For a true Hawaiian experience at Turtle Bay Resort, don’t miss our weekly Voyages of Polynesia Luau on Fridays at 6 pm. You will be greeted in traditional Hawaii style with a kukui nut lei at the Kahuku Lawn Terrace overlooking Kuilima Bay. Hawaiian music follows with a cocktail reception. Festival drums from the island of Tahiti announce it is about to get busy! The Luau – the Hawaii’s words for feast – is about to begin.

The Polynesian revue kicks off with Kaina Tehe Nua, a fast hip-dance from the Tuamotu Islands. Next enjoy the Samoan Slap Dance, followed by Tiare, a beautiful legend from French Polynesia comparing women to the white gardenia of Tahiti. Next, see Wesi a club and spear dance from the warriors of Fiji in preparation for battle, and Tewe Tewe a popular boys’ hula with suggestive moves. The evening culminates with a spectacular fire dance during which our dancers select volunteer guests to dance to the Tahitian music.
