Island Breeze Luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel

Guests of the Island Breeze Luau will be amazed with a display of authentic Polynesian activities, cuisine, and performances. Island Breeze Luau, located in right on the edge of the ocean of the King Kamehameha Hotel is rated the best lü'au on the Big Island by kama'äina (local residents)visitors and travel writers. The luau begins with a lei greeting and picture taking. An open bar, arts and crafts await you. The imu (traditional underground oven) ceremony, is also a part of the exciting beginning to your Island Breeze ohana (family). There are many ways to participate in the luau activities: weave a coconut frond, learn how to open a coconut, learn the art of hula, get a Polynesian tattoo, and take the time to meet and talk to some of the performers. Adults $82.74 Child (5-12) $41.34 Under 5 complimentary

"This is my 3 rd luau and by far the most organized and inviting. The food was great and show a good interaction of audience participation and cast entertainment. You can't beat the location! Disappointed that their was not a flower lai."

"After 20 + visits to the islands, I didn't need another Luau but I was travelling with a group of friends who had never been to Hawaii. I booked this one based on reviews and it did not disappoint. The setting is one of the best on the island at waters edge and this side of the island does not experience the wind so often experienced on the south Kohala coast. The event is very organized, perhaps too contrived, but my friends all had a good time as it would appear most guests did too. We did pay a little extra for preferred seating and I would recommend."

"Very fun luau. Upgrade and go for the Hanohano package - it'll let you spend much less time waiting in lines and more time having fun. Also gets you a better table, and first dibs at the bar and the buffet.
Fun cast, good service, gorgeous location, and great activities for the kids."
