Route
How does the evening work?
A theater performance leads into a cast meeting before you leave the Royal Hawaiian Center.
- ·
1. Rock-A-Hula
Hula and live musicians trace changes in Hawaiian entertainment. Fire knife dancing joins the performance in the Royal Hawaiian Theater.
The stage show runs from 7:40 to 8:50 p.m. You can meet the cast until 9 p.m. The evening ends in Waikiki.
Pickup and meeting point
- Arrival: Your 7:15 p.m. arrival is at 2201 Kalakaua Avenue. The theater is in Building B on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center.
- Special requests: Check special seating requests with the team 72 hours before your visit. You can provide your booking details when you contact them.
- Your ride: The ticket doesn't include hotel transport. You'll return from the Royal Hawaiian Center on your own after the cast meeting at the theater.
- Parking: The Royal Hawaiian Center garage entrance is on Royal Hawaiian Avenue. You can get discounted parking with validation from Rock-A-Hula after arriving for your show.
Before you book
- Children aged 2 and under can attend free on an adult's lap. A separate seat isn't part of their free admission.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
The 7:15 p.m. arrival suits you if dinner is already planned before a Waikiki show. Your evening centers on live music and dance. The cast meeting follows the performance. It's a useful choice when you want fire knife dancing without arranging a trip to a luau venue outside Waikiki.
For a smaller room and close-up tricks, the Waikiki magic show costs from $99 per adult. Chief's Luau includes your buffet in a 3-hour Kapolei evening from $144 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Guests expecting dinner with their show ticket
- Travelers seeking a small theater
- Visitors needing hotel transfers included
Good to know
Know before you go
Child tickets cover ages 3 to 11. An infant aged 2 or under can attend free using an adult's lap. Your free infant place doesn't provide a separate theater seat for the performance.
A reservation holds up to 15 travelers and needs an adult. Special requests require contact 72 hours before the visit. Your mobile ticket should stay available when you reach the box office.
The garage uses a ticketless parking system. Scan the parking QR code at the box office when you check in. Validation gives you a discount, rather than making your stay in the garage free.
Outside food and drinks aren't permitted in the theater. Your show ticket has no meal included. Plan to finish dinner before coming upstairs so you don't need to bring restaurant food inside.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and admits service animals. Your seating needs belong in the advance request. The performance takes place inside the Royal Hawaiian Theater, so a passing shower doesn't turn it into an outdoor show.
Canceling at least 24 hours before your scheduled start brings a full refund for this booking. Later cancellations aren't refunded. Keep that deadline separate from the time you intend to arrive for dinner elsewhere.

Questions
People also ask

No, show admission starts from $99 per adult for general seating and a cast meeting. Dinner is a separate plan. You can see hula and fire knife dancing without buying a buffet package at the venue.
- What time does Rock-A-Hula start and finish?
The stage performance begins at 7:40 p.m. and finishes at 8:50 p.m. Your arrival time is 7:15 p.m. A cast meeting continues until 9 p.m., so that later endpoint matters when arranging your ride.
- Where is the Rock-A-Hula theater in Waikiki?
It's on the fourth floor of Building B at the Royal Hawaiian Center. The street address is 2201 Kalakaua Avenue. Your destination is the theater upstairs, so arriving at the shopping center isn't the final step.
- Does Rock-A-Hula admission include hotel transport?
No, you make your own way to the Royal Hawaiian Center. The full program runs from 7:15 to 9 p.m. Your return plans should leave room for the cast meeting if you want to stay for it.
