The Smith family has been hosting luaus in Kapaʻa since 1963, making it one of the longest-running family-operated luaus in Hawaii.
The luau is set in a 30-acre botanical and cultural garden, offering a lush backdrop of tropical plants and traditional Hawaiian architecture.
Guests can witness the unearthing of the kalua pig, which is cooked in an underground oven, a traditional Hawaiian cooking method.
The luau showcases not only Hawaiian hula but also dances from Tahiti, Samoa, and the Philippines, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Pacific Islands.
Visitors can take a guided tram tour through the gardens, learning about the native and exotic plants that thrive in the Hawaiian climate.
The luau menu includes traditional Hawaiian dishes like poi, lomi lomi salmon, and haupia, alongside more familiar options for all palates.
The gardens are situated close to the Wailua River, a historically significant waterway in Hawaiian culture, once reserved for royalty.
