The Old Lahaina Luau is probably the most authentic Hawaiian Luau on the island. This one isn't set in a mega resort but instead on their own oceanfront property, right behind the Lahaina Cannery Mall and close to Baby Beach in Lahaina. They'll entertain you with an evening of traditional Hawaiian cuisine, music, cultural dances, and demonstrations. Shows are offered nightly and many say this is the best luau on the island.

The Feast at Lele is all about combing high quality entertainment with high quality food. Seems like marketing hype but the entertainment portion comes from the creators of the Old Lahaina Luau (see above) and the chefs from Pacific'O Restaurant. This isn't your standard luau buffet food but an actual sit-down dinner featuring five epicurean courses from the Pacific island nations of Aotearoa, Tahiti, Samoa, and Hawaii. Think of it more as fine dining with an incredible show than a touristy luau. More at: The Feast at Lele
