Food & drinks were great! Show was great! Activities before the show was great! As a local, I was disappointed with how guest was greeted with the shell lei. The camera person just handed it to people instead of putting it over their head. Didn't need to kiss them on cheek but not just hand it to them. That's not the Aloha way!!!

Excellent service, the bus driver who picked us up give us a great explanation of all the local historical features. Had a great sense of humour. Great service. Very caring individual.

Enjoy a backyard-style Hawaiian luau on a stunning beachfront area, offering a unique glimpse into Polynesian culture and hospitality under the stars.

See the location where Disney's Lilo & Stitch movie was shot as you immerse yourself in the live cultural performances, including hula dances, fire-knife shows, and the Imu Ceremony.

Savor your luau dinner with dishes blending the American-Hawaiian cuisines, featuring kalua pig roasted in an underground imu, island-style chicken, fresh local sides, and tropical desserts.

Start off with a warm lei greeting and participate in pre-show festivities like craft and weaving lessons, and traditional Hawaiian tattoo making that immerse you in island traditions.

Ideal for those who want to get into the Aloha spirit in an open-air setting, families & children who want lively and engaging activities, and those who want to learn more about Polynesian culture through vibrant storytelling & performances.

Upgrade to Original Luau (with central area seating) to enjoy additional complimentary beverages and souvenir gifts. Or choose the Plumeria Luau (VIP seating) experience for initial table service during the luau, round-trip transportation from Waikiki, Express Bar privileges, free parking, & souvenirs.

Know your leis:

What is a lei? A garland or wreath worn around your neck, as a symbol of love, honor, respect, celebration, and friendship in Hawaiian culture.

Shell lei: Made with locally sourced shells, they are long-lasting wreaths worn around your neck, unique to Hawaii.

Kukui nut lei: Made with polished kukui nuts, sourced from the kukui (or candlenut) tree, these long-lasting leis signify harmony, honor, and respect.

Your activities explained:

Kupe’e: A fresh floral accessory handcrafted and typically used as a hairpiece, or an accessory you can wear around your ankle or wrist.

Moko art: The art of Polynesian tattoo making using traditional Polynesian motifs.

Imu & Imu ceremony: Imus are large underground ovens used in cooking, typically in luaus or other festive celebrations. The imu is prepared by digging a pit, heating rocks inside it, layering it with vegetation and the food, and finally covering it for an extended period of time till the food is steamed & roasted. The Imu ceremony is the process of uncovering the lid, taking the prepared food out, and preparing it for the luau, to showcase the art of this ancient cooking method in practice.
