Kaanapali Hotel Luaus Hyatt Westin Royal Lahaina Sheraton Maui Luau Review - Royal Lahaina LuauThis is the longest running luau at Kaanapali, so there is definitely a demand for a luau that is wallet friendly. If you want to attend an inexpensive luau that doesn't blow your vacation budget, this is the luau for you. This was the first luau we attended on Maui with our two daughters many years ago, and we had a great time.
Myths of Maui ShowThe evening began with a ceremony where a roasted pig is removed from an imu - an underground rock and sand oven.
This part was slow for me, but our duaghers loved going up on the stage and learning the hula - that's the dilemma of audience participation segments at luaus. The host also asked for persons celebrating anniversaries and birthdays, so that they could be recognized. The Myths of Maui show includes traditional Hawaiian, Tahitian and Samoan dances. The dancers are satisfactory, and we enjoyed the Samoan fire knife dancers in the finale.
Royal Lahaina Luau Cost and Schedule
The standard Royal Lahaina luau cost is around $95 for adults and $47 for children under 12. It's nice to pay a reasonable price for a child that just wants a familiar hot dog or macaroni and cheese.
But the Royal Lahaina Luau often offers specials that makes them the most inexpensive luau on Maui.
Not all websites list these discounts. The Royal Lahaina Luau Shedule. Unlike some luaus which are held a few nights a week, this show is offered every night except Saturday.
Location and ParkingThe Myths of Magic show is held on an oceanfront location between the Royal Lahaina Resort and Kaanapali Beach. The Royal Lahaina Resort is on the opposite side (north) of Black Rock than the main group of Kaanapali Hotels.So unless you are staying at the Royal Lahaina Resort, this luau is not the easy walk like you have with the other Kaanapali hotel luaus. There is free parking available.
We waited in a long line before entering - the cause of the entry delay was the common practice of taking a family luau portrait (we liked the free tiny shell lei!), which we found on the display board at the end of the show and purchased - the best luau portrait we have.
Royal Lahaina Resort Luau MenuThe average Hawaiian luau food is available buffet style (once again a long line), but our youngest daughter preferred the keiki (children) buffet where she got to eat more familiar kid foods. We were ok with the seating, but the plastic chairs in long rows of plastic covered tables bothered some people.

Because the Royal Lahaina luau is more of a family show, there was also an audience participation segment, where our daughters joined a group on the stage to learn some hula moves while we sat back and enjoyed the evening.
A lot of vacationers attend this show.
