An Intimate, Hands-On Luāu

An intimate, hands-on luāu on historic Nutridge Estate overlooking Honolulu. Arrive to a lush rainforest drive and receive a complimentary Mai Tai and kūkui-nut lei before a formal Hawaiian chant ceremony at sunset.

The evening unfolds with traditional hula kahiko, a guided imu (underground oven) demonstration where guests help roast sweet potatoes, followed by Samoan fire-knife dancing and community games/craft stations.

Dinner is farm-to-table Hawaiian fare—kalua pork, sweet potatoes, local salad—with a bar serving local, tropical cocktails.

Finish with seated entertainment under string lights, stunning mountain and city vistas, and the warmth of an ʻohana (family) atmosphere praised for being “magical” and “like stepping into someone’s backyard.” Read more reviews on TripAdvisor.
