Guests will appreciate a genuine reflection of Hawaii\u2019s rich history while enjoying an ocean view and sunset.\u00a0 Upon entering the luau we were amazed at the size of the beautiful grounds but felt right at home when presented with leis and drinks before being seated at out table.\u00a0 The layout is so organized that you would never feel crowded or overwhelmed by the number of guests seated each night.\u00a0 Reservations are a must as this luau sells out almost each and every night.\u00a0 The Old Lahaina Luau has won so many awards and remains a favorite of tourists returning to Maui year to year.<\/p>\n

The food is served buffet style and there was never a line!\u00a0 Guests are served table by table and the buffet was constantly full.\u00a0 Each table has a dedicated server who acts as host and explains what type of foods you can choose.\u00a0 Our host, Tim took excellent care of us and was a proud papa in letting us know that his daughter is a dancer in the show.\u00a0 Every Hawaiian dish including Lomi Lomi, Big Island Sweet Potatoes, Laulau (kalua pork wrapped in leaves) &\u00a0 Taro Rolls to name just a few of the choices.\u00a0 Everything I sampled was absolutely delicious and I tried almost everything!<\/p>\n

Upon sunset, the evening\u2019s main entertainment begins. The award-winning production tells the story of the Hawaiians. The Old Lahiana Luau is proud to present the Hula as it was meant to be performed with the respect and honor of their Ancestors. The story begins with the history of the Polynesian migration, then to the ancient Hawaiian Hula, followed by the evolution to a more contemporary style Hula. \u00a0\u00a0The entertainment was excellent and the dances moved at a fast pace with each costume changes more gorgeous than the next.\u00a0 The dancers are responsible for creating their own banana leaf skirts and traditional headpieces which only add authenticity to these dances, which tell stories.\u00a0 Adults from the young to the old and families with children love this experience.<\/p>\n
