    Free and all done by volunteers to fund raise for the veterans!

    This was a cultural highlight for our trip. Try to get there early so that you can actually sit down together. We sat on the plastic turf grass and had front row viewing of the many talented dancers. The show starts around 4:00pm if I...More

    Charming show

    We didn't get in early enough for a seat so was stuck up the back on the sand and was difficult to see everything. Nice enough to see but would probably not bother again. Once is enough.

    Wonderful free show on Waikiki beach!

    If you're in Waikiki, go for this fabulous, professional hula show. It really is wonderful with a great group of dancers, musicians and singers, presenting traditional hula dancing, modern hula and Hawaiian music with full instruments. The costumes are lovely and the dancers are brilliant....More

    Beautiful free hula show. I'd say get there at least 30 min early, we went on a Tuesday and it was packed! You can see the entertainers really enjoy what they do, and it's nice to be so up close to them.

    I would suggest calling them. I believe the dates change depending on other things - but whatever you find out GET THERE EARLY! There won't be a place to sit and they will recommend 30 minutes - that's not early enough... More
