Frequently asked questions

  • What is a Luau?

    Luau is a Polynesian party, traditionally celebrated in honor of a war victory, canoe launching or family event. With the rise of tourists choosing Hawaii and Maui as vacational destinations in the 1960s, luau became a popular tourist attraction and the locals shifted this tradition from a family-centered event to a party in which to show-off their culture, food, and music.

  • What is usually included in a traditional Luau?

    Luau is a display of Polynesian culture, showcasing dancing, telling tales, singing, and some of them will have particular shows such as the Samoan fire and knife show, the tale of the Princess Kalua, and others. Also, you will enjoy a buffet dinner of imu roasted kalua pig, chicken in taro leaves and coconut milk, Hawaiian-style salads and poi, and some experiences will include an open bar for you to sip on delicious cocktails and drinks.

  • What is the best Luau experience in Maui?

    Old Lahaina's luau party is known as the best of these feasts in the island, so you should probably check this one out. Visitors praise its cultural accuracy and overall quality of the performances, drinks and food, as well as the traditional imu (pig roasted in an underground oven).
