Te Au Moana, which means the ocean tide, has long been a steady presence across Oceania, linking our islands, communities, and generations. Our Polynesian forebears navigated these ocean tides for centuries and held them in high regard for their life-giving qualities.

Excellent experience!... - Excellent experience! Right on the water with views of whales. The dancers were excellent and I enjoyed learning a little bit about the Polynesian culture. Food was plentiful and delicious.

Luau Fun. - Experience and atmosphere were great. Have been to many Luau's over the years and this one was definitely one of the better. It is expensive but really no more or less than any others that you would go to on Maui. Would definitely recommend.

Very entertaining! - My and my mom’s first time to Hawaii. We had to experience a luau. I chose this one based on reviews. The dancers, performers and staff were awesome. They saw that my mom doesn’t get around the best and offered to drive us back to our vehicle when it was over(we parked at the shopping center as we were lost and have poor sense of direction). He took us all the way, not just to their parking. Thank you.

Best Luau and setting imaginable! - All was absolutely amazing! The food, the drinks, the setting and learning about the culture was top notch. But the performances topped it all!!! Serving staff were also the best! Only recommendation would be to start a little later to avoid intense heat from direct sun. Sunset watching was perfection though!

We arrived early but the... - We arrived early but the parking lot at the Marriott was full because there was also a private event happening that same evening. We drove around the parking garage for ten minutes and when trying to exit since there were no open spaces, we were told we had to pay $10 for parking even though we didn’t get to park. We finally found parking in the valet area. The luau is a good 20 minute walk away from the parking garage which is a bit inconvenient. The food was okay and the show wasn’t as long as I anticipated with the amount of breaks in between.
