Arriving at the resort
The venue is the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, 3550 Wailea Alanui Drive. Valet parking is complimentary, so there is nothing to arrange before you go.
The lei greeting
A traditional lei greeting opens the evening. It is the first of several pre-show touches that include cultural activities and a commemorative photo.
Cultural activities first
Before the meal, guests move around the lawn through cultural activities. Reviewers mention a temporary-tattoo stamp station and a photographer taking family pictures.
Dinner and drinks
The meal runs to three courses, shared ʻohana style and plated by executive chef Isaac Bancaco. The open bar pours handcrafted cocktails personalised to your liking.
The storytelling
Your host tells the story of the first Polynesians on Maui and how the ahupuaʻa was settled, and gives a sense of Hawaiian values. Guests describe it as interactive.
Hula and the fire dancers
Hula and fire dancers perform on the grass. Check availability on GetYourGuide for the starting times; your voucher shows the time for your date.
