Fodor's Expert Review Luau Kalamaku

Set on the grounds of a historic sugar plantation, this luau bills itself as the only "theatrical" luau on Kauai. The luau feast is served buffet style, there's an open bar, and the performers aim to both entertain and educate about Hawaiian culture. Guests sit at tables around a circular stage; tables farther from the stage are elevated, providing unobstructed views. Additional packages offer visitors the opportunity to watch the show only, tour the 35-acre plantation via train, or enjoy special romantic perks like a lei greeting and champagne. Check the website for days and times; the luau is not offered daily.
