About Us
Celebrating All Polynesian History
Our Oahu Luau intends to give you an authentic appreciation of Polynesian culture
Why We Started Mauka Warriors Luau
We saw the need for a true cultural experience on the island—one that could honor and celebrate forgotten Hawaiian history while educating our community.
We have since developed Maukua Warriors Luau as a unique and special way to partake in Oceana’s food, traditions, and customs. Guests find that our dinner show’s educational, historical, and family-oriented aspects are markedly different from the commercialized luaus offered throughout the island.
As proud Polynesians, we saw an opportunity to honor all of our heritage while still embracing the Spirit of Aloha. Our goal was not just to create another entertaining night under the stars, but a deeply immersive experience into the heart of Polynesian culture.
Our Mission
- Respect for the history and traditions of Polynesian culture
- Inclusivity for all cultures and backgrounds
- Education through immersive performances and interactive activities
- Sustainability in our practices and support of locally-owned businesses
What Makes Us Different From Other Oahu Luaus?
Ever since our launch in 2023, we have been committed to providing a culturally respectful experience. Here are just a few things that set us apart:
Education-Focused
We’ve enlisted cultural experts from across Polynesia to guarantee our Oahu Luau is genuine and educational. Each of these local professionals provides our guests with a genuine cultural immersion experience.
Innovative Guest-Centric Approach
Mauka Warriors Luau isn’t just a performance and buffet. Our guests can participate in interactive activities, including hula lessons, temporary cultural tattoos, headband weaving, and kava testing to immerse themselves in the culture.
Culturally-Significant Practices
Our interactive Oahu Luau is held near the hollowed ground of the Battle of Kipapa, a significant historical location for both Polynesians and military veterans. We also bless each guest with a Hawaiian lei and use an outdoor umu kitchen, just like our ancestors did.
Polynesian and Veteran-Owned
As proud and local Polynesians, we have a deep understanding and connection to the culture and are dedicated to sharing it with our guests. Plus, our military background plays an important role in our storytelling, honoring the history and sacrifices of those who have served.
