Oahu is one of the eight major Hawaiian islands. Geographically it is the third largest, but it is by far the most densely populated. Well known for its hospitality, Oahu is commonly called the gathering place. What better way to gather friends and family than with a luau Oahu. Thanks to the welcoming nature of the native islanders, you will feel right at home.
Several local businesses have luau packages to suit your budget and your tastes. From the basic up to deluxe packages, the difference in price is not substantial. The festivities promise to be in keeping with traditions and culture of the island and its people.
Some packages are for the party, feast and entertainment. Others include so much more, so guests and tourists have the chance to immerse themselves in the Polynesian culture and history. This type of planned event lasts all day long, from noon to nine pm, and is priced comparably to the luau only package.
This traditional food festival is not like anything you have experienced before. The menu sticks to Polynesian foods. Poi, sweet potatoes, fish and pork are normally included on the menu. The pork comes from a pig cooked in the ground, which is the native way. You will be entertained with Hawaiian musicians and native hula dancers. If guests want to give the hula a try, they are welcome to do that. It helps to have had a few exotic drinks before attempting the hula.
The feeling is one of togetherness and celebration. Historically, luaus were held to honor some milestone in the lives of islanders. They have never been considered as just a gathering for mealtime. Luaus have always been held in the spirit of unity, gathering friends and family to participate as one group. Long ago all the guests sat on the ground on a mat made of lauhala leaves from the hala tree.
The Oahu Polynesian Cultural Center is a wonderful resource for tourists. Their luaus are rich with the history and culture of the island. You can book tours of Diamond Head, have a guided tour of a volcano or visit Pearl Harbor. Be sure to visit their website to discover everything the Center offers.
Doing some research about the island will make the trip and your luau more meaningful. Many did not know that originally Hawaii was a monarchy. Traditions and taboos were an integral part of the culture. When the Christian missionaries came in the 1800s, they sought to make changes to the culture they did not deem Christian. To this day, the Christian influence remains.
In 1959 the Hawaiians islands became a part of the United States. Even though your travel to Ohau will not require a passport, you will feel like you are in an exotic island paradise. The beauty of the islands and the beaches is remarkable. Enjoy this paradise with the traditional island feast.
