The great news is that the Old Lahaina Luau reopened the month before we arrived in April. It is pricey (all in about $230 per person), but it was so worth it. Yes, you get unlimited drinks and food, but the value is in the experience and the people there that make you feel so incredibly welcomed and well taken care of. Our waiter Kaipo and his assistant, Isiah were fantastic. They catered to our every need before, during and after dinner. The show itself was fascinating and extremely well done. The people of Maui are proud of their heritage and they do such a beautiful job of presenting it to you.

The luau and dinner experience was excellent. We were at the seated dinner tables and had a great view of the show area. The layout is very good so there is not a bad seat in the house. The view of the ocean was beautiful and there was time before the luau to roam the grounds and enjoy the evening. The food was served in four courses and the servers explained each dish and its significance to the Hawaiian culture. The soft drinks and cocktails were included and the staff did a great job. The show was very entertaining and provided information on Hawaiian history and some of the Hawaiian rituals and dances. Would highly recommend this luau for a wonderful evening out.

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I knew I HAD to go to a luau! Upon lots of research and recommendations from friends, I chose Old Lahaina. I was so disappointed when I received notice the week prior to my trip that the Friday night show I was scheduled for had been cancelled. Luckily, the stars aligned with my friend's work schedule and we were able to book for another evening. I am a foodie and love trying new things. But, to be honest, the food was average, at best. Not one bite did I truly love. HOWEVER, the entertainment, from the time we walked in to the time we left, was fabulous!! I so enjoyed every aspect of this evening. Our server was wonderful and attentive and the view and scenery... sunset on the water... couldn't be beat. Yes, the price tag is pretty hefty for one "meal" during one evening. Would I do it all over again? You bet I would!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable evening of Hawaiian culture, delicious food, and mesmerizing entertainment, this luau is a must-experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an ambiance that set the stage for an incredible night. The dance performance was absolutely breathtaking. Each routine told a story, blending tradition, grace, and energy in a way that left the audience in awe. The performers’ passion and skill were evident, and the live music accompaniment was the perfect touch to enhance the magic of the evening. Whether it was the intricate hula or the thrilling fire knife dance, every moment was captivating. Now, onto the food—equally as memorable as the show. The buffet offered a wide variety of traditional Hawaiian dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. Staples like coconut, banana, taro, chicken, fish, and pork were prepared with incredible care, showcasing the island’s rich culinary heritage. And for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions, the luau went above and beyond. By simply notifying them in advance during booking, they ensured every guest was accommodated without compromising on quality or flavor. The vegetarian menu was as thoughtfully crafted as the main offerings, with delicious options that impressed even the non-vegetarians in our group. The balance of cultural immersion and culinary excellence made this luau an extraordinary experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this event is a beautiful way to celebrate Hawaiian traditions while enjoying some of the best food and entertainment you’ll find. Highly recommend!

Old Lahaina Luau was a very special experience for us and we enjoyed the entire evening. We attended on our 35th anniversary and I wore my grandma’s Hawaiian dress. She had purchased it over 50 years ago while vacationing in Hawaii with my grandpa. When we approached the registration stand, I was asked about the dress and got to share its story. We chose to be seated at a regular table vs. on the ground. Our server provided excellent service and explained each serving of food. We hadn’t realized we would get everything on the menu - Wow! And even though we were placed with another group of people, my husband and I received our own servings that were not passed around the table. We greatly appreciated this. The Luau was a magical experience. So much talent! We are really glad we chose Old Lahaina Luau. When we were walking to the car after the performance, we both stated we now truly felt we were in Hawaii.

Had the chance to hit up the Old Lahaina Luau on December 4th, and let me tell you, it was a blast! If you're thinking about going, definitely do it – just make sure to show up early. I wish I had, because the cultural stations are so cool and perfect for snapping some unforgettable photos. You've gotta check out the opening ceremony of the IMU – super interesting to see how some of the delicious food is cooked. Speaking of food, loved that it wasn't a buffet! Everything was served family-style right at our table, which felt classy and personal. Plus, having drinks delivered straight to us? Yes, please! The staff rocked, too. They were so helpful with all my questions about the food and the different luau performances. The food was incredible, and trust me, you will leave with a full belly! The setting is absolutely stunning, overlooking the ocean. And the turf grass was a nice touch – way better than crushed stone at other luaus. It didn’t feel overcrowded at all, which made the whole experience super chill. If you're in Maui, the Old Lahaina Luau is a fantastic choice. You’re in for a treat!

We attended the Old Lahaina Luau tonite and I am speechless. My husband and I have been to two luaus in the past and so I really wasn’t keen to go again, especially since it is costly. But this was my sister’s 1st time to Hawaii & she really wanted to go so…. I can’t say enough about how professional EVERYTHING is done. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like honored guests & made to feel very special. We were given fresh orchid leis, all of the beverages (including alcoholic) are included. The food is plentiful & delicious, the performers amazing & the setting is like something out of South Pacific. We really got a glimpse into the world of native Hawaiians. They spoke about the devastating fires last year & we felt such a sense of connection with them. I can’t recommend this luau enough. Part of the proceeds go to help the Lahaina community. I actually feel humbled & honored to have celebrated the Hawaiian culture with these amazing souls. Maui Strong!!

This was truly amazing, the best luau I have ever been to. This is the first place in Lahaina to open back up, it was powerful being there. Every second was well planned and flowed well. The staff was amazing and taught us so much about their culture. They were so open in sharing with us the tragedy that struck here and how they were personally impacted. During the performance, they had a powerful moment honoring what has been lost. Our host for the evening Randolph was phenomenal. Highly recommend to support a local authentic business and learn all about the history of this culture.

I tend to agree with the review of someone in October. The entertainment was spectacular, but the food was definitely a disappointment. When we went years ago, the meal was a buffet with kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, Mac salad, etc. This food was very dry & the Mahi smelled like it had been frozen.

Grandly picturesque setting with sunset across the harbor. Beautifully landscaped arena with original style grass roofed buildings. Warm greeting with a delicious drink. Spencer was a friendly, attentive, efficient server, as well as a talented drummer in the performance. Delectable food! Great descriptions of dishes we had never tasted nor even heard of. The roast pork and poke were especially tasty, but so was everything else. The performance was breathtaking, with beautiful clothing, dances, and a great presentation of Hawaii history. Best of all were the singers! Altogether, it was an evening our family will always fondly remember.
