Old Lahaina Luau takes visitors through Hawaiian culture and history, and dancers perform ancient and modern hulas. AUTHENTIC EVENT The authentic Hawaiian experience is just waiting to be discovered at Old Lahaina Luau. The all-inclusive, three-hour event includes cocktails, dinner, music, and cultural dances and demonstrations. “Our oceanfront location replicates an old Hawaiian fishing village, and guests can taste Hawaiian regional cuisine and learn about Hawaiian history through our hula production,” says Jamie DeBrunner, corporate director of sales for Old Lahaina, on Maui. Delegates are greeted individually with fresh flower lei, a tropical drink, and a personalized souvenir program. Traditional Hawaiian mat seating (or standard tables and chairs) is preselected. The evening takes visitors from learning about Hawaiian history and culture along the ocean’s edge, to watching the kalua pig come out of the imu, the traditional Hawaiian underground oven. Attendees feast in the hale ai, or eating house, enjoying ahi poke tuna, Big Island sweet potato, Maui-style mahi-mahi, island crab salad, and island desserts, among other dishes. And when the sun sets, hula dancers chant the kahiko, the ancient hula, and move gracefully during the auana, the modern version of the dance. Since January 2009, over 40 CMI groups have visited Old Lahaina Luau. Group sizes range from 35 to 480. “Due to our floor plan, we can accommodate semi-private groups of up to 248. We have two sections, Orchid and Pineapple, and each has its own buffet,” says DeBrunner. The experience is as affordable as it is accommodating. “Planners have found Old Lahaina Luau to be a great value, especially as most of us are now working with tighter budgets. And group coordinators make the planning process very easy and flexible,” says DeBrunner. Old Lahaina Luau is open seven nights. Reservations are required.
