Lū‘au

Are you really going to visit Hawai‘i and not go to a lū‘au? Expect a lively celebration of food, entertainment and lesson about Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures at this event. Indulge in a magnificent Hawaiian feast of kālua pig (pork cooked in a traditional pit oven), laulau (seasoned pork and fish wrapped in taro leaves and steamed in ti leaves) and poi (Hawaiian staple made of pounded taro). Open your eyes, ears and stomach to all that Hawai‘i has to share!

A lū‘au is a Hawaiian feast with an abundance of food and continuous entertainment. When visiting Hawai‘i, attending a lū‘au is a must! Be very careful about which lū‘au you select, as most are Polynesian dinner shows that showcase many different Pacific island dances. There is one show in Hawai‘i that showcases the Hawaiian culture in an authentic presentation: the Old Lāhainā Lū‘au!

From the moment of arrival, the Hawaiian culture is shared through interactive stations, delicious cultural food presentations, and of course, the award-winning show! Every guest is greeted with a fresh flower lei, can interact with woodcarving masters and view their artwork, learn about how Hawaiians cooked in the imu, and taste various traditional dishes like raw fish, cooked pork, steamed laulau, and nutritious poi, and other delicacies of the Pacific Rim.

The show is a genuine presentation of Hawai‘i’s saga, beginning with the migration of the first Hawaiians from Tahiti, through history up to modern day through chant, song, dance, and storytelling, as knowledge was passed down orally for over a thousand years. Please be aware that because it is Samoan, and not Hawaiian, the fire knife dance is not performed at the Old Lāhainā Lū‘au.

Set in an outdoor, oceanfront setting on the beach in Lāhainā, Maui, this incomparable feast is available seven nights a week! Many visitors come to Hawai‘i to experience the unique and rich host culture—the authenticity which is shared at the Old Lāhainā Lū‘au has been performed for over 37 years on Maui, and gets better every year!
