Luau in Maui or Kauai?

[kristinar]

Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread.... I will not have time in Oahu to do a luau and want to take my daughter. Which island is best and should I book through NCL or ind? I want to see fire!!!

Thanks:)

Assuming time is not an issue there is no contest: Old Lahaina Luau on Maui.

Thanks! They are booked but put myself on the waitlist.

To me the OLL is the best "Hawaiian" luau but they've always explained that if you want to see "fire" that is another Polynesian culture & not Hawaiian so they do not perform fire dance.

 

The Feast at Lele is operated by the same company in Lahaina across from the beach. It's a sit down gourmet meal with entertainment & food from 4 Polynesian cultures & a wide variety of drinks. It is a little bit more & you could go to their website and also search this forum for the Feast at Lele.

Another positive is that it's not too far to walk to from the Lahaina tender pier.

I noticed that I neglected to mention that the Feast at Lele has the Samoan fire knife dance.

 

"The famed fire knife dance is an important component to their culture and fitting end to our show".

 

It's an enjoyable experience to Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti & Samoa. :)

I found this recent review on Trip Advisor that said "No fire dancing tho" so it's still not available because it's Samoan & not Hawaiian which is what the OLL only provides.

very Good one

OLL hands down the best. Traditional so no fire as the others stated.

If you've never been to a luau, I suggest Old Lahaina Luau on Maui. If you have, Feast at Lele. I have been to both and they are excellent and very authentic. Our first trip to Hawaii, we did OLL. Great history and storytelling woven into the dancing. Both have gorgeous settings right on the beach facing west so you most often will get some sort of lovely sunset.

Both good, did the Feast ( a bit different ), personally prefer Old Lahaina. Plan/reserve early as this past week they were booked and did the feast, while nice not as good IMHO.

Old Lahaina Luau was absolutely spectacular.
