Activity Tips

Kevin Ditamore – Owner / Manager

Which luau to attend on the Big Island? Well, things are getting pretty interesting in the luau scene on the Big Island. The Waikoloa Marriott luau has high quality food and they have all the essential luau basics; their kalua pig and Molokai sweet potatoes are especially tasty. (by the way, Molokai sweet potatoes have an incredibly deep dark purple color). Be sure to stroll down by the ancient fishponds … at sunset on a calm evening you can get an incredible picture of the palm trees of Anaehoomalu Beach reflecting onto the water of the fishpond. This luau is only held twice a week, and advanced reservations are necessary. For guests who are staying in Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, or Hapuna, we recommend the Hawaii Loa Luau. If you are staying north of the airport, you don’t want to drive all the way into town when the best luau choices are close by. If you aren’t up for the drive, get reserved seating at the Island Breeze Luau.
