Old Lahaina Luau is one of Maui’s most beloved evenings, welcoming guests into a rustic oceanfront setting inspired by an old Hawaiian fishing village. Known for its strong focus on Hawaiian culture, the luau brings together traditional cuisine, music, dance and island crafts in a warm celebration beside the sea.
The evening begins with a fresh flower lei and a welcome drink, followed by cultural demonstrations that introduce guests to Hawaiian traditions before dinner. As the sun lowers over the water, everyone gathers for a generous feast featuring classic dishes prepared with island ingredients and time-honored flavors.
After dinner, music and dance carry the story of Hawaii across the stage. The carefully produced performance celebrates the islands through hula, chant and song, creating an experience that feels thoughtful, graceful and deeply connected to place.
Old Lahaina Luau is extremely popular and often sells out weeks in advance. Seating is reserved and prioritized according to the date the reservation is confirmed. Guests may choose traditional Hawaiian mat seating or standard tables and chairs.
