Reserve Your Luau Oahu Today

By Evelyn Walls


Everyone who is lucky enough to have the chance to visit the beautiful island Oahu should really get into the spirit of the island culture. Be sure to see all the iconic sights and the beautiful beaches and sunsets. Also be sure to celebrate your time there by booking a luau Oahu. Luau guests begin to feel as if they were born in this naturally magnificent paradise.

Several local businesses have luau packages to suit your budget and your tastes. From the basic up to deluxe packages, the difference in price is not substantial. The festivities promise to be in keeping with traditions and culture of the island and its people.

There are packages that are strictly for the luau feast. Other packages include island village tours, canoe rides and more. These are all day packages that are topped off with the luau festivities. The prices for all packages are more reasonable than you would expect, so be sure to include this in your travel budget.

If this will be your first luau you can expect some the the following features. The food will be traditional Polynesian such as poi, fish, sweet potatoes and pork from a pig cooked slowly for hours in the ground. Naturally you can expect Hawaiian music from local entertainers. The festivities would not be complete without hula dancers. There will be professional dancers dressed in traditional hula skirts with flowers in their luxurious long hair. Some of the guests will try to learn the hula just for fun. The kids will be served punch made with native fruits, and the adults can choose from an assortment of fancy cocktails.

The feeling is one of togetherness and celebration. Historically, luaus were held to honor some milestone in the lives of islanders. They have never been considered as just a gathering for mealtime. Luaus have always been held in the spirit of unity, gathering friends and family to participate as one group. Long ago all the guests sat on the ground on a mat made of lauhala leaves from the hala tree.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is the most popular paid attraction. The Center offers a wide assortment of packages to help tourists get to know the island better. You can arrange tours to iconic sights that you have read about in books. A tour of Pearl Harbor is meaningful to many Americans for different reasons. Imagine a guided tour of a volcano. The Center can tell you all about the events and sights that will be most memorable, including the luaus.

It is very interesting to learn what the island was like before the Western influence. Oahu was once a monarchy with a pronounced hierarchical society. When the Christian missionaries came in the 1800s they strongly influenced the existing culture. The Christian influence was just the beginning of outsiders coming to the island. The existing culture is rich in diversity with the coming together of many cultures.

Hawaii has long held special meaning for Americans. With World War II and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was linked to the US long before it joined the union in 1959 as the fiftieth state. Since that time, more and more Americans from the continental states have visited and come to love the islands. Oahu is known as the gather place. The perfect place for a memorable luau.
