Te Au Moana Luau
Experience The Real Hawaii!
Tour Overview
About Te Au Moana Luau Te Au Moana, which translates to “the ocean tide,” has always been a constant throughout Oceania, connecting our islands, peoples, and generations. Our Polynesian ancestors traversed these ocean tides for centuries and revered them for their life-sustaining properties. Their stories – which spoke of their expert skills in fishing, gathering, and voyaging – demonstrated the tremendous depths of knowledge and respect they had for the Earth and its elements. As Hawaii’s premier entertainment company, Tihati Productions endeavors to bring these stories to life at our incredible lūʻau, Te Au Moana: The Ocean Tide. We invite you to dine as the ocean sits peacefully before you, as it has for thousands of years. We ask you to dance under the Maui skies. The moon and stars await you, as do all the fascinating stories at Te Au Moana: The Ocean Tide, a spectacular lūʻau experience like no other!
