Dance Classes in Waimea, HI

Experience a Hawaiian luau on the Big Island's gorgeous Kohala coast. Start with a delicious meal that features Hawaiian and Polynesian dishes like kalua pork, fresh seafood, salads, tropical fruits and delicious desserts. Then enjoy a dance performance that tells the story of Hawaii’s Polynesian ancestors and their incredible voyages throughout the Pacific. This evening of Hawaiian food and culture is suitable for all ages, from couples on honeymoon to friends and families on vacation.

The luau is held at the beautiful Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection at Kalāhuipuaʻa, which is a historical area where ancient Hawaiians mastered the art of aquaculture and where King Kamehameha came to recuperate and work in the fishponds. Guests are welcomed with a traditional Oli (chant) in preparation for preliminary activities with the cast. After the activities, watch as the pig is taken out of the traditional imu pit before it is prepared for the Hawaiian buffet. The program is capped off by a performance of traditional and modern Hula dances, along with the spectacular Samoan Siva Afi (fire knife dance).
