The Royal Hawaiian Lu’au

Honoring a noble warrior, victory in war, celebrating a birth or offering praise for a bountiful harvest all served as reason for ancient Hawaiian citizens to gather, feast and dance. Today, The Royal Hawaiian Resort honors that tradition with Aha’ania, a Royal Lu’au Celebration.

Aha’ania (translated to “gathering for a meal”) is a rich journey through Hawaiian folklore and history. Set in three acts, this Lu’au is certain to educate, entertain and inspire attendees.

Act 1: A Thriving Hawaiian Community
Performed during a delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktail course. Celebrating the rich abundance of loko i’a (fishpods) and vibrant lo’I kalo (taro patches), you’ll experience a time where the ancients were masterful fishing experts with revolutionary irrigation methods.

Act 2: The Royal Feast
Performed after a traditional lei greeting. Skillfully performed by a masterfully wise storyteller, you’ll be enlightened with tales of Hawaiian customs as your palate is thrilled with waves of delectable culinary traditions.

Act 3: The Helumoa Story Unfolds
Sit back and relax as the talented performers take you on a historical Hawaiian journey. Starting with King Kamehamea and the Hawaiian royal beginnings of 1810, you’ll travel through life during the war, the Beach Boys, Hawai’i 5-0 and the incomparable Don Ho, ending with a celebration of today’s entertainment. It’s the perfect blend of history and spectacle designed to thrill your senses and delight your soul.

Aha’ania is an epicurean journey through time celebrating the rich history and culture of Hawai’i past, present and future - A certain “not to miss” event where you’ll delight in food, drink and entertainment as you learn the tradition of Waikiki and The Royal Hawaiian Resort.
