Na Lei Aloha

Late post --on Sept 23rd--Monday. I took my Ohana to the Luau & Dinner. It's a beautiful show again which is such a memorable evening again. My Aunty & Richmond Ohana --(Branscombe RichMond son Maru & Heimana). We had the best time & the foods is phenomenal again -- Seafood section is my favorite. They have the best Prime Ribs & Crab legs , Yummy but everything is so onolicious. We all tried the Soft serve ice-cream, the mango flavor is out of the world . The Service from the staff was also phenomenal. And the staff of NA Lei Aloha always greeting us with so much Aloha. The hostess ladies are soo nice & remembered me coming again bringing families to the show. And I love Mahiai & ofcourse all the beautiful dancers & the Musicians especially my gorgeous Niece ALAANA Seno. I'm coming again to bring my friends that are visiting from Canada to celebrate her birthday & what a way to celebrate your birthday with the best Luau & Buffet in Oahu --Waikiki--Hyatt Regency Waikiki. Much Mahalo to all the Casts & Crews for amazing memories & services.See you all on October 14th -- Monday.

Nestled right in the heart of Waikiki, you can escape the hustle and bustle of city life to enjoy an evening of hula without having to take a journey to get to it like other hula shows on the island. Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa started a new show called Na Lei Aloha. You may be familiar with the Na Lea Terrace as a wedding venue, but they transform the area for this spectacular show. You can come just for the show, but I highly recommend adding on the dinner as well. There is a buffet in the hotel called The Buffet, which is right next to Na Lea Terrace. If you pay for the dinner and show package, you arrive at 5:30 and get to eat at the buffet until 7 pm. Just note that at 5:30 it can be pretty sunny, so you'll need to battle with that for about a half hour. Even before the show begins, a guitarist and hula dancer visit each of the tables to provide entertainment for the guests. Then a small band performs for everyone until the show starts at 7 pm.I was amazed by what this cast of 12 accomplished in an hour. They went through so many costume changes! The show starts with Uncle and his nephew greeting everyone to welcome us on a journey through the islands with lots of stories to share. My favorite quote of the evening was when Uncle said "A lei is a hug that never ends." So beautifully put to encompass the love that we give to one another when giving and receiving leis. Na Lei Aloha happens Sunday - Thursday on days when there are no other events happening on the Na Lea Terrace. You get 4 hours self parking with validation. There is even a 20% discount for kamaaina and active military and dependents. This production is put on by the Council of Native Hawaiian Advancement who advocates sustaining and advancing Native Hawaiian heritage and prosperity. I was most impressed with the way the cast interacts with the audience. They come out into the crowd at various times throughout the show to offer high fives, thanks for coming and just make the audience feel like they're a part of the show, too. The cast really makes it look like they enjoy one another's company and have lots of fun putting on the show. Their silliness and joyful banter really adds to the entertainment. They even have an opportunity after the show for the audience to take pictures and interact with the cast. You don't even have to pay extra for this! They really want the audience to feel loved and appreciated for coming. Now that's aloha!

This was an amazing experience and would highly recommend!! I loved how they emphasized the Hawaiian culture and the story of Waikiki. The dancers were incredible and they put on a great show!! Everyone was so friendly and the service was quick and efficient.

Absolutely amazing little show in the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hotel, with beautiful views, smiles laughter and ambiance, it's definitely a must to see, relax have a few drinks and just enjoy

A new luau is in town located at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa!As many of us know, Hyatt is known for their amazing food. Now, imagine being on their terrace overlooking Waikiki beach, sipping on a Mai tai, indulging in their amazing seafood buffet AND enjoying a beautiful Hula show under the stars. It's a win win!The beautiful show is produced by the Kilohana group. You'll learn a little about the islands history while a live band plays beautiful arrangements for the dances. Currently, shows are Sundays through Thursdays 5pm til 8pm. You can buy tickets for just the show or with Hyatts delicious seafood & Korean buffet. HIGHLY recommend adding the dinner experience. All tickets include a welcome drink of either a Mai tai, blue Hawaii, beer, wine or POG juice. It's then a cash bar for any other drinks. Great experience for locals and visitors! Make sure to put on sunscreen and bring a sun hat if you come early for the dinner. Enjoy!

A MUST SEE HULA SHOW!!! Fabulous backdrop in the heart of Waikiki showering the audience with the most authentic hula dancing and Hawaiian music. The show was filled with so much ALOHA and true essence of our beautiful Hawaii Nei...Na Lei Aloha is a GRAND time for the whole Ohana!

Great show!! Keoki the MC is amazing!!! Love the history about leis. Musicians are top notch, very impressive!

What a stunning show! The performances are just incredible. I can't recommend this show enough for a taste of the gorgeous flower leis of Hawaii!

I've lived in Hawaii all my life. I have been to many luaus. This hula performance rates way up there. The performers were professional, beautiful dancers and really engaged with the audience. The musicians were top notch. The emcee was funny and kept the show entertaining. I could tell the other guests were really enjoying themselves.This has been a very memorable evening.

I have been to many Hawaiian resort luaus and this one is top notch! The performances were enchanting. I especially liked the royal procession - it felt like we had been invited to witness a momentous gathering. The food was truly excellent. A mix of Korean, Hawaiian, and just good food. The meat was perfectly cooked and lean - good cuts. Everything was well seasoned. I would definitely attend again if I have the chance!
