Pa'ina Waikiki - Luau at the Waikiki Beach Marriott
Experience a traditional Hawaiian luau in the heart of Waikiki at the Waikiki Beach Marriott. What makes this luau special is the hula dance presentations, which include hula kahiko (ancient hula), telling the stories of the Hawaiian royals and their elegant homes that once called these very grounds and Waikiki home. Among them was Hawaii's last reigning monarch - the beloved Queen Lili'uokalani – who spent much of her time right here, where she had two summer homes.
Produced by Tihati Productions, Hawaii's longest running entertainment company, Pa'ina Waikiki features award-winning Polynesian musicians, dancers and artists, including world fireknife champions, as well as adorable keiki (child) performers.
