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 called the Big Island. This nickname may be to eliminate confusion of the outsiders and to help them distinguish the Hawaii island from the state of the same name. Kona coffee plantations are big on the island and an important source of revenue. The five volcanoes alone would be worth the trip. The surrounding Pacific Ocean is home to vibrant coral reefs and dolphins and whales.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
