Sunset Scenery
The stunning west side of Maui offers the best Hawaiian sunset view. Take epic photos and enjoy oranges, reds, and pinks with silhouettes of palm trees dancing in the tropical breeze as the sun settles in for the night. Watch the sun sink into the ocean as the tiki torches are lit and the food and drink service begins. Out of all the places to attend a Hawaiian Lūʻau, Lāhainā, Maui does not disappoint.
Come Hungry
Due to current guidelines, the buffet option has been replaced with a taste of EVERYTHING delivered right to your table. This authentic Hawaiian Lūʻau starts with crispy kalo (taro) and sweet potato chips and flavorful Ulu hummus to dip them in. For a sweet palate cleanser, try the silky coconut haupia and sweet kūlolo.
Next, enjoy a fresh pohole salad with a breadbasket and honey-guava butter to slather it with. Diving in for an ono taste of Hawaiian food, you’ll get a sample of the kālua pig roasted underground in an imu among hot stones, lau lau (bundles of pork and taro leaves), fresh ʻahi poke, and salty lomilomi salmon that goes perfectly with freshly pounded poi
The food keeps coming with the main courses—samples of steak, chicken, fish, and veggies with an island twist. A sweet potato mash and poi round out the meal at the Hawaiian Lūʻau with the most generous servings.
After some unmatched entertainment and storytelling, enjoy coffee and/or tea with our Pineapple Delight. House-made pineapple sponge cake, toasted meringue, garnished with a chocolate Hawaiian petroglyph.
Drinks are free-flowing throughout the night for guests 21+, with valid photo ID. We can accommodate requests for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free meals. No substitutions. 24-hours advance notice, prior to the scheduled lu’au date is required. We are unable to guarantee any request.
Experience Hawaiian Culture
Feel the beat of the pahu, the Hawaiian drums, through your body as the stage entertainment begins and the story of Hawaii is told through dance. This musical and mystical performance begins with early migration to the islands. The story continues with ancient hula and chants to communicate with the gods in the heavens. The next intricate dance tells of the missionaries and celebrates the influential King Kalākaua. The final dance is inspired by the new waves of tourism and immigrants to the Hawaiian islands. The costumes in each dance are detailed, beautiful, and accentuate the graceful movements of the best hula dancers on Maui. Old Lāhainā Lūʻau is known for having some of the most talented entertainers on the island.
