About Oahu Luaus
So what is an Oahu luau all about? An Oahu luau is traditionally a beautiful display of Hawaiian dishes accompanied by fun and exciting live entertainment. We're talking hula dancers, fire breathers, fire dancers. So much fun to watch! What's even better, or should we say tastier, is that most luaus even feature the imu ceremony! Ever heard of an imu ceremony? Well, let us wet your taste buds! This is where they cook roast pig (kalua pua'a) underground! A circular cooking pit is dug out and layers of hot coals, stones, leaves and mats are added, which create a steamy environment for the roast pig. Then all of it is buried and left to cook for several hours. The delicious result is very juicy, melt in your mouth pork!
The fun doesn't stop there! You can expect other Oahu luau activities, which may include a conch blowing contest or learning to dance the hula. Make an exotic flower lei or beautiful head band. Witness an impressive torch lighting ceremony. As if this wasn't already a blast, is there anything cooler than learning to play the ukulele while you're in Hawaii?! We know you'll become an instant star once you do.
