Drums of the Pacific Luau – Hyatt Regency Maui

The Hyatt Kaanapali Luau, also known as the Drums of the Pacific, is the best Maui resort luau in Kaanapali. The Sunset Terrace provides the backdrop for the wonderful Drums of the Pacific luau. With a recent upgrade to the grounds, the Drums of the Pacific has created a spacious seating arrangement that is comfortable with great views of the show. Luaus on Maui are a cultural activity that shares the history of Hawaii in the form of dinner theater.

With so many influences shaping the culture of Hawaii, a luau provides a great opportunity to understand how the Hawaiian people became who they are. Thousands of years ago the islands that makeup Polynesia came together as one in Hawaii. From Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, Cook Islands, and elsewhere in the South Pacific are the ancestral roots of Hawaii. It is from here that our story unfolds. Ancient Hawaiians didn’t have a written language. History was told through stories that became the origins of hula dancing. Through the graceful movement of the hula dancer the myths, legends, and history of Hawaii were told for thousands of years.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel presents the Drums of the Pacific Hyatt Maui Luau, an exciting journey through the history of the culture of Hawaii. As the sun sets into the ocean and the beat of the drum signals the beginning of a festive night of entertainment with a show that includes dances from all the major Islands representing the Polynesian culture. Your Kaanapali beachfront evening will be enchanting as the story of Hawaii is relived through song and dance. The Drums of the Pacific has added an additional Samoan fire-knife dancer closing out an outstanding show in dramatic fashion.

With the upgrade to VIP seating, you can skip the line at check-in, receive a fresh plumeria lei for the ladies or a kukui nut lei for the men, and sit closer to the stage. These seats sell out first, as they are limited. If you are planning to select this seating at the Hyatt, book as far out in advance as possible.
