Waikiki is the beachfront beach town in Honolulu, located on the third largest island, Oahu. Tourists are attracted to Waikiki for its beautiful white beaches, public parks, volcanoes and waterfalls. There are many luxury resorts and five star hotels. Pampered tourists can have spa treatments and enjoy high end shopping. The hotels are beautiful, but it would be a shame to miss the joy of meeting the people and experiencing some of their traditions. A luau Waikiki is the perfect way to learn about the cultures and traditions of this beautiful paradise.
For your luau event you can book round trip tickets to and from your hotel. No need to worry about a designated driver. Upon your arrival, as is customary in Hawaii, you will be greeted with a fresh lei made of shells, flowers or maybe the locally grown kukua nuts. Next you may have the opportunity to experience the imu ceremony.
An imu is used to cook the pig. It is a large underground oven where the pig is wrapped and steamed for hours. At the imu ceremony, traditionally dressed Hawaiians remove the pig from the oven and transport it to the kitchen where it will be shredded. This simple ceremony shows the value that the Hawaiian people place on customs and culture. The feast you are about to enjoy will include the pulled pork, fresh fish, sweet potatoes, poi and other native dishes.
Next on the agenda may be a hukailau, where everyone gets together to pull the net from the ocean to gather the fish. Many years ago, ancient Hawaiians developed this way of fishing. Again, the simplest things are steeped in tradition. You know your fish for the evening will be fresh, since you just helped catch it.
Mai tai punch will be served to all. For adults, there will be mai tais with alcohol for purchase. The fun really gets started with the Hawaiian revue. This entertainment includes native ceremonies and dances done in full traditional costume. The hulu may be one of these dances, and some guests may want to attempt to hulu. The revue showcases some of the culture and customs of Hawaiian life.
After all these festivities, it will be time to eat. The buffet will have more food than you thought possible. Cultures around the world share the custom of offering food to guests as a warm welcome. This is also true for Hawaiians. Everyone present will share in this welcoming feast.
Luau packages are available from basic to deluxe. Most places offer three different prices. If you choose the deluxe one, you may receive a traditional Hawaiian gift at the end of the evening. Whatever package you choose, the prices are affordable.
Your luau will give you the chance to experience several Hawaiian customs and traditions. Even though Hawaii became a part of the United States in 1959 it maintains its own culture and traditions. Despite the Western influences, much of the old Hawaii remains. The people are friendly and welcoming and eager to share their culture. Enjoy your fantasy vacation in paradise.
