Overall a strong and positive experience, though not without some small imperfections. The performers and performances were great. If it was just them, I'd give the overall experience 5 bubbles. The show was a good mix of tourist-friendly silliness and educational notes about Polynesian history. Really liked the show.

The team leads for the staff obviously knew what they were doing and did their best to run a tight ship, but some of the staff just were not up to snuff. Food was sometimes taken from us while we were still eating, requests were forgotten. The food itself was slightly better than I expected from something of this scale.

I know it can't be helped, but about that scale: it's just a little too big. If you go, definitely spring from the pricier tables that are closer to the performance. But even without that consideration, I think this would be more fun if you weren't one of ~400 people watching the show.

Oh and others have noted, be prepared to be staring directly into the sun for the first hour or so of the show.

We expected a great quality show, and this luau delivered. What we did not expect was high-quality food. Usually, the buffet is marginal, but the family style service with plenty of food specifically for our table was excellent. Our server, Jack, also did incredibly well with keeping in touch, helping to take pictures, and being an all-around nice guy.

I was blown away!!! The organization of the production and table setting was perfection but what I enjoyed the most was the energy of staff and passion of the production. The food was absolutely delicious, the dancing and host were inspiring and absolutely stunning!! They offered temporary tattoos and painting for the kids. Now let’s talk about the setting!! An ocean backdrop can’t be matched. This is a perfect luau!!

Wonderful time. Plenty of food and drink (consider not drinking the fruity heavy drinks prior to dinner-we were stuffed!!). Quality of food was great and the service equally so. Nice place for a traditional Hawaiian experience.

Very good. I loved the food, the entertainment, the location, the bar, and the servers! The layout is great. We had the back table but felt were close to the stage. I would highly recommend!

Everything was completely amazing. From the moment you walk up the path to the beautiful ocean view. With the noise of the waves hitting the rocks. To the friendly greetings that you receive. Walking into the venue was amazing. Never felt overcrowded or too busy. From the food to the service everything was five stars. Bartenders were friendly in the accommodating. Wish I could’ve remembered the gentleman‘s name at the bar that went out of his way to make sure my husband was happy. Dinner service was amazing. Food was delicious and fresh. My husband had one request when we were looking for a luau and it was that we didn’t have a buffet style. This place really delivered with the Table service. This is all before the show began. And let’s say that the show was just as amazing as everything else that we had already experienced. Will definitely recommend this to anybody visiting Maui.

We had a great time at Te Au Moana luau. It was our first luau, so we had little to compare it to. However, some people at our table said they had made a point to go to luaus all over Hawaii, and they said this is one of the best. The food was great, drinks were excellent, and the entertainment was enjoyable. Beautiful setting, and a fun bunch of people.

Our server was incredibly friendly and made the experience that much more enjoyable. I believe her name was Monica (table 19 on 1/11/24) and she was great!

All in all, a lot of fun. We sort of thought that once we did one luau, that would be it. But now we’ve decided that we will certainly be back, as it’s a real treat!

An amazing show just steps from the ocean. All food served family style with so much variety in flavors and tastes. I recommend trying it all. Great mixed drinks and virgin cocktails to choose from. Very friendly staff and pre luau activities were fun too. It's a long walk from the parking garage to the Luau location- but they offer a golf cart ride to your parking space after the end of the show. It's all up hill, so I'd ask for it right away.

Aloha Amy, Mahalo nui loa for painting such a vibrant picture of your experience at Te Au Moana Luau! We're absolutely thrilled you had a "fun and beautiful" time with us. Reading your praise for the oceanfront setting, the family-style feast, and the cocktail selection brings a big smile to our faces. We always strive to create a great Hawaiian experience with our guests, and your kind words confirm we're on the right track. We appreciate the heads-up about the walk from the parking garage. While we're blessed with a breathtaking location, we understand the uphill trek back can be tiring. We're so glad our post-show golf cart rides come in handy! Mahalo again for choosing Te Au Moana Luau and for sharing your delightful review.

ALOHA MAUI 🏝️
Host/server was friendly and checked with our table regularly to make sure everything was good. Food was served family style on lazy Susan at table. It’s not a buffet. Three course meal. There was plenty of food for all to have additional servings, if needed. Bar is available for alcoholic drinks. Tropical punch, coffee, hot tea, and water available. Performers put on a great show. MC kept show/flow moving. Band, dancers, MC, servers, food preparers, and bartenders provided a great evening. Great weather for show. MAUI is open to visitors. Laihana may not be to open to visitors due to rebuilding/recovery from last year’s fire. MAUI needs tourism $ (visitors) in order to survive. Plan a trip to this island. MAHALO for great venue.
