Close-up magic at its best!
Shoot Ogawa performs comedy and magic, with the audience participating. Ogawa’s lively banter and fast-paced tricks is the draw. The setting adds to it. Ogawa performs nightly in an intimate venue at the Hilton Waikīkī Beach Resort & Spa. You pass through a Victorian-Hawaiian museum of curiosities before reaching the theater, which turns the walk in into part of the show. My husband and I had a wonderful time!

Fun and intimate experience
Super fun and engaging close up and intimate show. Came with the kids and grandparents and everyone loved it!

Good show
Great show!!!! Very funny and great magic! Would see again
via Tripadvisor
Overblown and overpriced
Though there was some great tricks the repetition of jokes (particularly around the magicians being Japanese) and constant use of card and coin tricks wore thin. Also took 35 minutes to see a trick. I understand that the magicians had to work with some rowdy crowd members but the show was very expensive for a solo traveller and given it was held at the Hilton I would’ve expected a higher standard. The staff that were assisting from the Hilton were lovely providing floral Lays, drinks and checking us in smoothly

Magic
Very Interactive, funny, and the slight of hand tricks were amazing. The Magicians were very funny and kept the audience laughing.

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 3,595 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 Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel?
+
Around 1,258 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oahu: The Magical Mystery Show! at Hilton Waikiki Beach 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.
