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 commonly referred to as the Big Island. All of the other seven main islands combined do not come close to it in size. The big island is home to five volcanoes, Kona coffee plantations and its surrounding waters are home to whales, dolphins and breathtaking coral reefs. A luau is a great way to experience Hawaiian cuisine and culture.
The festivities usually last about three and a half hours. Most luaus held here are presented by a high end hotel located on the Big Island. Each luau follows a different theme, but maintains the traditions of the feast.
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 Gathering of the Kings Luau is at the Fairmont Orchid Hotel. The food is a fusion of Polynesian and Hawaiian. The full menu includes exotic foods and simpler items such as macaroni and cheese for the kids. A mixture of Polynesian and modern dance will tell the stories of the kings and how each king is forever linked to the one star that guided him. The revue includes hula dancers and a knife and fire dance. Breathe taking from beginning to end.
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 Resort holds the Royal Kona Luau which has many similarities to the Island Breeze Luau. The Royal Kona is advertised as the best value. The history of ancient Polynesians and their long journey to the shores of Kona is told through song and dance. Their sailing on the Pacific Ocean was a tremendous accomplishment for that time. In keeping with the Polynesian theme, the evening closes with a Samoan fire dance.
Visitors and locals cannot go wrong with any of these selections. Each has a flavor all its own, and each has the all the traditional common elements of this Hawaiian feast. Enjoy your evening in paradise.
