Why do travelers choose this tour?

The Old Lahaina Luau is the best luau in Maui, and continues to get five stars and top rankings across a variety of online travel and review websites from Yelp to Tripadvisor. Not only is the Old Lahaina Luau top rated, but it has also won a number of awards due to their celebration of Hawaiian food and culture.

This is Hawaii’s most authentic luau from the deliciously crafted dinner that highlights Hawaiian cuisine, to the performances featuring hula dancers and music by local artists, it is truly an authentic Hawaiian evening. Guests even have the option of sitting on traditional floor mats, just like the luaus that were held for Hawaiian royalty and celebrations.

You can enjoy Maui’s most popular luau as long as you book in advance since it is normally sold out months in advance. Guests from around the world flock to the Old Lahaina Luau since it offers a unique luau experience unlike any other in Hawaii. With their award-winning cuisine and authentic Hawaiian performances, this dinner and show are perfect for both first timers and returning luau goers.

Most luau in Hawaii have large capacities that can range from 500 to over 2,000 participants, but the Old Lahaina Luau has a limit of 340 guests and has a staff of 200 employees on hand to ensure that each guest gets exceptional service and attention.

What is the difference between the packages?

There are two seating options available, traditional ground seating and table and chair seating.

Traditional seating package: Sit on cushions on the ground at a low-level table located in front of the performance area. This seating arrangement has traditionally been used throughout Hawaii for luaus, festivities, and more. Although these seats are closest to the stage, it is not recommended for those with back or leg issues since you will need to have your legs crossed throughout the evening.
Table and chair package: Comfortable chairs and tables are located behind the traditional ground seating, and offer a clear view of the stage no matter where you are seated. The luau grounds are raised on tiers, and the last row is only 40 feet away from the stage so you will be sure to have an amazing view no matter where you are seated.

Local expert tips

This activity is incredibly popular, and is normally sold out three to four months in advance. We highly suggest booking as soon as possible so you do not miss out on this incredible opportunity.
The show is wheelchair accessible, and you will need to book table & chair seating
The show and setting are appropriate for everyone from honeymooning couples to groups of families and friends, but it is not the most recommended for young children as there are no pre-luau activities for them to enjoy.
Please keep in mind that, unlike other luaus, the Old Lahaina Luau solely features Hawaiian culture so there will not be a fire knife performance since that is the cultural dance of Samoa.
Recommend attire: Resort casual or Aloha wear, with a light jacket or sweater. Flat shoes are a better option than high heeled shoes since the grounds are uneven with grass.
Parties of 15 or more are subject to an automatic gratuity, and a 16% service charge will be added.

Luau Show

The Old Lahaina Luau is the only luau on Maui to exclusively share the stories of Hawaiians, and present hula as it is meant to be performed with respect and honor to Hawaiian ancestors and traditions. While other luaus have performances from other Polynesian cultures, the Old Lahaina Luau focuses on Hawaiian stories, music, and dance. Watch as you see the evolution of hula from its ancient roots to its modern performances.

How to get there?

Old Lahaina Luau is located on Front Street, Lahaina’s main street. Arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to park right by the entrance or one the friendly staff attendants will send you to additional free parking across the street at the Lahaina Cannery Mall.

Unique Hawaiian History & Culture

One aspect of any luau that everyone often looks forward to are the hula performances. Hula is an ancient tradition of storytelling that began hundreds of years ago as a way of both honoring the gods of Hawaii, and a way to preserve the stories and myths surrounding them. Hawaii luau music is now accompanied by both ancient (kahiko) and modern (auana) hula, and both offer a look into Hawaiian culture and history.

Kahiko, or traditional Hawaiian hula, is normally accompanied by a thudding drumbeat of a gourd drum, whereas auana, or modern hula, is a recent Hawaii dance form set to the sound of the ukulele and the Hawaiian slack-key guitar. On your next visit to a Hawaiian luau, be sure to take the opportunity to learn a dance, and always watch the hands and it is the hands of a hula dancer that will tell you the story.
