) From the warm aloha greeting to the ex-
travagant feast and the mesmerizing hula dances, everything is first-rate. No other luau
on Maui comes close to matching this one for its authenticity, presentation and all-around
aloha. The feast is outstanding, with high-quality Hawaiian fare that includes
kalua
pork,
ahi
poke, pulehu
(broiled) steak and an array of salads and sides.
Be sure to stick around for your take-home gift - tasty banana bread. One caveat: the
luau often sells out a month in advance, so book ahead.
