About this tour
Experience a Hawaiian evening where storytelling, food, and fire share the spotlight at Luau Kalamaku on Kauai. The show is performed in the round, giving guests views of the stage from every side.
Your visit includes a lei greeting, a buffet dinner featuring local Hawaiian favorites, and an open bar until the main show begins. The evening’s theatrical performance follows the legend of Kalamaku, the “child of the new land,” through a tale of laughter, fear, seduction, and fire. Watch the story build to a finale with fire poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing. The experience also features the unearthing of a pig from an imu, a traditional underground oven, and a hula lesson. A craft fair with items by local artisans takes place on the sprawling lawn.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.32 on Viator and 4.37 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Kauai
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 3.6.
