germaine's luau
Taking place on a secluded beach on Oahu's beautiful southwest shore, Germaine's Luau is considered one of Oahu's most family-friendly luaus, offering a casual, laid-back atmosphere. Visiting Germaine's Luau is a great way to experience a piece of Hawaiian culture. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a Hawaiian lei. Then listen to the sound of the conch shell, which signals the start of the evening's festivities.
There will be a variety of cultural demonstrations, such as the Royal Court of Polynesia procession, which is followed by the imu ceremony. Watch how the kalua pua'a (roast pig) is removed from the imu, the underground oven, where it has been slowly roasted to perfection. The big luau feast features a variety of delicacies, from authentic Hawaiian dishes to continental favorites, so no one will leave hungry. After dinner, enjoy a spectacular Polynesian revue, showcasing music and dances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji and Aotearoa (New Zealand).
