We have been to a few luaus. This one was really not up to par. Although the food was good the show itself was a disappointment. The way the room is arranged you can’t see the main stage. Really there isn’t a main stage. Part of the fun is seeing everyone dancing together. Although it’s a little less expensive I’d spend the extra money and get a real show. The price we paid was not worthy of the performance.
Enjoyable easy evening.

Response from Host , May 2022
Mahalo for choosing Huaka'i Luau, Remon. We're sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. Our drinks are made fresh and with premium ingredients, so we apologize if you found them to be watery or unsatisfactory. The staff is here to provide a good time for all of our guests and we're sorry if their attitude did not reflect that. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future should your travels bring you back to Hawaii.
Disappointed

This was my first luau, I paid VIP and all I got was a flower, no leis, terrible view, my videos were dark I was sitting way up high. It was not in the beach. The only thing I liked was the man with fire. NOT worth my money
Response from Host , May 2022
Sandra, Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we are located at Ma'alea Harbor, next to the world-famous Maui Ocean Center. Therefore, we are not on a beach as you mentioned. We are sorry that your videos did not come out...the show remains dark with our lighting on the performers for ambiance and quality of the show.

Had to wait in the rain...

Had to wait in the rain too long. Food was good. Nice that we were under cover. Dancers were excellent. Had to miss the fire segment due to fussy baby.
Response from Host , May 2022
Thank you, Jill, for coming to Huakai Luau Maui. We are located at the award winning Seascape Restaurant at Maui Ocean Center, so we are fortunate to be the only luau in an enclosed area... nice when the rain comes.
We are sorry that you had to wait a little too long in the rain, while we were setting up. We do our best to accommodate during inclement weather for all of our Maui Luau guests.
So great that you enjoyed the food and the Maui Hula dancers. Again, sorry you missed the Fire Dancers segment. We appreciate your business and thankful you came to enjoy our family run business, Huakai Luau Maui - Journey Through Polynesia.
Vip treatment was awesome...

Mahalo nui loa, Diana for choosing Huakai Luau Maui as your place to celebrate your family's story and history. We are so glad that you enjoyed the VIP treatment and our best seats in the house! Our dancers strive to create an unforgettable experience for each and every one of our guests and it sounds like they succeeded! We hope you will visit us again soon!
As a family owned business, we appreciate your review and let your friends know about the best luau near Kihei, Huakai Luau Maui- Journey Through Polynesia.
Very exceptionnal!

Response from Host , Apr. 2022
Mahalo for taking the time to review your experience with Huakai Luau Maui at Maalaea Harbor! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time and we're excited to have been a part of our luau in Maui.
We are a Luau near Kihei and Luau near Kaanapali Beach, Maui. Thank you for highlighting our show, band, and dancers as well as mentioning how courteous our staff were. We take pride in being able to provide an exceptional experience every day and it's great that this translated into such a positive review. If there is anything else we can do for you in the future please don't hesitate to reach out via phone or email - we look forward to hearing from you again soon!
We left early

This luau was a huge disappointment, starting with the fact that it takes place inside of a restaurant while the picture on viator shows a fire dancing man on the beach. The food quality was horrible. Even our kids did not want to eat the food. It was all such a disappointment that we decided to leave before it was even over and we spent more money having to buy food for dinner. Maybe it would have gotten better if we stayed. But, we were hungry!
Response from Host , Apr. 2022
Thank you for your feedback Kerry. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the food and our fire dancer.
We do have a beautiful waterfront location at the world famous Maui Ocean Ocean, and we also provide a dining experience inside of the restaurant so guests can enjoy a full course meal while watching an authentic Hawaiian show. We are sorry if this was not what you expected or hoped for during your visit.
It was family friendly....

It was a wonderful night , the performers were amazing. The price was a a little steep as the food was just ok. The process felt like a cafeteria.
Response from Host , Mar. 2022
Hi Jackie, thank you for your feedback for Huakai Maui Luau. We're sorry to hear that the food was not what you were expecting. Our goal is to provide a memorable experience and we hope that the performers made up for it!
We are happy you enjoyed the night overall and appreciate your candid review--it's always helpful in improving our business. If there's anything we can do to make your next visit better please let us know!

Lovely Family Evening

My 5 & 1 yr old loved it! We had the VIP package w/great seats. Very Hospitable and attentive staff, decent food, great music! I thought 2 hours was perfect. The indoor setting with an outdoor feel was wonderful! The backdrop was breathtaking and I appreciated being out of the elements but still able to feel the salty ocean air. I also felt the show was as authentic as one could be, with an actual Polynesian family singing songs they wrote and sharing their ancestor’s journey.
The only downer for me is that I honestly would have enjoyed it more & given it 5 stars had it not been so costly. When you pay $516 for 2 adults & a child, you too may find yourself scrutinizing everything for value rather than just kicking back & enjoying for 2 hours. In the end, I will say the event was lovely. I have no regrets booking but would not feel confident in recommending to friends or family due to the cost & overall value involved. FYI: for introverts or shy folks, you may find yourself feeling like a fish out of water for about 5 minutes when they ask lovers/couples to stand up for a dance together. We did not feel comfortable, but also did not feel pressured to join in if we chose not to.
I give it a solid 4 stars because it was lovely, met overall expectations for food and entertainment, and had my kids clapping along with big smiles the entire time.
Response from Host , Mar. 2022
Thank you for taking the time to review Huakai Maui Luau. We are happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the event!
We are sorry to hear that our pricing was not in alignment with what you would have liked. The price of a luau is influenced by many factors, including food costs, staffing, venue rental fees, etc., but we do try to offer value when it comes to our Maui Luau.
Our performers are all members of our local Hawaiian family who have been performing together since they were kids and their love of music is contagious. They perform songs written by them as well as songs from Hawaiian culture in order to share their ancestral journey with us through song, dance, fire knife and luau performance.
I hope this helps answer any questions or concerns about pricing as well as gives some insight into why we charge what we do. Many thanks for attending!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
