About the Luau
THE SHOW
Lu’au Kalamaku is more than just a traditional luau—it’s a captivating journey that transports you to ancient Polynesia. While you’ll enjoy delicious Hawaiian food, an imu unveiling, Tahitian rhythms, live music, and traditional hula dancing, the true magic of this experience lies in its immersive storytelling.

The show culminates with a breathtaking fire dream, featuring fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing. In the climax, Pele, the fire goddess, her sister Hiiaka, Lohiau the prince of Kauai, and the fire-breathing Moo-dragon women bring Kauai’s rich mythology to life.
