We capped our Tuesday evening attending a luau at the Royal Kona Resort. I didn't realize just how popular luaus are and that they sell out in advance. Our original plan was to book one in Kauai, but the entire island -- both north and south shores -- were sold out. We then booked ahead for the Big Island but had to travel to the west side to Kona. While I'm sure these luaus cater to tourists, the music and dance are very much rooted in Hawaiian culture and tradition as well as the larger Polynesian culture. We saw dances from Tahiti and the Maori people of New Zealand as well as Hawaii. We had great seats up front, a delicious meal, and wonderful music and dancing. A fantastic way to cap off our day.
