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!

Great luau for the price!

5.00We had a great experience at this luau! The food was tasty and a variety (served buffet style), good choice of beverages, and a pleasant outdoor experience with a nice show from the performers as we enjoyed our dinner. They took us through the different culture and influences of Hawaii, with different dances and outfits each time. There was a live band playing music both before and during the performance, and it ended with a fire show. Very impressive and this was a much more affordable option for our group of 8. A couple people in our party didn’t think it felt as authentic since it was at a golf course, but that didn’t bother me. Is it as authentic as the Old Lahaina Luau? No, but it was a great alternative for the price, and that was worth it for me. We had our picture taken as we arrived with the option to purchase it after the show, which was a nice momento, and there were a few vendors selling homemade jewelry, wooden carved items, and other native items - that was nice to browse and buy some souvenirs as we waited for the dinner to start.
Great experience from start to end.

5.00Our family, 5 adults and a 7-year-old, loved the luau. I would call this venue a small and somewhat intimate setting compared to some of the large resort areas. The performance and live music were incredible with a beautiful sunset as the backdrop, and the food was great. We would definitely recommend this luau. It was an added plus for them to have a photographer on hand to snap a family picture. Yes, we paid a little extra for the photo, but it was worth the memory.
Come Get Lost at Gilligans Island Luau! You won't regret it!

5.00The Gilligans' Island Luau in Kihei, Maui is a must!! The performers were awesome and the food was delicious. Especially the pulled pork. Did I mention the pulled pork? Drinks are a bit of the sweet side. Recommend sticking to the wine and beer. Open bar and food included.
Fun and beautiful evening!

5.00We had a fabulous time at the Luau! The food was really good, the drinks were tasty and strong, but best of all was the dancing. The dancing was really good and very representative of different styles. We had a great time. I highly recommend the VIP package, definitely worth the extra money!
Entertaining

5.00More intimate setting, less expensive than a huge luau. Food was good, program a little short but still fun to watch.
Wonderful experience to take the family

5.00Intimate show, loved the storytelling and dancing. Mediocre food for the prices paid. Overall, an excellent experience to do at least once. The evening was just right with dinner and fire show to cap it off!
Great experience!

5.00Great experience! This was our first Luau. My kids enjoyed it as well. Food was amazing, the performance was great and pricing was very reasonable. And the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were on the island for a week and very pleased have this as part of our experience!
Best luau of the islands!

5.00I’ve been going to luaus on various islands in Hawaii for over 40 years. This was the best one, partly because it was smaller, but also both the food and service were exceptional. The show did not drag on but instead, everything moved efficiently and we did not feel like we missed out on anything. The performers all did an excellent job. We all said it was really excellent.
