Free Maui Hula Shows - KaanapaliThis show has everything we like - a outdoor but protected setting, close up seating and good sound acoustics, professional quality dancers and musical accompaniment that approaches the quality of a Maui luau. Watch my video at the bottom of this page - this is an energetic show with a talented group of dancers.
Whalers Village at Kaanapali
The free Maui hula show is held at just after sunset in Whalers Village.
Center stage is an open air performance court with trees and grass right in the middle of shopping. The motivation for the mall to provide a free show is that you might also make some purchases at the stores. If this turned out to be a amateurish production, the rest of the family was poised to sprint for the stores. But the show was outstanding and they didn't bolt for the shops until after the grand finale.

Whalers Village ParkingParking is an issue if you are not staying at Kaanapali. There is paid parking (3 free hours with a $15 purchase at any store) just to the right (north) of Whalers Village.
But we got lucky and found one empty space in the free parking spaces in a lot just to the left (south) of Whalers Village - look for the blue Shoreline Access sign.
NearbyKaanapali Beach is just a few steps away through the shopping area. After the free show is a good time to go upstairs and visit the free Whalers Village Museum - they're open until 10PM.Free Maui Hula Show VideoThis free Maui hula show video of the Tahitian Dance show at Whalers Village communicates the excitement and energy of this show.Click on the PLAY button in the image below to view the video.

We arrived at a popular time - sunset - and searched in vain for an empty space in the paid lot before giving up and exiting the lot.
You have to be careful in this lot - you can only use a few spaces that have BEACH PARKING painted on the asphalt. Some of these spaces are intermingled with reserved spaces - that's how we found ours.
