You’ll say “wowee” when you come to Maui to experience Ulalena, the apex of Hawaiian theatre. Hear the legend of Ulalena, as told in the Hawaiian epic Kumulipo. Ulalena, a wind unique to Maui, is also a red rain, perhaps one inspired by Pele herself. And like the mythical wind and rain, Ulalena is not only uniquely Hawaiian, it is incredibly diverse.

In Ulalena, you’ll see artists perform Butoh, an eerie “dance of the dark soul,” as well as the traditional Hawaiian hula, chants and dances. The dancers perform the story of Hawaii’s history, from the beginning of the Kumulipo to ocean navigation and European exploration and settlement. Learn about Hawaiian deities like the demi-god Maui, the lizard spirit Mo’o, and Makahiki, the god of agriculture. See and hear the rise and fall of King Kamehameha and the collapse of Hawaiian monarchy. Experience the dazzling volcanic eruptions of Pele.

This is a chance of a lifetime to hear the magnificent tales of Hawaiian history in a multimillion state-of-the-art theater, complete with eight channel surround sound and comfortable seating. You’ll truly feel up close and personal with these acrobatic performers in their rich and opulent costumes. What’s more, this island drama is splendidly lit, highlighting Hawaiian nature and its varied and unique landscapes of volcanoes, oceans and rainforests. Not only is Ulalena a feast for the ears and eyes, it is an education in the cycles of Hawaiian mythology and spirituality. Forget Vegas—come to Maui and experience true splendor and brilliance. And guess what? We offer standard, premium, dinner and VIP packages for your convenience.

Ulalena is a jeweled adventure from beginning to end, one you’ll cherish for years to come.
