Description
A luau is one of the best ways to celebrate a trip to Maui. It’s a Hawaiian feast that features lively music and cultural performances from Hawaii and the greater Polynesia.
The concept of the luau still enjoys celebration two centuries later. It is important to remember that, despite its Hawaiian roots and the luau name, not all entertainment or food at a luau is Hawaiian. The multi-cultural society of Hawaii is reflected in a contemporary luau. The food served at a family luau can be as varied as the branches of the family tree. A visitor luau usually features dances and music from other Polynesian cultures.
A sumptuous buffet dinner will be served to complement the show concept.
Our award-winning performers will amaze and entertain you with a spectacular display of songs and dances from Hawaii and Polynesia at the Huaka’i Luau – Journey Through Polynesia.
Enjoy the rich cultural heritage found on the pacific islands. The spectacular Polynesian show is presented at the ocean’s edge under the stars, palm trees and stars. Feel the magic and splendor of ancient Hawaii. Experience the spirit of Aloha and a Backyard-style Hawaiian Luau. Discover why Huaka’i Luau, a special experience celebrating the Oceans of Aloha, is so unique.
