Overall, I still think this is the best luau I've been to so far.

It was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. As expected, it was a lava island, and I was surprised by the differences from Oahu. Since I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel, the Island Breeze Luau was conveniently held right in the backyard by the beach. Upon entering, I was presented with a shell lei by a Hawaiian beauty for a commemorative photo. People here are even more laid-back than on Oahu. When I was shown to my seat and looked back, there was the Pacific Ocean! Watching the waves crash against the lava rocks, I understood why King Kamehameha chose the Big Island as his home. I also got to see the imu ceremony (the ritual of taking out a pig that has been steamed for hours in an underground oven), and just as I was enjoying some drinks, we were served a royal feast buffet-style. The banquet, with the cool Kona breeze blowing, felt just like being with King Kamehameha himself. After we finished eating, the Polynesian show began. First, I was dazzled by the Tahitian fast hip-shaking dance, then overwhelmed by the Maori war dance, and finally enchanted by the beauty of the Hawaiian hula. It was an hour that flew by in no time. The finale was, without a doubt, the Samoan fire knife dance. They performed tricks that looked incredibly hot, exciting the audience. Throughout the show, friendly locals brought us drinks, and I was very satisfied. I believe it's a show that anyone, whether families, couples, or friends, can enjoy with peace of mind. If you have the chance to go to the Big Island, I highly recommend it!
初めてのハワイ島でした。さすがに聞いていた通りの溶岩島で、オアフ島との違いにびっくり。キングカメハメハホテルでの宿泊でしたので、アイランドブリーズルアウはすぐ裏庭のビーチサイドの敷地で行われ便利でした。 入場と同時にハワイアン美女に貝殻のレイをプレゼントされ記念撮影。 オアフ島よりさらに人々はゆったりとしています。 席に案内され、後ろを見たらもうそこは太平洋! 溶岩でできた岩にぶつかる波を見ながら、カメハメハ王がハワイ島を住居に選んだ理由も納得。 見たかったイムの儀式(地下のオーブンで長時間蒸された豚を取り出す儀式)も見れ、いい感じでお酒も回って来たところでバイキングスタイルの王族のごちそうを頂きました。コナの涼しい風に吹かれながらの宴会はまるでカメハメハ王そのもの。食べ終わった処でポリネシアンショーが始まりました。 まずはタヒチアンの超高速腰振りダンスに目を回し、マオリ族の戦いの踊りに圧倒され、ハワイアンのフーラの美しさに陶酔し、あっという間の一時間でした。最後は何と言ってもサモアンのファイヤーナイフダンスのフィナーレ。見ててどう見ても熱いだろうというトリックを次々に披露し、観客を熱狂させました。 ショーの間もフレンドリーなローカルが飲み物を運んでくれて、大満足。 家族、カップル、友達に限らずどんな方でも安心して楽しめるショーだと思います。 ハワイ島に行く機会があれば、ぜひお勧めです!
