MORE ABOUT LUAU KALAMAKU
Luau Kalamaku is located on the historic 104-acre Kilohana Plantation. Before luau festivities kick off, guests are encouraged to arrive early and explore the plantation grounds and its Hawaii flora, on-site artisan market, or climb aboard Kilohana Plantation’s 2.5-mile railway line. The celebration begins with a traditional imu unveiling ceremony, followed by a succulent Hawaiian buffet, where locally-loved dishes like poi, kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, and fresh fish make appearances.
Fire and folklore are focal points during this dynamic show. Pyrotechnics, eye-catching costumes, and Pacific cultural dances are knit into the luau’s heartfelt storyline— which chronicles the first Hawaiian people’s migration to the islands.

This was our first luau, and we had a blast. The performers were so talented, and the energy of the whole night was amazing. The buffet had tons of options, and the cocktails were strong (maybe too strong, lol). The only thing is, it was a little crowded at check-in, but once we sat down, everything was perfect.
The whole Kilohana Plantation setting was super pretty, and the performers were next level. The whole story about the Polynesian voyagers was really well done. We did the train ride before the luau too. I think it's more for kids though, the train.
Didn’t expect to get so into a luau, but here we are. The show was awesome, especially the fire dancers (seriously, how do they not burn themselves??). The history and storytelling part was way cooler than I thought it would be. The food was good, but I wasn’t a fan of the poi—guess it's an acquired taste!
If you only do one luau in Kauai, this should be it. We loved the set up in a big circle around the stage so everyone had a great view. The Kilohana Plantation was a gorgeous setting, and getting to see the imu (underground oven) was a cool touch. Only downside—wish I had room for more dessert!
Luau Kalamaku was super fun from start to finish. The dancers were amazing, the fire show was insane, and the whole story they told with the performance was actually really cool. The buffet was huge, but I think I went a little too hard on the poke and kalua pork because I was stuffed before dessert. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
