Step inside the 1935 Tudor manor at Kilohana Plantation for an evening that opens with four-course dining at Gaylord’s Restaurant, then moves to premium seating for the Luau Kalamaku theatrical production. The Manor House tier puts you close enough to see the fire knife dancer’s sweat and hear the chanter’s breath—a level of intimacy and refined atmosphere that transforms the standard luau into something genuinely special.
Guests of the Manor House Experience begin their evening with a champagne welcome at the historic Kilohana Plantation, where they receive fresh flower leis for women and shell leis for men. This elevated luau package features an intimate four-course dinner at Gaylord’s Restaurant, where the Chef de Cuisine prepares a specialized menu showcasing meats, fish, and produce sourced from Kilohana Plantation’s 60-acre orchard and agricultural park. The dining experience accommodates parties from two to twenty guests, offering a relaxed atmosphere before the evening’s theatrical performance.
As the Kauai skies darken, guests are escorted via a torchlit walk to the Luau Pavilion, where they take their premium reserved seats for Kalamaku, an award-winning theatrical production. The show tells the epic story of the ancient voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti along one of the longest sea roads of Polynesia, bringing to life the laughter, fear, and seduction of these ancestral journeys through dramatic performances enhanced by a state-of-the-art media system. The evening culminates in a spectacular fire dream sequence featuring fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing, celebrating the legacy born from the cherished seeds of Hawaii’s original people.
