Luaus on Maui with Hula Dancing and Dinner
One activity that I
recommend for everyone on Maui vacations is a luau. A luau is a
Hawaiian hula dancing show with Hawaiian dinner and drinks. |

Maui Luaus - Details and differences to help you decide Old Lahaina Luau 800-248-5828 Reviews most often rate this as the best luau on Maui. It is only best for adults, not kids, and for those who want a more serious show that teaches some culture and history. The Old Lahaina Luau has the most authentic Hawaiian show and food. There are no fire dancers. This is one of the most expensive luaus on Maui and the price is almost never discounted. It is one of the only luaus with reserved seats, and it is often sold out, so you need to book as many months in advance as possible. The closest seats are on mats on the ground, but most seats are in more comfortable chairs at tables. Old Lahaina Luau website Hyatt Luau 808-661-1234 The luau at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort on Kaanapali Beach is the best luau for kids and families. It's called "Drums of the Pacific." It is more fun and less serious than the Old Lahaina Luau. The show includes touristy songs, and fire dancers, and kids are often invited up on stage for one of the numbers. Seating is first-come first-served, so buying your ticket far in advance does not do you any good, but showing up early and waiting in line will get you in ahead of the crowd so you can choose a closer seat to the show. Prices here are usually discounted, so shop around for the best deal. Hyatt luau website Feast at Lele 866-244-5353 This is about the most expensive luau on Maui, and is almost never discounted. Unlike the usual buffet dinners, there are fewer people per table and the food is served to you at your table. But I don't like this one. My experience was that the food and show were at the same time, so it was hard to give full attention to either the dinner or the show. Portions were small. The cast was smaller than at other luaus, and they were harder to see because many of them were dancing behind the other tables instead of on a more elevated stage like at other luaus. Feast at Lele website Kaanapali Beach Luau 808-661-3611 This is the luau at the Royal Lahaina Resort Hotel. It is similar to the Hyatt luau and is fun for the whole family. It's often the least expensive luau on Maui because it is discounted by multiple activities sellers. But it may be discontinued in the next year or so because the grounds where it is held will be taken over by the remodeling of the entire Royal Lahaina property. Royal Lahaina luau website Wailea Marriott Luau 808-875-7710 or 808-879-1922 Honua'ula is the name of the luau at this hotel. If you are staying on the south side of Maui (Wailea or Kihei) then this is one of the two luaus for you to pick from, because it's much closer than all lf the above luaus that are on the west side of Maui. At the Wailea Marriott Resort, but similar to the Hyatt luau. Wailea Marriott luau website Makena Beach (formerly Maui Prince) Luau 808-877-4852 or 808-874-1111 This luau at the Makena BeachResort is the other luau on the south side, so this and the Wailea Marriott are the choices if you are staying in Kihei or Wailea and you don't want to drive all the way to the west side luaus listed above.
