The beautiful island of Oahu is not to be missed. This island is home to the state capital, Honolulu. With over nine hundred thousand residents, Oahu has the largest population of all the islands. The remarkable sights of nature include the sunsets, the beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls and exquisite flora and fauna. What better way to celebrate this bounty of beauty than with a luau Oahu rich in Polynesian tradition.
There are several business that offer luau packages, so you can choose which looks the most appealing to you. Most of these services offer luau packages priced to suit your budget. From the basic to the deluxe, whichever you choose this will be real Hawaiian fun for all.
Packages come with different agendas. The basic package will strictly be the luau, but still complete with leis, hula dancers and native foods. Other packages are all inclusive day trips that offer various tours and the traditional feast. One of the most fascinating tours is to spend the day in a village reminiscent of what the culture once was generations ago.
If you have never experienced this traditional island party, here is what you can expect. There will be Polynesian food like poi, fish, bananas and pork. Meat and fish are cooked underground in keeping with tradition. The festivities will include Hawaiian music and entertainment. Hula dancers in traditional grass skirts, leis and flowers in their long hair will perform. Some of the guests may want to join in the hula dancing. There will be non alcoholic punch for the underage set and exotic cocktails for the adults.
Luaus began before any Westerners came to the island. The structure was based on the societal culture of the day. They were held only as special occasions to mark a milestone or celebrate an important family event. Traditionally, guests sat on a mat made of leaves from the local hala tree. A sense of unity and family underscore the unique social event.
The number one attraction on this island is the Oahu Polynesian Cultural Center. The Center has packages that include the traditional island feast. Luaus are one of many ways for tourists to really learn something about this land that for many is heaven on earth. There are iconic sights that you will not want to miss. Take a tour to Diamond Head, visit Pearl Harbor, or reserve one of the guided tours to a volcano. Stay as long as you can because there is so much to see and do.
Take some time to do some research and read what Oahu was like before and after the Westerners arrived. Oahu was a monarchy, and King Kamehameha the Great is possibly the most well known. In the 1800s the Christian missionaries came to convert the islanders. For better or worse, their mark is left to this day with the Christian churches and the melding of cultures.
Hawaii has long held special meaning for Americans. With World War II and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was linked to the US long before it joined the union in 1959 as the fiftieth state. Since that time, more and more Americans from the continental states have visited and come to love the islands. Oahu is known as the gather place. The perfect place for a memorable luau.
