Pa’ina Waikiki – Luau at the Waikiki Beach Marriott

Step into a more intimate side of Waikiki at Pa’ina Waikiki, where Hawaiian history, hula and storytelling come together at the Waikiki Beach Marriott. This dinner party luau looks back at the royalty, gracious homes and memorable eras that once shaped this famous shoreline.

A special hula tribute honors Queen Lili’uokalani, Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, who spent time in Waikiki at her summer residences. Through hula kahiko, or ancient hula, performers share stories of Hawaiian royalty and the elegant homes that once stood nearby, adding a meaningful sense of place to the evening.

The celebration then reaches across Polynesia with music, dance and high-energy performances produced by Tihati Productions. Award-winning musicians, dancers and artists take the stage, joined by world fireknife champions and talented keiki performers who bring a warm, joyful spirit to the show.

Your evening also includes a Hawaiian lei greeting, a welcome mai tai, cultural demonstrations and a generous luau buffet. Guests are invited to join in during the Ori Ori Tatou E audience participation segment before the night builds to an exciting fireknife finale.
