I named this #1 because most people who visit Hawaii want to do a luau.
It's actually amazing that we've been here almost a year and have only done one so far.
I feel another coming on, when Danielle comes to visit in July :)
I first luau was with Gabrielle & Brian. We went to one done by the military resort in Waikiki. Excellent choice, we had such a great time!
We walked around in Waikiki for a while, the Hale Koa is a beautiful resort!
Lush gardens to walk around in, and right on the beach.
This is a Banyan tree, all the vines come off the tree and root, making several trunks.
The Luau had a pre-show and activities going on just before dinner and the show.
Like: how to open a coconut, Hawaiian sarong fashions, hula dancing lesson.
The best part was when Cousin Louie climbed the Palm Tree!
You could learn to make a lie bracelet, weave a headdress, or get a tattoo.
We were shown the traditional way a luau pig is roasted in the ground with hot rocks.
Although I'm pretty sure they prepared ours in a bit more contemporary way.
The meal was very cultural (we didn't leave too full)
It was presented family style
