"Answering the most common visitor questions"


Question:

Can you please tell me the most important things I need to know about going to a luau?

Signed -

Minnie
Hawaii Bound from Minnesota


Response:

Dear Minnie,

Luau’s are great fun and I encourage you to go. The food is great, the entertainment spectacular, and it will probably be your best "one shot" introduction into Hawaiian and Polynesian culture. Here are the top 4 ways to enjoy a luau:

#1: Sit as close as you can to the stage.

#2: Be open to trying a little bit of everything on the menu. Eat the poi (taro pudding), too.

#3: Keep your eyes on the hands of the hula dancers (the hands tell the story).

#4: If asked to dance by one of the dancers, do not refuse (as this is very rude). When dancing, keep your eyes on the hands to follow the dancer.

Here are some links to help you get started on your luau planning: Big Island Luau | Kauai Luau | Maui Luau | Oahu Luau
