Mauka Warriors Luau offers a distinctive celebration of Polynesian heritage by honoring the warriors and battle traditions that shaped island history throughout the Pacific. This locally owned production, operated by members of the Polynesian community and US military, takes guests on a cultural journey through Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Tahiti, and the Cook Islands. Before the main performance begins, guests can immerse themselves in interactive pre-show activities including headband weaving, hand-drawn tattoos, hula lessons, Maori poi ball lessons, Kava tasting, coconut cracking and meat shredding, mini golf, and cooking demonstrations.
The Royal Package experience begins with a fresh flower lei greeting upon arrival, welcoming guests to the evening’s festivities. Seated in the front VIP Mōʻī Section, guests enjoy prime views of the live music, traditional dancing, and dramatic battle re-enactments that portray the warrior history of Polynesia. The performance builds to the exciting fire-knife dance tradition, showcasing the skill and artistry that has been passed down through generations. Throughout the evening, the celebration honors the forgotten heroes of Oahu while bringing the vibrant spirit of Polynesian culture to life through authentic performances and meaningful cultural connections.
