Equal parts tradition and showmanship, the modern Hawaiian luau as presented at Kilohana is certain to entertain. It is more theatrical than the performances put on by authentic Hawaiian halaus (hula troops), but most people seem to feel that as far as a cultural experience goes, it more than suffices. Guests receive a shell lei upon arrival. As the night progresses, guests dine on Hawaiian specialties, listen to live music and watch fire dancers from Samoa and other Polynesian islands.
