The
Waikiki Starlight Luau is held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, set in a
lush rooftop garden under Waikiki's evening skies. Your luau experience
begins the moment you arrive, with a warm lei greeting, a welcome Mai
Tai punch, and live music. Before dinner, you can enjoy a variety of
interactive cultural activities.
Then sit down to a hearty luau buffet featuring authentic Hawaiian favorites, followed by a lively Polynesian show with music and dances from Hawaiʻi and across Polynesia - an unforgettable Waikiki night out.
Friday Night Luau on the Great Lawn: On Fridays, the luau moves to the scenic Great Lawn overlooking the lagoon and beach, and guests can easily head to the beachfront afterward to catch Hilton’s famous Friday fireworks.
