A Theatrical Journey Through Hawaiian Legend
The show tells the story of young Moea, who falls into a magical slumber beneath the enchanted Kapa Moe blanket. Through her dreams, guests follow an unforgettable journey across Hawaiian mythology and legend. This innovative production sets itself apart by seamlessly blending traditional storytelling with contemporary theatrical elements, including aerial acrobatics and dramatic fire knife performances. The attention to detail shows in every aspect, from the live Hawaiian chanting to the handcrafted authentic costumes worn by the performers.
A Culinary Celebration
The culinary experience matches the show’s premium quality. The Ritz-Carlton Maui’s talented culinary team has crafted a sophisticated take on traditional luau favorites, starting with options like a custom poke station where guests can build their own bowls using fresh ahi tuna, kimchi tako (octopus), or vegetarian options with an array of bases and toppings. The main course selection features a whole roasted pig prepared in a Caja China, macadamia nut-crusted fresh catch, Asian-braised beef short ribs, and North Shore-style garlic shrimp. Local side dishes include Molokai sweet potatoes with citrus coconut glaze and wok-fired island vegetables, ensuring every plate offers an authentic taste of Hawaii.
Premium Bar Experience
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy an included selection of cocktails, beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks, and tropical mocktails. Signature options include a traditional Mai Tai, Blue Hawaiian, and POG Juice Mocktail.
