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.

Amazing show. Friendly service. Food was not good . Need more flavor. Teriyaki chicken and fish were ok. Desert was ok. Cake was dry. Macaroni had no taste. Salad dressing was good. For the price food should be improved. Find a better chef.

We loved the show! We especially loved the fire torch tossing and the story it told. We thought the performers did an outrageous job telling the history of Hawaii. The food was okay. We have tried a lot of different food on the island and this was subpar. For as much money as we spent we thought the food would be a little bit better. We went for the show obviously not the food. The drinks from the open bar were very small and watered down. We did like all the cute little shops of the local vendors before the show started. If you don't like big crowds you will not like it there. I suggest if you want to see the show better to get front row seats. The people behind us never sat down. I felt sorry for the people that were sitting behind them probably didn't get to see a lot of the show. I definitely would do it again.

The luau was great. Stalk the website for the premier seats. It really is worth it. We bought standard tickets for one day but noticed premier seats became available for another so I quickly called and transferred. Maybe the wait list works? I had wait list tickets for several days for the premier but they never called when tickets were available online so that's why I kept stalking the website. If you grew up at Disneyland, you see the organization and how everything seems to run smooth. My dad doesn't get around very well anymore. Wheelchair was needed at the luau which was great for our family. He's never used one much before but probably needed more now. Anyway, get there early. Check in is at 4:45. Visit the craft booths behind the stage. Jewelry, soap, sweet shop and art were the ones I saw. Open bar from 5 to 7:30. You can get only 1 alcoholic drink at a time (mai tai, blue hawaiian or beer are ones we got often) You are assigned seating. 2 drinks at a time can be done but one alcoholic and 1 non-alcoholic at a time. Premier seats are around the main stage. We had table 412 with another nice family from California. Standard seats are further from the stage with heads blocking your view, Imu ceremony is at 6:15. Salad and rolls came to our table around 6:10. They call up tables by your table number to the buffet. More salad, macaroni salad, teriyaki chicken, poi and fish are the options that I saw. Everything is labeled. Dessert is available shortly after everyone is called for the buffet. Show was great. About 45 minutes. Fire presentation is about the last 10 minutes or show or so. Leaving the plantation is a lot like Dodger Stadium but on a much smaller scale. Only one traffic light. I was told beforehand seating capacity was around 600 but I noticed empty tables near the exits when leaving. We had a great time. Only drawback is the band speaker system needs work from 5pm to 7:30.. It sounded muffled and not very loud at times but the luau sound was much better with their own mics. If premier seats do not open up for your date then check often. I saw most changes in the AM Hawaii time. The $26 difference is worth it. How many times do you visit Hawaii?
