Auntie Snorkel’s Reviews
Why You’ll Love the Aloha Wailea Luau at Mulligans on the Blue
⭐ Wailea’s Most Affordable Luau — Full Experience, No Compromises
The Aloha Wailea Luau delivers a complete Hawaiian feast, a full open bar all evening, a Polynesian revue, a pre-show artisan market, and an award-winning fire knife finale — at a price that is nearly half what competing Wailea luaus charge per adult. Auntie Snorkel books the Aloha Wailea Luau because it gives guests every element of a first-rate Maui luau evening at the most accessible price in South Maui.
⭐ A Stunning Outdoor Ocean View Setting Above Wailea
Mulligans on the Blue sits perched above the Wailea resort corridor on the fairways of the Wailea Blue Golf Course, with sweeping views of Maui’s South Shore and the Pacific Ocean. The luau takes place on an outdoor ocean-view balcony under the open sky. If rain arrives, the evening moves seamlessly indoors. The views from this location are among the finest of any luau venue on the island.
⭐ A Pre-Show Artisan Market Unlike Any Other Maui Luau
Doors open at 4:45 PM — fifteen minutes before the feast and performance begin. Guests explore an artisan market featuring traditional Hawaiian tattoo art, lei-making, ukulele, and Hawaiian games, alongside local artisan vendors offering Maui-made delicacies, clothing, and island jewelry. This pre-show experience gives the evening genuine cultural depth that most luaus skip entirely.
⭐ An Award-Winning Fire Knife Finale
The Aloha Wailea Luau’s fire knife performer holds award-winning recognition, and the finale closes the evening in spectacular fashion. The Polynesian revue builds to that moment through graceful hula, vibrant Tahitian dance, and traditional ceremony, performed by six master dancers accompanied by a live band throughout the two-hour show.
⭐ A Hawaiian Feast Made With Maui Ingredients
The buffet features fresh Maui mahi mahi, slow-roasted kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, ahi poke, lomi salmon, Kula greens with lilikoi vinaigrette, macaroni salad, Hawaiian sweet rolls, seasonal Maui vegetables, haupia, ube macarons, and house-made chocolate brownies. The kitchen sources from Maui farms and waters whenever possible. A dedicated kids menu runs alongside the adult buffet.
⭐ Full Open Bar All Evening — From Arrival Through the Finale
Every ticket includes the full open bar from the moment doors open at 4:45 PM through the close of the show. Guests enjoy mai tais, tropical cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the entire evening. The bar stays open and generous from the first welcome cocktail to the last notes of the fire knife finale.
⭐ A Dedicated Kids Menu and Children 5 and Under Free
The Aloha Wailea Luau serves a dedicated children’s menu alongside the full adult buffet — mac and cheese, cheeseburger and fries, and grilled cheese and fries. Children 5 and under attend free, and children 6 through 12 receive a reduced rate. This is a genuinely family-friendly evening that works for guests of every age.
⭐ VIP Seating Available — Preferred Center Seats and a Keepsake Photo
VIP guests receive preferred center seating with the best sightlines to both the performance stage and the ocean views, plus a keepsake photo from the professional photographer on property. General Admission guests receive the same full feast, open bar, and performance. Seating is limited to approximately 150 guests per show and VIP spots fill first, particularly on peak travel dates.
⭐ Fully Wheelchair Accessible, Rain Backup, and Free Parking
The Aloha Wailea Luau is fully wheelchair accessible with ample free parking on site. The outdoor venue moves indoors seamlessly if rain arrives, so the evening continues uninterrupted regardless of weather. Photography is encouraged throughout the evening, with a professional photographer on property.

Pro Tips from Your Fun Specialists
- Arrive at 4:45 PM when doors open. The pre-show artisan market is a genuine part of the evening, and guests who arrive at the last minute miss one of the Aloha Wailea Luau’s most distinctive features.
- Resort wear or festive attire fits the evening perfectly. Bring a light layer or wrap for the outdoor balcony breeze after the sun goes down.
- Bring a camera or keep your phone charged. Photography is actively encouraged and a professional photographer is on property if you want a formal keepsake shot (included with VIP).
- Book VIP seating if you are celebrating a special occasion. The center seats, the ocean view, and the keepsake photo make this evening feel genuinely elevated for an anniversary, birthday, or honeymoon dinner.
- Note any dietary restrictions at the time of booking. The kitchen accommodates requests made in advance far more easily than on the day of the event.
- Parking is free and ample on site at Mulligans on the Blue. Plan to arrive with a few minutes to walk from the lot to the balcony.
- Bring cash for artisan market purchases. Local vendors at the pre-show market often prefer cash for small transactions.

More About the Aloha Wailea Luau Experience
A South Maui Luau Worth Celebrating
The Aloha Wailea Luau distinguishes itself not primarily through price — though the value is genuine — but through the combination of a beautiful setting, a menu built around fresh Maui ingredients, a pre-show experience that no other South Maui luau offers, and a performance anchored by an award-winning fire knife dancer. Guests leave having experienced something that felt authentic, personal, and worth every moment of a Maui Wednesday evening.
The Setting: Mulligans on the Blue
Mulligans on the Blue is one of the most recognizable venues in South Maui, perched above the Wailea resort corridor on the Wailea Blue Golf Course with coastline views that extend from Kihei out across the Pacific. The outdoor balcony gives every guest an open-air Hawaiian evening under the stars, with the mountains behind them and the ocean stretching ahead.
The Pre-Show Artisan Market: A Genuine Cultural Introduction
The Aloha Wailea Luau starts the evening with something more deliberate: an artisan market where local Maui craftspeople bring their work directly to guests, and where cultural activities give everyone a chance to engage with the culture before watching it performed on stage. This pre-show experience is genuinely distinctive and consistently described by guests as an unexpected highlight.
The Feast: Better Than the Average Luau Buffet
The Aloha Wailea Luau menu goes beyond the standard luau buffet format. Ahi poke and Kula Greens with lilikoi vinaigrette alongside the traditional kalua pork and lomi salmon signal a kitchen that cares about what it serves. The mahi mahi comes from Maui waters. The dedicated kids menu means younger guests get food they recognize rather than a plate of adult fare they will not touch.
The Performance: Built Around a Story
The Aloha Wailea Luau’s Polynesian revue tells the story of an epic sea voyage across the Pacific through hula, Tahitian dance, and traditional ceremony. Six master dancers — three male and three female — perform alongside a live band throughout the two-hour show. The fire knife performance is one of those moments that is consistently one of the most remembered parts of the entire luau.
A Smart Choice for Guests Staying in Wailea and Kihei
Guests staying in Wailea, Kihei, or Maalaea can reach Mulligans on the Blue in five to twenty minutes depending on their exact location. For guests who want a world-class luau evening that begins and ends close to where they are staying, the Aloha Wailea Luau is the most convenient and most affordable option in South Maui.
Location: Mulligans on the Blue, Wailea Blue Golf Course
