About Aloha Kai Luau

Sea Life Park 3.5 hours

Set beside the ocean at Sea Life Park, Aloha Kai Luau gives you a lively Oahu evening with coastal views, cultural traditions and plenty happening before the show even begins. Your night starts with a lei greeting and hands-on activities, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the setting before dinner is served.

The luau is located about 15 miles east of Waikiki, with transportation available from select Waikiki hotels. Dinner is an all-you-can-eat Hawaiian buffet with island favorites, along with vegetarian and vegan choices. Afterward, the evening shifts to music, hula and Polynesian performances inspired by Hawaii, the ocean and cultures from across the Pacific.

As the night builds, the show becomes more energetic, leading into a fire-knife finale against Oahu's southeastern coastline. It is an easy way to combine dinner, culture and entertainment in one evening without needing to plan several separate stops.
