The new show features Hawaiian chanting and hula, beautifully handmade costumes, an aerial performance and a dramatic fire knife dance.

KAPALUA — The Ritz-Carlton Maui on July 18 launched its latest offering, “Tales of the Kapa Moe,” a brand-new luau and dinner show.

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.

“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.”

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.
