Maui’s Premier Cultural & Dining Event
 Old Lahaina Luau takes great pride in the authenticity of their Hawaiian luau, not just the food portion, but traditional Hawaiian music, cultural dances (hula), and island crafts.
If you have read anything about luaus in Hawai‘i, more than likely you know the name “Old Lahaina Luau” as it is the benchmark by which Hawaiian luaus are measured.
This is an award-winning cultural experience that has been written about by every travel magazine and travel program, and with good reason: A sixtime winner of the prestigious “Kahili Award,” Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau; fi ve-time winner of the “Best Luau” category, Best of Maui; “The Best Place To Go On Maui,” Eyewitness Travel Guides; “The Best Luau You Will Find,” Fodor’s Guide; and Frommer’s Maui quotes: “Its authenticity, intimacy, hospitality, cultural integrity and shear romantic beauty have made this one of Maui’s top luaus.”
Starting with the location, guests relax oceanfront under tropical skies and thatched roofs among the swaying palm trees. After an amazing sunset, tiki torches provide the light and a setting to let your imagination drift back to a time long ago.
 When you enter the luau grounds the hospitality and intimacy begins at once. This combined with the quality of food and entertainment is why visitors return time after time. Once you have had the Old Lahaina Luau experience, it will be a “must do” every time you visit Maui.
The menu for the evening at the Hawaiian dinner buffet offers you a large variety. You will fi nd kalua pig, Maui-style mahi mahi, pulehu steak, island-style chicken, chicken long rice, mini lau laus (one of the only, if not only, luaus that serve baked, in-house taro and sweet rolls with a guava honey butter, stirfried vegetables, roasted Moloka‘i sweet potato, and fried rice. Salads include tossed Kula greens, pohole salad, taro salad, tropical fruits, or a shrimp and crab salad—all mouthwatering delights. And of course they don’t forget Hawaiian specialties such as ahi poke (marinated raw ahi tuna)
or lomi lomi salmon (salmon pieces with tomatoes and onions), ever-present poi, and and banana bread.
If that’s not enough, desserts are lilikoi mousse in chocolate cups, Big Island macadamia nut tarts and haupia (coconut pudding).
Executive Chef Lyndon Honda has designed specialty menus for allergies and diets such as gluten and wheat free, preservative-free and vegan. Check out what everyone is talking about at the Old Lahaina Luau.
