Description
Held on the oceanfront Pāʻina Terrace of the Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort, the Pāʻina Waikīkī Lūʻau is a celebration of Hawaiʻi’s most iconic stories and sounds. Guests are greeted with a welcoming Mai Tai and invited to explore interactive cultural activities, from lei-making to temporary Polynesian tattoos. Dinner features a gourmet buffet with fresh island salads, huli huli chicken, seared island fish, and 12-hour roasted prime rib — all enjoyed beneath the glow of tiki torches and Pacific sunsets. As night falls, the stage comes alive with Tihati Productions’ world-class dancers and musicians in a breathtaking journey across Polynesia, from the royal courts of old Hawaiʻi to the rhythm of modern Waikīkī. Whether you choose Show Only, General, or VIP seating (with premium cocktails and stage proximity), this lūʻau captures the warmth, artistry, and flavor that define Honolulu’s aloha spirit.
