Choose A Hawaii Luau For Culture And Cuisine

Hawaii is comprised of eight major islands and many smaller islands and atolls. These islands all cater to tourists, yet each island has its own character. You can participate in a Hawaii luau on any of the islands. The collection of islands is known as Hawaii, and the largest island is also called Hawaii. It is by far the largest in size, but not in population.

Hawaii is called the Big Island. This nickname may be to eliminate confusion of the outsiders and to help them distinguish the Hawaii island from the state of the same name. Kona coffee plantations are big on the island and an important source of revenue. The five volcanoes alone would be worth the trip. The surrounding Pacific Ocean is home to vibrant coral reefs and dolphins and whales.

The luaus typically last three to four hours. Most of the luxurious hotels located on the Big Island hold their own feast, each with a different underlying theme. Any one of these will give you an evening to remember.

The Island Breeze Luau is one exciting event. It is held at the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Resort. The guests are greeted with a warm shell lei. They are given time to peruse the assorted arts and crafts. The traditional removal of the pig from the imu underground oven is observed. The exciting main event takes place as guests watch the outrigger canoe bringing the Royal Court to shore adorned in full historic regalia. The buffet and Polynesian revue follow with traditional Hawaiian entertainment.

The Fairmont Orchid Hotel proudly presents the Gathering of the Kings Luau. The menu is combination of Hawaiian and Polynesian cuisine. Most of the dishes are fairly exotic, but the menu includes some kid dishes like macaroni and cheese. Guests will be entertained with choreography that combines modern and Polynesian dance. The show also presents hula dancers and a grand finale of the knife and fire dance.

You might select the Haleo Luau at the Sheraton Kona Resort. This particular one focuses strongly on the history of the culture and is most educational for the guests. The events are held under the hala trees where guests are immersed in the Hawaiian culture and history. The show will tell the stories of significant events in history, like the birth of King Kamehameha III and the surfing stories from another king, King Kalakaua. Many westerns do not realize that Hawaii was a monarchy for most of its history.

The Royal Kona Luau at the Royal Kona Resort is most like the Island Breeze at the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel but is described as the best value. The show tells the story of the ancient Polynesian journey traveling thousands of miles by way of the Pacific Ocean to make their home in Kona. The evening ends with a Samoan fire dance.

All of these luaus would make an excellent choice. You cannot go wrong. Each share the traditional elements, yet each theme is unique and exceptionally interesting. If your stay is long enough, you might want to try them all.
