Disney’s newest heroine, Moana, has arrived at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa. Experience the spirit of adventure and wonder of Hawai’i with fun-filled activities, enchanting storytelling, a special makeover, character greeting moments and more!

“Moana” is the story of an adventurous teenage girl who teams up with the demigod Maui on a daring mission to fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest as she sails among the islands of Oceania to save her people.

Say Aloha to Moana! Moana has arrived at Aulani and is delighted to share stories, hugs and snapshots with resort guests. Aulani guests can check the Daily ‘Iwa for meeting times and locations.  

Mo‘olelo Fireside Stories with Moana.  At the edge of the sea – surrounded by the enchantment of O’ahu –  guests can gather by the fire pit as Aulani’s beloved storyteller “Uncle” brings legends of the island to life.  Moana  will join as she recounts her own tales.  

Uncle’s Kahakai Canoe Race. At Pau Hana Community Hall is where Uncle shares the fascinating lore of the wa’a or Hawaiaan canoe – an essential part of Polynesian culture and history. Then, you can unleash your inner explorer and take to the ocean in a fun and spirited canoe race the whole family can enjoy. 

Moana Makeover . Young Guests can discover their inner adventurer with a Moana-inspired makeover in Painted Sky – our teen spa. They’ll make a splash with a themed costume, styled hair, manicure, pedicure and makeup.
