What makes it 83% Solo-Friendly: A solo guest can weave headbands, learn hula, enjoy a generous buffet, and photograph the 8-man fire dance; optional shuttle or $9 parking makes attendance simple even without companions.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: The pre-show demos, imu ceremony, dinner and show run about three hours, making 2–3 hours ideal for a solo visit.

Tip: Arrive by 5:00 PM to catch every demo at no extra cost.
Watch the imu ceremony:

Tip: Stand near the front to hear the drum signals and smell the steam release.
