Description

Experience the powerful rhythm of the drums under the stars at Kaula Luau, all while enjoying a traditional feast in an atmosphere that is both grand and deeply personal.

The show weaves Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Samoan dance and music, accented with acrobatics and the crowd-favorite fire-knife dance. As a guest, you’re part of the show, too, with interactive cultural activities and friendly competitions.

Set at Ocean’s Edge in Ko Olina, where the nightly sunset nearly steals the show, it’s a breathtaking, multi-sensory journey that showcases the best of Polynesian culture.

Kaula Luau is not just a show, it’s an invitation to connect. Kaula means the binding cord — the invisible thread that connects us to our ancestors, our stories, and the places we call home. At Kaula Luau, that thread comes alive through music, movement, and the timeless traditions of the Pacific.

At the heart of Kaula is a story shared between kupuna (grandmother) and her granddaughter. Together, they embark on a voyage of discovery — traversing oceans and generations to uncover their family’s genealogy from Tahiti, Samoa, and Hawaiʻi. This isn’t just a performance; it’s a celebration of who we are and where we come from, told through the eyes of those who carry these stories in their hearts.

Guided by kupuna’s wisdom, the young wahine’s journey unfolds in mele (song), oli (chant), and hula — each movement and lyric anchoring her to place, ancestry, and identity. Through this shared experience, the audience is reminded that our own kaula stretches across time, bound by memory, practice, and aloha.

Kaula Luau blends traditional cultural expression with state-of-the-art lighting, projection, and stagecraft — creating an atmosphere that’s both reverent and breathtaking. Rather than a series of disconnected performances, the show is crafted as a single narrative journey that:

- Brings Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Samoan cultural threads together in a respectful, interconnected way, reflecting deep ancestral ties across the Pacific.
- Uses theatrical storytelling to elevate each moment — from intimate mele to dynamic ensemble movement — in a way that resonates with both local audiences and visitors.
- Invites guests to feel the story as much as watch it, fostering a deeper connection with Hawaiʻi’s cultural landscape.

Dining and drinks feature fresh, island-sourced ingredients from local favorite Moani and paired with handcrafted cocktails from Island Distillers.

Good to know before you go
  • The show is set outdoors at Ocean’s Edge in Ko Olina, and will happen rain or shine,
  • Proceeds support Hawaiian Council's housing, education, workforce development, and cultural perpetuation across Hawaiʻi.
