Te Au Moana, translated as  the ocean tide, has always been a constant throughout Oceania, connecting our islands, peoples and generations. Our Polynesian ancestors traversed these oceans tides for ages and revered them for their life sustaining properties. Their stories, which spoke of their expert skills in fishing, gathering and voyaging demonstrated the tremendous depths of knowledge and respect they had to the Earth and its elements. As Hawaii’s premier entertainment company, Tihati Productions endeavors to bring these stories to life at “Te Au Moana: The Ocean Tide”. We invite you to  dine as the ocean sits peacefully before you, as it has for thousands of years. We ask you to  dance under the Maui skies; the moon and stars await you and we hope that you  discover all the fascinating stories at “Te Au Moana: The Ocean Tide” a spectacular lu’au experience like no other!

Have attended many Luau’s...

Have attended many Luau’s on few islands. This one was by far the best. The entertainment added humor with crowd engagement. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was better than expected for a buffet style meal.

Maui family vacation

Long walk from the parking garage to the luau. We had a great time. Food was pretty good but we loved the show the most! The performers were so talented!

Luau at Wailea Beach Resort

Beautiful setting. We had 12 of us; 8 adults; 1 child, and 2 infants. We were able to fit at one table with infants in Laos. Booster chairs available. Loved family style dining instead of buffet Plenty of food and drinks. Service all around was excellent

Don’t miss this Luau!

Luau was a huge hit with family of nine and children ages 9-15. Quality food family style — thank goodness no buffet lines. Drinks were nice enough! Desserts fruit and meats vegetables excellent! Entertainment outstanding and I’ve been to Maui luaus five times before I shared experience with grandkids! Excellent service. Personnel fantastic!

Lovely oceanside setting and great food!

Really nice beach side setting. The food was delicious, and abundant. You won't leave hungry. 3 couses: we started with salad, edemame, cucumber salad, Mac salad, rolls. The main courses were pulled pork, spare ribs, chicken, fish with some veggie sides. Dessert was banana bread, cookies, fruit, and a strawberry layer cake. Open bar included. The show included a lot of dancing, music, and cultural information about all of the Polynesian nations, not just Hawaii. After dark, the fin act was the Samoan fire knife dancers, which was incredible.

Good show-Poor Food Preparation

Fantastic performance, but the food was exceptionally poor. Expected better food for the price.

Make your reservations...

Make your reservations early we decided to go once we had gotten to Hawaii, so our table was not close to the stage. But I believe all the tables have a decent view. Overall, I believe it was overpriced The food was ok but it was presented well and our waiter was very friendly. I recommend the mai tai drink the frozen drink choices melted fast. The performers were talented and I enjoyed the luau experience.

A delicious and enjoyable evening!

The Te Au Moana was our favorite luau ever! Elegant, delicious, entertaining and memorable ! From the moment we arrived and received our beautiful orchid leis, our group of grandparents and teens were all happy! Brandon our bartender, took care of our beverage needs and Benji our expert waiter served us the most delicious selections of high quality and fresh foods! He even brought us extra portions of our favorite dishes. The entertainment was outstanding and engaging! What a beautiful evening!

Operator response

What a lovely way to spend an evening together, Marilyn. Glad the orchid leis set the tone, Brandon and Benji took such good care of you, and the show closed things out on a high note.
