Big Island Surfing & SUP Tour FAQs
What is a lu’au?
A lu’au is a traditional Hawaiian feast and celebration, accompanied by Hawaiian music, hula dancing, and other cultural performances. Lu’aus are a way to celebrate important events, such as birthdays, weddings, or community gatherings. They offer a unique opportunity for visitors to experience and learn about Hawaiian culture, history, and cuisine.
Why are lu’aus a must-see?

Lu’aus are a must-see for several reasons:

  • Cultural experience: Lu’aus offer an authentic and immersive Hawaiian cultural experience, including traditional music, dance, and storytelling.
  • Unique cuisine: They feature a variety of delicious, traditional Hawaiian dishes that are difficult to find elsewhere.
  • Entertainment: The performances at a lu’au are entertaining and engaging, making it a memorable event for visitors of all ages.
  • Socializing: Lu’aus are an excellent opportunity to meet and interact with locals and other visitors in a friendly and welcoming environment.
What kind of food is served at a lu’au?

A typical lu’au offers a wide range of traditional Hawaiian dishes, including:

  • Kalua pig: A whole pig is cooked in an underground oven called an imu, resulting in tender, smoky meat.
  • Poi: A starchy dish made from taro root, pounded and mixed with water.
  • Lomi lomi salmon: A cold salad made from raw, diced salmon, tomatoes, and onions, seasoned with Hawaiian sea salt.
  • Poke: Raw, marinated fish, usually ahi (tuna), served as an appetizer.
  • Laulau: Pork, chicken, or fish wrapped in taro or ti leaves and steamed.
  • Haupia: A coconut milk-based dessert with a consistency similar to gelatin.
  • Fresh fruits: Locally-grown fruits like pineapple, papaya, and mango are often served.
What is the typical length of a lu’au?
A lu’au typically lasts between 3 to 4 hours. The event usually starts with a welcoming ceremony and the uncovering of the kalua pig from the imu. This is followed by a buffet-style meal, where guests can enjoy a variety of Hawaiian dishes. Afterward, the entertainment portion of the evening begins, featuring hula dancing, music, and storytelling.
What topics are covered by a lu’au?

Lu’aus often cover various aspects of Hawaiian culture and history, including:

  • Ancient Hawaiian myths and legends: Storytelling is an integral part of a lu’au, often featuring tales of gods, goddesses, and heroes from Hawaiian mythology.
  • Hula: Performances include both traditional and modern hula dances, accompanied by live music, chanting, and singing.
  • Traditional instruments: Lu’aus showcase various Hawaiian musical instruments, such as the ukulele, slack-key guitar, and traditional percussion instruments like the ipu (gourd drum).
  • Cultural customs: Guests can learn about traditional Hawaiian practices, such as lei-making, tattooing, and navigating by the stars.

Attending a lu’au is a great way to immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture and enjoy a memorable evening of food, entertainment, and learning.
