A Maui Tradition For Over 20 Years
The Wailele Lu'au is the most authentic and breathtaking evening into Hawaii's culture. Time Travel to ancient Hawai'i and gain knowledge of our history through song and dance.
Torch Lighting
During the time of our ancestors, before electricity, all Polynesians lived according to the movements of the sun. Each evening we would use fire for warmth and light. The Ali'i (chiefs) would have torches lit to create the boundaries of the village. Having fire provided warmth and allowed the people of the village to travel around easily. The torches brought the 'ohana together after a hard day of work in the fields or on the ocean.
Hawaiian Islands Creation
In the Hawaiian religion, our islands are said to have been created by Wakea; the sky father, and Papa; the earth mother who together completed the creation of the Hawaiian islands.
Written within the Kumulipo, the Hawaiian creation chant we find one of the most well-known of these mythical figures the demi-god Maui. One of the most famous stories of Maui is the drawing together of the islands from the sea.
Ho'olaule'a (Celebrations)
In Hawai'i we celebrate all things with a Lu'au. Birthdays, Honeymoons, Anniversaries and Graduations are an important part of our island traditions.

Fire Making
Here in Hawai'i, we say that our hero Maui discovers the secret of making fire by capturing the Alae'ula; the Hawaiian Fire-making Mudhen, and forces her to reveal the secret. The Alae'ula instructs Maui to fashion two fire sticks made from the wood of the Hau & Sandalwood tree, the 'aulima and the 'aunaki. The ability to make fire is now shared with the people of Hawai'i, and all of Polynesia.
