Germaines Luau

Just 27 miles from Waikiki you can transport yourself back to a time gone by. Since 1976, on the shores of West Oahu, Germaine's Luau has been treating guests to one of the top dining experiences in Hawaii. Prepare yourself for an evening of fun, food and beauty. Upon arrival you will be greeted by your hosts, bearing a traditional Shell Lei. The conch shell sounds inviting one and all to the feast. The Royal Court enters, stopping for photos, and the celebration begins.

The luau is technically the top of young taro plants prepared with coconut cream, chicken or octopus. Served at celebrations in Hawaii since the 1800's, this dish came to symbolize all Hawaiian festivities, once called ahaainas, meaning feasting. The celebrations had not only community binding implications, it was meant to honor the gods. Eventually the religious intents fell away and almost all such festivities came are known as luaus.

The imu, an underground cooking pit, is opened releasing the incredible smell of roast pork, the main attraction at the all-you-can-eat dinner. But before the meal begins, dancers from Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand and Hawaii provide entertainment. Colorful and graceful the Tahitian dancers perform an energetic dance wearing astonishing head dresses. The Samoan Fire-Knife dance follows followed by the Slap Dance performed by Samoan men. Of course, no luau would be complete without the hula. The hula has been used in Hawaii to tell stories of love, life and harmony for generations. The show continues through dinner so sit back and enjoy the magic.

Dinner features a combination of Hawaiian and American foods. Taste traditional fare such as poi, Kalua pig and Lomilomi salmon or relax with the knowledge that you can stick to food you know like fired chicken and chocolate cake. You won't go away hungry. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and of course Kona coffee are included.
