DESCRIPTION

The twice-weekly extravaganza has been welcoming guests since 2007 and is the state's only luau show performed "in-the-round," offering great views from every seat in the house. Featuring a state-of-the-art media system and an interactive stage design, the show includes a cast of approximately 50 dancers and musicians including an award-winning fire knife dancer.

The cultural journey begins with craft demonstrations and Hawaiian games, followed by the traditional imu ceremony. Guests are treated to a sumptuous buffet, while hula dancers and musicians entertain. Following dinner, the 45-minute main show begins as dancers take the stage to share the ancient Hawaiian legend of Kalamaku (child of the new land) and the Polynesians' amazing and dangerous journey from Tahiti to Kauai.

If you're looking to see the entire Kilohana Plantation the train ride is the way to go. Sit back and relax in our elegant mahogany passenger cars as you tour and see the tropical beauty and bounty Kilohana.
