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!

5.00This was a really great experience. Service was good and hospitable and the food was also very good. The music and hula dancing was presented beautifully by talented performers. The whole event was entertaining and offered just the right amount of information about unique Polynesian customs as reflected through their presentation.
Good but not great, and definitely not worth the money especially for VIP seating

3.00This is the third luau we have done in Hawaii (one on each of three trips the last eight years). It was the most expensive by a good amount and was also our least favorite. It was the shortest being around 90 minutes and had the least food options, and shortest performance / story telling of the three we have been to. I would definitely recommended checking out other options before booking this one
Such a lovely evening

3.00The performers were amazing. I also loved the food. So good. I didn't like the Costco cake for dessert. Even guava cheesecake or something pineapple would have been more authentic. Location was just okay. There are better luau locations.
Excellent Luau
