Wailea Marriott Maui Luau Location Te Au Moana (The Ocean Tide) is held at the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort on 3700 Wailea Alanui at the base of Haleakala along Maui's southern coast.The luau grounds are in a natural setting. The stage has the ocean and the island of Kahoolawe as the backdrop.
Wailea Marriott Maui Luau PicturesThese big Wailea Marriott Maui Luau Pictures let you visualize your luau experience with images rather than words. During the first part of the luau, you can participate in Hawaiian cultural activities such as flower crafting, kapa and bookmark making, and causal hulas and storytelling. These activities are up close and personal. Here you can see the coconut milk coming from the split in the coconut shell that has just been opened.  After a kalua pig has roasted for several hours in the covered underground pit - imu - it is uncovered in a ceremony at the beginning of the luau.  At around 6pm, the torch lighting and conch shell alert you that the luau buffet is open. You serve yourself the luau food at a buffet style group of tables.  Unlike the endless rows of tables like at some luaus, at the Marriott Wailea luau you sit at individual tables.  The luau grounds are in a natural setting. The stage has the ocean and the island of Kahoolawe as the backdrop.  The Wailea Marriott luau is timed with the setting sun to provide a colorful ocean view natural background during the early part of the show. Often a red sunset backlights the dancers.  Several Polynesian and Hawaiian dances highlight the luau.  Once the sky is dark, the stage is lit up with the burning torches of the Samoan fire knife dancer.  The grand finale of the Samoan fire knife dance marks the end of the luau around 8pm.

More Wailea Marriott Maui Luau PicturesThese pictures were taken in 2009 with a different group of luau performers that are now at the Grand Wailea Resort practically next door, where they are performing the Grand Luau at Honoa'ula. When the show was still at the Wailea Marriott, it was called Honua'ula (Return to the Sacred Lands). The pictures are kept here because they show the dramatic setting sun backlighting the Marriott Wailea stage and the contrast of the fire and dark during the Samoan fire knife dance.
