Maui Luau: Gilligans' Island Luau in Kihei
Overview
Mobile ticket
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!

3.00Not much vegan food choice. Show duration is little less for just 2 hours compared to other luau shows in Hawaii. Fruit juices which I tried from the Menu is HORRIBLE including pineapple juice. Full of Sugar from some SoDA can. We thought we will get Fresh Fruit juices at least since there is No Vegan Food choice and did not eat anything except pineapple.
Must go Show

5.00Amazing show with great food. This is a must see in Maui. Was able to meet and chitchat with the host of the show. Beautiful woman with an incredible soul. She and the rest of the staff made me feel like Ohana.

5.00The food and drinks were phenomenal. The waiter was very attentive and kept the drinks coming. The dancers and entertainment went above and beyond any expectations. You have not properly visited Hawaii if you do not partake.

3.00This is a small luau--maybe 150 people max with a limited menu buffet and waiter service for drinks, which are included. Show is average, at best with lots of costume changes and plastic contumes. Started at 5PM, ended promptly at 7PM, show was an hour long "travel" through Polynesia with dances and costumes from various south pacific islands. Five dancers and a very good two guitar players and singers providing the music. Fire dance was excellent
Great experience!

1.00If you are looking for an authentic luau, do not choose this. It is on the patio of the golf course, just buffet and show, I have been to other luau's that are on the beach, give demonstrations which include making leis, how coconuts are retrieved and opened, Hawaiian staff all around talking about the islands, some even demonstrate how the pig is retrieved from the pit, and the costs are the same
Interesting, not $166 worth
