After a short intermission, come journey with us through the Pacific starting in the beautiful islands of Hawai’i.

Enjoy classic Hawaiian favorites through mele, oli, and traditional hula as we honor our cultural stories. We’ll then take you to New Zealand, introducing you to the captivating songs and dances of our brothers and sisters of Aotearoa. On to Tahiti, the vigorous lively energy of our relatives in the south will enchant you with dances and songs of old and new. The final stop on this journey brings us to Samoa, where we celebrate the element of fire and the dazzling skills of fire knife dancing. We’ll then end the evening with 10-15 minutes of live traditional Hawaiian music.

Our hula show is a celebration of Hawaii's rich cultural heritage, and we hope it will leave you feeling inspired, uplifted, and full of aloha.

For over two decades, the Lahaina Bird Stand was a beloved attraction on Front Street in Lahaina, bringing joy to visitors from around the world. Many returning guests still have photos taken by David and Barrie with their brilliant birds.

After the tragic Lahaina fire in August 2023, we’re grateful that David, Barrie, and the birds made it to safety—and even more grateful to now host them at South Maui Gardens. This exclusive photo add-on is not only a fun experience, but a way to preserve the spirit of old Lahaina and carry its aloha into the future.
