About this experience

Ka Moana Luau brings a full evening of Polynesian culture to the Aloha Tower waterfront in Honolulu, Hawaii, pairing a farm-to-table buffet with an award-winning stage production. The night opens with hands-on cultural activities before moving into dinner and closing with a high-energy show built around the Polynesian Sword of Fire dance.

What sets this luau apart is the mix of participation and performance. You can try lei making, temporary tattoos, hula and drum lessons, coconut-headband weaving, and watch a coconut tree-climbing demonstration before the meal even starts. Dinner draws on local ingredients, from kalua pork and guava chicken to mahi mahi and haupia for dessert, with lemonade and water included and a bar menu of tropical cocktails, beer, and soft drinks available to purchase or included depending on package.

Six ticket types cover different levels of the experience, from the Classic Package to the Celebrity Package with a welcome Mai Tai, and each can be booked with or without Waikiki hotel transfers. The evening runs as a single continuous experience — cultural activities, buffet dinner, then the main show — set against the historic backdrop of Aloha Tower.

What to expect

After checking in at the oceanfront Aloha Tower venue, you'll move into a period of interactive cultural activities — lei making, temporary tattoos, hula and drum lessons, coconut-headband weaving, and a coconut tree-climbing demonstration set the tone for the evening. From there, the farm-to-table buffet opens, with mixed greens, hapa rice, stir-fry vegetables, mahi mahi, guava chicken, and kalua pork alongside haupia and ube cheesecake for dessert. Lemonade and water are included, and a bar menu offers Mai Tais, tropical cocktails, beer, and soft drinks, including the signature Ka Moana pineapple cocktail served in a fresh-cut pineapple.

Once dinner winds down, the evening shifts into the main stage production, an award-winning show that traces a way-finding journey through Polynesia. It builds toward the Polynesian Sword of Fire dance, and audience members are sometimes drawn into the performance itself. Depending on the package booked, the night can also include round-trip transfers from Waikiki, bookending the experience with hotel pickup and drop-off.

Things to note

  • Bring a light jacket, as evenings by the water at Aloha Tower can turn breezy after sunset
  • Wear comfortable shoes since the evening includes standing activities like hula and drum lessons
  • Bring a passport or ID card for check-in
  • Arrive with time to spare so you can take part in the cultural activities before dinner starts
  • Package levels vary by inclusions such as drinks and hotel transfers, so check what's covered before booking
  • Menu items may be adjusted for dietary needs, so it's worth confirming in advance if you have restrictions
