Old Lahaina Luau

The Old Lahaina Luau is the most authentic luau on the island of Maui. Located at an old fishing village, the Old Lahaina Luau invites you to a night of traditional Hawaiian music, cuisine, cultural dances and island crafts. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a warm "aloha," a sweet smelling flower lei and a Mai Tai from the open bar or any beverage of your choice.

As you sip on your favorite beverage, walk over to the arts and crafts corner and watch a demonstration of how to make poi. Poi is made from the bulb of the taro plant and is mashed after it is cooked. Enjoy watching the weaving of kapa, a fabric made from fibers from certain shrubs and trees. The art of lauhala weaving uses the leaves of the hala tree to make baskets, bracelets, mats and many other articles. Also, enjoy the exhibits of local Hawaiian artists as they display their carvings and other artifacts. One of the highlights of the evening is the unearthing of the kalua pig from its underground earth oven called an imu. To roast the kalua pig, hot coals, stones, large leaves and cloths are used to cover the pig. 

Along with the kalua roast pork, you are invited to indulge in the big luau feast that features a wide variety of delicacies. This is the chance to try island dishes that you have never tasted before. Of course, you also have to try poi, the ancient Hawaiian staple food.

After the luau feast, enjoy a spectacular Polynesian show. Hawaiian music, orchestrated by Na Leo Ho'oulu, brings excitement to the luau performance as singers, dancers, chanters and drummers re-tell legends and stories of the old Hawaii.
