As the stars begin to twinkle, the stage will come alive with the best Oahu luau dinner show, and watch as fire-knife dancers literally ignite the stage, hula dancers take you on a journey through Hawaiian history, and warriors recreate famous battles. This unique and interactive experience is not found elsewhere on the island, so book now for an Oahu luau that combines the best of history and modernity in one evening!
Why do tourists choose this tour?
The Mauka Warriors Luau stands apart from other events on the island by offering a truly distinctive and interactive experience through performances that tell the legendary tale of King Kamehameha and the historic Battle of Kipapa so you can get a glimpse into Hawaii's ancient past and the remarkable achievements of its heroes.Guests can try out a variety of different hands-on activities before the dinner and luau show. Depending on which cultural practitioners are available, activities can include getting a temporary Polynesian tattoo, learning to cook Polynesian food, testing your skills with Maori games, hula dance class, and kava tasting.
Walk in the footsteps of history with a luau that is held on the sacred grounds of an ancient Hawaiian battle with performers who will recreate the epic battles and tell the legends of the historic kings and warriors.
The luau feast features a variety of dishes for all tastes and there are pork, chicken, and fish options, as well as vegan and vegetarian dishes that can be made with prior notice.
Even though this luau embraces the ancient traditions and customs of Polynesia, you will also have a modern experience where you can receive complimentary professional photos directly to your phone.
The Mauka Warriors Luau is locally owned and operated by members of the Polynesian community and the US military, and if anyone in your party is active duty, retired, or a veteran of the U.S. armed forces, they'll be honored with a special shout out and gift during the luau!

Local expert tips
- This activity books up quickly, and we highly suggest booking 1-2 weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like summer and spring break.
- The Royal Package seating is directly in front of the stage, which will allow you amazing views of the performances.
- Recommend attire: Resort casual or Aloha wear. A light jacket or sweater is highly recommended since it can become chilly once the sun has set. Flat shoes are a better option than high heeled shoes since the grounds are uneven with grass.
- Take the opportunity to try some mini-golf during the pre-luau activities.
Pre-show demonstrations
Prior to the luau show and dinner, guests are warmly welcomed to experience an array of fun pre-show cultural activities.- Learn about island cooking with an authentic umu above ground oven
- Hula dance classes
- Get a temporary Polynesian tattoo
- Try authentic Maori games
- Experience a kava tasting ceremony
How to get there?
The Mauka Warriors Luau is located within the Hawaii Country Club, approximately 25 miles from Waikiki. Travel time is typically 45 minutes depending on traffic, and if you are driving from the Honolulu and Waikiki area, leave earlier than what is recommended by GPS apps as traffic going westbound can become rather congested. Parking is free for all guests.For those staying in the Waikiki area, we strongly recommend opting for the provided transportation service. With numerous convenient pick-up locations throughout Waikiki, you can effortlessly avoid navigating through traffic or worrying about the late-night drive back to your hotel.

Once you enter the luau grounds make your way to the various activity stations where you can take a hula lesson, get a temporary Polynesian tattoo, learn about island cooking, experience a kava ceremony, and try your hand at Maori games. Great photo opportunities and a way to learn about Hawaii!
Learn the basics of hula and a quick dance during this fun-filled lesson. Hula is an iconic Hawaiian tradition steeped in history, and not only is it a beautiful dance form, but it is also a way to tell stories and legends. You will have a great time as everyone stands up (or stay seated) to hula!
Get ready for an interactive Polynesian cooking demonstration and watch as cultural practitioners share their unique cooking techniques as you get an up-close look at their imu, or Hawaiian underground oven. Created with lava rocks and ti leaves, this cooking technique is still popular to this day!
Head over to the buffet and treat yourself to a wide selection of local island delicacies. Load up your plate with mouthwatering options like authentic poi (mashed taro root) and lomi lomi salmon, alongside the crowd-pleasing kalua pig (Hawaiian-style pulled pork) and tasty pineapple BBQ chicken.
