Venue review

The musician's read

With room for roughly 240 and an All Ages policy, Tahiti Nua is part of the live-music circuit in Hanalei, Hawaii. If you are looking for onolicious food, live music and a warm, friendly atmosphere, Tahiti Nui in the heart of Hanalei will welcome you with open arms. Since opening in May 1963, Tahiti Nui has been family run and operated and continues to serve and entertain patrons with the same casual, romantic vibe found only in Hanalei. The Tahiti Nua calendar is open to All Genres. Tahiti Nua accepts booking inquiries by email. Tahiti Nua’s production package is not confirmed, so PA, monitoring, backline, and staffing need direct agreement. Tahiti Nua’s total - 120 restaurant/bar (inside), 120 luau area (outside) capacity detail should be factored into the stage and audience plan. Final timing and event-specific arrangements with Tahiti Nua need agreement before the show is announced.
