About Luau
A luau is the quintessential Hawaiian celebration — a feast of traditional food, music, and dance that has been bringing communities together for centuries. Big Island luaus range from intimate, culturally focused gatherings to spectacular resort productions, all centered around the traditions of Hawaiian hospitality.
The centerpiece of every luau is the imu ceremony — the unearthing of a whole pig that has been slow-roasting in an underground oven since early morning, wrapped in banana and ti leaves. This dramatic reveal kicks off a feast that typically includes poi, lomi lomi salmon, chicken long rice, haupia (coconut pudding), kalua pork, and a selection of island-inspired dishes.
Entertainment at Big Island luaus features live Hawaiian music, traditional and contemporary hula performances telling stories through dance, and often culminates with a thrilling Samoan fire knife dance. Many luaus also offer pre-dinner activities including lei greeting, Hawaiian crafts, cultural demonstrations, and tropical cocktails.
The Big Island offers luaus in various settings — from oceanfront resort venues with sunset views to more intimate spaces that emphasize cultural education and community connection. Whether you prefer a large-scale production or an authentic family-style gathering, a luau is an essential Big Island experience.
