Smith Family Garden Luau Schedule

5:00pm Welcome Visit Paradise near the sacred Wailua River, a place once reserved for Hawaiian royalty. Receive your shell lei and either take a narrated tram tour or a leisurely stroll around the lush 30-acre gardens (last tram tour departs at 5:30pm)

6:00pm Imu Ceremony Meet some of our family members and learn of the Hawaiian cooking method called Kalua — where the Pig is wrapped in Ti leaves and cooked to perfection in our earthen (underground) Imu oven.

6:15pm Cocktails & Music Have a Maitai, Beer, or glass of Wine at the open (FREE) bar while the Smith family entertains with Hawaiian songs. (Soft drinks and juice are also available.)

6:30pm Luau Feast The music continues while you enjoy traditional flavors and island favorites like the kalua pork (from the Imu), beef teriyaki, chicken adobo, and sweet and sour mahimahi (firm Hawaiian white fish also known as Dorado.) Sample our ono (delicious)local specialties like lomi lomi salmon, fresh poi, Hawaiian sweet potato, macaroni salad, namasu salad and scrumptious tropical deserts!

8:00pm Rhythm of Aloha Show Move to the rhythm with colorful, authentic performances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Philippines, New Zealand, China and Japan in our spacious open-air, torch-lit 'Pele Amphitheater' (complete with an erupting volcano!).
