Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE PERFORMANCE

An immersive story of voyagers, fire and legend

Kalamaku is presented as a theatrical luau that traces epic voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti, blending traditional hula, live music, and a spectacular fire finale that features fire poi and knife dancing — designed to place guests at the heart of Kauai mythology.

THE JOURNEY

Kauai Plantation Railway — a scenic prelude

Included in the schedule is a scenic train ride on the Kauai Plantation Railway that ferries guests from the check‑in area to the luau grounds, turning transit into part of the evening’s experience.

THE DINING

A Hawaiian feast, imu unveiling and pre‑show refreshments

The evening includes a traditional imu (underground oven) unveiling, dinner with dessert and coffee, live music and a pre‑show open bar — culinary and communal elements that accompany the theatrical program.

What the evening feels like

The flow is deliberate: round‑trip transport brings you to the plantation check‑in, a short train ride sets the scene, a relaxed pre‑show with open bar and the imu unveiling precede dinner and the main Kalamaku performance — a five‑hour arc that moves from arrival to a dramatic fire‑lit finale.
