The Hawaiian experience is not complete without seeing a luau! So to celebrate the Hawaiian culture & heritage, we spent the evening at the Maui Hyatt's Drums of the Pacific Luau. Upon entering, we had a quick photo opp (see above) and were greeted with shell leis and Hawaiian drinks.
Waiting for the evening to begin...

Loved the purple ... go K-State!
In addition to the entertainment, the luau also served an amazing buffet of traditional Hawaiian foods including Kalua Pork, Huli Huli Chicken, Grilled Fish with Mango Salsa, Polynesian Rice, Vegetables MakaMaka, Soba Noodles, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Pacific Ahi Poke & the Traditional Poi. The dessert table featured Macadamia Nut Luau Cream Pie, Pineapple Cake & Bread Pudding.
What an evening to experience the culture, the people, the food ... all that makes Hawaii so special!
