Want to experience real Polynesian culture in Hawaii? Then you don’t want to miss out on our unforgettable Mini Luau!
At Oahi Entertainment, we change the way you think of a Hawaiian or Polynesian luau. In fact, instead of a luau, we present a revue where the dances are accompanied by not only music, but also drama and storylines!
You not only experience the beauty of Polynesia, but you also see it through the eyes of the Polynesian people and learn about each island and what truly makes them unique.
If you’re looking for the ultimate experience, just upgrade for an extra fee, and we’ll add more dancers to make your Polynesian Revue even more memorable!
