  5. E

    Aloha Beach Resort

    Presented by the famous Punua hula halau (troupe), this luau is both flashy and family-oriented, featuring keiki (child) to tutu (grandparent) dancers. Wallis and Shana Punua, who direct the show, follow in the footsteps of Kumu Hula Ku'ulei Punua, a senior hula teacher on Kaua'i. The dinner is your typical generous but standard open-bar, all-you-can-eat buffet.
