Great location and good food and entertainment. We had seating on the floor pillows right in front of the stage which was very good for pictures etc. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Very interesting to watch how they cook and dig up the pig. Interesting to taste some of the native dishes. The show was great... More

We love this luau because it feels so much more authentic than others on the island. It is always booked, so if you are wanting to go, it's best to make your reservations before you even get to Maui.

We were treated to a beautiful evening as far as the weather goes and were very excited about this Luau, but ended up being very disappointed. The food was a buffet style and wasn't very good or creative. The service was spotty as we sat at a large table with strangers (emphasise on strange)! Also, they promote the open bar... More

Excellent for entertainment and an experience. The cocktails were more sugar than alcohol.

Liked all you can drink drinks, sunset right beside you, all the different outfits of the dancers. Everyone dressed up so it was really an occasion. Cost me a bit $99, but quite high quality :)

Llocation very appropriate for a Luau. Greeted with a lei and a Mai Tai. Several cultual demonstrations on grounds before the meal. Food was good. The show was okay but I had seen another show that I liked better. Given small loaf of banana nut bread when leaving. Felt we got our moneys worth.

This was our 3rd visit to the Old Lahaina Luau, and have enjoyed each visit. The food is plentiful and delicious - HIGHLY recommend the Kalua pork. The Mai Tai's flow freely and the show is truly the best in all of Hawaii. It is an all traditional Hawaiian Luau, so don't expect the fire knife dancers that Polynesian Luaus... More

Luau was a nice relaxing evening with great food, plentiful drinks and beautiful sunset. I would of liked to see more Hawaiian dancing and less Tahitian, but I think they keep it going because people who have not studied the culture or dance might be a bit bored......I would of liked a longer show but it was still a worthwhile...

One of the best Luau choices. The show is good though no fire dancers. The food very good though drinks terribly weak. Order beer.

Food is a good mix of traditional Hawaiian fare and there is plenty of it. Book Early, we called on a wednesday and couldn't get in until the following Monday. Go with the traditional seating if its available, its right next to the stage and you can spread out a little more than the table and chairs option. Staff is... More
