Our family had a blast at this Luau! We got there at 5pm as requested - slightly worried we were late but there was plenty of time to drink the fruity bottom shelf cocktails and find lots of cool local artisans selling their wares. We scored a few cool items like photos necklaces etc. Ths show started and one of this kids are our table started barfing under the table and then his drubk dad fell out of his chair rolling around in the barf. He recovered just as the Hula Dancers were taking the stage. When the large Mom from that family got back from the dessert table - she realiized she better take them togo because her boys were a mess. Anyhow - after some uncontrollable laughter from this SNL like sketch - we recovredd and very much enjoyed the show and felt bad for the drunk barfing family who missed the amazing local talent on display. We loved the food and all the entertainment really delivered!! 5 stars and lots of lols.

Experience a Hawaiian evening with a buffet luau feast, open bar, cultural show, and artisan craft fair all in one immersive package.

Browse handmade crafts by local artisans at the pre-show fair—perfect for unique souvenirs and a glimpse into island craftsmanship.

Know your leis:

What is a lei? A garland or wreath worn around your neck, as a symbol of love, honor, respect, celebration, and friendship in Hawaiian culture.

Flower lei: Made with seasonal flowers & leaves, these leis symbolize the Aloha spirit and are presented as a welcome gesture and are a sign of celebration, affection, and friendship.

Imu & Imu ceremony: Imus are large underground ovens used in cooking, typically in luaus or other festive celebrations. The imu is prepared by digging a pit, heating rocks inside it, layering it with vegetation and the food, and finally covering it for an extended period of time till the food is steamed & roasted. The Imu ceremony is the process of uncovering the lid, taking the prepared food out, and preparing it for the luau, to showcase the art of this ancient cooking method in practice.

Hula: An ancient Hawaiian dance form and form of storytelling, often with instruments. The chants narrate the story of Hawaiian history, nature, traditions, & mythology. Modern interpretations include singing and ukulele.
