 Diversity is a key word as the sun starts to set on the Big Island of Hawaii. Plan early so you are sure to see the sunset. It is guaranteed spectacular.
With a number of interesting towns, the fun of the Big Island is experiencing different evenings out each night. Kona offers a true Hawaiian experience in its restaurants and bars, with a healthy spoonful of influences from around the world for flavor. Hilo is a scenic outpost to while away the hours. This large island is also dotted with other inviting towns.
The major resorts on the Big Island plan regular evening attractions, including wine and food celebrations and traditional torch lighting ceremonies on the beach. Not surprising, finding a luau is not a difficult challenge. Starting off in the early evening, a luau usually consists of a tropical feast, beverages and exotic cocktails, island games and crafts. With the spectacular Hawaiian sunset as a setting, skilled performers will charm and entertain you with an extraordinary display of songs and dances that reflect traditional Hawaii and the islands' Polynesian roots, including the famed fire-dance and hula displays.
 The island atmosphere invites you to linger over a late dinner of traditional Hawaiian dishes, local favorites or continental cuisine in one of the fine restaurants, then begin your evening with a late drink as the sounds of traditional steel guitar reach the tropical breeze. Lots of different musical tastes can be satisfied, from jazz, blues and big band sounds to traditional hula groups, disco and the latest pop tunes.
Unlike the big city bustle found in Honolulu, the Big Island is a little more relaxed and a wonderful place to enjoy the evening quiet, the stars and a little romance. The sun is starting to sink. Let the fun begin! |
