Toa Luau At Waimea Valley

Are you planning a trip to Oahu and want to attend a family-friendly luau? Have you visited others around the island and are looking for something a little more genuine or unique? The Toa Luau at Waimea Valley is a family-run North Shore luau that has been open since October 2017. It’s an experience you won't want to miss if visiting Oahu for the first time or just want another unforgettable vacation!

Toa Luau Festivals

On the grass area, you'll discover some engaging luau activities that will show you the traditional methods and techniques of preparing for a big feast. Using coconut husks to start a fire, peeling apple bananas with wooden knives, shaving coconut chips, and making fish lau laus are just a few of the preparations for your great luau feast. It's a great pleasure to see how everything comes together in the end.

The Kava Ceremony

After the work is completed, the group gathers for a traditional kava ritual. This was a very memorable moment of the Toa luau, in my opinion. You will be split into groups to assist you in playing a vital part in the event.

There are times when you will sense the intensity of the tribesmen's interaction and wish you could cut the crowd's quiet with a knife. Not to panic, since this is a time for family and friend bonding.

The Hawaiian Luau

The luau feast starts once the Kava Ceremony has ended. In Samoan culture, it's a man’s job to cook and serve food for family members as well as guests at a party or event, and eat only after everyone else has been looked after and nourished... Quite remarkable!

As a visitor at the Toa Luau, you will note that there is a plentiful supply of food available. I think it is to ensure that they do not go hungry themselves after everyone has sat down to a delicious meal with them.
