Go see it!!
Excellent show on par with the other Cirque shows in Vegas and Orlando. Very reasonably priced too.

Auana in Honolulu
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!
via Tripadvisor
A feast for the senses!
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’s a Must See!
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.

Engaging performance with talented cast
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.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 848 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel?
+
Around 297 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel?
+
Included: Ticket to 'Auana by Cirque du Soelil (Category selected at the time of booking); and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop off; and Food and beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel?
+
The experience starts at Cirque du Soleil 'Auana, 2300 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96815, United States. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel?
+

Is 'Auana by Cirque du Soleil at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
