A lei, not a wristband, at the door
Every guest is greeted with a handmade lei rather than a paper ticket or wristband — the first of the evening's strands, and the one detail every ticket shares.
Finding your table
The terrace is small enough that GetYourGuide's own listing promises no table more than three rows from the stage, so there's no genuinely bad seat to worry about.
Dinner guests eat first
Anyone on the dinner ticket moves through the Hyatt's International Buffet before the performance begins, with Hawaiian and other island dishes alongside the usual carving and seafood stations.
Express guests wait for the show
Guests on the express ticket skip the buffet queue entirely and simply wait with their welcome drink for the hula to begin.
The show itself
What follows moves through hula both ancient and contemporary, the company's own words for an evening built specifically around how a lei is made, worn and given, rather than a general Pacific-islands revue.
The close
The final number ends with flowers falling over the stage — a last image before the night winds down and your party heads for the lift.
