E Ala Ē – A Greeting of the Sun

For centuries, Hawaiians have signaled the day’s end by blowing the pū (conch shell). In the traditional way, we light torches to prepare for the evening and end the celebration with an oli (chant). Join us every evening at sunset for this special tradition.

Sunrise or sunset photo experience complimentary for resort guests, reservations required. Photos available for purchase.

We share traditional styles of lei making that our kupuna (ancestors) used and still use to this day while incorporating the gathering process. Teaching guests how and what to gather around the grounds of the resort allows for an experience unique to each and every guest.
