What is a Luau?
The luau began with a feast held by King
Kamehameha II of Hawaii in 1819 to
symbolize the end of religious taboos
connected with dining. Some restrictions
had included the separation of genders
at meals, as well as forbidding certain
foods to commoners and all women.
The name luau originally referred to
young tops of the taro plant. But luau
came to mean a particular dish that gave
the feast its name. This dish is made of
meat and taro leaves which are baked in
coconut milk. Absolutely Delicious.
Royal luaus became a custom and
commemorated the celebration of
coronations and birthdays. The
traditional luau included a range of
Hawaiian dishes, including bowls of poi,
a dish made from taro root that has been
pounded, sweet potatoes, coconuts, salt
and fresh fish, chicken, and pork.
Hawaiians still often have luau
celebrations, but in addition, a luau is
often considered one of the highlights
of an unforgettable first class Hawaiian vacation.
Luaus are a must do and a great value!
What to expect at a Luau
 When you attend a luau, you can expect
to be greeted fragrant fresh flower lei
or lei made from shells. The majority of
the luaus has an open bar serving “Mai
Tais” and other mixed drinks, wine, and
beer. You will then enjoy a wide array
of delicious food. Most luaus feature
exotic dances, singing, chanting, and
costumes from all of the south pacific
islands including Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga,
Fiji, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Samoa.
The Feast menus vary from luau to luau
and may include: Tossed Kula Greens,
Potato salad, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Poi,
Tropical Fruit Salad, Fresh Island Fish,
Kalua Pig, Chicken, Sweet Potatoes,
Rolls, and a delicious selection of
delectable desserts. You may also have
the opportunity to participate in
Hawaiian arts and crafts and games or
see reenactments of Polynesian cultural
practices.
The imu ceremony is probably the best-known luau
feature. It is the pit where the whole
pig is cooked. To prepare the imu, the
pit is dug and lined with kiawe logs
topped with rocks. A fire is lit in the
pit, heating the rocks and turning the
wood into red hot coals. At this point,
banana stalks are overlaid on the rocks,
followed by banana leaves, on which the
pig is placed, with sweet potatoes and
lau lau. The food is covered with banana
and ti leaves, and wet kapa (traditional
matting), and then the pit is covered
with sand and earth. Six to ten hours
later, depending on the pig’s size, the
food is ready for the luau.

I
have worked for the majority of the Luaus
on Maui and will provide you with detailed
insider information including show times, menu
options, seating, parking, and families with
young children. Most Luau menus are
vegetarian friendly having a variety of salads,

calling for luau information to let me know if

special needs. This will help me to determine
which lu’au suits your vacation dreams.
