About Hawaii Loa Luau

Hawaii Loa Luau 3 hours

Spend the evening on the Kohala Coast surrounded by palms, torchlight and open sky at Hawai'i Loa Luau. The setting beside historic Kalahuipua'a gives the night a strong sense of place, with music, dance and storytelling centered on the voyagers and traditions that shaped Polynesia.

Before the main show begins, you can meet members of the cast, try traditional games and enjoy a drink from the hosted bar. When the conch shell sounds, dinner opens with a generous buffet featuring island flavors, fresh seafood, grilled meats and Big Island ingredients.

After dinner, the evening moves into live music, hula, drumming and Polynesian dance, building toward a fire-knife finale under the stars.
