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. Vacationers attend this luau for two reasons - they are not familiar with the luau choices and are steered here by activity agents, or they want to attend a luau that doesn't blow their vacation budget.
Myths of Maui Show
This was the first luau we attended on Maui many years ago, and we had a great time.
The evening began with a ceremony where a roasted pig is removed from an imu - an underground rock and sand oven. The Myths of Maui show includes traditional Hawaiian, Tahitian and Samoan dances. The dancers are satisfactory, but not at the level of dancers at other luaus we have attended. We enjoyed the Samoan fire knife dancers in the finale.
The host asked a lot for persons celebrating anniversaries and birthdays, so that they could be recognized. This part was slow for us - we came to see a luau.
Royal Lahaina Luau Price and SchedulePrice moves around a lot with the Royal Lahaina luau. They usually have a special where you get one child (under 12) free with each paid adult.A ballpark price is $59 for adults and $24 for children. That adds up to the most inexpensive luau on Maui. And it's nice to pay a reasonable price for a child that just wants a familiar hot dog or macaroni and cheese. 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.
