Fun experience in a magical setting - I was traveling with 4 teens and didn't really want the food options of a traditional luau, so I was extremely excited to find the luau at South Maui Gardens! This was one of my favorite places on the island. It is absolutely beautiful and magical! Get there early to enjoy the amazing food trucks. We sampled items from a bunch of the trucks and each one was one of our favorites from our trip. My boys said the wings were the best they've ever had. Once you get your food, grab your lawn chairs and set up in the main grassy area in front of the stage. There is a 30 min pre-show with traditional songs and a couple short hula dances. Then a 15 minute intermission and the show starts. They do dances from Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Somoa, ending with a fire dance. It was relaxing, beautiful, and a nice change of pace from busier activities. We highly recommend this one!!

Exceeded Expectations for Family Fun! - Wow, this show was a family favorite! From the music to the dancing and fire, it caught the attention of everyone in our family. We appreciated the idea of paying for the luau show with the option of food purchase at the food trucks. Our kids are picky eaters, and everyone could find something they wanted without overpaying for food that our 3 kids would not enjoy. The dancers had multiple costume changes, and the hostess leading the performance did a wonderful job of sharing information and keeping it upbeat! The setting in the nursery was beautiful. We got there early to park and get a picnic table. This show is perfect for a family and big groups!

Better than a resort luau - This was a wonderful alternative to a luau. Because this venue is smaller, it felt more intimate, the crowd was engaged and the dancers and musicians were up close. Every seat has an amazing view. You can bring your own blankets and beach chairs and lay out on the lawn or grab a seat at the picnic tables in the back which are still close and great seats! The costumes, dances, story telling were beautiful. The narrator/ host kept the crowd engaged and explained every dance in a fun yet informative way. You can feel their love for their culture through their song and dance. Absolutely beautiful! The setting is a serene garden with Buddha statues throughout and food trucks with a variety of options to fit everyone’s taste buds. I would definitely bring family here again. We all loved this show!

Great show, relaxed venue, good food options - We had such a great time! You can not plan a trip to Maui with out visiting a Luau, well this is the perfect show plus the foodtrucks offer a wide variety of food that make your evening a wonderful experience. The show is pretty good and the venue offers a relaxed experience.

Highly recommend this Show - Outstanding show in a beautiful and tropical venue. I would highly recommend this show to everyone I know. I deducted one star only because I feel that they should have started an hour later so that the fire show was seen at night. Sunset is an hour later during the summer.

Good but too short - Wonderful show, however it seemed the live show was much shorter than 2 hours. The musician started around 5:30, the dancers came about 6:10 and the show was over by 6:40. Don’t advertise a 2 hour show that’s actually only 30 minutes. We paid 1,000 for our family group of 10 and while we had a good time we probably not return for this cost. To be clear the time the performers spent was enjoyable, it was just much shorter the. We thought it would be.

Hula not Luau experience. - The show was great, although the specifics of seating and food should be more visible. It was a first come first serve type of situation and food trucks are the food options. Water isn’t included. You’re sitting to watch a show on the floor for over $100. They provide a cool history lesson.
