Luau in Maui

[PCWalton1]

Astroflyer makes some excellent and accurate points. OLL and Feast at Lele are indeed run by the same great folks and these two luau are well known to be among the best in the entire state, with OLL being the most authentic Hawaiian luau in Hawaii. I've been to both, with FAL twice and count them both as excellent with authentic dances.

 

One thing one might consider if their ship is not overnighting at Maui is to book one of these luau as a shore excursion through their own cruise line. Most cruise ships tend to wait on their own shore excursions.

 

Both of the above-mentioned luau are beachfront with lovely views across the Au'au channel to the island of Lanai to the west and glimpses of Moloka'i to the north. For couples, I usually recommend FAL, for families: OLL. OLL offers traditional seating on cushions at low tables which small kids seem to love, and plus there are all sorts of crafts and activities to be seen pre show at OLL. Much less at FAL. If one is interested in a little history of the state of Hawaii, OLL is excellent to weave in interesting historic info in their show and dances. Happy planning!

 

I have never seen anyone state you could book either of these through the ship so I would not get your hopes up on that option.

I can't speak for any other cruise lines, but since Disney Cruise Lines offers OLL in their Shore Adventures, I thought perhaps some others might as well. Here's a link to show that they do indeed offer OLL:
