BIG ISLAND LUAUS

Take In An Authentic Luau Experience Like No Other

BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII LUAUS

While luaus were hardly traditional in ancient Hawaii (kapu laws dictated that men and women weren’t allowed to eat together), today they are a quintessential aspect of any Hawaiian vacation. Check out this top-rated luau.

Big Island Luaus Reviews
Sightseeing can also be done in the sky, on the ocean or even in the ocean (in a submarine). We have a lot of tour options to choose from. Take a Pro Photography helicopter tour to spend more time shooting beautiful scenes or choose a thrilling ride like you may have seen in popular shows about Hawaii, including Magnum PI. Go under the sea and visit some shipwrecks or cruise on the ocean at sunset and have a romantic dinner.

An Introduction To Big Islandʻs Luaus

Who can resist an evening that begins with a lei ceremony and leads into a night filled with Polynesian history, hula dancers, fire dancers, and a expansive Hawaiian feast of many dishes including poi, kalua pork, and taro rolls? (Oh, and don’t forget the mai tais!) As an added bonus, it’s also a great opportunity to meet and mingle with fellow visitors. Dine, drink, and dance together under the Hawaiian sky for a memorable night on the Big Island!

Big Island Fun Fact

Hawaiian Beauty Standards

Ancient Hawaiians believed that the heavier a woman, especially a chiefess, the more beautiful she was. Being well fed denoted her wealth and rank. (So eat up, ladies!)
