The 60-acre orchard and agricultural park of the Kilohana Plantation set the perfect setting for one of the most popular luaus on Kauai. The Luau Kalamaku is known for its immersive theatrical show that tells the story of a family’s migration over the long ocean passage from Tahiti to Hawai’i. With many different package offerings to choose from, this luau features a fantastic open bar, artisan craft fair, traditional Hawaiian buffet, imu ceremony, hula dancing, torch lighting, Tahitian drumming, and an exciting fire show. Our VIP package offers an enjoyable four-course dinner, champagne toast, live entertainment, and premiere seating at the theatrical show. Come to stimulate all of your senses and create memories to last a lifetime.
An Incredible Show With Great Stories
The Lu’au Kalamaku stands apart from other luaus with the interactive stage design and state-of-the-art media system that we use to set the scene for the great Polynesian voyage to these islands. Our theatrical luau will take you along one of the longest sea roads of Polynesia, between Tahiti and Hawaii, and have you at the edge of your seat! Experience the mythology of Kauai through a family’s story of courage and vision as they navigate far over the seas into the unknown. Pele, the fire goddess, rears her head as the show reaches a blazing finale of fire poi and fire knife dancing. Visit the Kilohana Plantation shops before the show begins for Hawaiian souvenirs and artisan crafts.
