At sunset the evening's main entertainment begins. Our award-winning production tells the story of the Hawaiiians. We are proud to present the Hula as it was meant to be performed --with love and reverence. The program begins with the roots of migration, to the Kahiko, then the more contemporary style Hula. Ote'a - Our program begins with the early migration of the Polynesians to the "new islands" of Hawaii. Kahiko - The ancient Hula was a way of communicating with the Gods. It is accompanied by chanting, and traditional implements. It is performed with respect for our ancestors. Missionaries and the Merrie Monarch - The missionaries brought many changes. We present Hula depicting this era as well as celebrating King Kalakaua. 'Auana - The modern hula was influenced by immigrants and tourism. Hula dancers tell their stories through their graceful moves, subtle eyes and lovely hula hands. "This is our favorite luau in all of Hawaii. Everything about it comes together just right, and it's as authentic as they come. The luau feast and traditional entertainment both serve as a wonderful introduction to real island culture, and they're both terrific. Don't mistake this for a deadly dull history lesson --it's riveting entertainment and the performers are first-rate. The food is excellently prepared and well labeled (so you know what you're eating)." Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Hawaii
