Set beside the ocean with wide views across Kailua Bay, the Royal Kona Luau invites guests to enjoy a lively evening of Hawaiian hospitality, island flavors and Polynesian storytelling. Voyagers of the Pacific brings the spirit of the islands to life through music, dance and the story of the ancient navigators who crossed the Pacific and made Kona their home.

The evening begins with a shell lei greeting and time to enjoy Hawaiian arts and crafts demonstrations or join a group hula lesson. Guests can also watch the traditional imu ceremony before gathering for an abundant Hawaiian buffet featuring kalua pork, island fish, teriyaki beef, fresh pineapple and other island favorites.

As the sun fades over Kailua Bay, live music and dance take center stage. The performance follows the remarkable journey of Polynesian voyagers across the ocean and builds toward a thrilling Samoan Siva Afi fire-knife finale. Complimentary mai tais, cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks add to the relaxed oceanfront celebration.
