“He ‘Ohana Kakou” (We are ‘Ohana) – Experience an evening of delicious food and authentic Polynesian entertainment. Held under the stars on the shores of Kamakahonu Bay and Ahu’ena – Kamehameha the Great’s former estate in Kailua-Kona, the Island Breeze Lū’au has been named “Best of West Hawai’i” since 2000.

The evening begins with a warm welcome and an opportunity to meet the performers, while learning traditional arts & crafts. Watch the “Kalua’ana o ka Pua’a”, the uncovering of the imu (underground oven).

Hawai’i’s only lū’au, featuring the arrival of the Royal Court aboard an outrigger canoe.

A lavish Hawaiian buffet with local favorites including kalua pork, fresh fish, grilled beef and fresh island produce all combined with an open bar.

“He ‘Ohana Kakou“is Island Breeze’s newest production. There is nothing more important in Hawai’i than ‘ohana (family). The word ‘ohana literally means “the offshoots” referring to the new shoots on our precious staple, the kalo (taro) plant – we are offshoots, forever connected to each other by our common root. Stories and cultural practices were passed down within the family so that today we can honor our ‘ohana and share its beauty with others. We invite you to join us as we celebrate ‘ohana. Meet our Polynesian cousins from Samoa, Tahiti & New Zealand. Hear our stories through song & dance as we present the splendor and beauty of this land we call paradise.
