THE CELEBRATION

The celebration begins with a warm Hawaiian welcome, as guests are invited to participate in traditional games and watch the imu ceremony. With incredible music and dance, you’re treated to an excellent show, but what really makes this incredible is the MC, who should really be on Broadway!  What a voice!  As night falls, torches light the way for a captivating performance of hula, live music, and stories about Kalāhuipuaʻa and the history and traditions of the area. The evening culminates with an exhilarating fireknife dance, leaving guests with memories of a night steeped in culture and entertainment. This is one of our favorite Big Island Luaus.

    If you do the VIP/front row, it makes all the difference. I was in heaven!

  2. Karen Jensen –

    Hale Hoaloha Luau at Mauna Lani, Auberge Resort was one of those nights that felt fancy yet relaxed. You get a welcome drink, there are little games before dinner, and we watched the imu part which was cool in a simple way. The buffet was honestly great, lots of poke options, kalua pork, plus a steak/striploin thing and desserts that were a highlight for me. The host/MC was the sleeper hit…big theater voice, funny, kept it moving. It’s definitely expensive, and it got a little chilly/windy toward the end so bring a light layer. I would go again if it were less cost.

  3. N Rowe –

    Food was solid but the show was the best part. Smaller than the big resort luaus but more intimate and heartfelt.

  4. Danny A. –

    Attending the Hale Hoaloha Luau at Mauna Lani is worth doing. The food was some of the best I’ve had here in Hawaii.

  5. R. Adams –

    We loved learning about the history behind the dances, and the food was fantastic. Just bring a light jacket, since it got a bit cool toward the end.

  6. Jamie S. –

    The performances were authentic and beautifully done, with talented dancers and a passionate narrator who made the stories really come alive. I think that was my favorite part. If we come back to Hawaii, I’ll do a luau again.

  7. Alicia Ramos –

    Your luau at Mauna Lani was incredible. The food was delicious! Thanks!

  8. Kev –

    The pre-show games kept my son entertained while we waited for the dancing. The buffet had plenty of options, even for him. The show itself was outstanding, especially the hula and fire dancers. The open-air setup made it extra special (and we scored a great sunset.) Highly recommend!

  9. Sarah Kim –

    The Hale Hoaloha Luau was just what we wanted! The grounds at Mauna Lani were stunning. The food was delicious, with fresh poke, kalua pork, and the best desserts we’ve yet had in Maui. The kids loved the fire dancing. Thank you for a great night!
