Rock-A-Hula Hawaii
About
A Night of Legends and Leis in the Heart of Waikiki
Stepping into the Royal Hawaiian Center, you are immediately met with the high-energy pulse of Waikiki’s most dynamic stage show. Rock-A-Hula Hawaii strips away the traditional, quiet luau formality, opting instead for a full-scale concert production that pays homage to the evolution of island music. From the second you enter, the scent of fresh plumeria garlands mixes with the savory, smoky aroma of Hawaiian-style roasted pig being prepped for the buffet.
An Electrifying Tribute to Island Icons
The performance space is massive, designed to bring you face-to-face with legendary tributes. You might catch a spot-on Elvis Presley impersonator commanding the stage or graceful hula dancers moving to intricate fire-knife rhythms. The sound system is loud—really loud—filling the theater with bass that you feel in your chest as much as you hear it. It is the ideal spot for families or groups looking for a high-octane evening that balances dinner and a show without needing to travel to the North Shore.
Know Before You Go
Because the theater occupies prime real estate in Honolulu’s busiest shopping district, the energy is frantic in the best way possible. Expect a crowd; this isn't a secluded beachside dining experience, but a theatrical spectacle. Grab a craft cocktail from the bar early, as the transition from dining to the main performance happens quickly. While the parking garage under the center can get tight as showtime approaches, the convenience of being centrally located to all the major beach resorts makes it a seamless night out for those staying nearby.

A completely different type of luau in a good way! Very good dinner and entertainment. The food was standard luau fare. The hula dancers and ukulele player were great tableware entertainment. The service was good. The buffet line was efficient and it's all you can eat with a dessert bar. The show was 10/10 entertaining! The two main singers, Azalia and Mya were awesome- very talented. They did a great job throughout the entire show. Beautiful costume changes. The live band was awesome and did a fantastic job. The hula dancers were also great- again beautiful hula outfits. Elvis can really sing and put on a great show. Michael was great and interacted so well with the crowd, excellent performance! All around talented performers. The fire performer was truly spectacular!! He was awesome and truly put on a great show! My two teenagers who were skeptical (not their generation's music lol) had an awesome time and loved the show. Pure entertainment! Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this luau party. First the food completed by that crispy whole roasted Pig, and my favorite was the panacotta, tha maitai was great too. The servers on the buffet at the steak section was very accomodating. The luau entertainers gave that hawaiian atmosphere perfect while savoring the sumptuous dinner. The rock a hula show was awesome, comfortable in my seat i had a good view of the stage it was a good production but my favorote would be elvis, the fire dance, the hawaii five-o production number, the tahitian and the guy that sang somewhere over the rainbow w the gourd drum was excellent to me. Overall it was night all worth it to be my last dinner as i was leaving the next morning. I just wish they would also greet everyone and welcome with a lei even just a shell lei or just any lei will do for that hawaiian hospitality vibe..only the VIPs get to have lei well because they paid much more. Since i knew about this...i brought mine which is nothing fancy lol. But happy i brought mine.😃
