Settle into reserved seating for an evening of traditional Polynesian performance and island cuisine in Honolulu. You’ll enjoy two hours and fifteen minutes of authentic cultural entertainment paired with local flavors, all designed around genuine Hawaiian hospitality rather than flash or formality. This is luau dining at its most approachable—comfort and authenticity without the premium price tag.
Guests begin their evening at Ka Moana Luau with a traditional shell lei greeting before immersing themselves in Hawaiian and Polynesian culture through hands-on activities. Before the main performance, visitors can try their hand at lei making, learn the graceful movements of hula, weave coconut-leaf headbands, take ukulele lessons, and watch demonstrations of coconut tree climbing and traditional fire making. This interactive portion allows guests to connect with island traditions while the sun begins to set over Oahu.
The evening continues with an island-inspired buffet dinner featuring traditional Hawaiian dishes including Kalua pork, lomi lomi salmon, poi, shoyu chicken, and a daily special fish, accompanied by fresh-cut fruit, Hawaiian sweet rolls, and steamed white rice. As dinner concludes, the award-winning main show begins, taking the audience on a voyage across Ka Moana—the ocean—through world-class performances that celebrate the vibrant traditions of Hawaii and Polynesia. The production opens and closes with dramatic fire performances, culminating in a thrilling Polynesian sword of fire finale. Following the show, guests have the opportunity to meet the cast members who brought these cultural stories to life.
