🌺 Experience Nutridge Luau

Immerse yourself in local Hawaiian culture by visiting an authentic Hawaiian luau. Experience Nutridge Luau is held at a scenic lookout point within a state park on Mount Tantalus, at the historic Nutridge Estate. It’s a fantastic location for a luau, surrounded by a forest and tropical flora. The views from up here are amazing as well, overlooking a long stretch of Oahu’s south shore.

Prior to the big luau feast, enjoy a variety of cultural presentations and activities, including the traditional imu (underground oven) demonstration. Then sit down to a delicious farm-to-table dinner featuring a variety of island-style foods. After dinner, enjoy an exciting Polynesian show.
