Description
The Island Breeze Luau is held at a scenic and ancient site along the Kona Coast. There is no more historically significant location for a luau than this anywhere in the state of Hawaii. These grounds were once the royal home of King Kamehameha the Great, the ruler who united (conquered) all of the Hawaiian islands from the Big Island to Oahu. This luau features the procession of the Royal Court into the luau grounds, hula lessons, Hawaiian (temporary) tatoos, a Hawaiian game called Pala'ie, a traditional luau buffet and full open bar. The show includes dances from all over the islands of Polynesia and concludes with a fire knife dance. This luau is conveniently located in downtown Kailua-Kona right next to the harbor on the ocean side of the Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha's Beach Hotel.

Kevin's Activity Tips:
Which luau to attend on the Big Island? Right now the answer is "Whichever one you are able to find a table at when you are booking three weeks or more in advance." For those who are staying in Kailua-Kona town or one of the condo properties along Ali'i Drive and you don't relish the idea of an hour drive to and from your luau, you might want to attend the Island Breeze Luau which is held at the Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha's Beach Hotel near the pier at the Kailua-Kona Harbor. This luau offers a feeling of authenticity due to its incredibly historic location. The views of Kamehameha's ancient oceanside residence make for great photos. This luau has been voted the "Best Luau on the Big Island" by the readers of West Hawaii Today for seven years in a row.
For guests who are staying in Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, or Hapuna, we recommend the Waikoloa Marriott Royal 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.
