Once I had come home from my travel to Oahu, I was already planning my next trip. There is something in the atmosphere of the islands that gets into your soul and makes it impossible to not want to go back. Days of walking along the tropical beaches, the sunsets over the ocean, the local food and the local people invite you into the world of peace, a world wherein you know that you are on vacation. One activity I had wanted to partake in, but did not have the chance to do so, is the Hawaiian luau. I had long been fascinated with the hula dancers and the movements of their hands.
I was first introduced to the music of Hawaii, by a CD of Isreal Kamakawiwo’ole. I looked into Maui vacation packages and booked my holiday vacation for next year. I also looked into the Old Lahaina Luau one of the best and the most traditional on the island. This festivity offers the some of the finest of Hawaiian cuisine, crafts of the local artists, traditional dance performances and wonderful live music. All of this takes place as the sun sets, the rich cultural history of Hawaii is perfectly experienced through visual means, auditory means and the means of wonderful flavor through the roasted Kalua pig, coconut pudding and Poi all served up buffet style with open bars dotting the beach.
This luau takes place each and every night, however the starting times may vary so be sure to check on that before you head down to the beach. Reservations are necessary and can be arranged by the staff at the concierge desk of your hotel. They arrange the seating ahead of time and there are two choices, either on the grass sitting upon pillows, picnic style and the traditional seating for a luau. Or you may request a table with comfortable chairs. When you walk up to the luau, you will receive the traditional greeting of a beautiful fresh lei placed around your neck, and of course a cocktail in a coconut containing tropical and fresh sweetness. Upon reading about this, I could not wait for my next adventure to Hawaii, and now perhaps you cannot wait either. Aloha, and have fun!
