    Entertainment:
    • Upon sunset, the evening’s main entertainment begins. Our award-winning production tells the story of the Hawaiians. We are proud to present the Hula as it was meant to be performed with the respect and honor of our Ancestors. Beginning with the history of the Polynesian migration, then to the ancient Hawaiian Hula, followed by the evolution to a more contemporary style Hula.
    ~ Ote'a- 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.

    Reviews – From Maui to New York City

    “Best Lu'au. Once again, five-time winner Old Lähaina Lu'au danced the hula past the other
    contenders. Guests relax under stately palms with views of boats and neighboring islands as a
    backdrop. Tiki torches light the way, thatched roofs take one back in time, and you may even sit
    on the ground on mats for traditional Lüÿau dining. The Old Lähaina Lu'au takes great pride in
    presenting an authentic evening of traditional Hawaiian food, music, dance and crafts. The
    evening reflects with taste and tradition the rich culture and history of the Hawaiian Islands”.
    Maui News Reader’s Survey

    “The Best Activity category focused on a favorite outing or activity for visitors and Kama`aina
    alike. Old Lähaina Lu'au scored high with twice as many votes. Readers recognize Old Lähaina
    Lu'au warm Hawaiian atmosphere, tasty cuisine and cultural significance as a winner.
    Maui Time, Best of Maui, Reader’s Poll

    “With an award-winning show and a spread to make even the mightiest Alii quiver, it’s clear why
    you voted Old Lahaina Luau as one of the best”
    Hawaii Magazine, Best of Hawaii, Reader’s Survey

    “Its authenticity, intimacy, hospitality, cultural integrity, and sheer romantic beauty have made
    this Maui’s top Lu'au. Old Lähaina Lu'au staff, location, educational acuity, and quality of food
    and entertainment make it a Lu'au to which visitors return time and time again. Flickering
    torches, surreal sunsets, old milo and coconut trees, cultural sensitivity, romance and genuine
    hospitality – these are the elements we can count on with the Old Lähaina Lu'au.”
    Frommer’s Guide to Maui

    “This is the best Lu'au you’ll find in Maui. It’s small, personal, and authentic. It feels like an old
    seaside village. In addition to fresh fish and grilled steak, you’ll get all-you-can-eat traditional
    Lu'au fare…Then there’s the entertainment, featuring a musical journey from old Hawaii to the
    present with hula dancing, chanting, and singing.
    Fodor’s Maui and Lanai

    “This is our favorite Lu'au in all of Hawaii. Everything about it comes together just right, and it’s
    as authentic as they come. The Lu'au feast and traditional entertainment both serve as a
    wonderful introduction to real island culture, and they’re both terrific. Don’t mistake this for a
    deadly dull history lesson – its riveting entertainment and the performers are first-rate. The food
    is excellently prepared and well labeled (so you know what you’re eating).”
    Complete Idiot’s Travel Guide to Hawaii

    “The Old Lähaina Lu'au has reinvented itself authentically in a genre rife with cliché. At sunset,
    guests sit at tables or on lauhala fiber mats on the ground in front of a grass-mound stage. The
    program offers intelligent narration and excellent ancient hula. The food is authentic Hawaiian,
    and delicious.”
