Then of course we changed our minds but it was too late to change the seats. The seat arrangements are based on first come first served basis. If you are one of the earliest people to call to make reservations, you will be arranged for a front row seat kinda. So since i called way ahead of time, we got pretty good mat seating. The stage was practically right in front of us. If we changed our seat preference to table & chairs, we would definitely be bumped all the way back. So we stuck to our original seat option.
The luau was $92 per person and ran from 5- 8:30 pm I think. Buffet, open bar and performance which include, hula dance, legendary music and the Hawaii history. Price is reasonable considering that it's open bar. ;)
We were rained on for the 1st hour. The local people didn't seem to mind the rain at all. We were served plenty of food! ... and a free flow of drinks the entire night. The show was awesome!
Imu ceremony - Underground oven. the kalua pig is cooked underneath.
After the imu ceremony, we walked around and enjoyed the spectacular sunset.
that's my plate. i was so embarrassed because i had plenty leftover on my plate when i was done. As usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The servers are friendly and serve you drinks throughout the show.
did i mention their desserts are yummy???

did i mention their desserts are yummy??? We sat with a family of four and another married couple.There was a funny incident. We were making friends with our seating neighbors, talking, exchanging information and such. We talked about where we were from, and the reason for the trip. The married couple was there for their 25th year wedding anniversary. So we said we were there for our wedding anniversary as well. When they asked how many years of wedding anniversary, to which, we both replied at the same time, different answers! I answered 1 year, and John answered 2 years. They were confused at our answers. They were like, is it 1 or 2 years anniversary? We never really did explained it, just kind of laugh it off. They must think that we are some con artist or something. haha. I guess, technically we are married for 2 years. Our civil ceremony at the courthouse was on May25th, 2007. But the trip to hawaii falls exactly a year ago of our wedding dinner celebration (June 18th, 2008). It was tough to determine, was it one year or 2 years anniversary? I guess now we have discussed and agreed that this year should be our 2 years anniversary in case this question come up again. :P
The show starts right after dinner. History of hawaii and the local people.
we were mesmerized by their booty shaking talent
I am not going to lie. i tried hard to catch a glimpse of their ehemm... rear end. haha... i was curious if they wear anything at all! They did wear something like the sumo wrestler kinda underwear. so you can actually see their butt cheeks. :PWe were so tired from sitting on the floor by the end of the night. Definitely not a wise decision. We sat uncomfortably and constantly admired people who sat on the chairs. In summary, this luau is highly recommended and make sure, you select the conventional table and chairs seatings if you want to watch the show and eat comfortably. :-P
he is our server for the night.
