Admission included

The rich cultural and natural beauty of Waikīkī is highlighted in songs and dances of the life-giving streams that still flow into the heart of Waikīkī today, and the tender stories of Hawaiiʻs beloved monarchs, their love for their people and this famed place. Meet our kamaʻāina, our local islanders who will share with you some of the hana noʻeau (cultural arts) they grew up with here in Waikīkī. Kui lei – string a floral adornment perfect to wear for the evening’s festivities. Tatau Pasefika – tattoos can be found all throughout Polynesia. Learn about its significance and perhaps brave a temporary tattoo for the Pāʻina. And hula of course… Pāʻina Waikīkī is full of music and hula and so we invite everyone to join in.

Disappointment for airport pick up. Everything else was nice.

I had a pick up in Waikiki Hawaii at the airport and when I get got there, I called and it was no record of my pick up. I had a drivers assigned to me and everything, but it was no pick up for me so I give two rating.

Great time

We only had one night in Oahu before catching our cruise ship. We chose this luau because it was close and we really thought the dancers did an amazing job. The seating for VIP was great as well as the service. The food was better than expected and hit the spot. I thought a little pricy but for the extra drinks and ViP seating overall worth it.

Exceptional experience.

Great experience! Food quality, all you can eat, was exceptional. Hosts, especially wait staff Briana, were attentive, providing friendly professional service. Cultural entertainment was both entertaining and educational. Venue was a plus, even for us not staying at the hotel. Will definitely do again.

I booked this because it was convenient, as we stayed in the Mariott. Service was great, and the show was good, is why I gave it two stars, but the food was pretty awful. Drinks were not good either. Not at all what I’d expect for the price, and not at all worth it. I definitely don’t recommend it.
