There is Hawaii the state, and there is Hawaii the island, commonly known as the Big Island. The state is made up of eight main islands and numerous smaller islands. If the Big Island is your destination, you can enjoy a Hawaii luau to learn about the cuisine and the culture.
Hawaii is called the Big Island because it far surpasses the other islands in size. However, the island of Oahu is the most densely populated. The Big Island boasts five volcanoes and its beautiful surrounding waters have whales and dolphins and colorful coral reefs. Hotel guests lunching on the patios frequently enjoy whale sightings. The traditional luau is a wonderful way to experience some Hawaiian culture.
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.
At the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel you will discover the Island Breeze Luau. Guests are greeted by being adorned with a shell lei. They are given some free time to explore the array of arts and crafts presented. The evening would not be complete without a pig cooked in an underground oven called an imu. Retrieving the pig from the imu is a ceremony that shows the ancient way food was and still is prepared. The main attraction for this event is the Royal Court making a grand entrance dressed in traditional royal garb. The excitement mounts as the outrigger canoe approaches. Finally, the buffet is spread out and guests are entertained with a Polynesian revue.
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.
If your interests lie in history, the Haleo Luau presented by the Sheraton Kona Resort should be your choice. It is centered around the island history and tradition. The guests sit under the stars and the hala trees and become completely drawn into the culture and history of Hawaii. The revue tells historical stories, such as depicting the birth of one of the most well known kings, King Kamehameha III. King Kalakaua magical surfing stories are also presented. Many people are not aware that for most of its history Hawaii was a monarchy.
The Royal Kona Resort offers the Royal Kona Luau, which is similar to the Island Breeze. This one is billed as the best value. The revue uses dance and song to describe the story of ancient Polynesians making an epic journey across the Pacific Ocean and finally settling in Kona. True to the Polynesian theme, the last dance is the impressive 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.
