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 ????

"Food was great, entertainment was lacking"

Reviewed January 26, 2020
We have been to other luaus, so this wasn't our first. The food was well above average, but the dancing was short, not too much Hawaiian hula, and very overproduced. There were no stories about why dancers do what they are doing, nothing about the symbolism, and too much kitsch. The next time we are on the big island we will find another luau. They do three on the island on different nights but the dancers, etc., are the same. The musicians were great.

Very nice presentation of Polynesian history and traditions. Talented performers and beautiful costumes. Food was excellent and plentiful, though they did shut the buffet down with no notice. As you may have guessed, I wasn't quite done yet. At $75 per person I thought it was a little overpriced, but I enjoyed the evening.
