Get ready to immerse yourself in an extraordinary display of Hawaiian culture as The Ritz-Carlton Maui proudly debuts 'Tales of the Kapa Moe,' a brand new lūʻau and dinner show. Starting July 18, this sensory feast will take guests on a mesmerizing journey through captivating Hawaiian stories and traditions.
A Show Like No Other
Held at the recently renovated Aloha Garden Pavilion, 'Tales of the Kapa Moe' will enthrall audiences with authentic Hawaiian chanting and hula, all set against a backdrop of beautifully handmade costumes, an aerial performance, and a gripping fire knife dance.
"Our guests have always appreciated the authentic cultural experiences at our resort, and this is the perfect way for them to enjoy something new and unique," said Andrew Rogers, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton Maui.
A Living Tribute to Hawaiian Culture
The lūʻau show, a brainchild of kumu hula and cultural practitioner Pono Murray, brings the lore of Hawaiian ancestors to life. It's a remarkable evening filled with excitement, creativity, and wonder, transcending the typical lūʻau expectations while still holding true to powerful Hawaiian presentations.
"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 lūʻau, yet remains deeply rooted within the rich and powerful presentations of Hawaiʻi. The chanting is live, costuming is handmade, and dances are sultry, vibrant, and explosive," Murray said.
More Than Just a Show
The 'Tales of the Kapa Moe' is not merely a spectacle, but an immersive cultural experience. The event features a fresh flower lei greeting, ʻukulele and hula lessons, ʻulu maika (Hawaiian bowling) games, and local crafts. The lūʻau is also a culinary delight, offering a gourmet island-style dinner with delicacies like whole roasted pork, braised beef short ribs, huli huli chicken, and a create-your-own poke bar, all paired perfectly with handcrafted cocktails.
