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.

As the Emcee pronounced, this is not your father’s luau. Very true. The show itself is a very slick production that is as much Broadway as it is Hawaiian. That’s to say, it is a theatrical production of a story. And it has the fire knife and flaming poi balls finale. The facility is quite large, open air, and under a combination of a large tent and some lanai roofs. We’d guess it holds 400-500 total guests, mostly at tables for 10. The stage is in the center. We paid for the “gold package”, which got us a front row table. We recommend the upgrade. Some of the tables, presumably at lower price points, are a fair distance from the stage. We give the show an “A”. Excellent performers, well-rehearsed and choreographed, lots of action, and an engaging story. While we appreciate that few would go to the luau show for the food, we owe transparency on the subject. First, not much “Hawaiian” food there—Kaluha pork, and lomilomi salmon. The rest was American buffet fodder—macaroni salad, rice, teriyaki chicken, zucchini, basic lettuce salad. No poi, which we admit, many don’t care for…yet if you don’t try it at a luau, then where else? Think any chain buffet in the states, with an open bar (two beer varieties, basic wine, mai tai, blue Hawaiian). Just as a heads up, parking takes about an hour to clear out. A function of the number of cars and traffic light at the entrance. In sum, we doubt there’s a better luau show out there, and have minimal expectations of the food. It’s a fun, one-time night out.

This luau had great entertainment but the food was average and a very limited selection of alcoholic drinks. It was in a huge pavilion and everyone is called up to the buffet line by table. If you want a more intimate, traditional luau where you actually see them lift the pig out of the imu then you should book somewhere else. My first choice was the Smith family luau but they were booked.

Great Venue and Show. Well organized. The entertainers were outstanding. Overall an “A” for the the show. The food could have been hotter, overall a “B” in the food.
