Huaka'i Luau - Hilton Grand Vacations Ka'anapali Beach Club
Held on the oceanfront Luau Lawn at Hilton Grand Vacations Ka'anapali Beach Club, Huaka'i Luau is Maui's newest seaside show. Each weekly performance honors Hawaii as Momi 'O Ka Pakipika, the Pearl of the Pacific, with live music, song, hula and other Polynesian dance forms.
You'll trace the route of ancient navigators who once crossed the Pacific by starlight: graceful Hawaiian hula, driving Tahitian drums and a full live band build toward a heart-pounding fire-knife finale by Samoan afi masters: steel, flame and rhythm in one unforgettable display of Polynesian skill.
Before the show enjoy a delicious buffet of island favorites, including Kula greens, seared local mahi, shoyu chicken and smoky kalua pork, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices so everyone in your group can feast with aloha.
🌟 Huaka'i Luau Show Featuring:
- Hawaiian Hula 'Auana: Ancient storytelling through graceful, flowing movement
- Tahitian Ori: Fast-paced, rhythmic hip dance of the Society Islands

- Fijian Meke: Ancient warrior songs and dances of the Fiji islands
