Myths of Maui luau

From beginning to end, the experience and the staff were amazing. So much culture, story telling and entertainment. It was a little hot when we arrived for vip entry but there was plenty of shade to escape the sun until the show. Our server Ash was very attentive and the dancers were all so talented. Special shout out to the MC and mahola for the birthday wishes and song. Would very much recommend to family and friends!

The Myths of Maui Luau was a fun experience overall. The show was great, and the hula dancers and singers were really talented. The fire dancing at the end was a big highlight. The venue was beautiful, especially with the ocean view during sunset. The food was just okay. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t very memorable either. For the price, I expected something a bit more flavorful. The check-in and seating process could be more organized. There was some confusion with people thinking we had taken their seats, even though we were in the right place. It would help if staff were more involved during seating to avoid these situations. Our server, whose name I forgot, was incredibly nice. He had long hair and a Japanese-sounding Hawaiian name. He was friendly, attentive, and really added a positive touch to the evening. Overall, I’d recommend the luau for the performances and atmosphere. Just lower your expectations a bit when it comes to the food and seating logistics.

We had a great time. I definitely would say the VIP tickets are worth it as you get to enter early, excellent seating. The food was pretty good, I did like that it was buffet style. The performance was really cool to watch and with the sunset in the background it really set the scene. I really enjoyed the option and opportunity of buying photos as this was a double date night for us.

VIP tickets are well worth it for priority seating, first in line for the buffet/open bar, and having your own table front row. Food was delicious!! Lots of options to choose from. Great bar selection as well. Finally the show with the rich history of Polynesian culture, the interactive MC, amazing dancing and fire show was next level. 5 stars all around!! It exceeded my expectations!!

The Luau was pretty. The dancers did a great job. The show was pretty good. The food was good. I felt a little rushed to eat. Going for seconds at the buffet was short. Not much food left, drinks were included but very sugary. Overall it was a good show, but lacked in the feeling and spirit of Hawaii. The kids were entertained and had a good time.

Wonderful service - we did VIP and got to be seated and eat before anyone. The waitress for the table was prompt and always available for drink orders and everyone was so professional. The food was good! The show was very good too, and such a beautiful ocean front view with the amazing sunset. A wonderful time.

The location was beautiful with an unforgettable sunset. The food was pretty good. Waiters helped a lot with the drinks. The show was really nice. My kids really enjoyed it. The only suggestion is to try to keep families together in the same table facing each other instead of facing strangers. That did not happen to us but happened to other people at other tables.

We purchased general admission instead of VIP. There were no bad seats. All had great view of the stage. I would advise go early to line up and the sooner you purchase tickets the better. Hence you have of getting a good seat. The chicken and macaroni was delicious. We didn’t care for the desserts. All cocktails included with admission. ( the good stuff no cheap liquor) the show was phenomenal ! I will visit Myths of Maui again.

This was a great experience. The buffet was delicious, and I always get worried with buffets, but this one was good. The pork was excellent and they cook it there traditionally. The bar is open, and they have non-alcoholic options as well. The show was funny, informative, and very entertaining. Highly recommend. The only thing I wish they did was provide an option to download a digital copy of the photo they take upon entry but other than that awesome.

I would only recommend this luau if you are okay with paying $200+ for the performance. The dancers and show was amazing and really saved the night. Unfortunately, the food was not great. Very similar to the Safeway hot foods section. There was not a lot of variety and just overall meh. Also, you only get a flower lei if you are vip, otherwise you get shells. For $200+ per person, flower leis should be included in the price, especially because the food was a huge let down. Lastly, they take your photo when you come in but you only get a physical copy for $20!! Disneyland is more affordable . I would only go again for that price if they make the food seriously better. The ABC store food was more flavorful and felt more authentic.

I enjoyed the Luau. I've never been to Hawaii, let alone to a luau, so I expected to eat good food, meet new people, and enjoy an entertaining show. All those aspects were met. I paid for VIP and sat right in front of the stage.

Everything was great! Food, location and entertainment was spot on! This was our highlight in Maui!

Myths of Maui Luau was an amazing experience. The staff were all very courteous and attentive. The show was great. There was continuous entertainment throughout the night. The buffet had several good food options and was kid friendly. The open bar had a lot of options. The view from the venue was amazing.

I'm not sure why people weren't pleased with this luau. It was fabulous. The food was great with a wonderful selection to fit any palate, but the show was incredible. The dancers were lovely and told their stories through their dances beautifully. The end, with the fire dancers was the pinnacle of the show. And our drinks were constantly being replenished so we wanted for nothing. It was a perfect night.

First things first - you'll get a buffet (AYCE) and open bar (AYCD). I think the food are drinks are decent! I think some people are a bit critical but they'll need to put things into perspective - this is for a show with good vibes (not a culinary experience). For food, you can the classics - pork, chicken, poke, mac & cheese, etc. You can see the rest of the menu on their website. The buffet line doesn't get too long since there are many rows to get food from. And getting seconds is really straightforward. For drinks, there is a bunch of variety. You can also purchase deluxe versions if you order off the menu. The bartenders are super fund. They encourage you to order two in a row, especially since the line can get long. Speaking of long, I suggest purchasing the VIP tickets. Coming in early definitely changes the experience. You get to sit up front and you can come in order and get your drinks in significantly before people show up. The show is super fun. You learn how to dance. You learn the chants. You can see dancing. You can see fire. Great vibes all around. One thing to mention, before sunset, you will be exposed in the sun. Be sure to bring sunglasses

Honestly, this was the worst food I've ever had at a luau! There wasn't very much food. The desserts were bland & terrible and it was just pretty tasteless. I was shocked that we paid $200 for food like this. The entertainment was OK but not that great. We were really ripped off. The hula dancers were heavy and not attractive. Even the fire dance was just ok. We noticed that some hotels will offer free fire dances at night for Hotel guests and they were much better than this one that we paid $200 for. What a joke.

Loved this luau! Food was good, service was great and I really enjoyed the entertainment. The atmosphere was superb with the most beautiful sunset. The dancer silhouette in front of the setting sun on the horizon was mesmerizing. The MC also had the most amazing voice, I could have listened to him all night long.

Great show! Singers, dancers and fire show. I was a little worried when we waited in line to get in and saw how many people were there but the food and bar lines moved fast and they did have servers running to clean plates or refill drink orders. It was in a beautiful setting too very well done show!

Excellent food and show. Highly recommend it. Loved the chicken and pork. The stories and dance were so entertaining and educational!

A few weeks back home and back to the grind, I find myself thinking fondly of the show at Myths of Maui. What was nice about this luau is that they have two stages and you are close to both of them. Other shows have you sitting all far away and the stage looks small so the more intimate feel here was nice. We lucked out and got these great seats right by the Oceanside stage and still had a great view of the main stage. Great music! The drummers were awesome! Beautiful costumes and most of all talented performers passionate about sharing their cultural heritage and back stories. There was a good variety of different styles of performance. They had a pig roast but we kind of missed out until they were almost done with it. It was kind of down-played. My favorite food items were on the cold buffet. Love octopus salad, you don't get that often. (Could have maybe used more desserts and would like to see more hot items like skewers and stuff). Thinking about my trip and this experience in particular has inspired me to have an end of summer "Hawaiian" theme night before school starts. Miss you, HI!

Food was horrible! I really thought the buffet was going to be good seeing that each ticket was $286 VIP. Even the 2 items they consider as "kid buffet" was horrible, it's basically very dried out chicken tenders and horrible Mac n cheese. We were all very disappointed. The only thing my kids were able to eat was the Hawaain bun and sprite! Not worth the price at all. If you go with a mindset that you are paying for the show and not the food you will be ok. Just eat before somewhere else. Performers were great. Also you will be eating out in the blazing hot sun so bring a hat, performance starts later around sunset.

This was a great experience. Best Luau on Maui we have been too. The food was great. It was fresh and warm. The drinks were great. The service was outstanding. I'd recommend this and go again.

I was there this past Sunday July 27 2025 I was looking forward to this but left dissatisfied and disappointed I would give 1.5 stars if available but not 2 stars food was old and only 1/2 available of what was advertised pork was old tasting (that's why they had bbq sauces available) Poi!? no where to be seen. the staple food and not available? c'mon!? poke was OK chicken was good if very oily chicken fingers for the kids was definitely old and reheated to point of rubbery. my kids wouldn't eat it and they eat everything. they shut the 1/2 buffet down really early desserts were old no chocolate lava cake as advertised I had a very watered down beer now the show Fire guys were great the stage needs some work (I'm a show production guy) it seemed to be missing pieces the lighting cues and performers were were not in synch (definitely a tech issue unless they are running on automated cues, then the performers need some rehearsal time with the stage techs) better off getting food from L&L and watching a free hula show somewhere Two thumbs down

Jordan made my night! Wow he was so fantastic definitely not boring! Made our night! Great guy! Thanks jordan! Great Luau great performance! Wonderful food! POG wow love pog

This was an amazing experience! The buffet was great and the entertainment was awesome. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something cool to do.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Food was SUBPAR at best. Show was not fascinating until the last 10 minutes. It was the MOST BORING 2 hours of my life. You would think the "experience" would have been worth it. Definitely not. A total LAME TOURIST TRAP with amateur fire poi and fire sticks. Save your money and go out to eat a nice restaurant. Buyers remorse is a real thing, and I'm feeling it after this dead pan experience. ALSO! The pig they advertise that is supposed to be brought out WAS NEVER BROUGHT OUT!!! I sat close to the buffet and was anticipating the rush I was sure to come for it. BUT, it never arrived. I've never been more disappointed, disrespected, and jipped in my life. Maybe this isn't how it's always been, but it was done this experience. I'm disappointed that I spent about $500, and this is the experience I received.

We attended the Myths of Maui Luau on July 26 and had an amazing time. Beautiful oceanfront setting, delicious buffet, and a fantastic show--with incredible dancing, music, and an epic fire performance. The staff was friendly and everything was well organized. Perfect for families or first-time visitors. Highly recommend!

Attending a Hawaiian luau is typically a magical experience filled with vibrant energy, cultural immersion, and breathtaking performances. Unfortunately, the luau I attended recently at Myths of Maui lacked the enthusiasm and dynamism that make these events so memorable. The setting itself was picturesque, with a stunning ocean backdrop and well-organized seating arrangements. The food was good enough for an all you can eat buffet with classic Hawaiian dishes like kalua pork and poke that were well-prepared--but the real letdown was the drinks and performance. I understand at an open bar you cannot use premium liquor, but the drinks tasted very cheap, tastes consistent with very low grade alcohol. The cocktails were not well-balanced and many of them overly sweet. The performance overall was hit or miss. The lack of engagement and enthusiasm from some the performers made it difficult to feel immersed in the experience. The fire spinning at the end of the show was the best part but was very short. If you're considering this luau, I recommend researching all available options before you decide if it's the right fit for you.

The show was incredible, the food was good and AYCE, and since we had VIP the drinks were all you can drink!! Enjoyed this, definitely worth it! Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed our time there

The Royal Lahaina Luau is probably my most visited luau on Maui. Was definitely always fun running into a neighbor that happened to be working or just someone I haven't seen in awhile. Its just one of those fun evening activities to take your friends & family to whenever they get to come visit. Since that sunset view is always gorgeous. Not to forget to mention you just hooked yourself up with some down time to relax, eat, drink & enjoy the show. Plus the fun & friendly atmosphere always makes me miss my dancing days way back in the day. Until next time. XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

Staff and service were excellent. Show was just ok. This was our third luau, and the least favorite show of the three. Regarding the food, pork was ok, chicken was dry. Did not try the Poke. Did not care for any of the three desert choices. Would not recommend. Rating a 3 due to staff. Otherwise would be 1 or 2.

The food was bad, very very low quality food, mahi-mahi coconut fish was so smelly, the kalua pork was okay, the poke was made from very low grade tuna, you can tell by the color of the fish, teryiaki chicken was hard to chew. The desserts were good, butter mochi cake was yummy, the drinks from the bar were a joke, almost zero alcohol. The Hula dancing was average. The ocean view is breathtaking at sunset. However, its not worth the prace for the bad food and drinks.

We had so much fun! Something that made an impact was that you could really sense that the performers were having a really good time together. They engaged so well with the audience and with each other. The food was very good, especially the tuna! I'd love to do this luau again with a large group. It's a great party atmosphere!

The luau was beautiful and picturesque! All of the staff were so nice and helpful, and the food and drinks were delicious. The flower lei's included were gorgeous too! The show was great, could've been a little longer, but overall a good value for the cost. Definitely recommend

My friend and I went to this Luau, we had a wonderful experience. The service was beyond our expectation, the Food was great the drinks and the ambiance was just perfect combination between relax/sunset and finishing with fire dancing. We met Mr Ford and had a pleasant conversation he seams to be very knowledgeable with every aspect of the show.

It seems these days that luaus are very expensive. Myths of Maui was $205 pp with fees and taxes. My wife and I sacrificed ourselves to the timeshare gods and saved $200. I really enjoyed the luau and the food was mostly very good. I was able to partake of some pakalolo and was feeling groovy. So, for $210 for 2, it was a great deal and the open bar was awesome.

great experience. everyone was extremely friendly. excellent food and show! the sun setting behind us was just so peaceful.

My family and I booked a reservation for the Myths of Maui luau a week prior to the event. We arrived at 5:00 PM and there was about five part is ahead of us, but the line quickly became pretty long shortly after. If you're reading this and this is your first time attending the Myths of Maui luau, I suggest you come at 5 o'clock so 1. You end up in front of the line and 2. you get yo wait in the shade. There is a VIP section which allows you to enter the venue before 530 and be seated at a nice shady spot. If I remember correctly, general seating was almost $200 per person, so I'm not sure how much VIP is. They were prompt on letting the guest in at 5:30 and we were all given fresh flower leis which added that extra Hawaiian spirit and culture. Before entering the venue, we were positioned by the palm trees with the ocean to our backs, and had our picture taken with a professional Nikon camera. Unfortunately, we were sat in a sunny area, but that was probably 90% of the non VIP parties. Once seated, you are able to either lineup to get your food, or lineup at the bar. By the way, the bar is an unlimited OPEN BAR and are allowed two drinks per order. The bartenders were super friendly, and made each drink with aloha. As for the drinks, I recommend you order the hula hawk, the Hana Hou, and Kaanapali sunset. All of the drinks tasted amazing and were absolute creepers so beware! The line to the food was across from the open bar. I loved that there were four lines to the self-serve buffet which made the lines go by super fast. Refer to my pictures for the food that I got, but I recommend the chicken, the macaroni salad, and the purple sweet potato. The chicken was packed with so much flavor, and it melted off the bone as if it were smoked. The Kalua pork was also tender, and tasted amazing as well- I had to go back for seconds! They played live Hawaiian music but unfortunately, we weren't able to see it because the band was located on the right side under a small hut. The festivities started around 6 o'clock, and went all the way to around eight. The hula dances were really nice to see, and also very peaceful and inviting. Each dance had its own story to tell which I thought was very meaningful. My favorite show, and probably everyone would agree was that fire dance show. The performer was super amazing and talented, and even engaged with the crowd. He stayed at the end of the show and took some pictures. I'm not sure if the other dancers stayed but he stayed until the entire crowd left the venue. Overall, I thought the entire experience was amazing despite being burnt while waiting. I wish they added some umbrellas for comfort during the sunny day and removed them during the shows. The entire staff did a superb job in assisting the guests! Parking was located up a small hill away from the actual venue and was about a five minute walk.

don't waste your money. Very expensive for a low quality buffet. The show wasn't bad but is nowhere near worth the amount I paid. Everything there is a scam to get them more money. For example we got our picture taken and to get the pictures that THEY took of us we had to pay $40 to get the in person and digital copy. At the bar you have to pay $20 for a special cup to get "free refills" and any virgin type of drink. at their store they have flower hates priced at $110. Unbelievable.

We have been to this Luau before Covid and had a great time. This time, we got a front row seat, however, the experience was not as we remembered in the past. The food is a dining room style spread. Honestly, it was ok at best. The show itself had toned down from the past. There were much less dancers and the dancers looked as if they had been picked out from a random crowd a week before. The musicians and the announcer was great but the show was pretty dissapointing. I think their recent wild fires are to blame and hope they recover. We will come back to support when you do.

A solid luau on Maui. There is general entrance and VIP entrance. The VIP guests are seated first in the front row. The general admission guests are seated in the second and third rows. I highly suggest getting in line 20-30 minutes before the gates open if you purchase general admission. Upon entering a server directs you to your table. The buffet and bar are first come first served. I have been to several luau's throughout the islands. This one is perfect for individuals with dietary restrictions including gluten free and vegetarian. The waitstaff were busy clearing tables and keeping the drinks flowing. The show included traditional Hawaiian music and performances from talented hula dancers. We enjoyed our experience. Only rated four stars because it does not stand out from any of the many luau's I've been to over the years.

The service was impeccable, they have the nicest staff. My family had a wonderful time. The unlimited food & drinks make plus the entertainment make the price worth it. We loved it!

We were very disappointed with this Luau. The food was sub par. The musicians were hiding behind a wall, we couldn't even see them perform and take part of the show with the dancers. We didn't even get a Lei flower necklace, $200 + per person we were expecting so much more.

The staff was respectful and the entertainment was wonderful! The food was good. The bar service was quick. . . no real wait. I lost preservation sunglasses and the Royal Lahaina staff kept them in security for me. All in all, a fun experience and nice evening!

So good!!!! What a fun experience for my whole family. Food was delicious. The drinks were fabulous and the show was absolutely fantastic!!!! Would highly recommend!!!

This was my first ever luau and I had a really fun time! It was about $160 per person after tax for general admission tickets so it is on the pricey end, however, I feel like it's an experience worth doing at least once while in Hawaii. The show itself was really fun and I enjoyed watching the hula dancers, however, I think after a while, a lot of the hula dances started to feel a bit redundant. My favorite part was definitely the fire dancer at the end and I was so impressed by him! There was only one fire dancer though so I wish there were more because I feel like it would've added to the experience. They offer all you can eat and drink here and the food is served buffet style. I came in with low expectations and not expecting much from the food, but I actually thought it was pretty good! I wasn't blown away by any of it but it was still really enjoyable and I felt like they had a decent amount of variety. Although I didn't have any alcoholic drinks, I heard from others that they're pretty strong which I was also surprised about. I did try a POG here and it was surprisingly the best that I had during my entire trip in Maui so I would definitely recommend trying that. The ambiance here is extremely nice; the show overlooks the ocean and we were able to catch sunset here which was so beautiful. Service was good and the waiters would come to our table and clear our plates pretty quickly. The line to the bar moves so slowly though so I'd recommend getting 2 drinks every time you go just to save time from having to wait in line. They charge $10 for parking and only take cash.

It was truly a standout experience. Having been to a few luaus before, I can confidently say the food selection and quality here were the best by far. The show took place right by the water during a breathtaking sunset, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and excitement. The performance was exceptional, telling captivating stories that were both entertaining and educational. One highlight was when they taught us how to dance hula--I had a blast watching my partner try his hand at it. The fire dancers were incredibly impressive and added an exhilarating element to the evening. The specialty drinks were also a hit--fun, creative, and delicious. Everyone at my table was having a great time, and I ended up making new friends that night. I highly recommend this luau for anyone looking for an exceptional experience:)

Food was not great, not terrible, but I definitely had better for the price we paid. So I also did not love my seat, booked early so should not have ahead a seat I the back.

We decided to go to this luau because it was the cheapest and I think you get what you pay for. The gates open at 5:15pm and we're let in at 5:30pm, but it's just a line after a line; one to get your ticket, one to wait for and get seated. Once we were in, we went straight to the bar and the bartenders were fast/the drinks were good. The food was also pretty good, it was buffet style and I enjoyed the stir fry vegetables and pork. I was really disappointed by the poi though, it was really watered down and although there was a variety of food, I didn't really think it was authentically Hawaiian. The show was pretty good and interactive with crowd, there were hula dancers and a fire show. I am sad because it was so short, maybe 2 hours end-to-end. If you want to go to a good luau, I would go to Wailea Luau at the Westin.

The food was pretty good, but the pork was a little dry. I was surprised when they uncovered the pig and said it would be available to eat. The only problem was that we had already gone through the food line and already eaten. They uncovered it during the first part of the entertainment. It was a little late don't you think? The server's worked very hard. They were very attentive to our needs. The drinks were very well made. The tables were very very close together and cramped. Since the temperature was around 81 degrees, there wasn't any airflow. It was impossible to enjoy the great drinks. I only took a couple of sips on my drink. The rest of the time I enjoyed cold water. The stage wasn't high enough for people sitting in the back to see. So it was very difficult to see the entertainment. The program was great, and we really enjoyed the fire dancers. They were fantastic!! Parking was very limited and we ended up parking in the very last row. Overall, we thought for the money, that it could have been much better. We remember going to the Old Lahaina Luau several years ago, and it was the best luau on Maui. It was more spacious and you could walk around and see all the crafts. The program started out with a party arriving from the ocean onto the shore. This Luau was not anywhere the quality of the past. I won't be recommending anyone to go to the Myths of Maui Luau unfortunately. This is why I rated it with only two stars.

Fantastic experience at the VIP level - first to be seated, photographed, serviced at the bar and buffet, front row seating. It's worth the extra money. The venue is immaculate and staff is overwhelmingly kind and courteous. The show is beautiful. The food is presented beautifully. Enjoy!

I was with my family and there was 11 of us, and we had a great time. Everyone was kind and beautiful! Our waiter was fantastic. The dancers and music was beautiful too! Loved it all. Maui is a beautiful Island with beautiful people all over. The traditions are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for a lovely time.

The word exceptional doesn't touch the surface of this experience. The MC, musicians, dancers and staff literally go above and beyond to make sure every guest is taken care of. I was awestruck by the ability of the dancers not only in their wonderful performances, but also in their ability to conduct costume changes so quickly and then go back out and conduct another intricate dance performance. This was worth the wait and worth the price. My family and I highly recommend this Luau on the Island of Maui.

Food was OK. Very disappointed in the pork as we thought that would be the star of the show. Just a normal buffet with nothing special. Waiter was sarcastic when we inquired about drinks. Show on the other hand was phenominal!. Great dancers and band. ​

After going to Chiefs in Oahu, which was phenomenal, my expectations were high for our second luau. Myths was flat, the MC was like an old Las Vegas speaker, the dancers were not energized or in sync at times. The only part that was worth the cost for ticket was the last 10 minutes of the fire dancing. Otherwise for a family of 5 paying almost $800, this luau was not worth it.

food quality and selection very poor Have been to many luau's including this one several times Disappointed and no value for the money Entertainment ok but not exceptional Will not return. We are staying at the Royal Lahaina as we have many times in the past

Great Show!! Loved the dancers and performance. Food was just ok. Service was very good.
