Visit: Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, 2552 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815, USA
The rich cultural and natural beauty of Waikīkī is highlighted in songs and dances of the life-giving streams that still flow into the heart of Waikīkī today, and the tender stories of Hawaiiʻs beloved monarchs, their love for their people and this famed place.
Meet our kamaʻāina, our local islanders who will share with you some of the hana noʻeau (cultural arts) they grew up with here in Waikīkī. Kui lei – string a floral adornment perfect to wear for the evening’s festivities. Tatau Pasefika – tattoos can be found all throughout Polynesia. Learn about its significance and perhaps brave a temporary tattoo for the Pāʻina. And hula of course… Pāʻina Waikīkī is full of music and hula and so we invite everyone to join in.

Beautiful, romantic evening! Thank you so much! We would definitely go back. This by far was one of the most cultural experiences.

Exactly what you’d hope for from a luau… excellent food, excellent entertainment, perfect atmosphere.
Don’t forget to try a lavas slide drink. To cap off the festivities!

We were offered a luau at the Marriott Waikiki Beach resort at a discounted rate. We took advantage of the offer and we are glad did. We have been to many luaus over the years, but this is our first since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many things have changed since then, and this luau is a sample of things that have changed. Not that it was bad, I believe that just the lavishness of entertainment productions and food have diminished.
If I had to rate the luaus we have attended it is the Maui productions at the Hilton wailea, the lahina luau, the Polynesian cultural center and the luan here at the Marriott Waikiki Beach resort as the best.
The food was delicious, but offerings of dishes limited per post pandemic standards. Drinks were free flowing and included options of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I would like to have seen more protein offerings, maybe teriyaki chicken or Hawaiian short ribs, but everything about the food was great.
The entertainment included Hulu dancers, and dances from specific islands, Tahiti, Tonga Samoa etc. the highlight of the entertainment was the Samoan fre dancers.
In all one of the best we have attended.

The Laua was fantastic and of course waking up to such a beautiful view. Had plenty to do and see. The rooms I felt was dated but clean. Great customer service.

We spent two glorious weeks on Oahu. Having visited the island many times before we did not need to attend any of the usual activities. We enjoyed spending time by and in the ocean, along with excellent food and drinks relaxing on the beach 🏖️.

The Hula Dancers, The Fire 🔥 Dancers, the young children's participation brought out the Hawaiian Culture. The show Absolutely mesmerizing from beginning to end. The Joy in All the participants made it 'special'. The Food Delicious topped off with a wide-assortment of drinks to activate your taste buds. The story telling absolutely brilliant and the musicians in the background setting the tone for an Enjoyable Evening!!!!!
