Highlights

Your journey begins in the early evening at Kauai’s Kilohana Plantation with craft demonstrations and Hawaiian games. You’ll have the option to ride on the Kauai Plantation Railway (additional cost), the first new railroad built in Kauai in nearly 100 years.\n\nThen, witness a traditional imu ceremony, where one of your main courses (pork) is unearthed from an underground oven. You can also order some yummy tropical drinks at the bar (own expense). \n\nYou’ll then be treated to a scrumptious buffet dinner of lomi-lomi salmon, pork, ono and teriyaki chicken with vegetables and salads. Top it off with some fresh tropical fruit and dessert.\n\nAfter dinner, head to your seats in the Luau Pavilion and watch a colorful performance of traditional Polynesian dancers, fire twirlers and knife dancers. Watch as they paint a vivid story of the journey of the first Tahitian voyagers to the Hawaiian Islands, displaying their hardship, drama and finally triumph. Sit back, relax and become immersed in the state-of-the-art media system and stage design.\n\nAt the end of the show, you’ll have the opportunity to take photos with the cast!\n\nPoints of Interest\n\n- 3-2087 Kaumualii Hwy

Additional Information

Luau Kalamaku has been a welcoming hub for tourists in Kauai since 2007. Known as the only Hawaii luau presentation executed “in-the-round,” it ensures the stage is viewable from all angles. Experience the miraculous extraction of the pig from the customary imu (underground oven) along with the fun of a hula lesson. Visit the craft exhibition showcasting remarkable creations by local craftsmen on the extensive lawn. Relish a variety of delectables from the buffet, that offers local and well-known dishes, and sip a Mai Tai from the bar. The main performance elucidates the fascinating tale of the ancient Hawaiian lore of Kalamaku, ‘offspring of the new territory.’ With a combination of amusement, fright, allure, and fire, a fresh heritage is born, inheriting the priceless characteristics of their forefathers. The drama-based luau spectacle concludes with an outstanding fire dream, featuring fire poi balls and customary fire knife dancing.

Great show - The show was beautiful. I was disappointed with the food though and I'm not picky. I've been to other luau's and expected more diversity, I was hoping to eat laulau

Fun for the whole family. - Fun evening for our family. Authentic Hawaiian foods. Admission included open bar. Some local artist were onsite prior to the start of the luau so we could pick up some local souvenirs. They also take photos for purchase. The cost was actually reasonable. The show was colorful, energetic, and simply cool. Would highly recommend this show.

A Must Experience - I’ve been to many Luau’s, this was by far THE BEST. Atmosphere, food, friendliness, vendors, and amazing performance by dancers and story tellers. A must see.

Not a lot of value in dinner - Food was average. Only 1 roll per person . Not a lot of salad or dressing. Plates were not full size dinner plates. Fish and fruit were best.

Food should have been significantly better - The show was fantastic, but the food was mediocre at best (some items were just bad). The fruit was surprisingly flavorless...like it had been picked to early, and the desert options were minimal. Having experienced other luaus, I was realy disappointed considering the cost.
