About Germaine's Luau
Spend the evening by the ocean at Germaine's Luau, where an imu ceremony, island-style dinner and Polynesian performances create a classic West Oahu luau experience.
Germaine's Luau brings you to a private beachfront setting in Kapolei, where the evening begins with ocean views, a warm welcome and the sound of the conch shell calling everyone together. The Royal Court of Polynesia makes its entrance before the traditional imu ceremony reveals the kalua pig that has been slow-roasting underground.
After the ceremony, head to the buffet for a mix of Hawaiian favorites and familiar island-style dishes. Once dinner settles in, the stage comes alive with music and dance from across Polynesia, including hula, Tahitian rhythms, Samoan slap dance and a fire-knife finale.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with three package levels to choose from depending on the seating, lei and drink options you prefer. Round-trip transportation from Waikiki or Ko Olina can also be added if you would rather leave the driving to someone else.
