Description

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.

We have been taking friends and family when they come visit us in Kona to this luau for 22 years. When the luau was with King K Hotel it was wonderful. However, since they sold out it is a very poor luau. They rush you through, they have cut the show acts down 50%, they cut out the bowls of MaiTai, and the demonstrations prior to show almost non exitance. The price because the quality of the show is so poor, is really a ripoff. Do not waste your $175 per ticket plus processing fee of $32.00. I would suggest flying over to Oahu and going to the Polynesian Culture Center, For a little less, you can see demonstrations of each island culture, water parade, theater, beautiful buffet and a beautiful production show. It opens at noon and closes around 9. Worth every dime.
