Aha'aina - Royal Hawaiian Luau
This luau is currently unavailable for booking on our site. For another great Oahu luau we highly recommend, check out Sea Life Park Hawaii Luau.
Taking place in the heart of Waikiki at the iconic Pink Palace, the Aha'aina Luau offers a Hawaiian luau in grand Royal Hawaiian style. Set on the Ocean Lawn right on Waikiki Beach, the luau grounds overlook Diamond Head and the sunset over the ocean.
The evening festivities start with cultural presentations, such as kapa making (a cloth made of pounded bark), poi pounding (poi is a traditional Hawaiian starch made from taro) and na lawai'a (tending of fishing tools). The sound of the conch shell signals the start of the big luau feast, which is followed by a spectacular performance that includes hula dances as well as music from Hawaii and other Polynesian island nations.
Luau Highlights:
- Perfect beachfront location on Waikiki Beach
- Takes place at the historic Royal Hawaiian Hotel
- Learn about old Hawaii and Hawaiian customs and culture
- Take part in Hawaiian activities

Full Luau (Premium or Standing Seating) includes 1 welcome drink and 2 drinks during the luau.
