The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua has unveiled a brand-new luxury luau and dinner show in West Maui, called Tales of the Kapa Moe, which immerses guests in a magical journey through Hawaii's captivating stories, culture and traditions.
"Our dreams spark magic and inspiration," said kumu hula and cultural practitioner Pono Murray, who created the show. "In Tales of the Kapa Moe, the stories of our ancestors come alive in a night of excitement, creativity and wonder. This mesmerizing experience goes above and beyond the expected luau, yet remains deeply rooted within the rich and powerful presentations of Hawaii. The chanting is live, costuming is handmade, and dances are sultry, vibrant and explosive."
Located in the newly renovated Aloha Garden Pavilion, Tales of the Kapa Moe showcases authentic Hawaiian chanting and hula, beautifully handmade costumes, an aerial performance, and a dramatic fire knife dance.
Tales of the Kapa Moe has been designed exclusively for The Ritz-Carlton Maui to celebrate the stories of the Hawaiian people.
"During the Tales of the Kapa Moe, dreams become reality. Feelings are awakened. Emotions are freed," said Clifford Naeole, Hawaiian cultural advisor at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua. "This luau is truly a feast for all senses, and unlike anything else in the Hawaiian Islands."
In addition to a dazzling theatrical show, Tales of the Kapa Moe features a fresh flower lei greeting, ukulele and hula lessons, ulu maika (Hawaiian bowling) games, and local crafts.
A gourmet island-style dinner includes items like whole roasted pork, braised beef short ribs, huli huli chicken, and a create-your-own poke bar, along with handcrafted cocktails to toast to a perfect day in paradise.
