During the cocktail hour, you will experience an authentic imu (Hawaiian underground oven) ceremony followed by a bountiful feast of authentic local fl avors. The sumptuous menu includes native delicacies such as lomi lomi salmon, kalua pig, teriyaki beef, shoyu chicken, salads, fresh fruit, pineapple, and poi. A spectacular luau show will take you on a musical journey through the islands of Polynesia, including the graceful hula and a live fire knife dance!
