Kuhio Beach Torchlighting & Hula Show

Top choice in Waikiki


It all begins at the Duke Kahanamoku statue with the sounding of a conch shell and the lighting of torches after sunset. At the nearby hula mound, enjoy a truly authentic Hawaiian music and dance show. This is no bit of tourist fluff either, as top talent regularly performs, including much-lauded hula experts from the University of Hawai‘i.
