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!

4.00It is a small crowd and the food doesn’t have a lot of variety. Though it’s good… the dancers are pretty good. I was just expecting a huge place comparing it to PCC but of course, you have to pay a hefty price for those…
It’s was amazing and great food.

4.00It’s not a traditional luau with the pig cooked in a for out in the ground, but once you’ve got over that then it’s good. It’s also not at a resort and that makes it better and more intimate. Okay it’s at a restaurant at a golf club but that’s still better than an AI resort. The food was quite good and had some nice variety with some local dishes. It’s buffet style but well managed. The drinks and cocktails were included and kept coming. The show was exciting with some quick costume changes and interesting history during the narration. I liked it.
The food was delicious...

5.00We found it with an AI question. Reserved a couple days ahead. When we arrived at the site (a golf course) we weren’t sure what to think. The seating process went well, we had buffet style food within 10 minutes of being seated. The food was actually excellent (especially the pork). Drinks were good and bottomless. The performers did a great job, especially the lead woman. Both of us left very satisfied with the food, drinks, and entertainment, especially for the price.
Good for adults

5.00Gilligan's Island Luau is fabulous! Great food, great drinks, short enough for the kids, small enough so everyone gets a good view. Very fun and interactive. We love the stage!
