Ka Moana Lu'au

4.0 (1 review)

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Feel the boom of Polynesian drums echo across Honolulu Harbor as you step onto the waterfront lawn at Aloha Tower, where the evening glows with energy and tradition. From the heat of the fire-knife performance to the rhythm of hula and the flavors of a local feast, this lūʻau pulls you straight into the heart of island culture.

  • Try cultural activities like lei making, hula, ukulele, and coconut weaving
  • Enjoy pre-show appetizers and a locally sourced farm-to-table buffet
  • Watch an award-winning Polynesian production with live music and dance
  • Experience the breathtaking fire-knife finale under the Honolulu night sky
  • Choose from tiered seating packages with leis, drink tickets, and VIP perks

Quick Local Tip: Don’t skip the poi. Locals know it’s best when you pair a small scoop with salty dishes like kalua pork or lomi salmon. The flavors balance each other perfectly and give you a more authentic taste of a traditional Hawaiian plate.

What to Expect

Arrive at Aloha Tower before sunset and settle into a beautiful waterfront setting overlooking Honolulu Harbor. Before dinner, explore interactive cultural activities like lei making, coconut headband weaving, hula, and ukulele lessons while enjoying live Hawaiian music and island appetizers.

When the buffet opens, savor a variety of traditional Hawaiian favorites and locally inspired dishes before taking your seat for the evening's main performance. Through hula, Tahitian dance, Māori haka, live music, and storytelling, the show celebrates the cultures and traditions of Polynesia.

The evening concludes with an exhilarating Samoan fire knife performance, delivering a spectacular finale against the backdrop of Honolulu Harbor. Throughout the night, audience participation and cultural demonstrations create an engaging experience that goes beyond a traditional dinner show.

The dancing, dancers, the musicians and the drummers were amazing. All the performers were very engaging with the crowd. I loved the pineapple butter that went on the rolls.
