Diamond Head Luau
Diamond Head Luau will only be available until
the end of June 2024. It will then temporarily close due to a
construction project. Taking place on an oceanfront lawn at the Waikiki Aquarium, the Diamond Head Luau is conveniently located within walking distance of Waikiki Beach and hotels. Experience a traditional Hawaiian luau, a memorable evening filled with island arts & crafts, cultural presentations, a delicious luau dinner and a show featuring the music and dances of Hawaii and greater Polynesia.
