Best Kauai Luau & Ono Luau Food
Note: The Hawaiian language does not use the "s" in plural forms of luau. So instead of "Three Top Kauai luaus" we say "Three Top Kauai Luau"
Kauai, steeped in ancient myth and enchanting beauty, is the perfect setting for luau. And Kauai luau are as inviting and lush as this Garden Isle. If you are visiting the Garden Isle, I highly recommend you add "Luau" to your Kauai activities itenterary.
Here is a sampling of the best Hawaiian luau on Kauai. All these Kauai luau include traditional lei greetings, fantastic Hawaiian music and dance, ono (delicious) luau food and generous scoops of aloha.
Germaine's Luau – Outdoors and so close to the ocean you can hear the wave's tumbling to shore, this Kauai luau celebrates the exciting cultural heritage of ancient Hawaii and Polynesia. Germaine's goes out of its way to make sure all guests feel like they belong.
In addition to their famous aloha, Germaine's has often been voted and reviewed as being the most authentic Hawaiian luau. And I almost forgot to mention the luau food. In a word, delicious!
Smith Family Garden Luau – Brought to you by the same family that provides the Fern Grotto boat tour, this Kauai luau was dubbed by Kauai Revealed guidebook as the “Best luau on the island.”
The Smith Family Luau is a long time tradition. Experience traditional Hawaiian foods and local favorites like their teriyaki beef as you celebrate with the Smith Family the traditions of their Hawaiian ancestors with Hawaiian hula and thrill to the grand finale, the Samoan fire knife dance.
Coconut Beach Luau - The Hawaii Visitors Bureau has bestowed the prestigious Kahili Award for several years on the state of Hawaii's most authentic luau.
The setting for the Coconut Beach Luau is back-dropped by swaying coconut palms and the ocean. A conch shell blowing and pageant announces the beginning of the fun under an open-air tent: live Hawaiian music, activity stations and hula vignettes.
Then comes the all-you-can-eat Polynesian buffet, open bar and the main show. Thrill to and be mesmerized by the traditional music, dance, chants and legends of ancient Hawaii, along with authentic Tahitian dance. The enchanting night ends with a Samoan fire knife dance performed by awarding winning Rohotu Dance Company and Halau Na Punua O Kauai.
Hawaiian Luau
Hawaiian luau are a must do if you haven't been to one. Community Hawaiian luau are fun and also a great way to get acquainted with the culture. Check the newspaper listings and bulletin boards for fundraising and church luau. At a community luau you can expect traditional luau food and local, family style entertainment.
But if you've never been to a full-on luau, check out one of these three Kauai luau for a night to remember: Germaines, Smith Family or Coconut Beach!
