Description
The ocean's tide links the generations of Hawaiians and Polynesians together, and Te Au Moana (the ocean's tide) is an extraordinary luau experience presenting those cultures in food, song, and dance. The Polynesians have great knowledge of the earth and ocean and its life giving elements. Their expert skill in fishing, gathering, gift giving, romance, and tapa making are brilliantly demonstrated and shared at Maui's newest luau experience.
Te Au Moana is once again serving dinner as a traditional luau buffet, and the event has now returned to normal in every way with all pre-show activities, seating arrangements, and drinks and dinner service completely restored to the pre-pandemic experience!!!
After dinner you'll discover the fascinating stories of the Pacific through song and dance presented by Tihati Productions, Hawaii's premier entertainment company. The show will take you on a journey throughout Polynesia, and culminate with a spectacular Samoan Fire Knife dance.

Kevin's Activity Tips:
A luau is a must-do event for the first-time Hawaii visitor. Personally, I never get tired of good food, open bar, sunset views, and Hawaiian music and dance.
The Wailea Marriott Luau is located right along the ocean and features expansive ocean views as the ocean itself is the backdrop of the main stage. Te Au Moana at the Marriott is a more traditional luau show featuring live musical accompaniment, and we appreciate the live music emphasis rather than the use of taped soundtracks. It makes a difference in the feeling of the authenticity.
