Bought lei for my grandchildren to watch the Kamehameha day parade. So many options of traditional Hawai’i lei. Locally grown and sewn, LOVE that! Support local from the bar to the lei stand nothing but good vibes!

Hula's Bar & Lei Stand was where our wedding week got loose in the best way. This Waikiki institution is iconic for a reason, and it was the perfect spot to let our hair down with friends and family, with that unbeatable view, strong drinks, and a dance floor that called our names. Derek and the team were welcoming and took great care of our group from the moment we walked in. The vibe was electric, the staff was fun, and it gave our crew exactly the kind of carefree island night you hope for around a wedding. If you're looking for a legendary good time in Waikiki, Hula's is the move. We'll be back every time we're on island.

I visited this place today. Was really glad and happy to see, but the place was locked with no one to give any information. and a small notice to say it opens on Friday and Saturday only. Very sad to see the same. As Allah wishes. Hope to find a place to pray regularly
