The Haleo Luau is an evening that celebrates the history of the ahupua’a (land area) called Keauhou and the heart of those who came from this land area. From the birth of Kamehameha III to the surfing stories of He’eia Bay, the dancers and musicians of Island Breeze take you on a journey through a very special time in Hawaii’s history. Learn about the battle of Kuamo’o and how Kamehameha III bridged the gap of ancient treasures and traditions, as he brought the people of his kingdom into a “new era” in the islands.

Travel with us as we share share stories of our Polynesian cousins and the gifts they brought to Hawai’i through their language, culture, music and dance. Meet the dancers before the show to “talk story” and learn more about the language and culture of Hawai’i. Live dinner music serenades guests as they enjoy a delicious Hawaiian feast. And just as the sun is setting over Keauhou Bay, Haleo begins.

The Haleo Luau is held under the hala trees, on the Hawai’i Lawn at the Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, known for its gracious hospitality and abundant aloha on the Kona coast at Keauhou.

Under starry skies, guests dine in one of Hawaii’s most beautiful oceanfront locations where manta rays gather, whales breach, sunsets are stunning and history comes alive.
