Each month when the full moon rises, Mauna Lani hosts an enchanted evening of storytelling and entertainment on the lawn of the resort’s oceanfront Eva Parker Woods Cottage. Join Mauna Lani’s Cultural Historian, Danny Kaniela Akaka, as he leads guests in sharing stories, songs and dance. The event perpetuates the traditional folk art of storytelling and provides a chance to experience the true aloha spirit. You never know who is going to step up on stage from legendary musicians to hula dancers. The oceanfront location is the piko (spiritual center) of the resort’s ancient Hawaiian fishponds, making it the perfect venue under the full moon. Steeped in genuine aloha, this intimate kanikapila (jam session) is not to be missed, and is held every month, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on the Saturday closest to the full moon.
