THE SUNSET LUAU
- Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii
- Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii
The Waikoloa Beach Marriott Luau, located behind the resort, the ancient seaside trail of Ala Kahakai runs along magnificent Anaeho'omalu Bay, passing two fishponds in which mullet and other valuable fish were once protected for the use of Hawaiian royalty. In the days of King Kamehameha, runners would race along the trail with fresh fish for his dinner table. Could there possibly be a more appropriate setting for a royal luau? The Sunset Luau is a one-of-a-kind experience is one of the best things to do while in Hawaii.
Sunset Luau Features
An Awesome Luau Buffet
In an underground pit, a pig has been roasting in banana leaves since early morning to provide Kalua pork, the dish at the heart of every luau. They appear in the salad bar’s Indonesian ginger and curry chicken salad with toasted coconut, pineapple spears, and papaya sections. On the irresistible dessert table are pineapple upside-down cake, coconut cake, guava chiffon cake, and the unforgettable Lilikoi Haupia (passionfruit coconut pudding).
Great Luau Entertainment
Following the feast, the entire torchlit scene transforms as the dancers, musicians, and drummers of “Tahiti’s Polynesia” transport guests on a 60-minute whirlwind tour of the South Pacific, from Hawaii to Tahiti, New Zealand, and finally Samoa. The evening ends even more magical than it began with their performance of the mesmerizing Samoan fire and knife dance! A fantastic night of entertainment.
