Where the magic of Disney meets authentic Hawaiian culture.
We’re more than thrilled — Disney selected Germaine’s Luau as the filming location for the highly anticipated live-action Lilo & Stitch movie.
We are beyond proud that our iconic beachfront venue was chosen to bring this beloved story to life. For those who have experienced our luau, you’ll instantly recognize the setting in the film. It’s a heartwarming, beautifully made movie that captures the spirit of ʻohana and the culture we celebrate every night.
Come experience the venue Disney picked for Lilo & Stitch — now you can too! Whether you’ve been here before or are planning your next Hawaii trip, you’ll be stepping into movie magic.
Mahalo for your continued support of Germaine’s Luau — where the spirit of aloha meets the silver screen.
HONOLULU’S ULTIMATE LUAU EXPERIENCE
Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Pacific Islands! Enjoy an awe-inspiring Polynesian show by the ocean, under the stars and palm trees. Experience enchanting traditions of ancient Hawaii and embrace the “Aloha spirit” at our backyard-style Hawaiian luau. It’s a captivating experience you won’t want to miss!
From the moment you receive a traditional lei greeting upon arrival, to the final “aloha” farewell, you’ll feel like part of our family (Ohana). Indulge in Hawaiian-American cuisine, witness the essence of Hawaii through Polynesian culture, and watch your children (Keiki), delight in the lively Samoan dances and fresh pineapple at the buffet. And, of course, no luau is complete without the graceful hula dance, a quintessential part of the Hawaiian cultural experience.
This rich cultural experience is like no other in the world and will truly complete your Hawaiian experience!
Pre-Luau Cultural Activities:
Arrive early and participate in hands-on cultural activities before the Luau begins:
• Fresh Floral Hairpiece or Kupe’e Making: Craft a beautiful accessory for your wrist, ankle, or hair.
• Polynesian Tattooing (Moko) Art: Get a body or facial design drawn, inspired by traditional Polynesian motifs.
Imu:
The Imu, a traditional pit oven used in ancient Hawaii, was prepared earlier with kiawe wood (mesquite), lava rocks, and riverbed stones, which were heated by a large bonfire. In our Imu Ceremony, our attendants will unveil a cooked Hawaiian steamed pig from the Imu.

The Luau was awesome. Wonderful location, and one of the most beautiful sunsets we saw on our trip. My oldest teen thought our driver Larry was the best part of the tour as he shared jokes all the way there and back. Food and show were excellent.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and the scenery was so beautiful -- right on the ocean at sunset! The hostess was just amazing, and we all had a wonderful time.
