Oh so touristy,
but so much fun in the right setting! Although a variety of food is offered
at most luaus, look for those with an Imu ceremony - where a pig that has
been roasting all day in an underground oven is uncovered to start the
feast. Be prepared to spend from $60 to $100 per adult (depending on the
package) and, thankfully, less for kids. Before you make your reservation,
do a little homework and find out what types of food are served and the type
of entertainment presented. The professionalism and enthusiasm of the luau
staff have a lot to do with the success of any luau.
Rating luaus is a tricky things and often a person's memory of the event
is influenced by the factors unrelated to the food or entertainment.
The three we present below are considered by many to the be the best on
Oahu, but we urge you to take a look at the websites we reference and decide
for yourself.
The luau and show lasts approximately three hours (from 6pm to 9pm), but the transportation service, which is complimentary from major hotels, leaves Waikiki a little before 5pm. For more information, Germaine's web site can be found at
Ali’o Luau at the Polynesian cultural center Located in Laie (near Oahu's north shore) at 55-370 Kamehameha Highway, the Polynesian Cultural Center is affiliated with the local campus of Brigham Young University and does not serve alcohol at its luau. However, the Center's indoor luau features high quality food and good entertainment. For detailed information and pricing see http://www.polynesia.com/ticketing/alii-luau.html
The Polynesian Cultural Center, located about an hour's drive from Waikiki, has emerged as one of the most popular attractions in Oahu over the last decade. The 42 acre Center contains replicas of seven native villages representing Hawai'ian and other Polynesian cultures. In addition, it offers an indoor luau and stage show. Many visit to see the villages and stay for the indoor luau. Visit the Cultural Center's web site for more information.
