MAUI SUMMER CLASSIC

Maui Hyatt Luau

The Maui Hyatt Luau is a great luau, located on Ka'anapali Beach. Easily accessible from many West side locations, this is a top of the line luau with all the fine things you would expect from a Maui Luau.

The Drums of the Pacific is a high energy show, treating you to the rhythms of a variety of Polynesian cultures. See the dances of New Zealand, wildly energetic Maori dances of war and strength. Also visit Tonga, with their roaring drums and amazing songs that are sure to get your heart pumping. The beautiful women of this Maui luau will also treat you to the hula kahiko from here in Hawaii, as well as traditional dances from all over the Polynesian islands.
