VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show
A fresh orchid lei, a premium beverage, and seating closer to the stage — the upgrade that turns a great evening into a memorable one.
The VIP upgrade transforms a great evening into a truly memorable one. Upon arrival, you'll receive a fresh orchid lei as a symbol of Hawaiian welcome, and your premium beverage ensures the celebration starts the moment you walk in. Inside the Royal Hawaiian Theater, VIP seating places you closer to the action, giving you an enhanced view of the hula and fire knife performances, and every musical moment in the show — ideal for anniversaries, special occasions, or anyone who wants a little more aloha on their night out in Waikiki.

A Little More Aloha, Without the Full Commitment
The VIP tier adds meaningful touches to your Waikiki evening without requiring the full Green Room experience. A fresh orchid lei greeting, a premium beverage, and seating that puts you closer to the fire knife dancers and live band all combine to make the night feel more special from the moment you arrive at the outdoor pavilion.
This is a popular choice for couples celebrating anniversaries, groups marking a milestone, or anyone visiting Oahu who simply wants a little extra polish on their luau night — all while still enjoying the same island buffet and Rock-A-Hula show that make this Waikiki's most celebrated dinner show.
