The Big Island offers so many exciting outdoor activities, but did you know it hosts a variety of cultural experiences too? From traditional dinner luaus to romantic sunset cruises, Hawaiʻi Island offers visitors many opportunities to have a classic Hawaiian experience.

Bring the kids along for a dinner of traditionally prepared pork laulau. Study the moves of the Hawaiian hula with an authentic show. This previously forbidden dance has become a symbol of the Polynesian culture of the islands. See dolphins splashing alongside the boat on a catamaran cruise. If romance is what you are looking for, a sunset sail in this tropical paradise is just the thing.

With so many outdoor activities, the shows and cruises available on the Big Island are sometimes overlooked. But it’s these activities—dinner shows, dance performances, and daytime or sunset sailing cruises—that offer guests an opportunity to be both entertained and learn a little more about this volcanic island!
