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!

5.00This is a smaller luau than most but in my opinion what made it fun. You are up close to the stage no matter the ticket price, the food is par with any luau I’ve been to, and the entertainers are great! I enjoyed the family-friendly atmosphere
Great atmosphere, good...

4.00Entertainment was top notch. Food was good. Enough time to have 3-4 drinks. Paid for preferred seating which got us seats across the table from one another, one with back to the show and the sun in my eyes. Host was very adamant about not moving seats, even though all It would have meant is a group of 3 , seated around the end of the table would have shifted over one seat. This inflexibility and poor seat got the evening off on the wrong foot. We felt most of the regular seats were superior to ours.
Great food and service ...

5.00Nice small luau. Food was very good and plenty of it. Drinks unlimited. You were close to the stage no matter where you sat because of the smaller venue.
Exceptional service,...

4.00Exceptional service, great music, beautiful dancers, good food. Ambiance could use a little refresh- tables were tight and the dinner line up was right on the seated tables.
A great experience!!

5.00What a good evening! For starters, it was over $100 dollars cheaper per ticket than the others. Then, it was in Kehei, a couple of miles from our condo-no traffic back-ups. At the golf club with FREE parking!😁 Then , the food buffet was delicious! And abundant, lots of choices. The dessert cakes were top of the line baked goods. The grande finale was the luau show itself. All the seats were within a few row of the stage. The variety of dancers who were all great to watch, with the intensity of the show increasing with every grouping and song. The finale- the fire dancer-amazing, skilled, couldn’t turn your eyes away! I will go again when I come back next year!
