What To Expect

Hale Hoaloha Luau at the Mauna Lani

The Hale Hoaloha Lūʻau is a celebration of the beauty and stories of the land area known as Kalāhuipuaʻa. Considered the “piko” (center) of the majestic mountains of Haleakalā, Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualālai, the Mauna Lani is a special place to all who have the privilege of enjoying its beauty. Traditionally, lūʻaus are important family celebrations with a feast of favorite foods, sharing of moʻolelo (story telling), mele (music) and hula. Hale Hoaloha Lūʻau brings together all of these while sharing Mauna Laniʻs majestic history and the true essence of aloha, ʻohana (family) and kuleana (responsibility) with everyone in attendance.

This was the best luau I’ve ever been to! The food was delicious and the dancing/singing was amazing. It takes place in a gorgeous setting. We chose the Ali’i package and received a beautiful family photo, leis, and a table right up front with an excellent view of the stage. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience all around. Highly recommend!

My husband and I are not big fans of luaus in general, but reviews on this were very good and our granddaughters wanted to experience one. Wow! This changed our tune. This luau was so well organized, so well conducted, the performances were fantastic, the involvement of the audience was delightful! Our teen granddaughters enjoyed learning to Hula and tried out some games. Our family had our own table to ourselves and it was spread out so there was plenty of room to move around. I have a lot of food sensitivities and was worried how that would go. EVERY dish was clearly labeled! Gluten-free or contains gluten, dairy free or contains dairy, vegan, etc. In fact most of the food was gluten free and dairy free. What a relief! Also, there was enough food for the attendance, so there were no long lines for obtaining appetizers, main dishes, desserts, etc. Beverages were served directly at tables. Staff were friendly and attentive. The performances were very professional, explained well, was enough to learn about and enjoy, and yet didn't drag on too long. Much appreciated!
