Details

Start your experience with a fresh lei greeting and Mai Tai reception. While sipping on your Mai Tai, mingle with Polynesian artisans, learn a step or two of hula, or strum a ukulele. Then, listen for the conch shell signaling the start of the buffet and performance. After dinner, watch as performers present a spirited journey through Polynesia, highlighting historic events surrounding Keauhou. The show's rhythmic chants and dances tell the stories of Hawaii’s people, their land, and the gods they served. Distinctive cultures of the South Pacific will be showcased by a Samoan fire knife dance, the Maori songs of New Zealand, the hip-shaking Tahitian tamure, and a three-man fire knife dance. The luau is hosted by Danny Couch, award-winning recording artist.
