki, and strive to live like our Kupuna.  EO e Ke Kani Malie.”

We chose this show for the savings we received for our family. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the show. This is not a high dollar production like some of the others. But I loved that it is a family-run show. The mom and dad came onstage to tell their story and introduce the 6 kids. They all take part in the show. We liked the story and hulas for all the different islands of Polynesia. It was lovely!! Tips: line up early to score a shady spot. The line forms on the sidewalk across from the valet stand and the circular sidewalk. They should offer cold water while you are waiting!! Bring sunglasses in case you are facing the sun. It is bright until sunset

I've been to several luaus, including a Mauri variation in New Zealand. Generally, I find them a bit cheesy and the food a bit lacking. However, the Hauka'i Luau really was a pleasure. First, we had great seats right next to the action. The food was quite good and a band played while we ate. Then the entertainment started. They had different hula styles and explained how they differed by Polynesian island. We were staying at the Kaanapali Beach Club so the luau was on property and very convenient.
