The Paina Waikiki Luau (Online Reservation) Honolulu is an authentic cultural celebration that captures the spirit of Hawaii. Set against Oahu's stunning shoreline at 2552 Kalakaua Avenue, this award-winning 3-hour evening brings traditional Polynesian heritage to life.
Your evening starts with a warm lei greeting and welcome mai tai. The cultural performances feature skilled hula and fire dancers moving to the rhythms of Polynesian drums. The artists share Hawaii's history through songs and dances that have been passed down through generations.
The hands-on activities include learning the art of kui lei using locally sourced flowers, and experiencing temporary Polynesian tattoos that connect you to the historical significance of tatau in island culture. The fire knife finale showcases performers spinning blazing knives in this traditional Samoan dance.
The Hawaiian luau buffet and sliced prime rib delivers authentic island flavors, while the "Ori Ori Tatou E" audience participation segments invite everyone to join the hula dancing. Meet the cast afterward for photos and stories.
