6 Performances in Waikiki That You Shouldn't Miss
The mere mention of Hawaii is enough to prompt visions of grass skirts and colorful cocktails with tiny umbrellas. While you will find some kitsch in Honolulu, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Popular Waikiki Beach has soft sands and great surf. For majestic Oahu views scramble to the top of Diamond Head – a 350-acre volcanic crater. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are worth a visit on a non-beach day.

EXCELLENT SHOW Vegas style amazing performance, talented singers and dancers! They interact with the floor seats, walking and shaking hands. Don’t do the “luau buffet” - we got 1 free drink ($10 for each drink after) and cold food, dry pork and potatoes, and salmon salad is just chopped tomato with fish juice...

The Kuhio Beach Hula Show is a must see. Performing every Tues, Thurs & Friday a local Hawaiian Culture or Hula club presents an informative and enjoyable show. Just as the sun begins to set, the Conch shell is blown and the Torch Lighting begins... the perfect setting to relax and enjoy and learn about the Hula, Hawaii and it’s Music. Seating is on the ground in a special area so if you are not ground level friendly there is plenty of room for beach chairs. Shows change regularly so we do not miss the Kuhio Hula Show every visit to Hawaii.

This entertaining Show was one of the highlights of our trip. The Benito Box meal was good value and was included in our Show price deal. The hula and fire eating dancers were energetic and the illusionist left us shaking our heads with amazement wondering how he just made that happen! He also interacted with people in the audience and had us laughing when he incorporated audience members into his magic. The Show lasts for just over an hour and I totally recommend seeing it.
4. Alohaha Show
