Ever wonder how an imu (traditional underground oven) is prepared? Mafatu is on site every morning before the sun rises to prepare the lūʻau imu. Part of the Aloha Kai lūʻau demonstration shows guests the process of uncovering the imu and revealing the cooked pig or pua‘a underneath. Join us at Sea Life Park for more cultural activities before the lūʻau begins.
