Embark on a journey through the songs, stories and traditions of Hawaiʻi with ʻAuana by Cirque du Soleil. This spectacular live show in Waikiki draws inspiration from the heroes and luminaries of Hawaiian folklore, bringing their stories to life through heart-racing performances, music and dance. From the mischievous Maui who pulls the islands from the ocean floor, to the legendary Surfriders dancing upon the waves, to the Golden Age of tourists drawn to Hawaiʻi’s pristine beaches, ʻAuana explores the legacies, stories and natural landscapes that have shaped the islands through the vibrant eyes of Cirque du Soleil. This production marks a turning point for island entertainment, bringing together international and local talents to shine a fresh light on the beauty and mystique of Hawaiʻi. With each act, story, laugh and gasp, ʻAuana transcends tradition to create a profoundly unique experience. See this extraordinary show at the OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel in Honolulu.
My travel companion and I booked tickets spontaneously upon arrival at HNL and saw a billboard ad for the performance. Our show was later the same evening and was spectacular! Energetic show with a rapid pace, great flow, amazing acts, Hawaiian cultural elements, and just a fun thrilling experience. Well worth the price!
I’m from west O’ahu and have never been to a show in Waikiki. My fiance took me for Halloween and it was so ono. I loved all the authentic Hawaiian stories in ‘olelo with Kamehameha, Honu, Maui and Pele. I also enjoyed the Hawaiian history with the Waikiki Beach Boys. The MC was hilarious and all the acts were incredible from the Beach Boys to the fish lady to the Hinu moon goddess to the tutu with the sand art to the surfer to the Pele volcano acrobats as well as all the mele and Hawaiian dancers. It was so colorful and beautiful and you felt completely integrated and surrounded into the music and lights and scene. I’d recommend all locals and visitors to go!
Fabulous! Very talented people. It was a great show.
It is very well done. Exciting through the whole show. Always something going on.
Amazing. The sand pictures blew me away.
Fantastic! Fantastic! A must see to believe it! Highly recommended, Awesome!!
Loved the show from start to finish. Performances were breathtaking and the time flew by. this is a must see and I loved how it expressed and amplified local history and culture.
10 out of 10. Absolutely amazing. Talented team of performers. Thank you for another amazing Cirque du Soleil show. I can’t wait to bring the family with me next time. A must see if you are in Oahu.
Very entertaining and pleasant show. Everyone was fantastic. Great dancing, acrobats, music and setting.
Great show! I like this more than what I saw in Vegas The Beatles Cirque…
It was a very very good show!! EVERYONE did an amazing job! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 BRAVO!! Keep up the great work.
This was well worth it! Easy entry and exit. They had bar that also had very little food, popcorn, kettle corn and bottle water for purchase. Show was very entertaining and had a good amount of story lines and show stoppers. Love it
Good Family entertainment, consisting of various acts, something for everyone to enjoy. You will hold your breath, laugh and leave with a smile.
Outstanding! One of the best Cirque du Soleil shows that we have seen … and we have seen a few over the years!
Exciting from start to finish! These performers have incredible talent that keeps you on the edge of your seat and deeply engaged. This is a don’t miss show.
Amazing! A must see! Talented as a wide variety of… Acrobat, daters, artist the list just goes on and on.
This show is stunning at all levels, visually engaging, entertaining, amusing but most of all there are so many breathtaking moments. Exceptionally talented people performing incredible feats with a beautiful underlying story.
Absolutely spectacular show . Highly recommend seeing these very talented performers
Best entertainment for your value. The show was an hour and half long. Kept us on our seats the entire time. We enjoyed it so much, I would even consider seeing it again on this same trip. Just so thrilling to watch. I wish I had considered it the last time we were here in Waikiki.
There isn’t a bad seat in the house. Music was wonderful and the performances stunning! Great storylines.
Excellent show on par with the other Cirque shows in Vegas and Orlando. Very reasonably priced too.
A wonderful evening showcasing the exceptional talents of the Cirque Du Soleil troupe. The storyline, acrobatics, in-theatre experience was breathtaking and visually spectacular. A must see (and do) while you are in Honolulu!
What a feast for the senses! The show beautifully combined tactile and audiovisual elements, with so many delightful surprises and wonderful interaction with the audience. It was beautifully executed, with a fantastic cast of performers and amazing music, all coming together to create a truly memorable experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
It was just simply amazing. We usually do not attend such shows, but because they included the Hawaiian Culture in such a great extend, we had to see it and we are not disappointed at all. The music was outstanding and I cried at least two times. Just beautiful.
Incredibly talented cast, we were energized by the Hawaiian music, synchronized dance & acrobatics in an intimate theatre location with good views. Caution for families with younger children.
Incredible show and incredible people! They do such amazing things, and I absolutely loved it. The customer service was amazing as well. Such a wonderful experience from beginning to end! ❤️
Very entertaining from start to finish. Some novel approaches to a number of the performances. Recommend
Had a good experience! The show was great! Theater was comfortable. I purchased tickets directly through the Cirque Du Soleil site and picked them up at will call with no issues. The stage is small so sitting in the first few rows is likely going to be uncomfortable. I sat at the back of the first section and it was a great view. There are 2 bars located outside the theater with water, soda, beer, wine, cocktails, and snacks. Pricing was similar to everything in the area- $10 for beer/wine $15-20 for a cocktail.
Acrobats and dancers, accompanied by skilled musicians and songs in the Hawaiian language, paint a riveting picture of the Hawaiian culture between its traditional Polynesian roots and its modern Anglo influence. Beauty and performance immersed in color, music and daring movement!
Brilliant show. Absolutely loved it!
A really professional, enjoyable show. The 90 minutes flew by. Some of the acts ere amazing and we probably won’t get the chance to see a similar act again. Coming from the UK, we found the ticket prices expensive and only booked as it was a special occasion.
It was a small venue but was visually stunning. The entire show draws you in and there were a few times where I wad literally holding my breathe and on the edge of my seat! I was in the third row with no one in front and I was so close to the performers it felt like I was IN the show! It wasn't as large of a production as the Cirque Du Soleil I saw in Portland a long time ago, but regardless, it was an amazing time. The ticket price is well justified but the prices for food and beverages was a little high. But other than that it was an amazing night and I would recommend d attending!!
Great show and location. The performance was of the high standard that Cirque always delivers.
The acrobatics were amazing.
Great experience it was as we expected from Cirque du soleil
Amazing performance of Hawaiian culture & cirques acts!! Costumes amazing as well as performers!!
Amazing show, must see when visiting Honolulu
Fantastic production loved every minute of the show. The show grabs your attention instantly and keeps getting better. The best part of the show was watching the little kids in the audience they were so enthralled the whole show
Very entertaining ! The kids loved it. Easy to find and access the theatre. We had a fabulous time, would recommend
Perfect show. Made us feel the spiriit of Hawaii
The entrance process was fast and easy. There were multiple areas for picture opportunities. There was not a bad seat anywhere you sat was a good view of the stage and performance. The performers were amazing, very talented and entertaining!
Wonderful performance and fun activity to attend at night
Amazing experience. Family friendly. Had a good time and was good value for my money.
Excellent show made for a great night out.
Amazing show! Very talented performers! I would highly recommend the show to everyone. Take a friend.
It’s an AMAZING shows. Highly recommended. They even offer a special Friday discount if you book directly through their website, which is a great perk. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include a brief explanation of the storyline for each segment and provide translations for the songs. Having that context would make it an even more immersive experience and help audiences truly understand and appreciate the culture.
The show was awesome and amazing, a must see for all. Good show for the entire family to see together
Very good show the arena is smaller and more intimate than the Vegas shows. I like seeing the performances up close. Many of the acts were on AGT TV show so it was nice to see them live.
Amazing show filled with acrobats sand artist amazing feats
Not to Miss. Great perfomance great music cost location so to enjoy the show very closely
