Only a half hour’s drive from the Ko Olina Resort, the Waikiki Shell is a large outdoor amphitheater in Waikiki’s Kapiolani Park. The location seats 1,958 visitors in stadium chairs and includes space for an additional 6,000 guests on various lawns.
The Waikiki Shell was built in 1952 and is often billed as a place to “see the stars under the stars.” The Shell is decked out with a large stage, dressing rooms, professional sound and lighting systems. The large seating capacity and convenient location offers a popular venue for large concerts, conventions events, meetings and receptions.
The Waikiki Shell also houses… a smaller amphitheater located closer to the ocean which hosts a daytime hula show…. and the Diamond Head Greens, described by some as “a wonderful tree-lined lawn area for theme parties, receptions, banquets and weddings.”
