All seats are up-close and personal and the experience is thoughtfully curated to last four hours, giving you ample time to enjoy every feature without feeling rushed.

Begin your evening with a warm welcome and a stunning sunset view over Honolulu. Participate in hands-on cultural activities like weaving ti leaves or try your hand at throwing a Hawaiian spear. As the sun sets, enjoy a farm-to-table feast featuring locally sourced dishes while the rhythms of traditional Hawaiian music and hula dancing bring the island's history to life. End your night with a spectacular fire-knife dance.

The Experience Nutridge Luau menu is a mixture of Hawaiian food brought from where Hawaiians migrated from and local food, a blend of cuisines from immigrant workers from Asia, Polynesia, Europe, and America between 1850 and 1930. Items include sweet bread, local nalo greens, steamed white rice, pulehu (grilled) chicken, mini lau-lau (meat-filled taro leave wraps), kalua pua'a (shredded pork), taro loco moco (taro burger), tropical pineapple, lilikoi bars (passion fruit cookies), and haupia (coconut jello).

A unique venue for this intimate luau experience, the historic Nutridge Estate in Pu'u Ualaka'a Wayside Park is the site of Hawaii’s first macadamia nut plantation in the 1920s. It has hosted many famous guests over the years, including Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley.

This was our very first luau and we couldn't have been more impressed with entertainers, the luau meal and the presentation of information. Very talented group of ladies and men. We highly recommend visiting this luau as it is more intimate and entertaining venue.

"A Truly Unforgettable Experience a Nutridge Luau"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Our evening at the Nutridge Luau was nothing short of magical. Nestled high atop a mountain, the luau offered absolutely breathtaking views of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean — the perfect backdrop for an authentic Hawaiian experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like 'ohana (family). The warm hospitality set the tone for an evening that was deeply personal and meaningful. This wasn’t your typical large-scale luau — it was intimate, interactive, and full of heart. What really stood out was the focus on the experience itself. The hosts took time to share the rich history of the Nutridge Estate and the origins of the luau, giving us a deeper appreciation for the cultural traditions we were about to witness. We weren’t just spectators — we participated in activities, learned traditional customs, and even showed us how to prepare the imu (underground oven) for the feast. The food was incredible — truly authentic Hawaiian cuisine, made with fresh, local ingredients and served with genuine aloha. Every bite told a story. If you're looking for more than just a show, and want to connect with the culture, people, and spirit of Hawaii, I highly recommend the Nutridge Luau. It’s not just an event — it’s an experience you’ll carry with you long after the sun sets over the island.

"Feels like a BBQ with friends that is steeped in Hawaiian history."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed June 02, 2025 NEW
This luau was incredible. We only had about 50 people in our group. Before the luau started, our driver took us to the top of the lookout where we got out of the van and were able to get some awesome pictures of Diamond Head and the island. The luau was very informative and funny. They were able to turn this experience into what felt like a BBQ with close friends. The food was good. They served you in a line so they were the ones serving the actual food. I really liked not having 50 peoples hands touching all the food. If you’ve never done a luau, I definitely recommend this place. Thank you for making a memorable experience for my family and I.

First time Luau experience. Chose Nutridge for the smaller crowd sizes, location and convenience. Everyone loved it. Amazing views, great food, and wonderful, welcoming people who made it so enjoyable. Being a smaller group/crowd size was made it a really friendly atmosphere. The history, activities, dancing, fire dancing in a beautiful location made for wonderful last night in Hawaii.
