Grill, relax, and enjoy Hawaii outdoors.
Q: Is this a cooking class?

Our Steak & BBQ Experience may take place at your condominium’s designated BBQ area or another suitable location, depending on access and location requirements.

Not at all. You decide how involved you want to be. Cook together, help with a few parts, watch and chat, or simply relax while your chef prepares the meal.

Group size depends on the kitchen, location, and type of experience. Tell us about your group when you inquire, and we’ll recommend the best setup.
Q: Are groceries included in the experience price?
Grocery and ingredient costs vary depending on the experience, group size, and menu. We’ll confirm what’s included and any estimated food costs before your booking is finalized.
Q: Can you accommodate dietary preferences or food allergies?
We can customize the menu around many dietary preferences and restrictions. Please let us know about any food allergies in advance so we can review your needs before confirming the experience.
