Old Lahaina Luau features a traditional Hawaiian luau experience with an oceanside setting and authentic performances, including hula and storytelling. The venue provides a thoughtfully designed vegan menu with substitutes matching every non-vegan dish, such as seitan steak and breadfruit hummus, and offers table service rather than buffet since 2020. While the experience is premium priced around $230 per person, guests appreciate the cultural education, attentive service, and well-executed vegan dishes despite some concerns over dessert simplicity and occasional rushed service.
