If you’re wondering what to wear, there is not actually a dress code in a luau. But if you want to feel the spirit of an authentic luau, you can wear an Aloha outfit: Hawaiian-printed polo shirt for men paired with shorts and floral-printed skirts for women, which could be paired with a coconut bra or swimsuit top. For your footwear, flip flops, sandals, and slippers are ideal, or better yet, go there with bare feet if you can.

After checking-in, you will be welcomed with a warm lei greeting and a Mai Tai cocktail, just like other luaus. That is the essence of a luau – to share love, peace, sympathy, compassion, and food. To set the mood, live music will fill the air throughout the evening. Extra beverages are also available at the bar. Your evening starts with pre-dinner activities, including the Polynesian tatau or tattoo. Did you know that almost everyone in ancient Polynesia was tattooed? During those times, the Polynesians used it to express their identity and personality – often indicated status in the society, sexual maturity, and genealogy. You can have one if you wish, but of course, it is just temporary. For dance lovers, you can learn the hula through their easy hula lessons, challenge your skills on the pineapple toss, try the coconut carving, participate in the conch shell blowing challenge, and many more!

To energize before the night’s highlight, it’s time to feast on your delightful eat-all-you-can buffet, consisting of traditional Hawaiian cuisines, along with continental American favorites. Some dishes include Lomi Lomi salmon, Hawaiian fried rice, Huli Huli chicken, salads, desserts, and others. There’s even a buffet selection for your children who are 12 years old and under. 

Your meal is followed by a Polynesian show, with authentic music and dances from Hawaii and the greater Polynesia. Be mesmerized with the dancers’ sophisticated performance of the ”Voyage Across the South Seas.” As a finale, you will be astonished by a world-class performance of the famous Samoan fire-knife dance.
