Ka Moana Luau
Immerse yourself in local Hawaiian culture during your vacation on Oahu by visiting an island luau. Ka Moana Luau is one of Oahu’s best! Taking place at the beautiful Makapu’u Meadows right next to Sea Life Park Hawaii, Ka Moana Luau features a beautiful setting, backed by sea cliffs and overlooking Manana Island on Oahu’s southeastern shore. Best of all, it’s just a half hour east of Waikiki.
Enjoy an evening of savoring a delicious buffet dinner, sip tropical cocktails, take part in a variety of cultural presentations and watch an exciting Polynesian show – all in a beautiful outdoor setting. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening in Hawaii.
