Frequently Asked Questions
General Admission includes a lei greeting, the traditional imu ceremony, an all-you-care-to-eat island buffet, complimentary tropical cocktails, beer, wine, and soft drinks, and the complete Polynesian stage show featuring Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and Maori dances with a Samoan fire knife finale.
Arrive at least 45 minutes before your check-in time. General Seating check-in starts at 5:45PM from April 1 through August 31 and 5:30PM from September 1 through March 31, though exact times can shift slightly with seasonal daylight, so confirm your time at booking.
The imu ceremony is the traditional unearthing of the Kalua Pua’a, a whole pig slow-cooked for hours in an underground oven lined with hot stones. Watching it lifted from the earth is one of the most authentic Hawaiian cultural moments of the entire evening.
The luau proceeds rain or shine in typical island weather. If conditions become genuinely unsafe, the operator may reschedule the event or issue a refund at its discretion. Light showers are common on the Kaanapali coast and rarely interrupt the show.
Cancel before 5:00PM local time one business day prior to your luau date to avoid charges. Cancellations after that deadline are billed 100% of the booking total, and refunds are not issued for unused portions of the experience.
