Night show programs in Hawaii

The most famous nightly shows in Hawaii

Night shows are very popular entertainment on the islands. There is a huge selection of shows for every taste: from traditional island dances and songs to acrobatic shows, Elvis Presley lookalikes, magicians and comedians. Most of the show programs can be visited on the islands of Oahu and Maui.

Night show programs on the island of Oahu

Most of Oahu's nightly shows are held in hotels in the Waikiki area, as most tourists stay in this area. Here you can easily find a program to your taste. But there are tourists who come for a long time and do not stay in hotels, but looking for houses for rent in Hawaii or property management Hawaii. This option is more suitable for them.

If you want to visit a world famous show with jokes, music, songs and dances, then “the Society of Seven” is sure to be to your taste. This program is performed by a collective of seven singers and musicians who will entertain you with hits from Broadway, Latin and Hawaiian music, musical scenes, celebrity look-alikes and lots of humor. This show is held at the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel. You can purchase a show ticket and a ticket that also includes a buffet.

The show program “Blue Hawaii” is performed by the best Elvis Presley lookalike Jonathon Von Branagh, who received the National Television Award for Best Elvis Lookalike in the World. He will appear before you as a living embodiment of the king of rock and roll and perform his hits for you. Tickets may also include dinner, and the show is held at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel.

“Magic of Polynesia” is a show by world famous illusionist John Hirokawa in a hall specially created for this show at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel. If you love magic and tricks, then you just can't help but visit this show. Hirokawa will perform exciting stunts; he will make things appear and disappear, and also show all his skill and dexterity, getting out of cunning traps. He will make a real helicopter disappear in front of your eyes and make it snow right in the hall! The show has Polynesian influences, so hula dance and songs await you. Show tickets are available in three options: Show Only, Show and Dinner, Show and Exclusive Dinner.

Cirque Hawaii is a new entertainment show hosted by the Cirque Hawaii Theater. See over 40 participants in 15 stunning numbers. Gymnasts will show you their acrobatic talents that will definitely take your breath away. You will see dances, miracles of balance, exciting acrobatic stunts and clowns that will make you cry with laughter. Show tickets are available in several flavors: show only, or with dinner or memento.

Another well-known show program of Waikiki “Creation. Creations – A Polynesian Journey is held at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel. The show uses music, dance and special visual effects to tell the history of Polynesia and its myths. This show may remind you of a luau pir, as the songs and dances are the same, and both entertainments end with a Samoan knife dance. You can choose the ticket option that suits you best: show and cocktail, show and dinner or exclusive dinner.

One of the most famous (if not the most famous) show programs on the island of Oahu is the program “Horizon. Where the Sea Meets the Sky “(” Horizons – Where the Sea Meets the Sky “), performed by the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie. The show combines elements of the culture of the seven Polynesian islands (Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands). If you are interested in the music and dance of the Polynesian islands, then this show is perfect. In order to get to the show, you must buy a ticket to the Polynesian Cultural Center itself, which is a living museum where you can learn all about the Polynesian peoples. Several ticket options are available.

Night show programs on the island of Maui

If you are staying on the island of Maui and want to attend any show, then you can choose one of the three most popular programs: Ulalena, Kupanaha, and the Sugarcane Train.

Ulalena is a show that tells the myths and legends of Hawaii. There are many rooms with traditional hula, acrobatic and modern dances. The show is held at the Maui Theater, which was built specifically for this show. Thanks to the excellent sound and light equipment and the stunning performance, you can feel like a part of ancient myths in the legends of the islands. If you are interested in Hawaiian culture and want to fully immerse yourself in it, Ulalena is exactly what you need! You can purchase several ticket options.

Kupanaha, Magic for All Generations, is another great way to get to know Hawaiian myths and legends. The program includes stunning magic tricks, hula dance and island songs. The program is performed by talented people – Jody and Caitlyn Baran and their daughter. Dinner is also included in the ticket price. The program menu includes a large number of appetizers, main courses and desserts. There is a special children's menu. The Kupanaha show program is held at the Kanahele Room Theater at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel.

The Sugar Cane Train offers an evening train adventure that you won't find anywhere other than Maui. A barbecue and show are offered to you. The train departs from Puukolii Station and during the trip you will enjoy the beautiful views outside the window. The final station is Kaanapali Station for a delicious Hawaiian-style dinner with dancing and music. You can even practice hula dancing during the show.

Night show programs on Kauai and the Big Island

There are no special nightly shows on Kauai and the Big Island. But if you are staying on one of these two islands and want to attend any entertainment event, then we advise you to visit luau. If you are visiting a resort, you can inquire about the programs at your hotel. Most large hotels have bars and restaurants that host live performances.

What you need to know about Hawaii’s second vaccine passport

You can love them or hate them, but vaccine passports are increasingly being used to prove immunization status to travel and visit indoor venues such as restaurants.

The United States uses a paper card from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to prove that people have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Obviously, that can become a problem when it comes to travel for several reasons, such as the potential for fraud or losing your card.

But several states have vaccine passport programs that allow people to show their vaccination status on their cell phones. And vaccine passports are becoming more widely adopted by airlines and international destinations, especially as it’s getting harder to travel if you’re unvaccinated.

Now, Hawaii has just launched a new vaccine passport, called the Hawaii Smart Health Card. The program already appears to be popular: 20,000 people signed up on the first day. Here’s what you need to know about the Hawaii Smart Health Card.

What is the Hawaii Smart Health Card?

(Photo by Clint Henderson/The Points Guy) Hawaii’s Smart Health Card is a form of digital proof to access businesses and venues with COVID-19 vaccination requirements. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine in the state of Hawaii, you can use the Smart Health Card if it’s been 14 days since your last dose.

“The digital Health Card supports counties that require proof of vaccination at certain businesses and venues,” said Hawaii Gov. David Ige. “It’s another step toward protecting the health and safety of our residents and visitors, while also balancing the need to support local businesses and Hawaii’s economy.”

Who can use the card? The program is only available to people vaccinated in Hawaii, so you can’t use the program just yet if you were vaccinated elsewhere. According to a FAQ explaining the program, Smart Health Cards may be used in other states that issue or permit them.

There’s no word if Hawaii will expand the Smart Health Card to other states, but the state says people not vaccinated in Hawaii can present a hard copy of a vaccination document as proof. But if you’re worried about proving your vaccination status, especially if you live in a state like New York, both states use a similar program.

“Any restaurant that is looking at verifying Hawaii vaccinations will also probably be able to verify California and New York vaccinations as they use the SMART Health Card standard,” Ige said.

According to a statement announcing the program, eligible people can register by creating an account in the Safe Travels Digital Platform and navigating to the Smart Health Card section. You’ll be required to upload a photo of your vaccination card and then enter your vaccination information. Once your information is validated, you’ll receive a QR code that can be used to enter businesses with vaccination requirements.

What restrictions are in place in Hawaii?

(Photo by Clint Henderson/The Points Guy) Hawaii has added several restrictions to combat the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus.

Things are so dire in the state that Hawaii is considering denying medical care to some older patients if cases continue to rise. The state is experiencing its worst surge of COVID-19 cases yet and has asked tourists to stay away. Even with the warnings, travel continues, and indoor and outdoor activities are still allowed. But some islands have put restrictions on what unvaccinated people can do.

Oahu, for instance, now requires proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test to eat at restaurants and bars. All patrons over 12 eating indoors will only be permitted by showing proof of immunization or results of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours of entry, as outlined in an emergency order. The guidance also applies to certain entertainment and recreational settings, including bowling alleys, movie theaters, museums and indoor gyms and fitness centers.

Maui also launched a similar program called “Safer Outside,” which also bars unvaccinated travelers from eating indoors and puts capacity restrictions on indoor and outdoor activities. According to KHON, no more than five people can gather indoors, and no more than 10 can gather outside. Commercial events with 50 or more people can reportedly apply for an exemption to the mandate.

Maui’s rule is more similar to New York City’s vaccination mandate, which says that only vaccinated diners can eat indoors and has no exception for those with a negative COVID-19 test. But, unlike Maui, the Big Apple has no restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings.

Doesn’t Hawaii already have a vaccine passport? It’s important to note that the Smart Health Card is not the same as the state’s existing Safe Travelers program. That can seem confusing, but there are notable differences between the two.

For starters, the Smart Health Card, a vaccine passport, cannot be used for traveling to Hawaii: it’s only allowed to access venues with vaccination requirements. And it’s only available for people immunized in Hawaii. The program is also voluntary, even though the requirement to show proof of vaccination is not.

All travelers — residents or visitors — still need to register with the Safe Travels system before traveling to Hawaii. Unlike the Smart Health Card, Safe Travels is a mandatory program. The program requires travelers to present proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test from a list of approved partner labs or face quarantine.
