The luau is held at the beautiful Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection at Kalāhuipuaʻa, which is a historical area where ancient Hawaiians mastered the art of aquaculture and where King Kamehameha came to recuperate and work in the fishponds. Guests are welcomed with a traditional Oli (chant) in preparation for preliminary activities with the cast. After the activities, watch as the pig is taken out of the traditional imu pit before it is prepared for the Hawaiian buffet. The program is capped off by a performance of traditional and modern Hula dances, along with the spectacular Samoan Siva Afi (fire knife dance).

A: No age limit at all! The luau is family-friendly and kids will definitely enjoy the activities and performances. It's a great way to introduce them to Hawaiian culture, plus there’s a buffet that has options for all ages. Just keep an eye on them during the fire knife dance; it can get pretty intense!

Q: How do we get to the Mauna Lani for the luau? Is parking easy?

A: Getting to Mauna Lani is pretty straightforward! There's valet parking included, which makes it super easy. Just plan to arrive a bit early—maybe 30 minutes before starting time—to find the best parking spot and enjoy the welcome activities. Plus, the area is stunning, so it’s nice to take some pics!

Q: What should I wear to the luau? Is it casual or more formal?

Just went to the Hale Hoaloha Luau—such a blast!

I recently attended the Hale Hoaloha Luau at the Mauna Lani and WOW, it was incredible! The setting is gorgeous, and witnessing the pig being taken out of the imu was definitely a highlight. The buffet had so many options, and the hula performances were mesmerizing. The fire knife dance was super exciting too! If you're considering it as a gift, I can't recommend it enough!

Thinking of gifting the Luau experience—need advice!

I'm considering gifting the Hale Hoaloha Luau for my parent's anniversary. They love Hawaii and I think this would be perfect! But I’m a bit nervous about the whole experience. How’s the seating? Is it really worth the price?
