Yes, we know it's kind of touristy with all the aloha calling, hula dancing and eating kalua pig which has been cooked covered in ti leaves for hours in a Hawaiian 'imu' (fireplace in the open made from lava rocks for cooking luau pig and other meats) and being served poi, the original Hawaiian diet. Well, don't miss the food, whether you like it or not (it's definitely an acquired taste) and don't miss the show at the luau because everything what you will experience at your Hawaiian luau is part of the ancient Hawaiian culture and traditions.
The highlight of any Hawaiian luau is the Samoan or Polynesian Fire Dance. One can see some dare devils there, and the fast beat of the drums gets Hawaiian visitors drawn into this special performance. If you have never had a chance to watch a Polynesian Fire Dance, we have two choices for you. Which Samoan or Polynesian Fire Dance do you like best?
Let's hear your choice. If you have seen an exceptional Hawaiian luau show, which you think other Hawaii visitors should see, please, share with us. Tell us Hawaiian Island and hotel or resort. As usual, we are looking forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacation and Accommodation Guide

Wow, when I saw the first video, I definitely didn't think anything would top it.
However the second one was super impressive. A lot more acrobatic.
My vote's on #2.
#1 of course is good but it's hard to compare with #2 because:
* #2 is very close-up
* #2 is in daylight and that allows one to see everyone very well (including how hard the moves exactly are); #1 is in darkness
* #2 has a energetic younger guy doing the show
vote is #2 but if we had a close up video of #1, the answer might have been #1 instead ...

and let them know you saw this on 'Best Hawaii Vacation' blog for a 10% discount !
I like them both but my pull has always been for the Tahitian dancers. It's the part of the hula shows that I always wait for -- it's exciting and playful. It's fun to watch the male tourists blush when the girls pull them up in front of the crowd. :)
mahalo to our hawaii blog visitors who gave their vote which Hawaii luau show video they liked best. we liked the hawaii firedance youtube video #2 the best too. even after many years of island living, the show is the highlight of any hawaiian luau! what about a 'hawaii luau vacation'?!
thanks to everybody who 'voted' by email. blog comments seem to be still a problem for some visitors. don't worry. this is not essay writing at school. share your hawaii experience with others. mahalo and aloha, pua
Can you please let me know where these luau's are? We will be going to Hawaii next May & I would LOVE to see them. Especially the first one. Please write me back with the information on where to see these luau's. My email address is wendy_ronquille@transcanada.com.
mahalo wendy for your interest in these hawaiian luau shows. to tell you the truth it really all depends on which hawaiian island you will be for your vacation in hawaii, whether you will be able to see those special shows.
no worries. each island has many luaus to offer with slightly different shows, mostly including the fire dance and the polynesian drums. it also depends how much money you want to spend on your luau in hawaii. i will email you and see how we can help you find the best luau in your area. aloha, pua
