Being from Hawai’i we’ve had our share of lūʻau ʻs and my husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The way they greeted us at the entrance with a Mai -Tai, and quickly got us checked in, to sitting at a table with strangers since it’s “ ‘ohana style” and getting to know them was pleasant. The show itself is authentic, really well done - not cheesy or too touristy for kamaʻāina guests. The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the ambiance of a smaller venue than a larger scale lūʻau. It was personable and intimate, and perfect for our special date night.
The luau is held at the beautiful Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection at Kalāhuipuaʻa, which is a historical area where ancient Hawaiians mastered the art of aquaculture and where King Kamehameha came to recuperate and work in the fishponds. Guests are welcomed with a traditional Oli (chant) in preparation for preliminary activities with the cast. After the activities, watch as the pig is taken out of the traditional imu pit before it is prepared for the Hawaiian buffet. The program is capped off by a performance of traditional and modern Hula dances, along with the spectacular Samoan Siva Afi (fire knife dance).
Duration2 hours - 3 hours

We spent NYE attending the luau at the Mauna Lani and had an amazing evening. The food was delicious and the show was both informative and spectacular to watch. A great way to ring in the new Year.
