Old Lahaina Luau
Everyone asks me what is the best luau on the island! Well, the consensus is the Old Lahaina Luau which is located at 1251 Front Street in Lahaina behind the Lahaina Cannery Mall right on the ocean. What sets the Old Lahaina Luau apart from all of the others? For one, it's the location right on the ocean, and it's setting. The Old Lahaina Luau built it's own venue which gives a more authentic polynesian village feeling (versus the other luaus which are in hotel settings). Then I think it's the quality of the dancers which is none other than fabulous! The food is authentic luau food and their hospitality is unmatched.
The one thing that the Old Lahaina Luau does not have that most visitors assume it does is the fire-knife dancing. Fire Knife Dancing is orginally from Samoa and the Old Lahaina Luau tries to stay along the more traditional Hawaiian style (although they do have alot of the exciting Tahitian dancing in their show).
They offer two kinds of seating at the Old Lahaina Luau--traditional style seating which is down in the very front row, sitting on pillows at tables, and the regular table/chair seating.
The most important point for prospective Old Lahaina Luau goers to know is that the Old Lahaina Luau sometimes sells out more than one month in advance, especially during the summer months so booking way in advance is strongly recommended.
