The rich cultural and natural beauty of Waikīkī is highlighted in songs and dances of the life-giving streams that still flow into the heart of Waikīkī today, and the tender stories of Hawaiiʻs beloved monarchs, their love for their people and this famed place. Meet our kamaʻāina, our local islanders who will share with you some of the hana noʻeau (cultural arts) they grew up with here in Waikīkī. Kui lei – string a floral adornment perfect to wear for the evening’s festivities. Tatau Pasefika – tattoos can be found all throughout Polynesia. Learn about its significance and perhaps brave a temporary tattoo for the Pāʻina. And hula of course… Pāʻina Waikīkī is full of music and hula and so we invite everyone to join in.

Created for tourists. Food was good. Fish overcooked. Rain stopped the show several times. Excellent wait staff.

Overpriced. Packed in like cattle in a small outside venue. Seating for a view of the show was limited.

Wonderful reception, service, the performers were amazing and food was plentiful. I’ve been to several and I liked how this one was more intimate. Very well done.

Go there for easy Wikiki access and a decent show but don’t go for food. It’s over priced and it’s inside a hotel so no views.
Operated by Paina Luau Waikiki - Honolulu, Oahu
