Are luaus in Hawaii worth it?
Are luaus in Hawaii worth it? If you are looking to embrace the culture and atmosphere of Hawaii, one of the best experiences is a luau, and one of the best luaus is the Old Lahaina Luau. It is steeped in authenticity and worth every penny. That is, depending on your expectations.
Do you have to dress up for a luau in Hawaii?
There is no dress code at an authentic luau on Oahu, so wear whatever is comfortable. For ladies, many choose to find a nice sundress for the evening.
Is it culturally insensitive to go to a luau?
One last note about respect; and please, we cannot emphasize this enough: Unless you are Hawaiian or are very intimately familiar with the culture, do not throw or attend a party deemed a “luau.” Culture is an identity- not a party theme.
What do you wear to a luau?
Hawaiian print shirts for men and floral dresses for women are the easiest and most comfortable choices. When paired with khaki shorts or slacks, the aloha shirt goes from casual to dressy. For a conservative look, women can wear a traditional mu?umu?u or long dress with floral print or a sarong.
