Your Guide has enjoyed this luau three times - once at it's original location and twice at it's new beautiful and spacious location. I can attest that this is, by far, the best luau that you will find anywhere in the islands. It offers the most delicious and authentic food and the most well-produced and choreographed entertainment. If you only attend one luau while you're in Hawaii, be sure to attend the Old Lahaina Luau on Maui.

Entertainment
Upon sunset, the evening’s main entertainment begins. This award winning production tells the story of the Hawaiians. We are proud to present the Hula as it was meant to be performed with love and reverence. Beginning with the roots of migration, to the Kahiko, then finally the more contemporary style Hula.
- Otea - Our program begins with the early migration of the Polynesians across the Pacific to the "new islands" of Hawaii.
- Kahiko - The ancient Hula was a way of communicating with the Gods. It is accompanied by chanting, and traditional implements and is performed with respect for our ancestors.
- Missionaries and the Merrie Monarch - The missionaries brought many changes. We present Hula depicting this era as well as celebrating King Kalakaua.
- Auana - The modern Hula was influenced by immigrants and tourism. Hula dancers tell their stories through their graceful moves, subtle eyes and lovely hula hands.
