Sacred River Luau
Over 50 years ago, a not-yet famous family created a visitors paradise in the sacred Wailua River Valley to celebrate the Hawaiian spirit of aloha that they loved and lived by. I have attended this luau more times than I could ever count, sharing it with family and friends over the years. I keep going back due to the delicious food and impeccable service coupled with the undeniable Aloha Spirit that emanates from this loving family.
The heart of any luau is the pa‘ina (the feast), and they will make sure you don’t go hungry: Kalua Pig roasted in the earthen imu oven. Cousin Gary’s secret recipe for Teriyaki Beef, Ono MahiMahi, and tasty Chicken Adobo are all served with a family style bowl of poi (which Grandma insists you try!) You will be so grateful for this abundant feast you will not be able to resist if invited to try some hula moves up on stage to show your appreciation.
