Gathering of the Kings Luau - Fairmont Orchid
A feast fit for a king awaits you at the “Gathering of the Kings” Luau held at the beautiful and luxurious Fairmont Orchid in Waikoloa, a Four Diamond Resort on the Big Island’s Kohala Coast!
Sample authentic and traditional Polynesian fare - exciting, tantalizing dishes you wouldn’t normally have the chance to experience at your run-of-the-mill luau. The Hawaiian Islands are well-represented, of course, with “‘ono grinds” like lau lau, poke, poi, and all the rest, but for something a little different, why not try some Samoan vaisu (grilled fish topped with coconut sauce) or how about sampling a little of that oh-so-tasty Papaya Chicken from Tahiti?
Decisions, decisions…
Plus, there’s an open bar!
After the feast, sit back, relax, and enjoy a magical, unforgettable evening beneath the stars as the talented cast of Island Breeze Productions guides you on a musical journey that combines traditional Polynesian and modern dance choreography for an experience like no other!
Witness the struggles and the triumphs of the earliest settlers of these islands as the Island Breeze performers recreate the epic tale of the first Polynesians’ journey across the Pacific!
The “Gathering of the Kings” takes place every Tuesday and Saturday at the Fairmont Orchid Plantation Estates – don’t miss it! .
