Paradise Cove greeting

Waikiki

The Luau at Paradise Cove is my most outstanding memory of Waikiki. A tropical Mai Tai greeting and
live Hawaiian music set the festive mood of the evening.

After the 'Shower of Flowers' there is a demonstration of the net fishing techniques of old Hawaii ...in the Hukilau on the beach. Then follows the Royal
Court Procession and the time-honoured techniques of underground oven cooking at
the Imu Ceremony.

Then the evening feast begins with traditional Hawaiian dishes, after which
Hawaiian dancers entertain with songs and dances
of Hawaii and Polynesia, against the backdrop of Hawaii's spectacular sunset.

Iolani Palace

Iolani Palace

'Iolani Palace is the only true royal palace in the US and the last official residence of the kings and queens who ruled Hawaii. King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani completed the palace in 1882. It served as the monarch residence until the dethronement of Queen Lili'uokalani in 1893 by American businessmen.
