Description

from Island Breeze Lu'au
Winner of the "Best of West Hawaii" award which was first presented in 2000, the Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel is a favorite of kama'aina (local residents), visitors and travel professionals.

Each evening guests are invited to join in a cultural experience that shouldn't be missed. The lu'au is well known for its delicious food and its amazing Polynesian production, and its beautiful unique location. It is held on the beachfront of historic Kamakahonu Bay and Ahu Ena, Kamehameha the Great's former estate in Kailua-Kona. Guests enjoy a backdrop of passing fishing boats, paddlers in outrigger canoes, and the lights of Kona and Mount Hualalai.

Considered a "Royal Hawaiian Experience", the lu'au features a 22 dish buffet, open bar, Polynesian arts & crafts demonstrations, and the Royal Court procession. Highlighting the evening is the spectacular Polynesian Revue. Where authenticity and the skills of the Island Breeze Ohana, is matched only by the spirit of aloha they share with the audience. All of this creates a very special cultural experience and memories that will last a lifetime.
Location

The Island Breeze show is filled with excitement, aloha and 'ohana, (love and family).

"Luaua"
September 2018
It does not get a very good only because weather forced it inside which really takes something away from the event. However they were willing to change it to another day for me , unfortunately I was leaving the island and was not able to reschedule.

"Luau Love"
June 2018
I Lved the Island Breeze Luau. It was my first time to visit Hawaii. The luau was not just entertaining and delicious. It was also like watching a living history lesson. I learned about all the Polynesian countries that influenced Hawaii through dance. The unveiling of the pig at the beginning of the dinner portion was also very cool. Watching King Kamehameha and the Royal Court walk in at the beginning showed how important the Royal Family still is to the people of Hawaii. I just want to say Mahalo to Island Breeze for the wonderful experience ????

This was a great experience. The good was great but the entertainment and the way they taught the guests about the culture was amazing! The setting was gorgeous, right on Kailua Bay -- we were there on the 4th of July so our evening ended with fireworks!

"Extremely disappointing "
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed July 09, 2019
Budget production. I thought we booked the Marriott at Waikoloa and realized we were going here. I was hopeful, but as soon as arriving I was disappointed. The check in/ photo was taken in what looked like a hotel conference room; then at the luau they were picnic tables and the tablecloth had holes in them. They rushed through the entire event because the rain was coming, and what was supposed to go until 8, ended at 7:15! The food was ok, a little blah- coconut cake looked like a box mix. The people were nice, that’s what gave it 1 star. Spend the money and go to one of the two in Waikoloa

"So much fun!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed July 09, 2019
This was my first luau and I had a blast. I went with a large group of friends and we got a table to ourselves - though the line does get long quickly so I'd advise lining up early if you're with a large group. There's some pretty unique food to try but also plenty of options for the less adventurous. Loved the hula lesson and traditional dance performances!
