Overview

Experience a spectacular night of Hawaiian entertainment at Rock-A-Hula, located in the heart of Waikiki at the Royal Hawaiian Center.

The show takes place in the 750-seat Royal Hawaiian Theater, featuring state-of-the-art sound, dynamic lighting, multimedia effects, and elevated theater-style seating for an immersive experience. Conveniently located within walking distance of most major Waikiki hotels, Rock-A-Hula offers Show Only or a complete evening with Luau & Show packages, including Original, VIP, and Green Room experiences.
