Waikiki Luau At Rock-A-Hula Cabana

Your luau evening

120–180 min

Right in the heart of Waikiki, this relaxed luau makes it easy to enjoy Hawaiian music, hula and island flavors without giving up your whole evening. The central location is within walking distance of major Waikiki hotels, making it a convenient choice for families, couples and anyone who would rather leave the car behind.

The experience is shorter than a traditional luau, but still packs in plenty of island atmosphere. Guests are welcomed with hula and a mai tai before the buffet opens, while live Hawaiian music and dancers keep the evening lively from start to finish.

Dinner includes carving stations, island-style favorites, a whole fresh pineapple served family style and a dessert and ice cream bar. There is also a fun hula lesson, giving guests a chance to join in and enjoy a little more of the spirit of Hawaii before the evening wraps up.
