We were treated to a beautiful evening as far as the weather goes and were very excited about this Luau, but ended up being very disappointed. The food was a buffet style and wasn't very good or creative. The service was spotty as we sat at a large table with strangers (emphasise on strange)! Also, they promote the open bar... More

Excellent for entertainment and an experience. The cocktails were more sugar than alcohol. More

Liked all you can drink drinks, sunset right beside you, all the different outfits of the dancers. Everyone dressed up so it was really an occasion. Cost me a bit $99, but quite high quality :) More

Llocation very appropriate for a Luau. Greeted with a lei and a Mai Tai. Several cultual demonstrations on grounds before the meal. Food was good. The show was okay but I had seen another show that I liked better. Given small loaf of banana nut bread when leaving. Felt we got our moneys worth. More

This was our 3rd visit to the Old Lahaina Luau, and have enjoyed each visit. The food is plentiful and delicious - HIGHLY recommend the Kalua pork. The Mai Tai's flow freely and the show is truly the best in all of Hawaii. It is an all traditional Hawaiian Luau, so don't expect the fire knife dancers that Polynesian Luaus... More

Luau was a nice relaxing evening with great food, plentiful drinks and beautiful sunset. I would of liked to see more Hawaiian dancing and less Tahitian, but I think they keep it going because people who have not studied the culture or dance might be a bit bored......I would of liked a longer show but it was still a worthwhile...

One of the best Luau choices. The show is good though no fire dancers. The food very good though drinks terribly weak. Order beer. More

Food is a good mix of traditional Hawaiian fare and there is plenty of it. Book Early, we called on a wednesday and couldn't get in until the following Monday. Go with the traditional seating if its available, its right next to the stage and you can spread out a little more than the table and chairs option. Staff is... More

Went to this luau for the first time (first time on Maui too) with my wife for our honeymoon. We had a great time. We had really good table seats too. The key to getting good table seats is to book early. All the reviews that complain about seating probably booked very late. I booked about 6-7 months prior to... More
