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!

Truly Unforgettable Luau Experience

5.00This luau was everything I hoped for and more. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It was all-you-can-eat, and the drinks were unlimited too, which made for a truly festive and carefree evening. The show was nothing short of amazing. The dancers were incredibly talented and felt genuinely authentic—not like a commercial tourist performance, but something that came from real cultural pride and tradition. Every movement, every drumbeat felt sincere and powerful. The setting itself was stunning, with a gorgeous view that made the whole evening feel magical. As the sun set and the fire damcer lit up, it created a perfect atmosphere: relaxed, intimate, and immersive. If you're looking for a luau that feels more personal and less like a packaged tourist trap, this is the one. It was a great value for a wonderful experience!

5.00The performers, servers and ambiance were just we were hoping for! We loved it all. This was our first luau and it didn’t disappoint. The costumes and the dancers were beautiful, bold and strong. The live band was incredibly talented. The MC was warm and inviting and lively and told rich stories. The fire dancer was gutsy and captivating and wow did the sunset show off! And the food was delicious as well. Would totally recommend!
Best bang for your buck

4.00They fed us quickly and we were able to go back and get seconds before they shut the buffet down before the show started. The cocktails were extremely watered down so get a beer or wine. The show felt authentic and the live band ROCKED! It only last 2 hours which was the perfect amount of time. Beware that you will be outside fighting against wind, sun and mosquitoes. The non VIP seating was actually under a covered area so you may want to book that if you’re going in the summer. The food was typical buffet quality food but it was hot and lots of options. Compared to what other luau’s cost, I’d say this was worth it.
Great Luau
