Top Things to do in Oahu Hawaii: Do a Luau

Based on a tradition of Hawaiian feasts, the Luau has evolved into a rite of passage for tourists. Expect a splashy show, and a huge buffet (quality various.) The Polynesian Cultural Center, above, does an excellent Luau that's under cover-- no rain worries. No liquor is served, whereas at the Paradise Cove Luau, drinking jokes start during your bus-ride.

Kids will enjoy fun activities at this luau (stick-throwing games, tattoos, crafts, canoe ride); unfortunately, these activities ended at dark.
