Maui Luau FAQs
What Can I Expect To See At A Luau Show?
A luau is a feast accompanied by entertainment. Traditional luau dishes include Kalua pig, poi, poke, lomi lomi salmon, teriyaki chicken, mahi mahi and Mai Tai’s or beer. Entertainment includes Hawaiian music and hula dancing. Some luaus include Hawaiian games and arts and crafts.
What Is The Best Luau In Maui?
The highest-rated luaus on Maui are The Old Lahaina Luau and the Royal Lahaina Resort Luau. All these luaus are on the West side of Maui but there are many excellent luaus across the island including in Kihei and at the Grand Wailea Luau overlooking Wailea beach on the south side of Maui.
How Old Is The Tradition Of Holding A Luau Feast?
Feasts and celebrations in the Hawaiian culture date back to ancient times but the type of luaus today date back to 1819. When Kamehameha (the Kingdom of Hawaii’s first king) died his wife Kaahumanu and son Kamehameha II abolished the Kapu system of laws which forbid women eating with men. From this time on men and women feasted together.
What Types Of Shows Are Available In Maui?
We have a wide variety of shows available on the island. From local performances at the Iao Theatre, Friday town parties and at most of the major resorts. For concerts and film festivals the Maui Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) is where local, national and international entertainers perform throughout the year.
Are There Any Safety Concerns To Be Aware Of When Visiting The Park?
Visitors should take care when hiking or participating in other outdoor activities in the park, and should always stay on designated trails and watch for hazardous conditions such as uneven terrain or loose rocks. Visitors should also be aware of changing weather conditions, which can be unpredictable at the summit of Haleakalā.
