My family comes to Hawaii every 2 years, and we never miss Paradise Cove. It never fails to provide a special evening while in Hawaii! The sunset on the beach is unbeatable as well.

This was so fun to do on our honeymoon! They kept the drinks flowing, which was nice! The show was beautiful and we were literally sitting right on the beach & could hear the waves crashing behind us. Almost all the food was gluten free and they were easily able to tell me which two things not to eat to have an entirely GF experience, which really helped me eat safely and confidently without worrying about getting sick since I have Celiac. I would definitely recommend this luau to anyone visiting Maui! PS - we took our leis all the way back home to NC with us because they were so pretty!

Great welcome on ship, platters were waiting and salad, great entertainment and staff. The lobster was not what i am used to, so would not select this option again.Was beautiful and seeing the fireworks out in the sea was amazing. Would go again and highly recommend.

Very relaxing cruise up the river. Beautiful scenery. Very friendly and helpful staff. Also enjoyed the witty sense of humor on the commentaries. The trail is not the best for the elderly and spots on the trail were difficult to maneuver a walker so highly suggest a wheelchair instead, but the scenery was well-worth the trip.

The large deck for viewing was definitely a plus from when I was there back in 2007. Just a little disappointing that the frems were so few. I guess that hurricane did more damage to the environment then I thought.
Music was wonderful as always.
Boat ride also pleasant. Guide giving information about the area along the river was very helpful.

As we cruised upstream on a boat along the gentle flow of the Waimea River, it was a delightful moment to wave at tourists kayaking downstream, all enjoying a fun holiday. After climbing the path surrounded by tropical plants and flowers from the dock, we reached a spot where water dripped down and long plant tendrils hung, revealing a dark opening. It is said to be a place that only the Hawaiian royal family could visit, but now it is a power spot where weddings can also be held. The tour lasted about two hours, and I felt a great sense of fulfillment.
ワイメア川の穏やかな流れを、上流へ向けて遊覧船で進むと、カヤックで下るツーリストと手を降りながら、お互いに楽しい休日を過ごしている一時でした。船着き場から南国の植物や、花に囲まれた遊歩道を上りきると上空に、したたる水と長い植物しだ?がたれて、黒く見える穴が確かにあった。ハワイ先住民の王族しか訪れることができなかった場所だそうだが。今は結婚式もできるパワースポット。2時間程のツアーだが、すごく充実感を味わえた。

Prior experience was very elegant. There were pictures taken by the water...Now, they cram as many people as they can. The food is served table buffet - no longer the artfully displayed food. It is still better than most but I won't be back.

I sat towards the center tables to the left. I couldnt see anything because the performers sit too low on the stage. Also many people in the front seats (as if they already not happy enough with their view) would stand up and block our view. I missed the fire show. :(

I participated in a Hawaiian show in Hawaii that I was looking forward to with my wife.
The meeting place and schedule were as planned, and they provided transportation by bus without any issues.
The local Hawaiian show, including hula dancing and fire dancing, was so much fun!!
However, there was no Japanese announcement on-site, so I couldn't keep up with the vibe. There were hardly any Japanese people there. If I could speak a little more English, I think I would have enjoyed it more and been able to communicate with the people at my table!
ハワイで楽しみにしていたハワイアンショー
嫁と一緒に参加しました。
待ち合わせ場所やスケジュール等は、
予定通りで問題なくバスで送迎してくれました
現地のハワイアンショーのフラダンスやファイヤーダンス等とっても楽しかった!!
ただ、現地での日本語アナウンスは無いので、
ノリにはついていけず。
日本人も殆どいませんでした。
多少英語ご話せるなら、もっと楽しめたし、
一緒の席の人達ともコミュニケーション出来たと思います!

This was my husband and my first time in Hawaii and we booked this sunset dinner cruise to celebrate our honeymoon. We were amazed by the way we were received, we booked the 5 course meal package which was to die for. Their food is amazing! Going up to the dock of the boat and watching the sunset was the Cherry on top. We got amazing pictures and the atmosphere was perfect. Then we came back inside to enjoy watching the dancers perform. It was a perfect and relaxing cruise.

My family had a lovely time together as we looked for a low-key activity in the evening after busy days in the sun. For our session, it was cool to meet at the rooftop tennis courts and not too hard to find. We saw a variety of stars, the moon close-up, and even Saturn. Our group was larger than I expected but anyone could ask questions throughout the experience. I'd love more stories or information to be shared throughout, but again it was an easy, light-hearted, and informative night. Also, we didn't want to commit to one of the long star-gazing activities especially on the other islands because it wouldn't work well with the different ages in our group so this was shorter and manageable.

On August 18th, I participated in the tour at 3:30 PM. There were only three of us Japanese, but about 70 people were on board, and the benches were about 80% full. After traveling upstream for nearly 30 minutes on a river where you hardly feel any current, we arrived at a small dock. From there, it was about a five-minute walk to the cave entrance. There was a collapse accident over a decade ago, and since then, entry to the interior has been prohibited. It felt like the remnants of a mining site, and the ferns were less lush than I expected. The staff performed songs and hula both in front of the cave and on the return boat. There was also a simple practical lecture, which was in English, and I enjoyed that.
8月18日、15時30分のツアーに参加しました。日本人は我々3名だけでしたが、70人くらいは乗船しベンチは8割方埋まっていました。流れをほとんど感じない川を30分弱上ると小さな船着場に到着、そこから5分ほど歩くと洞窟前に到着します。10数年前に崩落事故があり以後内部は立ち入り禁止です。採掘場の跡のような感じで、シダの茂り方も思ったより貧相な感じでした。洞窟前や帰りの船上でスタッフが歌やフラを披露してくれます。簡単な実技のレクチャーもあり、英語の解説ですがそれは楽しめました。

It was a relaxing activity and great for littles, but I could sense the tiredness in the crew because we took the last tour of the day. Best to go earlier in the day. Also, be warned to bring bug spray with you on the jungle walk to the fern grotto! Fern grotto was beautiful, but hard to hear explanations over arguing children. Haha. Maybe it would be easier if thye had a loud speaker or megaphone at the fern grotto?
