Which Big Island Luau should you choose? Many are offered at discount pricing.
Every Big Island Luau is located along the leeward
coastline of the island where the weather conditions are usually calm and sunny. But which Big Island Luau should you choose? We have them here broken down by location, either in the Kailua-Kona area or in Waikoloa. We have also included for you here a
History of Luau and
Luau Food.
Waikoloa Area
Hawaii Loa Luau Sometimes special events are worth waiting for! In this case this sensational luau located at the Fairmont Orchid Hotel in Waikoloa is only available on Saturdays, so you need to plan ahead. The theme of this luau gravitates around the Hawaiian explorer 'Hawaii-Loa' who famously fell in love with Hawaii after a long voyage of discovery from Tahiti. He traveled back and forth a number of times and finally made his home in this area which later became an important location for the 'Alii', or Hawaiian royalty. Everything about this luau exudes quality from the delicious buffet and open bar cocktails to the exceptional Polynesian entertainment. You can choose between regular seating or preferred seating up front. You will particularly love the finale fire-dance performance.

Excellent!!! Beautiful place, great food and entertainment !!!! I definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Waikoloa Beach Marriott Luau Located on the grounds of the Waikoloa Beach Marriott this luau provides another upscale option for a great evening of food, drink and entertainment. Much of the produce is provided 'farm to table' from the fertile locations in the upcountry Big Island areas. Regular seating is available throughout but can be upgraded to premium seating if still available. All the major cultures of the South Pacific are represented including Tahiti, New Zealand, Hawaii and Samoa. The luau buffet and an open bar are included with all seating arrangements and the evening will be topped off with a sensational fire-knife dance.
Client Keith
Great Fun. Loved it. We had some trepidation about just taking the regular seating without the upgrade but we were just as happy with where we were seated. We would do it again!
Kailua-Kona Area
Island Breeze Luau King Kamehameha was the greatest and most well known monarch in all Hawaii's history and this luau takes place on the location of what was his private beach estate. This beautiful ocean side location is just steps away from Old Kailua-Kona and the hustle and bustle of this Hawaii beach town. Hawaii crafts and demonstrations will begin your evening making this event a great one for the children. After the unearthing of the Imu where the traditional kalua pork (pig) is cooked you will be treated to a giant feast of Hawaiian and South Seas taste treats. A premium cash bar is available if you wish. As the evening winds down the stage will heat up with a stunning display of the traditional Samoan Fire Knife Dance.

Very enjoyable. Food and drinks were excellent and the dancing and singing was more than I could have asked for. Recommend to anyone visiting Kona.

Fantastic! The food and show was excellent. Did not know what to expect and we were not disappointed!
Haleo Luau Sheraton Keauhou This particular luau celebrates the area that surrounds it, the region of Keauhou. This important region of Hawaii is one of a series of Ahupua'a (individual slices of land ranging from the top of the mountain to the sea) that is steeped in Hawaiian history. This was the birthplace of Kamehameha lll, was the location of a number of battles that united the Hawaiian kingdom and and is the home of some serious surf spots. All this is told in story, dance and chants at the Haleo Luau. Your luau will include a full Polynesian buffet, an open bar and live entertainment which will include the Samoan Fire Knife Dance.

It is true that this was our very first luau, but I can't imagine it being any better. We met some great people there and we really enjoyed ourselves.
