Diamond Head Luau
Held on the foothills of Diamond Head at the Waikiki Aquarium, Diamond Head Luau is conveniently located within walking distance of Waikiki hotels. What makes this luau unique is that you'll get the chance to walk through the Waikiki Aquarium prior to the start of the evening's festivities. See a variety of fascinating marine life exhibits and learn about Hawaii's endemic fish.
Outside on the beachfront lawn, you can take part in a variety of cultural activities, arts & crafts and dancing. Learn how to make a flower lei or head band or get a Polynesian tattoo (no worries, it's temporary and can be washed off). The activities are followed by a delicious Farm to Table dinner featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients. After dinner, sit back and enjoy traditional songs and dances of Hawaii and other Polynesian island nations.
