The approximate time of arrival at the luau is between 5:00-6:00 PM, depending on traffic and other unforeseen delays. When you call in, we'll schedule your pickup and provide you the exact pickup location to wait and time. We operate a consolidated pickup schedule which may necessitate that we pick you up at the location nearest to where you are staying.

What To Expect
Treat yourself and your special someone to a memorable night of gourmet island cuisine and a luau extravaganza. Depending on the transport option selected, you’ll either be picked up at your hotel or make your own way to the historic Kilohana Plantation, where you’ll be greeted with a flower lei and glass of sparkling wine. Settle in among the elegant surroundings at Gaylord’s Restaurant and enjoy a four-course meal of fresh Hawaiian fare. (See Itinerary below for a sample menu.)
After dinner, you’ll have time to wander the historic plantation home, which has been lovingly repurposed as a boutique shopping and dining destination. Browse unique galleries and shops, visit the Koloa Rum Company, or stop in at the atmospheric Mango Bar for a tropical cocktail if you like (own expense).
Follow torch-lit paths to the state-of-the-art Luau Pavilion and take your premier seat for some of the best views in the house. Sit back and relax as the talented performers of Luau Kalamaku interpret the history of the first Tahitian voyage to the Hawaiian Islands. Flame twirlers, knife dancers and traditional Polynesian hula dancers bring this epic tale to life with a mesmerizing production, accompanied by traditional drummers and other musicians.

Wonderful experience
Denise_S, Aug 2023
Our VIP dining experience was great! The 4 course meal was delicious and our Plantation owner Host, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and attentive.
We also had wonderful seats for the show. We enjoyed the whole experience.
Good show, disappointing meal
Wendy_R, Aug 2023
The show was great, but the food (we did not get to choose from the menu but were rather given just 2 options) was disappointingly average, which made the entire experience way overpriced.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the show. We are sorry to hear that the dining experience did not meet your expectations. Your input is valuable to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Mahalo!
Great culinary and cultural experience!
Tom_N, Jul 2023
The performance was excellent and highlighted Hawaii’s culture and history. Dinner in the plantation house was also wonderful and worth the added investment. Our whole family had a great time.
Exceptional Luau and dinner
Ashley_S, Jul 2023
This was the BEST Luau I have been too. The story was excellent and the performers were exemplary. Everything from the shuttle to get to and from the show and the exceptional drivers, to the food at dinner inside the plantation before the show, the beautiful Lei’s, the drinks, and the Luau exceeded our every expectation. I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone traveling to the island of Kauai. 10/10 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️… BRAVA..!!!!!!
Great show
Laura_R, Jun 2023
We loved the sit down dinner four course meal and show but for the price I wish we had open bar at dinner and maybe fans or AC during g the show. It was pretty warm in the pavilion. The dancers were amazing and the fire guys were awesome.
Great Show - Recommend for Large Luau
Wendy_S, Jun 2023
We did the Plantation owner’s Dinner and had a great time. There were some hiccups (we did not choose the pickup from hotel option but they showed up anyway, had to ask for the leis when we didn’t get them at dinner - twice - and manager wasn’t especially friendly about it) but we had an overall good experience otherwise. Dinner was fine but being able to sit in front for the show was fantastic, especially for our young daughter. Loved the dancers/performers (great show production) and enjoyed the story of the history of the journey to Hawaii. The performers definitely gave it their all!
The whole show was very...
monique_t, May 2023
The whole show was very nice and entertaining we enjoyed every moment of the show from the beginning to the the end it's is a must see if you visit Kauai island
Luau POE
Diane_E, May 2023
The show was great. That, sadly, was the only good redeeming thing. Plated dinner was awful despite good waitstaff/service and they cancelled transportation providing minimal partial refund that didn’t even cover Uber one way let alone round trip.
Response from Host, May 2023
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the main performance. Thank you for posting your feedback on the experience. Mahalo!
