South Maui Luaus

 

To help you sort through the luau choices, we recommend that you attend a luau on the side of the island where you are staying. This page lists South Maui luaus which work best for clients in Kihei, Wailea, Makena, Maalaea, Kahului, Paia, and Haiku.  If you are staying in Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kahana, Napili, or Kapalua visit our West Maui Luau page.

Premium seating are selling out at least three week in advance ... make your holiday reservations right away!

There is no premium seating upcharge for infants who are so young that they will not occupy a seat at the table. In this case, please call us after making your reservation and we will adjust your reservation accordingly.

 

This luau is held on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings

 

 

Experience a true paradise setting at the Wailea Marriott's Luau, which offers the best ocean view of any of the Wailea Luaus. The stage is steps away from the shoreline, and the tables look beyond the stage directly out to a full-on ocean view.  Enjoy a luau feast including fresh grilled Teriyaki steaks, sauteed island fish with macademia nut butter, shoyu chicken, and of course the Kalua pork.

 

The Marriott is now offering a brand new luau show called Honua'ula "Return to the Sacred Lands." The new show portrays Maui's discovery by ancient Polynesians and the stories and legends told by the peoples of Honua'ula, the area now known as Wailea and Makena. The newly-produced show blends traditional Hawaiian chanting, ancient hula, and some modern artistic interpretations of Polynesian culture into an enchanting evening of beauty. And yes, the Marriott Luau still features the finest fire knife dancer in the state of Hawaii! Check out this larger photo of him in action doing the fire knife dance.

 

Premier Seating in the first row of tables is available for a upcharge. We highly recommend this option. It is really nice to be able to walk into the luau grounds a few minutes before the show starts knowing that your seats are reserved for you up front! You'll get a great view of the action, especially for the fire knife dance! Premium seating ALWAYS sells out in advance, so don't wait! Reserve your seats now!

 

If you request premium seating and it is not available, we will check other dates during your vacation and contact you to see if the date change is OK with you. If no other dates have premium seating available, we'll book you at regular seating for the date that you requested.

Premier seats  are selling out at least two weeks in advance, so reserve now!

 

CURRENT SCHEDULE: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings

Held at the beautiful beachfront Maui Prince resort in Makena, this luau is the best in the Wailea /South Maui area. If you are staying in Kihei, Wailea, or Makena and don't want to drive an hour to  Lahaina or Kaanapali, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy  Mai Tais and a full open bar, along with an outstanding buffet featuring Kalua pig cooked in a genuine underground imu, huli huli chicken, grilled fish, charbroiled teriyaki steak, and a variety of salads and island delicacies. The Tihati cast members will lead you through an exciting and colorful presentation of the cultures of Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Rarotonga, New Zealand, and Samoa, including the spectacular fire knife dance. 

Premier Seating in the front row of tables is available for a $9.60 surcharge per person on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.  There are only 48 premier seats available and they often sell out 7-10 days in advance ... in the summertime some dates will sell out of premium seating over a month in advance!. Reservations for anytime in 2007 should be made now! If you request premium seating and it is not available, we will check other dates during your vacation and contact you to see if the date change is OK with you. If no other dates have premium seating available, we'll book you at regular seating for the date that you requested.

 

 
CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS can save $20-30 per person on your luau by booking with us compared to the price the cruise lines charge! You may even be able to get better seats by reserving premium seating or by arriving at the luau early. You'll need a rental car to get there as the drive is about 30 minutes from the harbor; for rental cars with cruise ship shuttle pick-up see our rental car page.

Pride of Aloha: Wailea Marriott Luau on Friday evening.

Pride of America: Wailea Marriott Luau on Monday evening.

Pride of Hawaii: Maui Prince Luau on Wednesday evening..

Activity Tips

A luau is a must-do event for the first-time Hawaii visitor. Personally, I never get tired of good food, open bar, sunset views, and Hawaiian music and dance. 

The most important thing about attending a luau is WHERE YOU SIT!!! You are much better off sitting up front at the second best luau than sitting in the back at the best luau. Read that again and let it sink in! If you are booking six months or so in advance you can get great seats at the Old Lahaina Luau. If you are ordering a few weeks before your vacation, go with PREMIER reserved seating at one of the luaus that offer that option (The Maui Prince Luau and Wailea Marriott Luau are a deal with only a $9.60pp surcharge for the front row of tables). 

The two luaus found on this page are very similar in terms of the quality of the food. If you sat two plates of food in front of me, I'd be hard pressed to tell you which one came from which luau. 

The show at the Maui Prince is done by Tihati Productions, the same respected group that produces the Sheraton and Hyatt luaus on the west side. The show at the Marriott is in some respects more traditional, and in others it is more modern. You have to see this show to really understand that statement. I'd say right now that the newly-produced show at the Marriott is the better of the two, but but both are very well done.

Of the two luau grounds, the one at the Marriott has the best ocean view.

Which one should you attend? Well, first consideration is which nights of the week you have available for the luau. If the night of the week isn't an issue,  I'd have to say right now my first choice is the Marriott.

I acknowledge that I have read the booking procedures and wish to submit my itinerary for processing.

 

Upon submitting your activity reservation for processing, we will make reservations for you and send an e-mail confirming all of the details. These confirmations are often sent a few minutes after your reservation, but some activities take longer to confirm than others. You will receive an e-mail confirmation by the end of the next business day at the latest. There are no tickets that you need to pick up prior to your event. Your e-mail confirmation will have all the details you need to check in and enjoy your selected activity. This saves you precious time when you come to Maui! 

Please be sure that you have typed your email address perfectly; an incorrect address will prevent you from getting your confirmation details, and we will have no way of knowing that you never received your confirmation. We cannot be responsible for errors that clients make which causes them to miss their tour. If you do not see your email confirmation within 24 hours please call us right away to check on the status of your order.

A credit card is required to guarantee payment for your reservations, but in almost all cases your credit card is not immediately charged when your order is placed. Your credit card is typically charged five days before you leave for Hawaii, and a voucher is faxed to the vendor. (Some activities are charged at the time of check-in and your e-mail confirmation will inform you if this is the case). Any activities that will be charged at the time of order will be clearly marked "Payment is required at the time of reservation." 

For activities charged by Adventuremaui.com five days before the start of your vacation, If you cancel your activity after your credit card has been charged you will receive a full credit to apply to another tour or activity during your vacation. If you don't use that credit before you leave the island, a refund of 90% will be processed on your credit card. 

After making reservations, you may reschedule or cancel your activity up until 48 hours prior to its start (a few activities have 72 hour cancellation policies ... see your confirmation e-mail for details). Within 48 hours of the start of your activity all reservations are final and non-refundable (unless the event is cancelled by the vendor due to weather or other factors). Due to our incredible climate weather cancellations are rare, but in those cases you will receive a 100% refund. No-shows and cancellations without adequate notice are charged in full on the credit card used to secure the reservation and are non-refundable.
