Traditional ceremonies, food, celebrations, dance, music, and entertainment all come together to create a one-of-a-kind experience that you won’t find anywhere else. Right from the elaborate feast to the extravagant festivities, it’s a Hawaiian tradition you simply cannot miss.
If you are in Oahu and want an immersive cultural experience without having to leave the island, then you can opt for one of the luaus in Oahu. They are located in different areas across Waikiki, central Kapolei, and Kapolei’s shoreside, and take place nearly every day, so you can select one that is most accessible and suitable for you. Each luau is different in terms of the cultural activities, food, and type of show it offers, so if you want to enjoy multiple luau experiences during your visit, you will have a variety of options to choose from.
Recommended experiences:
If you are interested in a historic day trip off the island of Oahu, you can visit the Kilohana Plantation in Lihue, Kauai. The Lu’au Kalamaku takes place on the plantation grounds that you can explore during the day before the festivities begin. They have a scenic train ride that takes you around the grounds, an artisan market filled with local artifacts, art, souvenirs, and more, an agricultural park you can explore, and multiple shops and restaurants you can visit. The performance is focused on the history of the land and its people, and the luau menu offers various modern adaptations to traditional Hawaiian cuisine, as well as staple luau feast items.
Recommended experiences:
While all luaus have staple Hawaiian food items such as the Kalua pork, rice, seasonal fish and vegetable dishes, coconut and pineapple-based foods, each one offers their own take on the rich and flavorful cuisine. You can find the menu for each luau below.
The food items are seasonal and subject to change based on availability.
Each luau experience comes with its own charm, and they all share the following common elements. Your itinerary or schedule will include:
