At Mauka Warriors Luau, seats are arranged according to each package:
Mo’i Royal Package – VIP: front seating, buffet priority, fresh flower lei, 4 drink tickets, premium souvenir
Ali’i Premium Package – Mid-level: mid-section seating, kukui nut lei, 2 drink tickets, souvenir
Koa Classic Package – Basic: back seating, traditional shell lei, 1 drink ticket
The seating chart is clear, you will be placed in the area corresponding to the package you purchased, depending on booking time and group size.
Mo’i (Royal): highest tier – front row seating, many privileges.
Ali’i (Premium): most popular and affordable – middle seats, balanced perks.
Koa (Classic): budget-friendly, still includes the full experience but fewer extras.
No matter which package you choose, you still get to enjoy the buffet, cultural show, and lei greeting.
Book early: The best seats are always given first especially Mo’i and Ali’i, the two best-selling packages. Booking early helps you secure good seating.
Seats convenient for moving: For families with young children, Ali’i (center stage) is the ideal choice: clear view and easy to move if kids need a break.
Seats directly facing the stage: To fully enjoy the performance, especially dances, fire shows, and historical storytelling, choose Mo’i for the best view. Ali’i is also a good choice if you want something more economical but still VIP-like.
Central seats allow better interaction: Many reviews say that sitting in the center area makes it easier to see and interact with the show.
Not at all crowded or overly commercial. The number of tickets each night is limited, creating a cozy, comfortable atmosphere, much more pleasant than the large luaus in Waikiki.
Deep cultural experience, not mass-market: The luau tells stories of warriors, Hawaiian history, and culture, unlike shows that are only for entertainment.
Open space, easy viewing: Although the stage is not elevated, the layout ensures everyone can see clearly.
Suitable for different audiences: Families, couples, or groups of friends can all find the best seats for their needs: privacy, convenience, or budget.

Mo’i Royal (VIP Front Seating)
“Being right in the front row made the whole experience unforgettable. We could see every detail of the fire performance and even felt the heat from the flames! The fresh flower lei and the extra drink tickets were a lovely touch. Totally worth paying extra for Mo’i seating if you want the best view and service.” – Laura, USA
Ali’i Premium (Mid-Section Seating)
“We chose Ali’i Premium since we were traveling with kids, and it was the perfect balance. The seats in the middle gave us a clear view of the stage, and it was easy to get in and out when the kids needed a break. The kukui nut lei and souvenir were nice, and overall it felt like great value for money.” – Hiroshi, Japan
Koa Classic (Back Seating)
“We went with the Koa Classic to save some money, and honestly it was still a great experience. The buffet and show were exactly the same, just our seats were a bit further back. But since the venue isn’t overly crowded, we could still see everything clearly. For budget travelers, Koa is a solid choice.” – Sophie, Canada
