Enjoy interactive workshops, cultural games, and the imu ceremony before sitting down to a farm-to-table dinner.

Dinner features a thoughtful blend of Hawaiian and local food traditions—Hawaiian cuisine reflects the ingredients and techniques brought by early Polynesian settlers, while “local food” emerged between 1850 and 1930 as immigrant workers from Asia, Polynesia, Europe, and America introduced new flavors. The menu includes Nalo greens with liliko‘i dressing, steamed white rice, kalua pua‘a (shredded pork), pulehu chicken, pua‘a lau lau (meat-filled taro leaf wraps), sweet bread, tropical pineapple, lilikoi bars (passion fruit cookies), haupia (coconut jello), u‘ala (purple sweet potato), and baked fish in garlic-lemon-butter sauce.

As the evening continues, enjoy traditional Hawaiian music, storytelling, and hula dancing that bring the island’s history to life, culminating in a thrilling fire-knife performance beneath the stars. Originally Hawaii’s first macadamia nut plantation, the Nutridge Estate has welcomed legendary guests, including Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley during the filming of Blue Hawaii. Today, it is home to Oahu’s #1 luau—an intimate, culturally enriching experience where every guest enjoys up-close interaction, heartfelt hospitality, and the true Spirit of Aloha.
