Smith Family Luau

  • February 21, 2003
  • Rated 2 of 5 by TimmyDC from Washington, District of Columbia
I was looking for an authentic Hawaiian Luau and asked around and they said this was the place, but now I'm not sure they were on the same wavelength as me. I was looking for one somewhat intimate - real grass skirt hula girls and some fun tribal music. What I got was more mass marketed food and a "show" that was performed concert-style in an ampitheatre. So I was a bit disappointed, but a few "loaded" Mai Tais made up for that. I can't give this luau a strong recommendation, but if your expectations are not high, this is not a bad experience.

Smith Family Luau

No trip to Hawaii would be complete without a traditional Hawaiian luau. The Smith Family Luau is set in the lush Botanical and Cultural Gardens in the Wailua River Valley. You have an hour from gate opening until the luau begins to view the gardens by a Hawaiian Christmas luau. Its a rare occasion that you get to see a hula Santa and hear Jingle Bells played on a ukelele. The buffet dinner had all the traditional Hawaiian luau foods or smoked pork, poi, and pineapple, plus there were a few added Christmas holiday items. The food was good and plentiful and the entertainment was memorable. The ceremonial digging of the pit and burying of the pig were missed in this luau, but their explanation was given.
