Overview

Spend a magical evening enriched by Hawaii’s vibrant culture, history, food, and dance.

Formerly held at Sea Life Park, the Ka Moana Luau in 2023 is now conveniently located just outside Waikiki at the oceanfront grounds of the historic Aloha Tower lighthouse. Unlike other Waikiki luaus, it's in a private outdoor space that will allow for an immersive experience without the distraction of bustling Waikiki vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a lei, a Mai Tai cocktail, a professional photo session (extra). You can then stroll the grounds as the sun sets and visit the multiple cultural activity stations, which may include making coconut leave headbands, flower wrist bands, and temporary Polynesian tattoos, as well as learning to play Hawaiian drums and other traditional instruments.

An abundant dinner, prepared by the esteemed Chart House in the style of farm-to-table, showcases a variety of island foods, including local fish, juicy kalua pork cooked all day in an underground hot stone stove, and tropical desserts. Indulge in the bar that includes specialty tropical cocktails, local craft beer, well drinks, and soda.

Performances during the show portion will take you on a journey through Hawaii and broader Polynesia, both past and present. Highlights include an exciting Maori war dance, graceful hula dancing, and climactic fire dance, with humorous commentary and audience participation sprinkled throughout. You’ll not only be entertained, but also depart with lasting memories and a newfound appreciation for Hawaii.

WHY WE RECOMMEND THIS LUAU OVER OTHERS

  • Oceanfront outdoor setting, whereas other Waikiki luau locations include an indoor hotel ballroom and a rooftop garage adjacent to noisy streets
  • A more intimate setting versus other luaus which often hold 500-1200+ people
  • Catered by Honolulu's oldest restaurant Chart House, versus generic resort / mass-event food found at many other luaus
  • For those staying in Waikiki, centrally located in Honolulu just 3 miles outside Waikiki rather than heading to a Ko Olina / west coast luau (e.g., Paradise Cove, Germaine's, Chief's) which can be about 1 hour each way with traffic, and even more time saved versus the Polynesian Cultural Center (1-1.5 hours each way). Convenient coach bus transport available (enjoy the luau bar!).
  • Alcohol served (unlike alcohol-free Polynesian Cultural Center)
  • Table service option with VIP Package

Guidebook Reviews

Oahu Revealed guidebook:

Entertaining show with lots of dancing. The luau feels less processed than most of the others.

Fodor's guidebook:

Food Caterer - Chart House: Fodor's Choice. Waikiki landmark opened in 1969 by surfing legend Joey Cabell. The extensive menu maintains the midcentury notion of fine dining.
