Not bad. Food and entertainment in different areas. We have been to a few on the beach on Oahu and Maui that were excellent. This one rates OK. Nice grounds but came for Luau.

The food was a big surprise. Fantastic! Way above what we expected. In addition to that, the glorious scenery, and the perfect sunset, we saw dolphins and whales. The staff was excellent, including our local Hawaiian musician Bula, and our very knowledgeable Hawaiian historian Mikaila. Highly recommended!

We had an awesome time and even though I originally dreaded the bus ride it was actually a lot of fun. Our guide, Kai, was so helpful and we had a blast with him. I highly recommend this luau and your services.

Four of us thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise to fern grotto and Smith Family Luau experience afterwards. We had researched luaus on the Hawaiian Islands, and I am convinced we found the ideal one. Loved the gardens and cultural dance show!

Our driver was very knowledgeable. My wife and I were not dressed for the elements but because he knew there would be quests who would not be prepared he had a couple of jackets and we were very thankful for him. The dinner was very good as well. We would recommend this company for this tour.

The event started at 17:30, but I lined up for the general seating from 17:00 and was able to be shown to a seat quite far forward. The children's buffet was ready to eat right away, so I had my child go get some, and I enjoyed it as a snack. The main buffet was delicious as well. I got a bit sleepy during the middle of the show, but the fire performances were impressive.
17:30開始ですが17:00からジェネラル席の列に並んで待ったところ、だいぶ前の席を案内してもらえました。
子供用のビュッフェはすぐに食べられるので子供に取りに行ってもらって、
つまみがわりにいただきました。メインビュッフェもどれも美味しかったです。
ショーは中盤眠くなりましたがファイア系は迫力ありますね。

This was a big hit with my husband. He was visiting his son for the week and when he got off the plane there was a sign with his name on it. I wanted to surprise him for his Birthday. He went up to the man and was surprised with a lei with nuts and shells and a flower lei. Such a nice surprise. The gentleman was very personable and talked with David about his stay. I highly recommend this company.

The quality of the performers' impersonations was surprisingly high, and the production was excellent, making it an enjoyable show overall. However, the group of guests in the front row was drunk, and it was very unpleasant that they kept crossing in front of me during the show, either to go to the restroom or for other reasons.
出演者のモノマネのクオリティが予想以上に高く、また、演出も素晴らしくてショーとしては十分楽しめました。ただ、前席の団体客が酔っ払っており、トイレに行くのか、ショーの真っ最中に代わる代わる目の前を横切って行くのが非常に不愉快でした。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We appreciate your valuable feedback. I will report it to the person in charge and we will work on improvements. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.

I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!

It was January 18th, and the mountaintop before sunrise was very cold with strong winds. However, when the sun finally appeared from behind the sea of clouds, it was beautiful and very moving. The sunrise spot was crowded, so we got off the bus and waited in the cold for over 30 minutes. I think it’s a good idea to prepare for the cold with wind protection in mind.
1月18日でしたが、日の出前の山頂は、風が強くとても寒かったです。。が、雲海の向こうから太陽がようやく顔を出したときは、きれいでとても感動しました。日の出スポットは混雑していたので、30分以上前からバスから出て寒い中待っていました。風よけを意識して防寒対策しておくと良いと思いました。

The photo service was supposed to be included, but it was not reflected in the organizer's list, and I was asked to pay for the photos.
The parking ticket is paid at the end when exiting, but please note that the payment method is only by credit card.
The show was very nice and had a great atmosphere by the sea.

The luau is just average. The show portion of the luau is in a "theater" type setting making it seem removed from the luau. The food was ok. They did try hard to accommodate my food allergy and prepared a separate plate for me.

Fun filled 3 hour cruise. Great food, music, and tour. The crew were all exceptional. Within 3 minutes of leaving the dock the crew had already located 2 whales we could watch. Right before dinner, they located a manta ray as well. The crew also found another whale on the ride home. Great time and very family friendly.

Warm Aloha Scott,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that it had poured down during the luau but according to Paradise Cove Luau, it is their operating procedure to for their staff to distribute ponchos to their guests.
We hope that on your next visit to Hawaii, the weather conditions will be better and the luau experience will be much more memorable.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
