Loved this experience
This was one of the must do's on my list for my Maui trip. It didn't disappoint. The food and drinks were amazing. Our servers were awesome. The history of the Dance was great and learned a lot. This should be something everyone should experience. I do know it seems expensive but with all things included it is amazing. So glad to have had this experience.

They are back open!!! After 7 months you can feel the excitement and happiness that the employees have to be back at work. Their property was not burned at all by a miracle - burned out on either side. So location is beautiful. More food than you could ever eat - so fun to try the variety of Hawaiian dishes, Entertainment was great. So happy we chose to attend their second night open. Jackie - our server - was wonderful and so full of aloha. Only down side could be the price but it was worth it. Support all the employees & Lahaina --- attend!!!
Be the first to ReplyDoes NOT refund money even though promised to do to
God help you if you ever need your money back. We made a reservation for four in September and due to the fires, reservations were obviously cancelled. It has been OVER a month and I still do not have a refund. I opened a dispute with my credit card company that they have STILL not responded to. I'd be shocked if anyone got a refund. It was just under $1,000 for a reservation for 4 and these people just keep the money. They sent multiple emails saying they were refunding all reservations through December 15. FALSE.
Be the first to ReplyTruly memorable!
This was a highlight of our trip to Maui. We have younger kids, and they had an amazing time. We were looking for a lลซ'au with traditional food and dance, and the Old Lฤhainฤ Lลซ'au delivered! The food is incredible, and our kids loved learning about and seeing the preparation of the pua'a kฤlua/imu roasted pork. Drinks were fantastic, and our server was awesome about making a big deal of the fancy virgin Lava Flows and Mai Tais for our kids. There was a local artisan on site with hand-carved items for sale, and a traditional game for the younger guests to play leading up to the dinner and show. We were blown away by the music and dances throughout the evening. Iโm so glad that we went early during our visit to the island - truly memorable experience. Tip - Get there on the early side for best parking - thereโs a lovely waiting area with some history and small exhibits before guests are allowed in to the main seating area.

Be the first to ReplyGreat service, views and food!
Jackie was our amazing server! She took fabulous photos of us just as the sun was setting behind us. She took the time to explain each delicious delicacy. Fantastic!
Be the first to ReplyGlad We Did It..No Need to Do Again
Given this was my first visit to Hawaii, definitely wanted a Luau experience. Amazing view and the the service was tight. Food was much better than expected and the show was entertaining enough. Itโs not cheap, but thatโs to be expected. But once youโve done it, donโt really see where a return visit is needed.
Be the first to ReplyWouldn't do it again
Well...we felt like since we were in Hawaii we needed to do a luau. So, I'm glad we did, but overall the experience wasn't as great as I thought it would be (especially for the price) and we definitely wouldn't do it again. The setting was lovely, all outdoors right on the ocean. The show was great. The service was good, our waiter was attentive. We were all underwhelmed with the food and I had an upset tummy overnight after eating here. After 10 nights on Maui, we all agreed this was our least favorite meal, by far. If you're looking for something to splurge on, because this is pricey, I would recommend you find something else and take a pass on this.

A truly amazing culture experience. The food was excellent and they keep you entertained from the moment you show up to the moment you leave. This was one of our favorites in Maui and would absolutely go again!
Be the first to ReplyGluten-Free/Celiac-Safe Luau
Totally safe for people with celiac. My teen is more sensitive to gluten than most people with celiac and he felt fine. When I called the venue, they spoke to me extensively to reassure me about their procedures but never made any false claims. The server was very conscious and courteous of his needs. His food was practically the same as every one else's with the omission of rolls, cake (but still got dessert), one of the sauces on the meat, and not being able to eat the soy marinated yellow fin tuna (which was just a side dish). They even provided a gluten free menu (which is unnecessary because it's practically the same as the regular menu, but it nice because it made him feel included and reassured and showed him the abundance and variety of food he would have to eat). A wonderful experience all around. The location is beautiful, the show incredible and educational, the food out of this world, and the service top-notch. Worth every penny we spent! It was such a delightful way to begin our Hawaiian vacation. My teens and I thoroughly enjoyed trying the huge variety of delicious dishes we were served. My picky eater tried every single dish. My teen with celiac was taken care of and was able to eat all but two or three of the items on the menu, and he was served a variation of those items that were gluten-free. The servers treated us like honored guests and were prompt and friendly from the minute we entered to the end of the evening. Even the bathrooms were beautiful with three arrangements of fresh flowers on the sinks. I can't fathom why people have left one star reviews. As for the vegetarians who left bad reviews, it's a luau -- pork, fish, Hawaiian food. We had a woman behind us who was a vegetarian, and she seemed to thoroughly enjoy her meal. It also seems a lot of bad reviews complained about the drinks. You don't go to a luau to get drunk. We had the non-alcoholic beverages, and they were delicious and they kept them coming. My son drank 4! The people below us had the drinks with alcohol and seemed to really enjoy their drinks. I think one of them had every drink on the menu! I have seen photos of other luaus on Maui, and this one seems like the absolute best.
Be the first to ReplyWorth the Money
I was a little concerned because this was the single most expensive thing our family of 5 booked during our time on Maui. By the end I felt we got our money's worth here. From the fresh flower lei to the beautifully plated dishes. The food and drink were plentiful. The service was excellent and the show was amazing. We loved everything about this luau. We happened to see another luau while we were watching the sunset on Black Rock Beach, it was not nearly as nice as Old Lahaina and we were glad we did not book that one. Old Lahaina Lua is a must while your on Maui.

We really enjoyed the food and that the server explained what each dish was. It was fun to learn more about Hawaiian history and culture and the different dances were awesome! There is no fire throwing at this show, but everything was so wonderful, we weren't disappointed. Shout out to our amazing server Uncle Tim! Would definitely recommend this luau!
Be the first to ReplyDefinitely worth it
The Luau was definitely worth it! Loved the food and loved the entertainment. Although it was inside because unfortunately the day we booked it rained and was windy it was still a lot of fun and they still tried to make the best if it. Thank you!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing, luau experience!!!
The staff, food and entertainment was phenomenal! Shout out to Server Devin (who has worked there for 15 years), who was so informative about the food, and was always trying to make sure we were happy and comfortable! Also shout out to our busser Tasha, who was super friendly and helpful in all ways, made the night even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, nothing was wrong with the food. They had to serve a 4 course tasting menu, it allowed for all foods to be tried without having to worry about a buffet. The sauces, food, and everything else was amazing, and always came out hot and ready to eat. They gave plenty of time to eat (no matter what speed a person wants to eat at), while giving us plenty of time to enjoy the entertainment between meals. Just as a general statement, come hungry and expect to leave as full as you have ever been, they are always willing to bring you extras of anything they served if by some miracle your still hungry. The entertainment was also amazing, the dancers were superb at what they do, it was entertaining and the costumes were beautiful. Overall, I have nothing negative to say about this luau, and would highly recommend to all.

I cannot say enough good about Old Lahaina Luau!! The staff is amazing. From the reservation staff to the servers. (Thank you Rissi and Kamaka!) The oceanfront setting could not have been more perfect. The food was delicious and presented with great flourish. It was an experience that we will never forget!
Be the first to ReplyA Trip Highlight
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The service, staff and the food was exceptional. We ate way too much but it was all so good. The show was informative and beautiful. This is a must do in Lahaina!
Be the first to ReplyPerfect Aloha Luau experience
Old Lahaina Luau is perfect in every way. Sitting is by reservation and each table has an excellent view of the entertainment. The wait staff is wonderful, pleasant and attentive. They show true aloha spirit. The dancing is the best I have ever seen. From beginning to end: fresh lei greeting to banana bread ending gift, the evening is wonderful. The meal and drinks are generous and well timed. You never have to wait for anything and the the staff truly gives the impression that they happy to be there and happy to serve you. Highly recommend the experience. Best luau we have ever gone to.
Be the first to ReplyThe BEST Luau Possible
We have already told many people about Old Lahaina Luau, both on the island and since we got home. It has to be the best there is!!! Every single employee from greeting to the welcome lei to "Aloha!" was warm and welcoming and made us feel like ohana (family). The setting, right on the edge of the Pacific, cannot be beat. The performers were beautiful and talented. The food was delicious, and the fact that it was served to us at our table and each course described is above and beyond! (Everyone we talked to who attended other luaus had to go through buffet lines.) We hope they keep serving their delicious food. It added so much to the experience!
Be the first to ReplyGlad that we chose this Luau!
Beautiful outdoor Luau on the water where every table seemed to have a good view. Beautiful dancers, costumes, music & talk story. The hardworking staff was welcoming, courteous & friendly. Our server Ridge did a great job explaining the different foods and pacing the multiple courses. The food quality was pretty good โ on par with attending a large catered event, but not fine dining. The mixed drinks were not strong, so we tried several. Great that the tip is included with the meal price. No fire dancing, but we happened to be out for a walk the next day and coincidentally walked past the Hyatt during the fire dance at the Drums of the Pacific Luau โ we enjoyed a quick view from the sidewalk!
Be the first to ReplyGreat Luau!
We attended the Old Lahaina Luau during our recent trip to Maui. The staff were very friendly and showed us to our table. The food was good. The performers were outstanding. We had an enjoyable night out and would highly recommend it.
Be the first to Replyinteresting experience and good food (and a lot of it)
The story told throughout the evening presentation was interesting - history of Hawaii and the native people told through the vantage point of Hula dancing.
The food was tasty, but totally standard fare expected at a Luau.
Mixed Feelings
My family (2 adults and 3 teenage/early 20s age children) attended the Old Lahaina Luau last week. I had a hard time deciding between a 3 or 4 star rating for this review because of my mixed feelings overall. It is in a beautiful setting with the sunset and ocean as a backdropโwe captured some great family photos. We opted for the traditional seating and had excellent seats rights in front of the stage (note: you are sitting on pillows on ground so no back support if thatโs an issue), . There were some brief bits of entertainment, hula dancing, Hawaiian history. etc as we dined. I enjoyed that. The drinks were fine, but not sure they had any alcohol in them and the food was plentiful and each course was explained well. Unfortunately, 3 out of 5 of our party had very upset stomach the entire next dayโughh! The main course was my least favoriteโtough meat, fish tasted โoffโ and chicken was extremely fatty. It started to lightly rain right before the dessert course. The staff quickly passed out disposable rain ponchos and it was fine. However, about 5-10 minutes into the actual hour long show, the rain became heavier, they stopped the show and sent us all home! I realize that the weather is out of their control and was at least appreciative of the 50% refund they gave us. I was very disappointed that we didnโt get to see the full show because the few minutes we did see were fantastic! The rain literally stopped by the time we walked to our car, bummer! So overall my ratings: Setting: 5/5. Food and drinks: 3/5 (thatโs maybe too generous), Entertainment: 4/5 (of what I saw, but so disappointed didnโt get to see entire showโit was something we all had been looking forward to). Book way in advance if you plan to go (we were on waitlist and they contacted us a couple months prior that they had an opening).
Be the first to ReplyGood overall, but be aware
Overall very good but a couple of things could be improved. Note that we got rained out just after dinner and didn't get more than 5-10 minutes into the actual show. So we got dinner but no show. I would have rated it lower for that but the weather is really out of their control and it looks like they did issue a 50% refund to our credit card. As far as the food goes, the food is great for teens and adults. But we had a child with us and there wasn't really anything that was kid friendly. Rest assured that if you have even a remotely picky eater, your kid won't eat a thing here and you are paying a lot of money for food that will just get thrown away. Lastly, they don't tell you until AFTER you book that the gratuity isn't included (fine print in the confirmation email), which is very high. So your server will surprise you with a bill afterward and a suggested gratuity that you may not be prepared for.
Be the first to ReplyThe Best There Is
I was skeptical of the Luau experience. The Old Lahaina Luau blew my expectations out of the water.
First and foremost, a Luau is an experience to learn about Hawaiian culture. The Maui family that runs this Luau has created one of the most unique cultural friendly experiences that you will ever be allowed to take part in.
The Hawaiian culture and history is rich and beautiful. You will not regret this experience as you are immersed into the culture with festivities, foods, and aloha hospitality.
IF you can get a reservation -- do not miss out. Make sure you come on an empty stomach because you will eat ALOT (and it is all amazing).
Great experience!
Highly recommend. The food was excellent (and plentiful!), the show was so fun to watch, the setting was beautiful, and the staff was so kind and friendly. We would definitely do it again if we ever find ourselves in Maui again.
