Description

Gilligans' Island Luau is an intimate luau experience and is the only luau in Kihei on Maui. Our luau is less than one quarter the size of the average luau in Hawaii. So, every seat is a great view of the show. The show is a mesmerizing journey through various types of Polynesian culture presented in a fun and engaging format. Through storytelling, audience participation and remarkable performances, we present an experience unavailable anywhere else. Locally owned and operated, Gilligans is located on the Maui Nui Golf Course. With our small venue, we sell out quickly. Reserve your seats today!

Worth every penny!

What fun! Very good storytelling and the dancing was awesome. The food was absolutely delicious and they didn’t skimp on variety either. The cherry on the top was the fire show!! I highly recommend this luau. FUN.

Can you shake it like them?

Did some research online reading a lot of media. Determined even though it wasn’t on the water the show still gave a huge Cultural experience without the sea. VIP seating isn’t worth the extra money. We did lowest general admission and had the best seats in the house. At $100 cheaper. Drinks were just about perfect. Not too much or too little alcohol. Food was absolutely the best we have had in the island so far. I’d recommend a great Hawaiian experience and learn their culture.

Kīhei Luau

This was a nice luau. Very casual location and setup. If you don’t mind sitting in the sun for a bit, I recommend getting the premium seats. You’re seated first and have unobstructed views of the stage. I was behind a pillar for the show, which wouldn’t be a problem but the solo dancers didn’t work the stage enough. The food was great! The choices were endless and there was something for all to enjoy. They served a tasty Mai Tai! The dancers were engaged with the guests and were stunning. Well done.

Polite and attentive

I interacted with staff both on the phone and in person. Everyone was polite, helpful and attentive. The seating process was organized. I didn’t feel like it was exactly “authentic” food or show but what do I know? The food was good and the dancers were talented. Seating is outdoors so you are subjected to the sun until it goes down. That was a bit uncomfortable but we all survived.

Would recommend

The food was really good. The location was ok but I wish we could have seen the ocean more. The dancers were very good but the fire twirler was amazing. Another plus was the number of people there was small. I've been to other luau dinner shows that were really crowded. I would recommend this show.
