Overview

Kaula is a story-based luau, put on by Hawaiian Council to tell authentic Hawaiian stories. With a focus on fun and entertainment, you're part of the show from the moment you arrive until the last high energy note fades and the sound of the ocean takes back the night.

It may be Hawaii's story, but we built the experience around you. The unique eat-when-you-want format allows you to skip long buffet lines, and eat when you're ready. The interactive activities are also unlike any others: wandering performers, friendly competitions, cultural lessons, and (voluntary) singalongs combine to make sure you leave with a smile and a generous serving of aloha.

Together, they embark on a voyage of discovery — traversing oceans and generations to uncover their family’s genealogy from Tahiti, Samoa, and Hawaiʻi. This isn’t just a performance; it’s a celebration of who we are and where we come from, told through the eyes of those who carry these stories in their hearts.Where we come from features in our menu, too, if you choose a ticket which includes dinner. Featuring locally sourced ingredients and authentic family recipes, the delicious all-you-can-eat dinner is served from our food truck pod. Even our cocktails feature locally sourced spirits and ingredients.You won't get bored at Kaula, either -- we offer a variety of cultural and fun activities for all, from lei making and hula lessons to weaving and trivia competitions, and your night closes out with a dance party to end on a literal high note.
