Description

Experience Kauai’s most captivating luau, Luau Kalamaku! Set against the stunning backdrop of the historic Kilohana Plantation in Lihue, this unforgettable evening immerses you in Hawaiian culture with a dynamic, theatrical performance that tells the story of island ancestors through hula, fire dancing, and powerful music. Enjoy an authentic Hawaiian feast featuring succulent roasted pig, local dishes, and tropical drinks. As the sun sets, prepare to be enchanted by the spectacle of dancers twirling fire and performers sharing the spirit of aloha.

Choose from the Hawaiian Package and Gold Package, each available in four variations: the luau experience itself, options with round-trip transportation or the scenic train ride aboard the Plantation Railway, and those that include both the scenic train ride and round-trip transportation. This flexibility allows you to customize your evening to fit your adventure perfectly.

The luau brings to life the story of the ancient Polynesians who voyaged across the Pacific to settle in Hawaii. At the heart of the story, Kalamaku, a child of the new land, carries the fiery torch of one family’s future. The show follows their daring adventure as they leave their homeland, navigate through vast oceans guided by the stars, and face challenges before finding their new home in the Hawaiian Islands. Luau Kalamaku features a state-of-the-art media system and an interactive stage design that will transport you to ancient Polynesia during the time of their remarkable migration to the islands.

Come early to stroll the plantation’s tropical grounds or walk through the craft fair and view the locally-made crafts.

Luau Kalamaku is perfect for couples, families, and anyone seeking a true Hawaiian experience. Book your tickets today for an evening filled with culture, entertainment, and island flavors!
