About Hawaii Loa Luau
Spend the evening at Hawaii Loa Luau on the grounds of Fairmont Orchid along the Kohala Coast, with cultural activities, a hosted bar, island-style buffet dinner and a Polynesian show inspired by Hawai'iloa, ocean voyaging and the stories of Hawaii.
As dusk settles over the Kohala Coast, you stroll beneath swaying palms to an open-air orchard where kings once gathered to feast. Tonight the stars are your ceiling and fiery torches mark the stage for Hawai'i Loa, a journey that celebrates ancient voyagers and the traditions they carried across the Pacific. Musicians strum island rhythms, dancers bring legends to life, and the pulse of the toere drum invites you to share in the story.
Before the show, meet the performers, try your hand at traditional games, and sip a tropical cocktail from the hosted bar. When the conch shell sounds, follow the aroma of kiawe-smoked pork to an abundant buffet showcasing the Big Island's freshest flavors. With plate in hand, settle at your table and watch the night unfold—highlighted by an electrifying fire-knife finale that sparks applause from every corner of the lawn.
