Waikoloa Beach Resort Cultural Entertainment
Listen. Music, song and story fill Waikoloa Beach Resort with the animated sounds and eclectic energies of Hawaii. Under the tree, ukulele class; later the laughter of lei-makers, the crackle and chat of coconut weavers. On the petroglyph path, a guide talks you into the past; and onstage the flawless footsteps of hula, the shimmering notes of slack-key guitar, the bone-deep resonance of ancient chant, and everywhere, the voice of aloha.
