Ka Moana Luau at Aloha Tower
- 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes (approx.)
Overview
Ka Moana Luau takes guests on a voyage across Ka Moana, the ocean, to the islands of Polynesia. The luau is held at the historic Aloha Tower on Honolulu Harbor, a short drive from Waikiki. Before the show, join hands-on cultural activities such as lei making, hula lessons and headband weaving, and watch demonstrations like coconut tree climbing. Dinner is an all-you-can-eat, farm-to-table buffet of island favorites, including organic kalua pork, lomi lomi salmon, poi, shoyu chicken, macadamia-nut mahi mahi and fresh-baked rolls with guava butter. The show then travels the Pacific through chants, dances and live music: Hawaiian hula ʻauana, fast-paced Tahitian ʻōteʻa, a haka and Samoan fire-knife dancing. Choose the Celebrity (premiere seating), Splash (mid-level seating) or Classic package; each sets your seating section, lei and drinks.
