Luau Kalamaku - Kilohana Plantation

Please note there are multiple Marriott Resorts on Kauai.  For guests staying at the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club, the luau is closer to the resort than any pick up location offered!

Taking place at the historic Kilohana Plantation just outside of Lihue, Luau Kalamaku pays tribute to the ancient explorers who persisted to sail across the South Pacific even under hardship, relying only on their "inner fire of determination." This willpower eventually transported them to the new land and ultimately the newcomers called these islands home. Watch talented performers bring the history and beauty of Hawaii to life with music, dance and drums.

There will also be Hawaiian arts and crafts demonstrations, island games and the traditional imu ceremony,in which the kalua roast pig is taken out of the underground oven. The following luau dinner features a wide variety of delicacies to please all appetites. After dinner, watch a spectacular Polynesian revue that features twice as many dancers and entertainers than any other luau on Kauai! It was recently named "Best Luau Show" by Lonely Planet.

Gold Luau: Luau Kalamaku's exclusive Gold Package includes premium seating, so you can experience our theatrical show so close to the stage that you can feel the heat from our famous fire dancers!
