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!

The food was delicous, especially the meat and the poi. We learned so much about the Hawaiian culture.

A perfect couple’s event! Dinner and drinks included to make this Lu’au a memorable experience here in the beautiful island of Maui. It’s too bad it didn’t last longer with the amazing Lu’au dancers!

We really enjoyed the Luau with our group of friends! The buffet was tasty and the entertainment was fun. Just the right amount of time, too.

The luau itself was quite good. The dancers were great and provided good history lesson without too much. Music good. We really enjoyed this! Food was good…not high end but pork and fruit and salad delicious. Nice staff. Fine selection of beer and drink options. Negative was waiting area is at a golf course and the outside has a lot of bird “splat” that should be cleaned. leaves a less than desirable first impression. Overall good value for the money since luaus are so expensive.

Great show in a small intimate setting. Beautiful outdoor setting. Well planned buffet style dinner. Dancers and musicians were very talented. We would definitely go again.

It was neat. Short and sweet. The food was okay. The 6 dancers they have were good but it was only the6 and one guy who did a fire baton. Not super impressive and definitely not worth the amount we spent for VIP. It was our first Luau. A lady that sat with us said she had been to several and that this was the worst. She left early. I definitely would not ever spend the money to do it again.

Loved the luau, the show, the food, all of it. Would definitely recommend the luau. They supplied great food and entertainment. Provided venders, and a photographer.

Thank you for an exceptional evening at your establishment. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, excellent service, and fantastic show. The narration accompanying the dances was particularly insightful and greatly enhanced our understanding. We look forward to returning during our next visit to Maui.

Nice location (on the terrace of a golf club restaurant). Food was rich and there was plenty of choice. Our service was world-class, couldn't be better. The performance was explained very well and also funny and all dancers were just great. A very successful evening in a nice manageable round and no big event with mass handling.
