The only luau on Maui showcasing strictly Hawaiian music, dance, and food. Enjoy learning about Hawaiian history and culture along the ocean's edge, and gather around the 'Imu' (earth oven) as the kalua pig is unearthed. At sunset, the evening's main entertainment begins.

There are luaus everywhere you turn in Hawaii. The majority feature warriors who twirl fire and frightening men with long tongues who circulate throughout the crowd scaring the pants (or skirts) off guests. Unfortunately, these features, while Polynesian, are NOT HAWAIIAN! The Old Lahaina Luau - while sometime criticized for "no fire" is the most authentic Hawaiian luau a visitor...
We had experienced a luau during a previous visit to the islands - but not to the standards of the excellent Old Lahaina Luau. The meal and service were above and beyond and the setting sublime - right on the ocean toward the North end of Lahaina. There was a marvelous focus on Hawaiian history and culture from beginning to end, from the food preparation to the entertainment - which was impressive and lovely. Perfect for the whole family.
This luau is actually worth going to. The show tells the history and myth of Hawaii through traditional hula dancing. The dancers are extremely talented. It's not just a few people shaking their junk at you. They actually are serious hula dancers. They have an "open bar" and the food is decent. I would not say the food is the reason you go but at least it's good and there are plenty of choices. The give you a flower for your hair, a lei, and a mini banana bread to take home. We had a 13 year old and a four year old at our table and both were very into the performance. My one complaint is the wood carving artisans were hawking their wares in a real hard sell fashion. That was uncomfortable. That and you'll have to drive home with all the drunks from the "open bar".
This is considered the best luau on Maui, but you have to take everything in as a whole because the individual parts are all lacking somewhat, but altogether is an amazing experience. Would highly recommend to cap a vacation trip with this at the very end to end on a high note. You can buy seats at a shared table or sit on the ground at a shared table, they all seat about 8, so everyone shares unless your party is basically the whole table, and kids usually need to buy a seat. If you sit at a table you'll be better because sitting on the ground the whole time is uncomfortable for long periods. However, sitting at a ground table gives you a better view of the performance and gets to go to the buffet section first. The food is good, but not outstanding, you do get unlimited drinks of a lot of varieties. They have a lot of photographers on hand to sell you photos, but bring your own camera and ask one of the staff to take it for free, they're more than happy to. The show is great showing a history of hula on the islands and the dancers are available to take photos with after the end of the evening for free.
We were here during the first week of October. Our first Luau ever. We were not disappointed. Great assortment of food. We received a great deal through the resort I was staying at for this luau. They had a great show after the dinner but we kept waiting for the dancing with the fire. We were informed that the Polynesian luau does the dancing with fire. Attached are pics of the luau.
Absolutely the perfect Hawaiian experience. I thought it was pricey when I made the reservation, but it's actually well worth the money. I can't say enough about the food selection, beverages, service and fantastic entertainment. The fresh flower lei upon arrival was the perfect start.
Amazing experience! We did this the first night we arrived in Maui and we felt it got us in the spirit oh Hawaii. The food and drinks were great and we felt all the staff was top notch. It’s pricey but you get so much for the price. We would def do it again.
We have gone here both times we were in Maui. The food is great and the atmosphere is really nice also. The first time it was just my wife and I and the most recent we had her parents, sister and her husband and other sister and her boyfriend with us. They all enjoyed it, as did I. The show was consistent with what it was when we went a couple years prior. The drinks are good and bottomless so that's nice! It may be on the pricey side but if you are going to check out a luau, I suggest this one!
