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!

3 times I tried to go to this Luau.. The first 2 times they cancelled, and this time the place was closed. Bad storm.

It was a very entertaining show and experience, the food was delicious and a good variety of dishes. The MC was funny and beautiful. All the dancers were beautiful and a great representation of the Polynesian culture. We all loved it and had a great time, Mahalo.

This is a fantastic, intimate luau (perhaps 100 people). The food & drinks were good; entertainment was absolutely wonderful; the setting was a lovely golf course with palm trees & mountains as a backdrop; price was very reasonable.

Some information on promotional material was dated/inaccurate, e.g., the dessert haupia was in a promotion, and was a factor in selecting this venue, was not on the event menu and had never been on the menu because the five basic ingredients were not available in Hawaii for this hawaiian dish, though the ingredients as well as the dish seemed to be otherwise readily available on Maui. The manager was dismissive toward us. Otherwise, the food and the show were good.

This luau was phenomenal! I can’t understand how anyone could give it less than a 5 star or any of the negative reviews. The food was amazing and more than enough and the whole performance was extremely engaging and educational. My 8 year old son and 65 year old mother both loved it.
