Luau Kalamaku with Buffet Dinner & Show

Overview

Welcoming guests to Kauai since 2007, Luau Kalamaku is Hawaii's only luau show performed “in-the-round,” offering optimal views of the stage. Witness the unearthing of the pig from the traditional imu (underground oven) and enjoy a hula lesson. A craft fair featuring unique items by local artisans awaits on the sprawling lawn. Feast on a delicious buffet of local and familiar favorites and enjoy a Mai Tai from the open bar. The 45-minute main show tells the amazing story of the ancient Hawaiian legend of Kalamaku “child of the new land." Through laughter, fear, seduction and fire, a new legacy is created, born from the cherished seeds of their ancestors. The theatrical luau show culminates with a fantastic fire dream featuring fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing.

Our second trip is just ahead of us and we plan to return. It is lots of fun and this round we won’t be on a cruise so we have more time to spend there! The show is the best part. Food is good but go for the show and you won’t be disappointed.

We have been to Smiths twice and were told this Luau was directed by someone related to cique du solilel. We got "premium" seating for our entire family, which would give us seats so close "we could feel the heat." We were greeted and really enjoyed the amazing bartender, the grounds and the vendors. We went over for the pig to be removed from the ground and it was done within 30 seconds. It was not traditional with palm frawns, hot rocks, buried. It was sitting in coals, and didn't even resemble a pig when removed from the ground. This was a bit disappointed as a few family members had never seen this done before. The food was fine, not bad, not fabulous. Everyone was satisfied. Right before the show started a couple sat in front of us and so I asked to speak to the manager and asked what "premium" seating meant. He said, oh they are VIP and get better seating than you. The website states both a premium upgrade and VIP seating get premium seating. Some "premium" seating families had not obstruction and others did. The manager actually laughed at me when I said I didn't expect it to be rectified for me because he had already sat people right in front of my toddler granddaughter but I would hope it would be fixed for others. Those seated in front of us did obstruct our view, but not entirely. The performers were good, not cirque du soliel quality... We never "felt the heat" from our seats. My advice, if you want to go on this luau and enjoy the grounds, did it, but DO NOT upgrade to PREMIUM, it's basically useless.

We booked the plantation owners experience and it was worth the extra money. We dined at the Gaylords restaurant from a 2 choice four course meal. The food was excellent. We were served a complimentary glass of champagne - but wine with dinner is extra. After dinner someone from the show escorted us to our private 4 person table right in front of the stage. Once seated a hostess came over to let us know where the open bar was for drinks and the bathrooms if we needed them. Our seats were amazing and being able to sit with just our family was very relaxing. Even my husband said this was the way to attend a luau.
