Old Lahaina Luau on Maui
Old Lahaina Luau brings you to an oceanfront Lahaina evening centered on Hawaiian food, music, hula, storytelling and cultural traditions. The sound of the ocean, the open-air grounds and the history of Lahaina give the night a calm Maui atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
You are welcomed with aloha, a fresh flower lei and a drink from the premium open bar. Before dinner, you can spend time on the grounds, watch cultural demonstrations and see how Hawaiian traditions are woven into the evening.
This luau does not present a broad Polynesian revue. Old Lahaina Luau focuses on Hawaii, with a show built around Hawaiian music, chant, hula and stories of old Hawaii. That focus gives the performance a different tone from luaus that move quickly across many island cultures.
Seating Options: You may choose traditional Hawaiian mat seating or regular tables and chairs. Mat seating places you closer to the ground in a traditional style, while table seating gives you the familiar comfort of chairs.
Oceanfront Lahaina Setting
Old Lahaina Luau is located along Front Street in Lahaina, with an oceanfront setting that shapes the early part of the evening. Arrival feels unhurried, with time for a lei greeting, drinks, cultural demonstrations and sunset-hour views before dinner begins.
The Lahaina location is part of the identity of this luau. Instead of a fast-moving dinner show, the evening stays focused on Hawaiian tradition, island food, live music and hula in a setting closely connected with Maui history.
Mat Seating or Table Seating
Traditional Hawaiian mat seating places you closer to the ground near the stage area. This seating style can make the evening feel more connected to the performance and the cultural setting.
Table seating gives you regular tables and chairs. Choose table seating if you prefer a familiar dining setup, need easier movement or have mobility concerns. Both seating types include the same feast, premium open bar and Hawaiian show.

Hawaiian Music, Hula and Storytelling
After dinner, the performance begins with Hawaiian music by Na Leo Ho'oulu, along with singers, dancers, chanters and drummers. The show shares stories of old Hawaii through hula and chant rather than a multi-island revue.
That Hawaiian focus is the heart of Old Lahaina Luau. The food, music, hula and storytelling all stay close to the islands’ own traditions.
Premium Open Bar and Evening Flow
Old Lahaina Luau includes a premium open bar, with drinks available during the evening. After arrival and cultural demonstrations, the night moves into dinner, followed by the Hawaiian performance.
The luau lasts about 3 hours, not including travel time. Since this is one of Maui’s most requested luaus, reserve early once your travel dates are firm.
