If you are looking for a luau on Oahu, you have a new option. The Hilton Hawaiian has just added a luaus on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. It’s called Waikiki Luau on the Lagoon.
Setting this lu‘au apart from others in Hawai‘i is the breathtaking backdrop of the
lagoon, providing the perfect site for the lu‘au’s signature lagoon procession in which Hawaiian fishermen arrive aboard a canoe signaling the official start of the lu‘au. Following their arrival, the fishermen then teach guests to do the “hukilau” dance – a traditional song and dance that talks about fishermen and their catch.
The luau begins at 5:15 and includes a night of music, classic luau buffet, and Polynesian dancing. A lei greeting, mai tai and soft drink are included in the price. The cost is $95 for adults and $45 for children between the ages of 6 and 12. To purchase tickets, or for more information, call the hotel at (808) 949-4321 and ask for extension 77709. If you’ll be driving to Waikiki Beach, validated parking is available at the Hilton for $8 for self-parking, or $13 for valet.

The new Waikiki Starlight Luau at Hilton Hawaiian village replaced the one that started last year. It opened last month.
