Hawaiian Luaus: They are Not your Ordinary Barbecue

By Nora Seabolt


The Pacific Ocean tropics beckon visitors towards Hawaii from around the world. Tourists eagerly anticipate the surfing and swimming easily available in a tour across the ocean. A luau is a tradition that is not to be missed when traveling to the stunning Hawaiian Islands.

At home it is a challenge to find all the spit roast parts so that an ordinary hunk of meat can be prepared for an outdoor meal. Banana leaves around the pig take the toxins out as it roasted in the pit for hours until it is deemed ready to eat.Food served at the luau is prepared using old recipes.

Encountering an active volcano like Kilauea allows visitors to note the flowing lava and its destruction. They also learn how the area is changed and built up in other localities. If you have friends or relatives that live in Hawaii, that is another reason to make the journey. Sometimes you can find a bargain vacation package that provides accommodation, a rental car, airfare and activities such as a luau. No matter why you choose to travel to Hawaii, it is a beautiful place to visit. Travelers will find people of all nations visiting any one of this chain of islands to relax and enjoy the tropical sunshine.

The distance between each island demands a method of travel by water or air. Most airlines provide service only to the beautiful, but busy, Honolulu International Airport in Oahu. Travel plans can be locked twelve months ahead of time. It is advised if a person wants to travel over the holidays, during peak season or for a sports event like the Aloha Bowl. Become as one with your camera, because there are always scenic moments to record. The advantage of tourists is they will record your special snorkeling experience.

After a long day of sightseeing and swimming in the clear ocean waters, stop by the Farmers Market in Maui for some fresh fruit. Eat a light repast and save room for the traditional foods displayed on the luau serving line.Things like shimmering sand and a colorful sunset make Lahaina and Wailea seem like magical beach areas, making them popular locations for luaus in Maui.The weight of the pig is such that a spit roast motor would quickly burn out because of the uneven balancing.Instead, they worry about how many people it will take to lift the meat from the pit after it is cooked to perfection.

Tourists enjoy splitting their journey between Oahu and one of the other islands. The Big Island of Hawaii demonstrates the wild beauty of this state. The large coffee plantations in Kona are interesting to explore. Return trips are sometimes booked before departure as tourists discover more interesting things to see and do than originally planned.

Pearl Harbor is a must-see stop with the sunken vessels visible just under the ocean surface. Citizens of many countries lost friends and relatives on that fateful December day.Even new snorkelers find the lessons quick and easy, allowing them to see underwater sights firsthand. The brilliant colors of the unique ocean plants and fish define the tropics. Even if you have visited in the past, note your favorite experience and repeat it before leaving Hawaii and heading home.
