About the Pāʻina Waikīkī Luau
Experience the magic of Waikīkī at Pāʻina Waikīkī, a one-of-a-kind dinner party luau where the vibrant stories of Waikīkī’s legendary eras come to life through festive mele (songs), hula, and the highest caliber of Polynesian performing arts.
This unique event weaves together the rich history of Waikīkī, featuring tales of legendary surfing, Hawaii’s royal families and their historic summer homes, the golden era of beach boys, captivating hula girls, and the exciting Samoan fireknife dance, a signature part of the luau spectacle.
The cultural and natural beauty of Waikīkī is showcased in lively songs and dances that reflect the life-giving streams that flow through the heart of Waikīkī today, as well as the beloved stories of Hawaii’s monarchs and their deep love for the people and the place.
Cultural Activities
Meet our kamaʻaina (local islanders) who will share traditional hana noʻeau (cultural arts) they grew up with in Waikīkī. Enjoy hands-on experiences, such as:
Kui lei: Create your own floral adornment to wear for the evening
