We've been to several luaus before, and having heard a lot of "the most authentic" blah-blah-blah stuff about the Old Lahaina Luau, we decided to give it a try. We were thoroughly disappointed. Sure, the stuff is friendly. But that's about it. There are luaus with much better scenery (e.g. Wailea Marriott Luau) and way better Hawaiian/Polynesian reviews (e.g. Maui... more

Unless you are traveling with children or adults that enjoy a tourist trap, I would avoid this place. Maybe the previous reviewer is right and "if you have to go to a luau" ,this is the one. However, I was in no way impressed. I found the narrative disjointed and unclear. I knew from reading the promotional literature that it... more

If you have to go to a luau, this is the one to choose. Great location on the beach. Don't expect a gourmet meal at any luau, but the food at this is well-prepared. You will get to taste some good pork--that's the best thing here, for sure. Laulau good as well as the kalua pig, lomi-lomi salmon, ahi poke.... more

Old Lahaina Luau is the most authentic Luau in Maui. The staff and performers are friendly and wonderful. They are truly driven to make your experience as wonderful as they can. The food is served buffet style and is fresh, tasty and plentiful. The show is the stellar point of going to the Luau. The performers and costumes are great.... more

This is ABSOLUTELY a MUST if you visit Maui! We have been to the Old Lahaina Luau 7 times in the last ten years and never get tired of the excellant food and outstanding show! Our most recent visit was September 14, 2009 during our 25th Anniversary trip and we will be attending the Old Lahaina Luau for the 8th... more

We went to the O.L.L. on our first night on Maui, as a "must do" while we were there. We reserched it on tripadviser and were very glad we went. we booked by phone the day before and got a great table so you dont have to book through your travel agent if you dont want to. From the moment... more

We had a very enjoyable evening at the Old Lahaina Luau. It is a bit pricey for dinner and a show, but it isn't like you attend a luau frequently. Great buffet, lots of choices. Able to try foods I've never had before. They didn't announce the pig unearthing until it was too late to get a spot around the... more

Me and my wife attended the Luau on our last night in Maui. We got there and checked in. We were early so we waited for about 10 minutes. They opened the gates and we were greated with a drink and a lei. We were escorted to our seats and given some info. We walked around and looked at some... more

The staff was wonderful, they wanted to be there and they wanted you to have a good time. They all liked what they did and it showed. The show was superb and entertaining. I would recommend getting a chair for dinner and not sitting on ground (pillows). Would go to it again if on Maui. If on Maui, can't miss... more

Our flight arrived too late to do more than attend the Luau on Day 1. We loved everything about the luau experience. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I grew up eating Hawaiian food, and the luau brought back the flavors of childhood parties. I can understand why this place got such high reviews in the past. Details: Some... more
