Diamond Head Luau
Now taking place at its new location at Aloha Tower in downtown Honolulu, Diamond Head Luau brings a fresh take to the traditional Hawaiian luau with an intimate six-course dinner and live Polynesian performances paired to each island-inspired course. The result is an elevated Honolulu evening with a harborfront ambience, cultural storytelling and a more personal dinner-show setting.
The Diamond Head Luau feast surrounds you with the music, dance and traditions of Polynesia. Each performance is choreographed to reflect the stories, rhythms and cultural spirit of a different island, creating a natural connection between the food on your plate and the show unfolding around you. Graceful hula, powerful drumming and thrilling fire knife dancing come together as part of one immersive journey through Polynesia.
Located just minutes from Waikiki, this Aloha Tower luau is easy to reach from Waikiki. It is a great option if you are looking for a refined dinner show close to Waikiki, with roundtrip transportation from select Waikiki-area hotels available.
