It was the best time!!!...
It was the best time!!! Our 1 and 3 year olds loved the show and the food was incredible!!! It was well worth it!

Totally Worth It!
It was an amazing luau. The location is beautiful with beach in the background. We got Lei garlands and flowers to put in our hair (4 girls). We celebrated two of our friend’s bday. The management did not help us secure a cake despite the heavy back and forth with management. They gave my friends cupcakes which I suppose was better than nothing. The food wasn’t super extravagant (more mediocre) but our server was absolutely a star. He took care of everyone’s needs and even got me vegetarian options. The dance performances were fun and of course, the fire dance was cherry on top. I’d definitely go back again. It’s an experience everyone must see in Hawaii.

Highlight of our Trip!
Absolutely blown away by the Te Au Moana luau! The setting was stunning, located right on the water providing gorgeous views of the sunset. The open bar provided plenty of tropical drinks, and the food was served family-style and delicious. They acknowledged birthdays, honeymoons and anniversaries, which was a cute way to make people feel like they were celebrated. The highlight for us was definitely the dancing though. This luau incorporates many Polynesian cultures, which gave us the opportunity to learn and experience even more, including a fire dancing finale! The staff was friendly and attentive, the dancers were talented and overall, was the highlight of our time in Maui. Highly recommend!

Open-air event, well...
Open-air event, well planned, not congested, and great performance area lighting. Food was well portioned, and a wonderful variety of island cuisine. I personally enjoyed the purple sweet potatoe with coconut syrup.

Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.
Is Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 1,466 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort?
+
Around 513 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maui: Te Au Moana Luau at The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Maui?
+
Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Maui?
+
April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Maui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
