Description
Nā Lei Aloha Lūʻau and Hula Show is the lūʻau that gives back. Operated by a local non-profit, this intimate rooftop lūʻau is a heartfelt and authentic celebration of Hawaiian music, hula, and aloha. Rooted in cultural purpose, the show weaves together mele (song), hula, and cuisine to unveil the rich cultural history of lei making in Hawaiʻi. Each lei represents love, connection, and cherished memories—honoring our islands and the bonds between people.
From the moment you arrive, you're immersed in the spirit of aloha. Enjoy live music and a lei greeting as our warm and welcoming hostesses guide you to your seats. You’ll be served your choice of handcrafted cocktails—alcoholic or non-alcoholic—delivered right to your table.
Dinner & Show guests begin their evening with exclusive access to cultural activities and demonstrations, including lei-making and hula. As you dine, enjoy Hawaiian music and meet roaming performers who offer an up-close connection to the traditions being honored. Then, feast on a buffet that elevates the standard lūʻau experience, featuring Hawaiian classics like kālua pork, poke, lomi salmon, poi, and haupia alongside elevated options like prime rib, snow crab legs, and freshly shucked oysters.
Prefer to skip the buffet? The Cocktail Show Only package is a great value. Arrive later, enjoy a welcome cocktail, and experience a hula demonstration before the show begins.
As the sun sets over the Pacific across the street, the action heats up, as our rooftop terrace transforms into a stage for an authentic hula performance. Told through both ancient tradition and contemporary hula, the show shares the story of lei in Hawaiian culture—its origins, meanings, and the love it carries.
By the final ovation, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of hula, lei, and the living culture of Hawaiʻi. Best of all, your ticket directly supports the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Hawaiian culture and uplifting the Hawaiian community.
