Luaus,Worth It?

We are going to the OLL in Maui for the second half of our honeymoon. Do you think we should check one out in Kauai also to get us into the spirit, or is one luau enough? What other nighttime activities do you recommend aside from going out to dinner?

Luaus,Worth It?

The luau shows on Kaua%26#39;i are different than OLL, more showy/touristy. I haven%26#39;t been to the one at the old Coconut Coast resort since it changed into - what is it - Tihati? Most of the food will be pretty much the same stuff but could be better or worse at various places. Drinks at OLL had liquor in them, as opposed to the few drops at the other places I%26#39;ve been. Personally, I think you%26#39;ll find plenty to do on Kaua%26#39;i and won%26#39;t miss doing a luau there.

Luaus,Worth It?

We went to the Old Lahaina Luau in October and thought it was extraordinary. A beautiful setting (sun setting over the ocean), potent drinks, great entertainment and even good food.

I wouldn%26#39;t want to go to another one.

I agree with the other reviews - one luau during your honeymoon will be enough. They%26#39;re not romantic and also, they%26#39;re quite expensive. Treat yourself to a lovely romantic meal instead!

p.s. I can thoroughly recommend the Hukilau Lanai in Kappa. Although it%26#39;s not an overally romantic restaurant, the food and service are fantastic, especially the warm chocolate pudding. Yum, yum!

p.s. the nightlife in Kauai is much quieter/low key compared to Maui...

I second the recommendation for Huki Lau. It may be my favorite nice restaurant on Kaua%26#39;i.

We go to at least one Luau every year; alternating islands.(Old Lahaina in less than 6 weeks) Seems to partially satisfy Mrs. kama%26#39;s ';we need to dress-up'; quota and nice place to visit with folks from here-there-n-everywhere. Almost always pleasant (Sheraton Keauhou on Big Island the most recent exception), but as far as true educational content is concerned, let%26#39;s just say you probably won%26#39;t wear out your pencil taking notes.

If you decide to try one, might want to take along a Mai Tai booster bottle; perhaps a stop at Long%26#39;s Drug Store for a flask of Bacardi?

As far as life in the Kauai Fast Lane is concerned, hopefully you%26#39;ll be blessed with a post by OPA Kwils!

One more thing; there are several good east coast (Wailua area) Luaus, but if a sunset is important to you, seems like the best is at the Hyatt Poipu. The eats are above average, can usually find a discount in rags such as ';This Week on Kauai'; and they do (at least used to) have a Fire Dancer (amazing photos). Believe they still offer ';preferred seating'; @ a reasonable price; gets you up-close and increases the odds of success if you would be interested in something as mean %26amp; nasty as volunteering your Honey for the onstage Hula Lessons!

Has anyone been to a luau on Kauai? Does the Hyatt have one?
