Luaus on the Big Island of Hawaii
Thursday, October 6th, 2011
What trip to Hawaii would be complete without the spectacular cultural experience of a Luau? Featuring traditional foods and entertainment, these gatherings highlight legends, music, dance, storytelling, and the spirit of the native islanders.
With entertainment options available all along the Kona Coast, any group looking for a unique experience can find one. Selections include The Sunset Luau at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott, Legends of the Pacific Luau at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, the Gathering of the Kings Luau at the Fairmont Orchid Plantation Estate, the Luau at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, and the Island Breeze Hawaiian Luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel in Kona.
These luaus range from the traditional to more unique evolved performances and between the multiple venues, are offered almost every night of the week. Each one is distinct and unique from the others. Each has chosen its own focal point, yet the heart of the luau is evident in each performance as they join people together to share in incredibly tasty meals, and embrace the island ways of life through song and dance under the stars.

The Marriott offers a traditional Hawaiian luau, also known as the Royal Luau, on a lawn area with beach and sunset views. The Marriott offers the most convenient location for Waikoloa Beach Resort guests. Priced at $93.75 for an adult and $41.67 for children 6-12, it is one of the best values in the area. As you enter the grounds around 5 pm, you will be greeted with a lei and a mai tai (by the way this luau is one of the few luaus that offers complementary open bar). The luau will begin with the imu ceremony and then as the sunsets you will enjoy dinner. As you finish dinner the show will start and take you on a journey through Polynesia. The show closes with an exciting fire dancer. The Royal Luau at The Waikoloa Beach Resort Marriott is offered on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
