About the Luau
THE SHOW
While most luaus feature Hawaiian food, hula dancing, and music, Luau Kalamaku offers an immersive journey that takes you back to ancient Polynesia. Set during the epic voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti, the show follows one of the longest sea routes in Polynesia. Through laughter, fear, seduction, and fire, a new legacy is created, born from the cherished traditions of the voyaging ancestors.

The show culminates in an incredible fire dream, showcasing fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing. In a dramatic finale, the fire goddess Pele, her sister Hiiaka, Lohiau the prince of Kauai, and the fire-breathing Moo-dragon women honor Kauai’s rich mythology.
