The Ohana Luau Dinner Show celebrates the music, dance, and cuisine of the Pacific Islands with a family-friendly, interactive supper spectacle. Hawaiian dancers twirl in a frenzy of swishing grass skirts, inviting guests to join them onstage, and Maori women spin glowing poi balls, an ancestral form of storytelling. Diners can marvel as warriors deftly spin fire-knives and briefly ignite their hands and tongues, demonstrating the ancient strategy used to ensure warm handshakes and prevent brain freeze. Live Polynesian percussion pulses throughout the show, compelling hands and hips to hula.
Seating begins an hour before the show, providing time to mingle with other lei-wearers in a tropical setting, detailed with palm-frond tablecloths, seashell-encrusted lights, and hand-painted volcanoes erupting on the walls. While discussing sandcastle-construction strategies and the best sunscreen designs to secretly apply to companions' backs, guests can nibble on authentic eats from the Polynesian buffet, a feast of teriyaki chicken, Hawaiian kalua pulled pork, Hawaiian steak, and more, all freshly prepared by Samoan chef Steve George. During the show, servers dish out orange cream cake to bring the banquet to a sweet finish.
