Luau Kalamaku - Gaylords at Kilohana
Luau Kalamaku expresses the amazing and uncommon stories of Polynesian migration to Hawaii through a new musical form... the theatrical luau.

Kalamaku, child of the new land, carries a fiery torch of one family's future. Celebrate through story and song the primal rhythm of Kauai. Explore the depths of the family's great effort as they seek the courage and vision that will carry them far over the horizon.

It is during the time of epic voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti, along one of the longest sea roads of Polynesia, that our journey takes place. Through laughter, fear, seduction and fire, a new legacy is created, born from the cherished seeds of their ancestors.

Our theatrical luau culminates with a fantastic fire dream featuring poi balls and traditional fire knife dancing. In a climactic ending, Pele the fire goddess, her sister Hi'iaka, Lohi'au the prince of Kauai, and the fire-breathing Mo'o dragon women pay homage to Kauai mythology.
