Overview
Schedule
Check-in at Ko'olauloa Foundations
After you locate the parking area, take a leisurely stroll to the Oahu Experience check-in area located at a white tent within a large clearing. Your evening continues with a variety of authentic Hawaiian and Polynesian cultural activities, a delicious dinner, and a wide array of performances.
Once you arrive at the luau grounds, you will be welcomed by the Oahu Experience 'ohana (family) with a traditional Hawaiian 'oli (chant). This chant is called 'Oli Aloha, and has been used for generations as a way to greet guests, friends, and family, and is a memorable way to begin your luau.
Learn how to wrap and salt fish in freshly picked Hawaiian ti leaves before they cook in an imu, or rock-lined underground oven. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to make long-lasting ti leaf lei, and even use a heavy poi pounding stone to make fresh pa'i'ai and poi with taro & water.
Known for its calming effects and communal significance, kava is a traditional drink made from the roots of the kava plant, a root that is native to the islands of the South Pacific. The active compounds in kava, called kavalactones, are said to promote relaxation while reducing stress and anxiety.
There is nothing quite as thrilling as seeing an expert spin and throw knives that are engulfed in flames, and what better way to experience this iconic Samoan performance art than learning how to perform the siva afi. Start off with unlit blunted instruments, and work your way up to ignition!
Sit down for a delicious dinner handcrafted by Fat Poi, a local favorite known for their authentic and tasty Hawaiian and island-style cuisine. Ingredients are selected for top freshness and quality, and brought together for a mouthwatering meal. You will even eat the fish you prepared earlier!
Not only will you see incredible cultural experts perform, but unlike any other luau in Hawaii, you'll also become a part of the show! Show off your newly-learned drumming and fireknife dancing skills with cultural practitioners who will ensure that you have an amazing & unforgettable time on stage!
