Visit: Hale Hoaloha Luau at the Mauna Lani, 68-1400 Mauna Lani Dr, Waimea, Island of Hawaii, HI 96743-9726
The Hale Hoaloha Lūʻau is a celebration of the beauty and stories of the land area known as Kalāhuipuaʻa.
Considered the “piko” (center) of the majestic mountains of Haleakalā, Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualālai, the Mauna Lani is a special place to all who have the privilege of enjoying its beauty. Traditionally, lūʻaus are important family celebrations with a feast of favorite foods, sharing of moʻolelo (story telling), mele (music) and hula. Hale Hoaloha Lūʻau brings together all of these while sharing Mauna Laniʻs majestic history and the true essence of aloha, ʻohana (family) and kuleana (responsibility) with everyone in attendance.

This was a great experience. The food was excellent and the show was as well. It’s in a very nice setting. We did not choose the more expensive package with unlimited drinks and had no trouble seeing or enjoying the show. You get a lei and a welcome Mai Tai. You also get free valet parking at the hotel if you are not a guest. My only complaint is they take your picture at the beginning but want $25 to download a copy. I think that should be included as this is more expensive than the other luaus.

The fire segment and the part where the audience was invited in stage. What was annoying were the flies in the food. A better job could have been done to keep flies off the meat and fish dishes.

What an incredible performance! The dancers were very talented and in particular the dancer that did the fire dance was amazing. The whole night was an exhilarating experience!
We came early in the day to watch the chefs get the coals really hot and then wrap the emu in leaves before burying so it could cook all day. The roasted pig (emu) was our favorite part of the luau’s buffet.
We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and so we splurged on special seating in the front row. It was worth it!

This is a lovely luau. I’ve been to about four others over the years and this was my favorite. Fun games for the whole family before the meal, good food, generous drink service, and an amazing show post-dinner. The performers were excellent, as was the host. We upgraded to the ali’i experience and thought that was worth it for the front row seating and other perks. Beautiful way to end our stay on the big island.

This was such an exceptional experience!! The food was so delicious. My husband is on a pescatarian diet and there were plenty of fish and vegetarian dishes for him! We had our own personal table just with our family. The Luau show was amazing! Loved the story telling and background information prior to the dances. The fire dancer was spectacular.

From the moment we were greeted we felt the warm spirit of aloha. Excellent food and friendly customer service from the wait staff. Probably the best lu'au food I've ever had! The show was heartwarming and captivating. Performers were beautifully dressed and looked liked they were having lots of fun on stage. There wasn't a dull moment from start to finish. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike.

We had a lovely time at this luau. We purposely booked this one as it seemed the most intimate compared to ones closer to Kona. We were not disappointed. The venue was absolutely beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic and the show itself was beautifully curated. I would go every night if I could have. If you’re going to book a luau this is the one splurge a little more to book, it is well worth it.

This luau was great! Took our family amd it was very beautiful. It was intimate with about 80 guests. Food was amazing and dancers and host were great! Our kids also loved seeing the pig dug out of the ground. Bonus was we got bead leis so we can take them home to remember our fabulous time. Highly recommend this luau.
