The island of O`ahu has many activities to offer, from free to break your bank account.

The lu`au is an event that is not to be missed. It’s a good way to see some of the culture as well as sample some of the local foods. Paradise Cove Lu`au is one of Hawaii’s best. The best way to experience the lu`au is with the royal ali`i service . We were hesitant at first to select that package, but soon found out that it was well worth the extra money. From the time you enter you are welcomed with a picture taking crew, as well as your first mai tai. You are given 4 drink tickets each, and shown to your seats. Our seats were located in the “ali`i box” over looking the stage.  You are served your food versus having to stand in a buffet line. Anytime you want more food you just ask your friendly waiter.

Most lu`aus offer bland food,unlike  the “local grind” (plate lunch) places located around the island. Some of the favorite local grind places include zippy’s & L&L.

There are many lu`aus throughout the Hawaiian islands, and each one is unique to itself. Everyone has their favorite as well as their least favorite. That is why when you ask a local. “where’s the best luau?”, you will get different answers.

Aloha and Mahalo for visiting our blog

Hawaiian word of the blog:
