Step into a world where the ocean whispers stories of ancient gods, fearless navigators, and island royalty. Makali‘i – The Rising Star of the Pacific is Maui’s only indoor theatrical Polynesian revue—a spellbinding fusion of culture, myth, and modern spectacle.

Be greeted with a handcrafted mai tai and settle into your seat as the journey begins. Through powerful storytelling, vibrant dance, pounding Tahitian drums, Māori war chants, and immersive visuals, Makali‘i brings to life the rich traditions of Hawai‘i, Tahiti, Aotearoa, and Samoa.

Named after the star cluster Pleiades—Makali‘i in Hawaiian—this epic show honors the season of Makahiki, a time of peace and renewal. At its heart, it tells a universal tale of light triumphing over darkness, rooted in Polynesian heritage and retold through theatrical flair.
