Arrive and receive beaded leis and photographs with dancers and performers of the evening. Developed and later sold if you desire to buy, for $20 as you leave. Mai-tais or non-alcoholic fruit juice as everyone arrives. Table centerpieces of fresh pineapple boats for the eating are close at hand. See the opening of the pit, and transportation of the 'pig' (or smoked turkey, for those who chose not to eat pork) to the buffet-style table, with an array of fruits, salads, baked sweet potatoes, breads, meats, and of course the poipoi. Following the wonderful meal, the entertainment begins with men and women hula dancers with a Tahitian flavor. Singing, fun, audience participation, twirling fire sabers. Coconuts are not just for eating. They as a pair make an upper cover for one of the many costumes that the young ladies wear in their dances, which seem to last such a short time, but a full 3 hours of eating and entertainment for young and old. A must-do while on the garden island.
