Maui Luau: Gilligans' Island Luau In Kihei Maui

We enjoyed the experience! The food was plentiful with lots of choices, and the entertainment was great!

I booked this Luau for our family of 5 not expecting much si ce it was half the price of the big resort Luau’s. To our surprise it turned out to be a great value, we feel like we git the full experience. The food is delicious and abundant, there’s a server that brings you drinks to the table and was always asking us if we needed more, the show host makes the experience entertaining as she makes the crowd participate. I definitely recommend this luau.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the luau. Service was friendly and attentive, and the music and entertainment were exceptional.

Fun family experience great food. Kept us all entertained and engaged. Loved the music. Fire dancer was hypnotic

The checking in was not very efficient but once in the staff was friendly and very attentive. Nice variety of Hawaiian food and plenty for everyone. My partner had 3 helpings. He is vegan and found many choices. The show was good with a nice bit of audience participation. I would recommend this.

We had an Amazing Experience. We were there to just Relax and Enjoy the scenery. We did. Our guide (my stepson) is always very meticulous and a planner. We went to Haleakala (a Volcano Crater) which stands just a tad over 10,000 feet in Elevation. We saw some of the famous Silverswords but never got to see the Nene (a Hawaiian ‘goose’) found on the Island. You can actually make a reservation to see the Sunrise at the top of the Crater. Wish we would have done it. But definitely would recommend. Need to book about 2-3 days in advance. We also “Survived” the Road to Hāna: A 6-8 hrs (due to stops along the way for pics, sightseeing, etc) winding and somewhat hairy (620 turns, over 50 bridges and amazing Waterfall views) coastal drive featuring rainforests, waterfalls, and black-sand beaches. We actually Stopped in Hana for Lunch. Amazing !! Now we had Lunch at Sunset and saw the Sunset here. Which meant we Drove back at night. Not recommended unless you are a skilled and experienced driver. We had rented a Jeep 4x4 (very much recommend if doing the road to Hana). There are no lit roads and if it’s raining (it will at some point on your drive due to the elevation, forests, etc) it can be a bit intimidating to drive the way back from Hana at night. We went to a Luau at Gilligan’s Island (a restaurant by the Golf Course) in Kihei. It was very entertaining. The dancers were ALL Great and the food was Amazing as well. I had the Blackened chicken the Salmon And the shredded pork. Everything was so good. I had seconds. We also went to the Beaches and they are ALL Amazingly calm, beautiful and relaxing. No crowds and no stress. We wanted to go Island hopping but decided to make another trip in the future to another Island. Which, Not sure which or when but We will be back to Hawaii. It was AMAZING !! Definitely worth the long flight and the views plus the people will make it worth while. Loved it !!

Great Food buffet especially the Luau Pork Great entertainment Friendly and helpful staff Beautiful outdoor setting

Appreciate the details in story telling. Very beautiful!

My daughter and son and I took a trip to Hawaii for my 80th birthday and this luau was the highlight of our trip. The food was delicious and the service was great. The music and dancing and storytelling was amazing. We loved the intimacy of the smaller group. We would definitely recommend this to our friends and family.

This was the best blew out ever. It's small and very entertaining. We loved it. There wasn't a bad seat in the house. It was just the best ever. I will go year after year. After year, and I will tell everybody I know about you.

Was a very fun evening. Was a smaller intimate luau. Beautiful area on a golf course. Everyone was friendly. Service was great. Food was excellent.

A must do if you get a chance. Get the VIP package! The food, drinks, and show were awesome. Doors do not open until 5 for VIP so no need to get there too early to just stand around.

The building was run down and dated. The buffet had lots of choices and was good. The performers were very good. The outside waiting area could use some power washing on a regular basis.

Excellent food. Intimate experience. Drinks were unlimited though not the best/strongest. Overall great time.

It was great. The dancing was beautiful and well done, the meal was served buffet style and very tasty, many options, all drinks included. Waiters and waitresses kind and attentive. Would definitely recommend.. many kids at ours and all were very interested.

I love place ,great location, very passionate people working there. Show and food was incredible. Thank you.

The food was good. I’m Vegan and they had a special order of fried tofu for me for my protein to go along with the other items on the buffet. The entertainment was very good. If you want a shorter version of a luau this is the one. It lasted 2 hours. Just right for being in Kīhei. I would recommend this experience.

Food was great and was very accommodating to gluten free (celiac). Staff were nice. Waiting area did have more bugs than expected and bird poop. Luau acts were very small-only 6 people and one of them did a couple small fire acts. Act was on a deck in front of us, not a large set up. Nothing like the traditional, large shows for the same price (which is what I was hoping for).

Great show. I would recommend it to anyone. The price was more affordable than a lot of the other shows.

The food was good, the show was good but I feel it lacked a lot of substance in atmosphere. It was a Buffett. I was disappointed that they didn’t actually have a hog roast going where you went up and they served your meat off the hog. For me the hog presentation really makes it stand out

The food was awesome! The performers were fantastic. Small group environment which made it so much better. Service was excellent. I highly recommend this luau!

Nice setting, saw the sunset beautifully. The food was abundant and tasty. Our server was attentive. The music was lovely and the show was good. Over all it was nice way to spend our evening.

We did not find it to be worth the money. I had to stand off to the side to see the dancers. VERY casual. Food was mediocre. We went to The Cannery shopping center a couple days later and came across a free demonstration of the dances with incredible food trucks.Had delicious sushi and crab wontons. Very good!! This was just as good,if not better.

Wow! I have traveled for many years and this made my top 2 ever excursion/experiences! From the time I booked until the show was over was exceptional! Conformation email had all the information we needed. Upon arrival staff was very friendly and well organized! They all worked like a well oiled machine. The food was absolutely delicious, wasn't expecting that. And the show, stunning! Musicians, drummer, Mc and dancers had my undivided attention the entire time. Then the firedancer, yes please! Overall A++ highly recommend! Thank you for an amazing evening.

Outstanding show and food, a truely enjoyable evening

Good food and great show. Liked the smaller setting.

Nice facility, good food, great performances. I would highly recommend this experience. It is a definite must do.

The food was great and so was the show🌴

This is the most authentic, real Hawaiian dance on Maui, we’ve been to all ten luau venues, and this dance nailed it perfectly. The real Hawaiian culture & authentic dance, the amount of people for this show was perfect. Vins & Mikkii

What a phenomenal experience. This was my first Luau and it did not disappoint. Intimate setting with only around 100 guests. The dancers/performers were talented, engaging and all around great at their craft. The good was good, varied options and really good. The open bar was great as was the cup of coffee I had before I left to drive back to kaanapali. GREAT show and great value!

Everything was good. We were having a good time. The only thing is that we didn’t get to finish the whole experience due to weather. They said we were gonna reschedule, but they never call me and I am leaving Monday.

The event was canceled due to rain. Very disappointed. Could not reschedule since only openings were after we leave for home.

The food was excellent. We all liked the pork and pineapple very much. All the other dishes were good. The was entertainment lively and very colorful. We enjoyed the evening.

Much better than the luau’s at the big resorts. Smaller, a more intimate experience. The dancers are excellent, the musicians as well. The food was very , lots of variety. Have done this particular luau 4 times over the years and will go back.

We had such a great time! Food and service was exceptional. The show was phenomenal!

Beautiful dancers, good food, we were able to meet new people. Better price then others. Good way to spend the evening.

Great customer service. The venue was nice. The food was great! The performances with live musicians were awesome! I would go again.

Great time! Good food, great show and lovely spot!

It was very nice, we paid for the premium seating so we were up front. Our server was very nice and attentive.

Definitely not worth the price. 1) the food selection was very small 2) the poor lack of representation of the Polynesian islands were insane . They spent 30-45 mins on Hawaii alone (which I get were in Hawaii) but they didn’t do any representation of Tonga , of Fiji, and barely anything for Samoa . Just all in all really poor experience and would NOT recommend to anyone.

Very good service and food. The Hosts were very hospital and friendly. Very entertaining and engaging.

It was so cool to see everything and the food was so good we went back for seconds the dancing was so cool and they explained everything so well the bugs got a little bad for others around me but never got bad where I was sitting

Food was plentiful, but average. Alcohol was from a limited menu. Small scale dance program. 11 cast, 6 dancers, 3 musicians, an emcee and a fire dancer. Stage was approximately 12x30. Overall good, but bring insect repellent.

The show was amazing!! The performers were all very good and it was energizing to be there. The food was pretty good as well, lots of different options at the buffet and options for drinks. The only downside was all of the bugs. They were everywhere during dinner and the show, they got worse as the night went on. I was wearing a dress and they were literally down my the front of dress and crawling all over me.

It was a great show and the food was delicious!!! The story telling and dancers were amazing. Would suggest to anyone who asks!

Raining and misting had to take an easier route as the other route wasn’t deemed a safe choice. A little disappointed. Our guide Stephen was knowledgeable and very friendly. Loved his recommends while on the island.

It was fun had a good time only change I would make is the music was to loud and it made it hard to communicate with people and even the staff

The food was meh. The dancers were talented, but it seemed small and kinda low budget. I didn’t think it was worth the money.

Food, drinks, and the show were all great! On our honeymoon and happy we booked this experience! Mahalo
