The 60-minute show features some of the world’s best cirque artists from Mongolia, Chile, Peru, Brazil, the West and East Coast and our beautiful State of Hawaii. Performances include everything from aerial acrobatics 33-feet above ground, spine-bending contortion, rhythmic dance routines, traditional Hawaiian chants to tests of balance and conditioning that push the human body to its limits. Cirque Polynesia is performed six nights a week at the outdoor Maui Moon Theatre only at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa.

The good news is this show was fabulous! I was a little concerned showing up in a hotel parking lot that had a fenced in area. And I was also surprised that we were sitting on plastic picnic chairs. There were less than 100 seats, and the difference between VIP seating and premium was a five foot gap. So don't... More

While it is not as big or complete a performance as Cirque du Soleil usually is, it IS worth the money. Very interesting and entertaining. I wholly recommend this.

My wife and I got to see the Cirque Polynesia show in early December. We used two Groupons that we had bought a couple months before going to Maui. The show is set in an open air theater, so thankfully it was not raining. Not sure what their policy is if it rains. The seating is in plastic patio type... More

We attended this show in October 2011. It's held in the parking lot of the Hyatt. The staff and performers were very friendly and met the audience after the show. Our particular show (Monday evening) maybe had 30 or so people in the crowd. We did not buy the VIP seats and truthfully, no one needs to. I think the... More

I expected a little more that I am a "cirque" fan. I know that this is no Vegas, but I expected a more elaborate stage with some one of a kind performances. Would recommend that you save your money on this one. I did get a few laughs.

My husband, 10 yr old son and I attended this show. Luckily we didn't waste money on VIP seats. This is a sad high schoolish production. Setting was dissappointing: plastic chairs on a walled off tennis court. Refreshments are overpriced so be prepared. Acts must have changed from earlier postings as there was little to keep your attention. Performers looked... More

My wife and I are Cirque Du Soleil fans and see shows whenever we can, I personally have seen 14 all over the world. So when we were staying at the Hayatt Regency in Maui and saw the show was playing there we knew we had to go. Now it is not a Cirque Du Soleil produced show but delivered... More

Overall, a good show. My 7 year old enjoyed it and sat through the whole thing. Not necessarily Cirque de Sole level, but still enjoyable. The clown is very funny. A good way to spend an evening.

Wow - we didn't know what to expect as there seemed not to be a lot of information promoting this (comparing to many activities and shows). We really didn't know what to expect but it was truly a great show and definately worth going to. The performers were outstanding, and yes the vocalist was supurb. We had an excellent evening...

Our family went to the Cirque Polynesia in Lahina Maui on Aug 3, 2011. It was outstanding family entertainment. The hula girl that was also the singer had an amazing voice. She could easily be a front runner on American Idol. Lots of hidden talent in Hawaii. We will see this show again on our next trip next year
