I entered through the VIP entrance and received a welcome drink. There were some snacks and a commemorative photo opportunity (this time with an Elvis impersonator), but I thought just the photo would be enough. Since I was about to have dinner, I honestly didn't want to eat and felt it was a waste of time.
Once I took my seat next to the stage, dinner began. The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable time. I had delicious lobster and steak. I had ordered champagne in advance, so it was set up next to the table, which was a nice touch.
Now, regarding the show, the impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga performed. I personally love the songs of Michael and Gaga, so I was really excited and had a fantastic time. Michael's dancing was incredibly sharp and very skilled. He was a bit on the heavier side, though (laughs). I think it would be good for those attending to listen to the songs in advance. For someone like me who owns all of Michael's videos, it was a real treat.
After the show, you can get autographs on the commemorative photos you purchased and take pictures together. However, as expected, there is quite a line.
VIP入り口から入りウェルカムドリンクをいただきました。ちょっとしたおつまみや記念写真(今回はエルビスそっくりさん)もありましたが記念写真だけでいいと思いました。これからディナーを頂くので正直食べたくないし時間が勿体無いと感じました。
ステージ横の席に着くとディナーが始まります。スタッフも陽気でとても楽しい時間でした。ロブスター、ステーキと美味しくいただきました。予めシャンパンを頼んでおいたのでテーブル横にセッティングしてあり、嬉しい配慮でした。
さてショー肝心のショーですがエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、レディーガガさんのそっくりさんが出演しました。元々マイケルとガガの曲は好きでよく聞いていたので私的にはとても盛り上がってしまい、楽しくてしょうがない感じでした。マイケルのダンスもキレがすごくとても上手です。ちょっと太めでしたが(笑)行かれる方は予め曲を聞いておくとよいと思います。マイケルのビデオを全て持っている私にはたまりませんでした。
ショーが終わると、購入した記念写真にサインをして頂いたり一緒に記念写真を撮ることができます。ただ当然ですが結構並びます。

We participated with four family members and our grandmother.
To secure good seats, we lined up early for the circle seats. Thanks to that, we were seated in the front row, which was great for my mother, who has weak eyesight. We were able to go get food and enjoyed a lot of our favorites.
For drinks, we chose from the cocktails that were brought around. I started with a Mai Tai and then had a Blue Hawaii. They were very delicious, but it was a bit disappointing that the containers were clear cups. The food was also well-received by my grandmother, and there were meals for the children as well, which was nice.
The show became very exciting in the second half, and my wife was pulled onto the stage by a dancer to participate. There were many foreigners, and I think it’s more fun to join in without being shy. The final fire dance was spectacular, and the children were captivated. By the way, the announcements were only in English, so we found the MC parts a bit hard to follow.
It was a Hawaiian show that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy, and it became a wonderful memory.
親子4人と祖母で参加しました。
良席を確保のために、サークル席ですが早めにならんで待ちました。
そのおかげでしょうか最前列の席にとうされ、視力の弱い母にはよかったです。
私たちから食事を取りに行けて、好きなものをたくさんいただきました。
飲み物はある程度、向こうからもってきたカクテルから選らんていました。
マイタイからはじまり、ブルーハワイをいただいたかな。
とても美味しかったですが、容器がクリアのコップだったのが残念でした。
料理は祖母にも好評で、子供たち用の食事もありよかったです。
ショーが後半大変盛り上がり、妻がダンサーに手をひかれて参加しました。
外人が多く、はずかしがらずに一緒に盛り上がった方が楽しいと思います。
最後のファイアーダンスは迫力満点で、子供たちも釘付けでした。
ちなみに、こちらは英語のアナウンスのみで我々にはMCの部分が分かりづらかったです。
子供から高齢者まで楽しめる、ハワイアンショーで良い思い出になりました。

My husband and I attended the luau while on our honeymoon. The emcee was great she had a very pleasant way about her. The food was good although I was surprised to see fried chicken on the buffet. We paid for the orchid seating but after seeing how the dining area was arranged I think the regular seats would have been fine. My favorite part was the chief with the fire, that was exciting!

We were staying in KoOlina and this show arranged for us to be picked up and dropped off at our resort. This was an added bonus to the show. In addition, we couldn't believe the quality of the food served. We had lobster, filet mignon and salmon (along with salad, side dishes & dessert) all of which was cooked perfectly. The show was also top notch - with the impersonators portraying Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga in detail. You could tell that they studied their counterparts and copied their voices and dance style/moves to perfection. We truly enjoyed the show and recommend it to anyone who wants a fabulous dinner and wonderful live entertainment.

I have lived in Hawaii since 1985. My niece from Indiana visited for a week. I took her on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise, having never been on it myself. I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome! We both loved it. The pre-boarding hula & Hawaiian music, the on-board entertainment, the food, the views and the friendly staff were all very enjoyable. When other friends and family come to visit, I will be sure to take them. It was the highlight of my niece's visit!

My husband and I attended on our last full day at Hawaii and I am sooooooooo happy that we did. I think this was a great way to end our vacation even though we hated having to leave the beautiful island! This place, the venue, the set-up, activities, dinner, drinks and show was just AMAZING to say the least. The staff, especially cousin Rich(ie), he was the best bus guide/tour guide/table attendent/just overall everything the best. He was able to memorize all of our names before we arrived at Paradise Cove and there were at least 50 minimum on the bus. Even more amazing during the festivities he checked on everyone to make sure we all had what we needed and if we had any questions/help he assisted. Now that's what I call excellent customer service! (there were hundreds of other people at the luau). To sum it all up, upon return to Hawaii I will definitely go back to Paradise Cove. Best Lava Flow drinks, met some great people, fantabulous show and created lifetime memories !!!!!!!

Love, love, loved the dinner cruise. This was our first time in Hawaii and I must say I am happy that we chose this as one of the activities to attend to. From the very beginning when we got picked up from the hotel, welcoming at the cruise ship, dinner, entertainment and fireworks, this is definitely a night that will be forever cherished. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive especially our table server Rosey, she constantly made sure we had enough crab (purchased steak and all you can eat crab meal) and glasses were filled with drinks. Just AWESOME!!! The music and performers were great as well. At the end of the night we watched fireworks out on the deck. Overall my husband and I had a most memorable evening and recommend if you have not already done so this is one of the a Hawaii activities you don't want to miss!!!

What a great time we had at Paradise Cove. The activities were fun and informative. Dinner was yummy. I really enjoyed the poi and coconut milk dessert. This brought back memories of when as a child I was at Schofield Barracks (Dad stationed there.) for 4 years. So glad we booked this tour with Veltra.
Thank you so much for choosing Paradise Cove Luau to be apart of your vacation. we are glad that you had fun and enjoyed yourself. Mahalo Nui Loa.

We're not sure what is the typical greeting but going to Hawaii for the first time for us meant a definite lei greeting. It was simple. There was a guy waiting with a sign. No pictures or fancy process, but we did ask him to take a photo after the fact. Glad we did it.

When it comes to tours in Hawaii, I thought there would always be Japanese people, but on the packed bus we were picked up on, we were the only Japanese. Furthermore, during the show, we were probably the only Japanese there as well.
I think this tour may not be suitable for those who cannot speak any English or feel uneasy being around only foreigners, but we finally felt like we were experiencing being abroad, and we had a great time.
Of course, everything from the bus guide to the show was in English, but there were interactive hula shows, and newlywed couples were specially invited to the front for a showtime, so the Americans were actively participating, and we were glad we could join in as well (laughs).
Also, the scenery was amazing!
ハワイのツアーといえば、必ず日本人がいるものだと思いましたが、ピックアップされた満員のバスの中も、日本人が私たちだけ、さらにショーの中でも日本人がおそらく私たちだけでした。
英語が全く話せない人や、外国人だけでは不安という方には向いていないツアーだとは思いますが、私たちは外国にいる感じをやっと味わった気がして、とても楽しく過ごせました。
もちろん、バスガイドも、ショーもすべて英語でしたが、参加型のフラショーや、新婚カップルは、特別に前に出てショータイムがあったりと、アメリカ人の方は積極的に参加するので、負けじと(笑)参加できてよかったです。
あと、風景も最高でしたよ!

After swimming with the dolphins at Sea Life Park, we simply walked back through the park to the Luau (very convenient). We were greeted warmly with a shell necklace and photo op with the Chief, and then got to enjoy some games (spear tossing, a Polynesian version of musical chairs (except with sticks), braiding palm leaves to make head-bands, and hula dancing). There were also some tables with native-made goods for sale. Then the Chief led the unveiling ceremony of the roasted pig (he is very entertaining and funny), got our non-alcoholic drinks and food (which was very tasty, especially the pineapple cake!), and then enjoyed the show. The hula dancers were very talented, the fire dancers where great, and it was neat to see all the different dance styles of the islands that were represented. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary, so we got to go up on stage with some other couples and they honored us with some pretty flowers! The only down-side was that the location is a little small, but other than that, we had a great time!

I had the pleasure of sitting in the front on the passenger side of the helicopter so I had two windows to view the magnificent landscape. Miguel, our pilot & tour guide, immediately put me at ease and provided a very smooth and informative ride. The views of the falls, valleys & peaks, taro farms and the Na'pali coast gave me a better appreciation for the Garden Island. I would strong recommend Blue Hawaiian. The staff greeted me with smiles and were very well organized. My tour was at 8 a.m. so there were not many of us there. Upon our return however the lobby was full.

We were seated at 5 PM, and the actual show started around 7 PM. Until then, we enjoyed drinks, hula experiences, and traditional Hawaiian cuisine. The show featured not only hula but also dances from other islands like Samoa. Between the dances, there were talks and songs from the host, and I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I understood a bit more English. The time flowed leisurely, and depending on the seats, you might not be very close to the stage, so small children might get bored.
17時に着席し、実際にショーが始まるのは19時ごろからでした。それまでは、ドリンクやフラ体験、ハワイの伝統料理などを楽しみました。ショーでは、フラだけでなく、サモアなど、他の島のダンスもありました。ダンスの合間に司会者のトークや歌があり、もう少し英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかなと思います。時間もゆったりと流れますし、席によってはそれほどステージに近くないため、小さなお子様は飽きてしまうかもしれません。
