Nutridge Sunset Luau

Located just fifteen minutes outside of Honolulu and high above the city, Nutridge Estate offers an intimate, family-style luau that is very different from the large scale, highly produced luaus that you often find on Oahu. The natural setting, small size, and the warmth of the staff, combined with a strong focus on Hawaiian culture creates a luau experience that feels truly unique and special.

Nutridge Estate is located within Pu’u ‘Ualaka’a Wayside Park and just above the popular Makiki Tantalus Lookout area. The estate is a registered historic structure and the site of the first Macadamia nut plantation established in Hawaii. Today the Nutridge Estate is owned by the state of Hawaii and is leased to a local business which hosts community and private events, and holds small, backyard-style luaus that are open to the public for a fee six nights a week.

Nutridge Estate is a protected area, so luau attendance is restricted to small groups (generally 20 to 80 attendees) to limit the impact on the environment and the existing structures. A significant portion of the revenues made from the luaus held at Nutridge are used to fund the maintenance and management of Hawaii’s state parks and helps to preserve and protect these special sites.
