Kaula Lū‘au Brings Authentic Polynesian Storytelling to O‘ahu

Kaula Lū‘au

A New Era of Cultural Lū‘au Experiences in Ko Olina

Opening 27 February at Ocean’s Edge, Kaula Lū‘au introduces a fresh and intimate interpretation of the traditional Hawaiian evening celebration. Set along the scenic coastline of Ko Olina, this new cultural production moves beyond spectacle to deliver a narrative-led experience shaped by Native Hawaiian creatives.

Designed to immerse guests in authentic storytelling, the evening centres on the journey of Mahina, told through hula, chant and live music. By placing cultural voices and heritage at the heart of the performance, Kaula Lū‘au offers visitors a deeper connection to Hawaiian traditions and identity.

A Story Brought to Life Through Hula, Chant and Music

The performance unfolds as a living story, combining traditional hula movements, poetic chant and evocative live music. Each element works together to convey history, ancestry and spiritual connection, creating a performance that is both visually captivating and culturally meaningful.

Under the stars, the steady rhythm of drums builds an atmosphere that is powerful and immersive, while the oceanfront setting enhances the sense of place and cultural authenticity. 

A Celebration of Polynesian Culture and Performance

Kaula Lū‘au celebrates the broader cultures of Polynesia through a vibrant showcase of Hawaiian, Tahitian and Samoan dance traditions. Energetic choreography, acrobatics and the thrilling fire-knife dance add dramatic flair, while maintaining respect for cultural heritage.

The production balances spectacle with storytelling, offering a multi-sensory journey that reflects the diversity and vitality of Polynesian culture.
