Diamond Head Luau
This luau is currently unavailable for booking on our site. For another great Oahu luau we highly recommend, check out Sea Life Park Luau.
Held at an oceanfront lawn at the Waikiki Aquarium, the Diamond Head Luau features great island-style foods and Polynesian entertainment. Upon arrival, you’ll first have the chance to walk through the aquarium and see the marine life exhibits.
Then enjoy a variety of arts & crafts and cultural presentations outside on the lawn, which overlooks Waikiki Beach. Learn how to make a flower lei or a head band, learn a Hawaiian dance, or get a temporary Polynesian tattoo.
Then sit down to a delicious Farm to Table dinner, which is followed by an exciting show featuring music and dances of Hawaii and greater Polynesia.
Luau Highlights:
- Beachfront location at Waikiki Aquarium
- Learn to make a flower lei, hula and other Hawaiian crafts
- Enjoy Polynesian song and dance
