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!

5.00We had six people in our group. Three adults and three children. We liked that this venue was small. One child is autistic. We all enjoyed the delicious meal and the show was very entertaining. The favorite was the fire show. All were very impressed. The gentleman that took care of our drinks made sure that we were never without. Very friendly with the whole family.
Great choice!

5.00From the moment we were greeted til we left it was so fun and entertaining! This was our first ever luau and it was great! The servers were attentive, the drinks and food were amazing. My husband is still talking about the pulled pork. Dancers and fire guy were phenomenal. Seating was intimate and close. I loved this experience and would do it again.
Family fun

We loved hearing about the dances as well as experiencing them! We definitely would highly recommend attending their Luau if you have the opportunity, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for being an exciting, educational and fun part of our Hawaiian vacation!

5.00Great experience for families or couples. We had our 1 year old daughter, and the grandparents with us and everyone had a great time. It's about 2 hours in total, so not too long for fidgety kids. Awesome sunset view, friendly hosts, professional and interactive hosts, dancers, singers. Food was great. Excellent value, and not crowded.
Not a proper luau, very expensive for what it is

1.00The luau is on the patio of a golf course bar/snack restaurant, not on a fairway, very small area, not all a proper venue for an expensive price. Very amateur presentation, food, and show. Go elsewhere for that much money and a real luau.
Amazing time at luau with family
