Location
Cloaked in history, the Kalahuipua’a area of the Kohala Coast was once a gathering place for royalty and their guests. Dotted with fishponds and ancient trails, guests can explore the Ala Loa Trail, or King’s Trail, as well as the beautifully preserved fishponds that were once reserved for the chiefs. While many fishponds have been preserved along the Kohala Coast, none have been restored as well as those in Kalahuipua’a. This is famed as one of the best luaus on the Big Island.

The setting alone is amazing.. The show was really well done and the buffet had way more options than I expected. It rained lightly but the crew handled it well. The story they told through the hula was really touching.

The setting at the Fairmont Orchid was gorgeous—lush gardens. The show was deeply immersive, with legend/lore and hula that transported us back in time. The food was THE BEST! We also loved the interactive activities before the show, which gave us a taste of local traditions. It was a perfect evening to enjoy Hawaiian culture without feeling too touristy.

My wife, 2 boys and I booked the Hawaii Loa Luau on the Big Island of Hawaii and it was worth the time and money. The grounds were beautiful. We loved the local hula dancers who gave us a glimpse into traditional island culture. For those looking for a cultural celebration with incredible food and entertainment, this is a great way to experience such a beauitufl people!

The show and music were wonderful. You lose a star rating because the food at the luau in Maui that we went to last year was much better. The one at the Grand Wailea. But, that being said, I would still recommend Hawaii Loa.

How do I book you for a luau at my house in Connecticut? That was a superior dinner and show. We’d go monthly if you had this near us. We learned about the culture too, so we didn’t just take. I also left the shells and rocks, so we won’t suffer like the Brady’s.
