Do I need a ticket or reservation?

Yes, reservations are required; capacity is limited and oceanfront tables fill quickly, so book in advance via the referral link.

Is there a dress code?

Resort‑smart attire is recommended—think polished casual rather than beachwear; avoid flip‑flops for lawn seating.

Is parking available at the hotel?

Parking exists but is limited during events; consider ride‑share, hotel shuttle, or public transit to avoid delays.

Can I bring children?

Families are welcome, but check the event age policy at booking; keep young children supervised to avoid disrupting the performance.

Are dietary restrictions accommodated?

Menus often include local seafood and produce; contact the event organizer ahead of time to request vegetarian, gluten‑free, or allergy accommodations.

What should I know about photography?

Photographing the sunset and dinner is fine, but silence devices and avoid flash during the live performance to respect artists and other guests.

Oceanfront Elegance: Moana Surfrider's 125th Birthday Dinner in Waikiki | Events | Theater

On a warm Waikiki evening, Moana Surfrider's 125th Birthday Dinner brings oceanfront elegance to the edge of Honolulu, Hawaii. Held on the hotel's lawn facing the Pacific, the celebration pairs a four-course menu with sparkling rosé and a private concert by Robert Cazimero, offering visitors a rare blend of culinary craft and Hawaiian musical lineage. The event centers on the hotel's grassy veranda and nearby shoreline, where trade winds carry the scent of salt and plumeria as the sun lowers behind Diamond Head. This dinner is more than a meal; it’s a civic gathering that highlights why this hotel matters to Waikiki’s outdoor scene. The Moana Surfrider has long been a public-facing stage for sunset rituals: surfers paddle past the reef, honu occasionally cruise nearshore, and shorebirds trace the skyline. Here, the Pacific and the island’s coral formation provide the backdrop - sandy beach, shallow reef flats, and a horizon that frames migrating seabirds, making the setting as much a part of the program as the courses themselves. Expect a carefully paced evening: appetizers and greetings mingle with sunset views, followed by composed entrées that showcase local produce and seafood, then dessert paired with coffee or digestifs. Sparkling rosé lifts the menu while Robert Cazimero’s ukulele and vocal arrangements root the night in Hawaiian songcraft, turning the lawn into a living room for visitors and kūpuna alike. Practical notes for visitors: arrival times are enforced to keep the program flowing; comfortable, resort-smart attire is appropriate; and the lawn surface can be uneven, so plan footwear accordingly. The site’s proximity to Waikiki means easy access to hotels, transit, and evening walks along the shore after the performance. Photographers and sunset seekers will find the mix of low light and stage illumination a rewarding challenge: long exposures capture the ocean’s shimmer while warm stage lights render musicians and diners in intimate tones. For active visitors, combine the evening with a daytime paddle or a walk in nearby Kapiʻolani Park to make the most of Honolulu’s outdoor offerings. Booking this dinner is a chance to enjoy a singular night where local music, refined flavors, and the Pacific converge. Whether you come for the cultural resonance of Robert Cazimero’s performance or to celebrate an iconic hotel, the event is an atmospheric, visitor-friendly way to experience Waikiki’s shoreline after dark. Reserve early; capacity is limited and tables along the oceanfront fill quickly. Consider arriving by ride-share or hotel shuttle to avoid parking constraints. Bring reef-safe sunscreen for daylight arrivals, and silence mobile devices during the performance to preserve the music. This dinner balances refined hospitality with island culture, and it’s an accessible way for visitors to connect with Honolulu’s seaside rhythms. Book now for an unforgettable evening.
