What Is A Luau?
A luau is a traditional Hawaiian party or feast, usually accompanied by entertainment and outdoor activities.

A luau is a one-of-a-kind party that brings family and friends together for various pastimes and activities as a way to commemorate life. Luaus have long been a social, cultural, spiritual, and entertainment event where everyone is welcomed with aloha (love and respect).

Notes
This fantastic Luau is also wheelchair accessible and child-friendly. However, as the Luau is situated near the beach, visitors who rely on wheelchairs may find it challenging to navigate some parts of the beach. Because of this, it’s highly recommended that those with disabilities bring someone along to assist them.
Additionally, although children below three years old are free of charge, they will not be given a chair inside the bus and will have to share with an accompanying adult.
The Luau does not offer high chairs, but strollers are allowed inside. However, keep in mind that it is situated near the beach and could potentially damage strollers.
It’s also best to check the schedule with the management beforehand as the Luau may be unavailable during inclement weather. You must also bring your government-issued photo ID with you at all times.
FAQ
What Should I Wear For At The Luau?
We suggest wearing shorts, slacks, or capri pants with a blouse or a sundress for ladies. For men, khaki shorts or jeans and a Hawaiian Aloha shirt are the best options.
You might want to wear flip-flops or sandals as well since the seating area is on the sand. You can also bring a light jacket or sweater with you as the air can get chilly after sunset.
How Many Guests Can The Luau Accommodate?

Are There Any “Show-only” Tickets?
Germaine’s Luau aims to give their guests the authentic Hawaiian experience, which is why they do not offer “show-only” tickets. The luau dinner is an integral part of the experience, and they want their guests to enjoy it fully.
