Smith's Tropical Luau
Smith's Tropical Luau is hosted at their tropical gardens on the east shore of the island on the Wailua River. They have a large assortment of tropical plants from many islands throughout the Pacific, and focus a good deal of attention on the shared cultures of Hawaii, China, Japan, Samoa, Polynesia, and many others. They also put on one hell of a luau! They roast a pig in the ground and dig it out in the Imu ceremony, then they bring that and enough food to feed a large island (they are feeding about 500 people at this event) into the main dining area and serve it up buffet style. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the open bar. I've never seen so many free Mai Tais in my life! After dinner they put on a very theatrical dance show that celebrates the cultures of Hawaii and the Hawaiian brethren around the Pacific.
