Rock-a-Hula: A Hawaiian Luau, Elvis, and Michael Jackson Experience

The luau is conveniently located on the top floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center in central Waikiki. It is adjacent to the Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort and the Royal Hawaiian, and a few minutes’ walk from the Embassy Suites, Club Wyndham, Halepuna, Outrigger Waikiki, and the Shoreline Hotel. It’s also walking distance or a short Uber/Lyft ride from all other lodgings in Waikiki/Honolulu. A diagram of the location with walking distances from nearby hotels can be seen here.

For those driving, the large Royal Hawaiian Center parking garage offers discounted parking rates with validation (comes out to about $14 for 4 hours of parking).

• In general, you can book same-day, but the cut-off time is 10-11 am.
• Unlike other websites, the only additional charge added in our checkout is 4.712% for Hawaii sales tax, and price comparisons should be of the total/final price. We are against misleading upfront pricing, hidden fees, and made-up discounts.

• Reusable dining materials: All plates, cutlery, napkins, glasses, and serving ware are reusable, significantly reducing waste compared to single-use disposable items used at some luaus and minimizing landfills contributions, while also providing a more elevated dining experience.
• Central location: It’s within walking distance of many Waikiki hotels, reducing the need for transportation and lowering pollution and emissions.
