Description

Like other luaus, Lu'au Kalamaku features ono Hawaiian food, a dramatic torch lighting and imu ceremony (the unearthing of pig from an underground oven), Tahitian rhythms, fantastic music, and traditional hula dancing…even the drums are crafted by the hands of their drummers. This is where the similarity ends.

Lu’au Kalamaku features a state-of-the-art media system and an interactive stage design that transports you to ancient Polynesia during the time of their remarkable migration to the Islands. It is during the time of epic voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti, along one of the longest sea roads of Polynesia, that the journey takes place.

Through laughter, fear, seduction, and fire, a new legacy is created, born from the cherished seeds of their ancestors. The theatrical luau culminates with a fantastic fire dream featuring fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing. In a climactic ending, Pele the fire goddess, her sister Hiiaka, Lohiau, the prince of Kauai, and the fire-breathing Moo-dragon women pay homage to Kauai mythology.

While the incredible tale unfolds, guests will find themselves in the heart of the story itself. Kalamaku, a child of the new land, carries the fiery torch of one family’s future. Celebrate through story and song the primal rhythm of Kauai. Explore the depths of the family’s effort as they seek the courage and vision that will carry them far over the horizon.

Join Lu’au Kalamaku as the Kauai skies darken and the cast takes the stage to tell the amazing story of the epic voyage between Hawaii and Tahiti along one of the longest sea roads of Polynesia.

The theatrical luau will bring guests to tears and have them jumping from their seats as the story the cast weaves brings them back to the original days of the Hawaiian people, culminating with a fantastic fire dream featuring fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing.
