Experience a night of Polynesian culture through music, food and dance. The Hawaiian luau is a long-celebrated tradition and is available for you to enjoy in Waikiki! Each luau starts with authentic Hawaiian music, games, activities and gratitude towards Polynesian culture. Then the traditional dinner buffet is served with a wide assortment of Hawaiian dishes such as poi, lomi salmon, kalua pig, poke and haupia dessert.
Once the sun sets, the performances begin. Each performance celebrates the history of Hawaii through hula, fire knife dance, Hawaiian chant and unique traditional storytelling. Here are our favorite authentic luaus in Waikiki.
