Complimentary Roundtrip Shuttle Service: Stress-free transportation is provided from designated Kauai hotel locations, with professional drivers ensuring timely pickup and comfortable return to your accommodation after the evening concludes. Guests should confirm their specific pickup location and time at least 24 hours before their scheduled luau date, as hotels typically require pickups at designated areas on or near the property.
