FAQ
Do I have to book in advance, and how does seating work?
Yes, advance booking is required, and this luau usually sells out.
1 round table currently fits up to 8-11 people, and parties will generally be seated with other parties (unless your party fills up a table). All seating is with tables & chairs.
Groups of up to 12 people can generally be seated altogether (and parties of 9-12 usually end up getting their own table). If you have a larger party, it is suggested to make a note at checkout how you would like to be broken up (please assume 11 max per table).
While submitting as one booking is recommended, if you do book separately, please make sure to answer the question at checkout about Associated Bookings so your bookings are linked together.
After completing your booking here, you will get an email (usually instant) with all the confirmation details, and you can just check in under your name (no printed tickets or vouchers required).
You will not receive specific seats listed in your confirmation email, although your seats will be assigned based on how early you book. The staff will lead you to your assigned table upon check-in.
Is gratuity included?
Yes.
Do the fire knife dancers actually use knives?
Although the "fire knife dance" is steeped in ancient Samoan tradition where sharp knives were used by Samoan warriors to demonstrate their battle prowess, today in Hawaiian luaus the performers typically use wooden or metal staffs rather than knives. But it is still thrilling (and dangerous)!
Is it ADA Accessible?
Yes
What if it rains?
Although Kaanapali Beach is located on the generally dry side of Maui, in the case of rain in the forecast, the luau will adjust seating so everyone is covered by the pavilion overhang and reduce overall capacity accordingly. In the rare case of a storm or other circumstance where the luau is cancelled, you would be contacted in advance to reschedule or be refunded.
