Royal Kona Luau

The Royal Kona Resort along with Tihati Productions presents “Lava - Legends & Legacies,” an island-style celebration of the best Hawaii has to offer!

Experience  the Kona Coast's best sunset as a breathtaking backdrop of a vibrant Hawaiian sky provides the spectacular background for the Royal Kona Resort Luau.  The ocean front setting highlights the appeal and energy of this dynamic and popular Polynesian show.   Enjoy an evening of food, music and dance as we present a journey through the South Pacific's legends and lore in historic Kailua-Kona.

The call of the conch, the lighting of the torches, and the beat of the native drums beckon you to escape to the Hawaii of your dreams.  Relax with cool trade winds and enchanting Hawaiian music performed by the Tihati Serenaders.  Enjoy Hawaiian arts and crafts followed by the unearthing of the Kalua Pua'a (roasted pork) during the Imu Ceremony and dinner buffet.

After experiencing the delicious all-you-can-eat Polynesian buffet, you will enjoy the acclaimed cast of musicians and dancers from Tihati Productions as they take you on an authentic journey through the South Pacific Islands of Hawaii, Raratonga, Tahiti, New Zealand and Samoa, through the travels and romance of Holomoana (the voyager) and Kalua (Hawaiian princess).  Their performance includes songs and dances rarely seen in typical luau shows and is highlighted by a Samoan “fire knife” dance, simply too amazing to miss!
