Near the top of every Hawaii to do list is an authentic Hawaiian Luau, an evening spent with dazzling entertainment and a delicious feast of authentic island cuisine. Each island offers great choices, but which is the most authentic luau on each island? We can help you decide, and make sure your luau is one of the many highlights of your trip.

On Oahu, there are a handful of luau options, and each is very well known. The debate on which is the most authentic is very tough, and everyone has his or her favorite. The most complete luau is at the Polynesian Cultural Center, where guests visit the island villages of Polynesia, and enjoy fun activities at each. The luau buffet is delicious and the night show is consistently recognized as one of the top things to do on the island. Additional options include Germaine’s Luau and Chief’s Luau at Wet'n'Wild Hawaii, each a fantastic evening in their own right.

Maui Luaus might have the most options for a luau, and the choices are tough. The Royal Lahaina Luau is one of the most well known luaus in Hawaii, and the Drums of the Pacific Luau is a really fun evening. Each luau is different and features music and dancing that make each unique. For a full list of Maui Luaus, visit our Maui Luaus page.

Kauai’s most well known luau is the Smith’s Family Luau, and has been performing nightly for over 50 years. The Luau Kalamaku at the Kilohana Plantation is quickly becoming a favorite, and the Luau Maka’iwa is another fantastic option that is as authentic as they come. We even features a Kauai Luau with the Waimea Canyon Experience, taking you to breath taking sites before an evening of mesmerizing performances and a delicious buffet.

Big Island Luaus take place at the beautiful resorts on the island. Options include the Hawaii Loa Luau, The Royal Kona Luau, the Haleo Luau, and the Island Breeze Luau, featuring stunning backdrops and authentic music and dancing, plus delicious buffets featuring locally caught fish, fresh vegetables, and pork straight from the Imu. The Big Island is thought of as the most sacred island, so any of the authentic luaus will have an extra authentic feel.

No matter which luau you choose, be sure to reserve your seats as soon as possible. Luaus are one of the most popular activities in Hawaii, and you do not want to miss out on an authentic experience an fun filled evening.
