Tour Description
Grab your ohana (family) by the hand and walk down the beach to the Waikiki Aquarium in the foothills of Diamond Head for a special evening of food, music, and Hawaiian Culture! At a maximum of 350 Guests, Diamond Head Luau is proud to be Oahu’s most exclusive luau, focusing on quality and customer interaction instead of a massive crowd. Enjoy a lei greeting, Mai Tai cocktails, hula lessons, basket weaving, lei making, Hawaiian tattoo and more before feasting on great tasting traditional and contemporary Hawaiian food.
Right as you’re starting to smell the Plumeria and realize that life can’t really get much better, the show begins and takes you on a fun journey through Polynesian Culture and Expression. The Diamond Head family looks forward to welcoming you and your family into their Hale (home), and sharing together an exciting evening on the oceanfront of Waikiki Beach!
Diamond Head Luau is so great for families because of the focus is on interactive, cultural activities like: hula lessons, lei making, weaving, ukulele lessons, tattoo, and more. It is this direct interaction with the culture that we find creates the best memories to complement the savory food and upbeat entertainment. Tropical and classic cocktails, as well as virgin blended drinks are also available at the Diamond Head Luau. Book ahead, as they sell out very quickly!
Testimonials
“First off, this was my first time going to a luau and I couldn’t give a better review for this experience! Our VIP tickets came with 2 free drink tickets and a seat very close to the stage. The food and entertainment was absolutely marvelous and the waiters and host were so warm and friendly with the Aloha spirit. The dancers were so professional and was captivating all night.”
“We had a perfect night. Staff were friendly. The first part of the evening you could visit the aquarium and they had demonstrations of various island activities (lei making, music, face painting etc). Dinner was tasty and filling!! The dancers were incredible; they truly seemed to be having fun (not just a job!) You could feel their energy. I would certainly go again!”
“My husband and I enjoyed the wonderful luau experience from the time we walked in and received the lei and mai tai. When we sat down the offering of drinks was great. I enjoyed being served food instead of having to get up to go to the buffet. The front row seats to the entertainment was good but we were far from the fire throwers to see. In all, we enjoyed the experience.”
“The food and the show were fabulous! My 21 year old son was chosen to go on stage and dance and that was so fun! Got a great video of that! The whole evening was perfect! Plan to get there early because we had a lot of trouble trying to find a parking space. Beautiful evening.”
“The staff is so helpful and friendly… Excellent service from the courteous people who assisted us patiently on the line to the Luau’s entertaining crew plus the great guy (Klen?) who serves us our food and drinks… The rain did not stop the show for they have giant canopies to shield us from it… The band is good and the fire dances were amazing especially done by two young boys in 9 and 11 years old! The place is right in Waikiki too. “
“From the time we checked in until it was over…nothing but a fantastic time. out waiter Brent was always taking care of whatever we needed. The staff and performers were friendly and attentive to guest…a must do while in Hawaii…highly recommended. Aloha.”
“This was a very fun evening in Waikiki. We loved the aquarium, the great food (there was LOTS of it), the drinks, the activities, and the performances. A great option for a fun evening activity”
