Hale Hoaloha Luau at the Mauna Lani

Overview

The luau is held at the beautiful Mauna Lani, Auberge Resort at Kalāhuipuaʻa, which is a historical area where ancient Hawaiians mastered the art of aquaculture and where King Kamehameha came to recuperate and work in the fishponds.

Guests are welcomed with a traditional Oli (chant) in preparation for preliminary activities with the cast. After the activities, watch as the pig is taken out of the traditional imu pit before it is prepared for the Hawaiian buffet.

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 a great experience. The food was excellent and the show was as well. It’s in a very nice setting. We did not choose the more expensive package with unlimited drinks and had no trouble seeing or enjoying the show. You get a lei and a welcome Mai Tai. You also get free valet parking at the hotel if you are not a guest. My only complaint is they take your picture at the beginning but want $25 to download a copy. I think that should be included as this is more expensive than the other luaus.

The fire segment and the part where the audience was invited in stage. What was annoying were the flies in the food. A better job could have been done to keep flies off the meat and fish dishes.
