Cirque du Soleil ‘Auana is the first-ever resident production in Hawai'i, performing exclusively at the OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel in Honolulu. The show is currently running with multiple performances scheduled throughout March 2026 and the rest of the year.
‘Auana (Hawaiian for "to wander") weaves traditional Hawaiian mo‘olelo (stories) with world-class acrobatics. The narrative follows a character known as the Trickster on a journey through eight chapters of Hawaiian history and folklore.
The venue does not offer dedicated parking validation for show guests, so it is recommended to arrive at least one hour early to secure a spot nearby.
