Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids? I wanna bring my 8-year-old with me.

A: Great question! There’s no specific age limit, but they do recommend that kids be able to sit through the dinner and participate in some of the activities. It’s a really hands-on experience, so if your 8-year-old is adventurous and enjoys trying new foods, they’ll likely love it! Just keep in mind that it can be a bit long, so maybe bring a little something to keep them entertained if they get restless.

Q: What should I wear to this dinner? Is it outdoors?

A: You’ll definitely want to dress comfortably! The dinner is generally outdoors, so breathable fabrics are a good idea. Think casual summer attire, like shorts and a light shirt. Don’t forget good sandals or shoes for moving around the coconut grove! It can get a bit breezy in the evening, so a light sweater might be nice, too.

Q: I heard the food is amazing! What dishes do they serve?

A: You’re in for a treat! They typically serve traditional Hawaiian dishes like poke, laulau, and poi. Plus, there’s always something fresh and seasonal from the area. The coconut is a big part of the meal, too—they’ll actually show you how they prepare it! If you have dietary restrictions, just let them know ahead of time; they’re pretty accommodating.

Thinking of gifting the Hawaiian Dinner Pa'ina – Any tips?

So, I’m considering getting this experience for my parents' anniversary while they’re in Maui. It sounds so authentic! I love that they get to learn about the culture and enjoy a home-cooked meal. Has anyone done this? What was the vibe like? Would it be okay for older adults? Just wanna make sure it’s a hit for them!

Just booked the Hawaiian Dinner Pa'ina! Can’t wait!

I just snagged tickets for the Hawaiian Dinner Pa'ina at Coconut Grove Hana! I’m super excited! I've heard the coconut activity is really fun, and I'm ready to dive into some fresh poke. Has anyone else experienced it recently? Any recommendations on what to expect?
