Manor House Experience: Gaylord’s Gourmet Dinner and Premier Seats for Luau Kalamaku at Kilohana.
Experience an elevated evening at Luau Kalamaku: a specialized, limited‑availability package that begins with a gourmet dinner at Gaylord’s Restaurant on the Kilohana Plantation—featuring meats, fish and produce drawn from the plantation’s 60‑acre orchard—and culminates in a dramatic theatrical luau that traces the epic voyagers’ route between Hawaii and Tahiti and finishes with fire poi and traditional fire‑knife dancing.

Gaylord’s signature sit‑down menu from the Kilohana orchard
Under the direction of the Chef de Cuisine, the Manor House package offers a specialized, plated menu built around meats, fish and produce — including fruits and vegetables sourced from Kilohana Plantation’s 60‑acre orchard.
Kalamaku: a theatrical luau that tells the voyagers’ story
The evening’s centerpiece is the Kalamaku production: a staged retelling of the long Polynesian sea road between Hawaii and Tahiti that blends traditional dance, storytelling and a finale of fire poi balls and fire‑knife dancing.
An intimate mansion‑house evening with premier luau seating
Curated for guests seeking an elevated experience, the Manor House package accommodates intimate parties (from two up to celebrations of about 20) and includes premier seating and a relaxed dining format distinct from the regular buffet luau.
What the day feels like
From champagne at the manor to a torchlit march and the fire dream
The evening moves deliberately: a champagne welcome, a relaxed plated dinner at Gaylord’s, a stroll through the Manor House shops, a torchlit walk to the pavilion and then the Kalamaku theatrical luau — a program that threads laughter, seduction and ritual into a dramatic arc that finishes with a spectacular fire sequence.
