My Maui luau review of the Marriott Maui Luau in Wailea (south Maui) includes details of the luau location, show, cost, schedule, menu, pictures and video. You can even link out to read more or buy tickets if you decide to attend this show.
This luau is held almost on the beach - the ocean view is perfect for the show, which is timed with the setting sun to provide a colorful natural background. And when the sun is down, there is an exciting fire knife dancer finale.
If you are staying in south Maui, this luau can save you an hour of driving time to the Kaanapali and Lahaina luaus.
Wailea Marriott Maui Luau Show
The luau show program notes from the production company:
Honua'ula (Return to the Sacred Lands) takes us back to a time when the mighty seafaring Polynesians discovered this land of Hawaii, thereafter calling themselves Hawaiian.
It touches upon the documented voyages of La'amaikahiki and Moikeha who first came to this sacred island we call Maui, specifically this area named Honua'ula.
It speaks of gods and goddesses that watched over these courageous people and how they were able to co-exist and live in harmony.
These stories combined create an exciting evening of
traditional chant and hula bringing the history of our island home Maui, to life.
Hele Mai, come and enjoy the magical enchantment of Honua'ula.
