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!

Gilligan’s Luau

4.00It was great until it came to the fire part of the show. As VIP’s were asked to move and since we were closed to the stage we got shuffled to the back of the room when non VIPs were closer to the front. That part didn’t feel like VIP treatment we paid for. Everything else was great though. Really good food.

4.00I really enjoyed the luau, the food was great, the entertainment was full of energy and passion. The only thing that was annoying was all of the bugs, they need the bug flyers at guest tables with as many bugs that were out. Overall though, enjoyed my time greatly and would recommend this Luau to everyone!

Basic Luau for decent price

2.00For the price, this luau was decent and delivers a budget-friendly way to experience a luau. The food was solid overall the pork was good, but the standout of the night was definitely the pineapple vinaigrette, which was honestly the best thing we tried. If you’re looking to experience a luau at a lower cost, this is a reasonable option. The show was okay and did attempt to explain Hawaiian culture, though it didn’t really flow together very smoothly. One disappointment was the fire throwing. This was the part I was most excited about, but we were moved to the back of the patio, behind everyone else, and couldn’t really see it. It would have been a lot cooler if seating allowed for better viewing. On a positive note, our server was great, super attentive and kept the drinks coming all night, which definitely helped the overall experience. Overall, it’s a decent luau for the price, just manage expectations depending on what you’re hoping to get out of the show.

3.00The entertainers were great! The music & dancing were really good. They deserve a 5 star rating. But the food was disappointing. It was a typical luau menu, but lacking in flavor. The setting is on a golf course, not the beach. There were no other luau options so we booked this one - but would not recommend if other options are available.
