Oahu is one of the eight major Hawaiian islands. Geographically it is the third largest, but it is by far the most densely populated. Well known for its hospitality, Oahu is commonly called the gathering place. What better way to gather friends and family than with a luau Oahu. Thanks to the welcoming nature of the native islanders, you will feel right at home.
There are several business that offer luau packages, so you can choose which looks the most appealing to you. Most of these services offer luau packages priced to suit your budget. From the basic to the deluxe, whichever you choose this will be real Hawaiian fun for all.
Some packages are for the party, feast and entertainment. Others include so much more, so guests and tourists have the chance to immerse themselves in the Polynesian culture and history. This type of planned event lasts all day long, from noon to nine pm, and is priced comparably to the luau only package.
This traditional food festival is not like anything you have experienced before. The menu sticks to Polynesian foods. Poi, sweet potatoes, fish and pork are normally included on the menu. The pork comes from a pig cooked in the ground, which is the native way. You will be entertained with Hawaiian musicians and native hula dancers. If guests want to give the hula a try, they are welcome to do that. It helps to have had a few exotic drinks before attempting the hula.
The feeling is one of togetherness and celebration. Historically, luaus were held to honor some milestone in the lives of islanders. They have never been considered as just a gathering for mealtime. Luaus have always been held in the spirit of unity, gathering friends and family to participate as one group. Long ago all the guests sat on the ground on a mat made of lauhala leaves from the hala tree.
The Oahu Polynesian Cultural Center is a wonderful resource for tourists. Their luaus are rich with the history and culture of the island. You can book tours of Diamond Head, have a guided tour of a volcano or visit Pearl Harbor. Be sure to visit their website to discover everything the Center offers.
It is very interesting to learn what the island was like before the Western influence. Oahu was once a monarchy with a pronounced hierarchical society. When the Christian missionaries came in the 1800s they strongly influenced the existing culture. The Christian influence was just the beginning of outsiders coming to the island. The existing culture is rich in diversity with the coming together of many cultures.
The Hawaiian Islands joined the United States on August 21, 1959. The islands are officially a State, but they remain their own cultural experience. Certainly tourism and western business left their impression, but with any luck the fascinating culture of Oahu and the other Hawaiian islands will remain.
