Luau Kalamaku

Please note there are multiple Marriott Resorts on Kauai.  For guests staying at the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club, the luau is closer to the resort than any pick up location offered!

Taking place at the historic Kilohana Plantation, Luau Kalamaku features a spectacular Polynesian show with twice as many dancers as other luaus on Kauai (named "Best Luau Show" by Lonely Planet). Visitors also get to enjoy many pre-dinner activities, including arts & crafts, the traditional imu ceremony (unearthing of the kalua roast pig) and an optional train ride through the plantation.

Train ride upgrade:
 Before the big luau feast, enjoy a train ride through the 105 acres of the Kalamaku Plantation. See historic plantation homes, a low land forest and pineapple, taro and sugarcane fields. This adventure also includes a stop to feed the plantation's herd of wild pigs, goats and sheep, and you'll get to see their cattle, horses, clydesdales and donkeys.

Luau Package: The Luau Kalamaku Hawaiian luau package includes standard seating.

Gold Luau:
Luau Kalamaku's exclusive Gold Package includes premium seating, so you can experience our theatrical show so close to the stage that you can feel the heat from our famous fire dancers!
