What To Expect
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.

4.00Fun, very educational about the hawaiin culture, no one tried to take a group picture of us and i wish they did. Waiter for drinks very good
Not worth the price.

1.00Definitely overpriced. I should have trusted the reviews. The show was mediocre. Very small stage. ALOT of seating. If you get the show only ticket then you’ll be sitting in the very very back. Can barely see the stage!
Great show for the money.

5.00It was a very nice show. We booked without food. The guests with food bookings were there at the same time. Not so good. The show lasted less than two hours.
Great Lu’au for our last night in Waikiki

5.00This was a great way to see how the cultures of different people to the island helped shape Hawaii the way it is today. The island has such a great history and story this was a nice way to see how it all comes together. It was our last night in Waikiki and we enjoyed spending our last night in this way. Food was lovely. We did the VIP package and the drinks were great - the Lava Flow is beautiful for those who like sweet alcoholic cocktails.
