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. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Starts 17:30, 18:00: 2 departures a day - Food not included: Dinner, not included with the Cocktail… - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €113 per person for the Cocktail Only Ticket option; other options up to €265 - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.88/5 from 284 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Nā Lei Aloha Dinner Show - Group: Shared tour - Start times: 17:30, 18:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.88 from 284 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 278 of 284. - 5 stars: 261 (92%) - 4 stars: 17 (6%) - 3 stars: 3 (1%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 3 (1%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Cocktail Only Ticket | €113 / person | - | Outer-Ring Seating: Reserved seating in the outer ring. 1 Welcome Drink: One welcome drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
