We participated as three couples, including my eldest daughter and her husband, to celebrate my wife's retirement and my youngest daughter's marriage. Since it was our first time, we chose the most luxurious course, and the guide Yuki, who is from Okinawa, was wonderful, as were the performances from each village (island). Occasionally having a dinner without alcohol was quite nice as well.
The highlight was the Horizons show. Everyone was moved by it. Since returning home, we have been enjoying the DVD and CD we received as gifts. Next time we participate, I might challenge myself to try the workshop course.
家内の退職記念と下の娘の入籍祝いを兼ねて、長女夫妻を含めた3カップルの6名で参加。
初めてなので一番贅沢な?コースを選択したのですが、案内してくれた沖縄出身のyukiさんのガイドも、それぞれの村(島)でのパフォーマンスも素晴らしい。たまにはアルコール抜きのデイナーもなかなかのもの。
そして圧巻はHorizonsショー。全員で感動していました。
帰国してからも、プレゼントされたDVDyaCDを愉しんでいます。
また参加するときは、ワークショップのコースにチャレンジしてみようかな。

Guides are excellent. There is something going on all the time. Too much to see in 1 day. We'll definitely go back. The Luau was fantastic and the Horizons show was outstanding!

We had a great time! The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The actual location and grounds of the Luau are beautiful and we watched the sunset over the ocean. The dancers were very good, and our host, Linden, was absolutely wonderful. He is a crack up and came up with a lot of things to entertain us on the bus. The bar tenders were quick and you never had to wait long for drinks. Jasmine pours a killer Mai Tai. Also, the quality of the rum is good......no hangovers the next day.

My husband and I spent the day at the Cultural Ctr. the day after Christmas. Our tour escort "Cousin Will" picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the various villages throughout the day. It was an educational day and a lot of fun as well. We learned so much about the different cultures, their language, their dance and their stories. The luau was fun and tasty. The Horizon's show was a spectacular finale of the day, the best show on the island of Oahu. I would recommend this experience for any first timers to the islands of Hawaii. And it's true that you can't see everything in one day. I wish we could have stayed longer. Enjoy!

What a fantastic all-day affair!! The frequent "say aloha" prompts from the tour guides was a bit much and got old, but the actual activity was a fabulous and impressive one. We hope to return to Hawaii someday and will repeat this one. Do be aware that they charge extra for a tour guide, but it is worth it for the first time.

I participated when I took my parents to Hawaii for the first time. Of course, the night show "Horizons" was amazing, but the most fun for our family was especially in the Samoa Village, with the fire-starting demonstration and coconut cracking, and the chant of "Stone coconut, stone coconut, stone..." still brings back joyful memories for my parents. We laugh every time we watch the video. It's a classic in Hawaii, and I recommend participating at least once! We could have driven there ourselves, but driving at night with jet lag can be dangerous, so joining the tour was a safe choice.
父母を初めてハワイに連れていった時に参加しました。もちろん
夜のショー「ホライズン」もすごいですが・・・私達の家族の中で、一番楽しかったのは、特にサモア村で、火おこしの実演やココナッツ割りや火起こしでの『石 椰子 石 椰子 石・・・・』は今でも父母の楽しかった思い出のようで・・・
ビデオを見ては笑ってしまいます。ハワイの定番ですが、一度は参加!!お勧めです。自分達で、車でも行けますが、、時差ボケでの夜の運転は危ないので、OPツアー参加は安心して行けました。

I have been to this Center multiple times. And I will probably go back again some time. I continue to take friends and family to this Center as I find the educational value significant. I also enjoy the talents of the people and enjoy the food. This is a great place to visit.

My favorite part of the experience was seeing the Samoan fire dancer at the end of the evening show, "Horizons". It was a beautiful, exciting and fun performance! He was also doing a cooking demonstration earlier that day at the Samoan camp. He was funny, charming, and kept us smiling. You can tell that he really loves what he does. I also loved how everyone who worked at the park seemed excited to share their culture.

Event was extremely well-organized... hard-working staff efficiently received, fed and entertained 800 guests in an outdoor venue over a brief timeframe. Optional transportation from Honolulu is advantageous because the guide promotes partying door to door and the bus driver is the designated driver. Buffet provided sufficient choices for a vegetarian!

This is actually my third time participating in this activity. Why do I join the Paradise Cove Luau? It's because I really enjoy it, and I believe it's the best luau on Oahu.
First of all, I definitely recommend Paradise Cove to those who are visiting Hawaii for the first time. The reasons are: it's reasonably priced for what you get, there are hula lessons and activities for kids before the show starts, and they provide transportation to and from the hotel.
However, I can't say the food is particularly delicious; I recommend participating mainly for the show. The relatively tasty dish was the fried chicken. As for poi (mashed taro, a staple food for locals, similar to rice in Japan), it doesn't taste great on its own, but when eaten with lomilomi salmon, it actually becomes quite tasty. Eating it with side dishes is definitely better than just having rice alone.
You can also enjoy the sunset and stargazing, so I think you can experience a side of Hawaii that you won't find in Waikiki. If you're a first-timer, why not give it a try? I'm planning to bring someone who is visiting Hawaii for the first time again next year.
このアクティビティーに参加するのは実は3回目なんです。
なぜこのパラダイスコーブルアウに参加するのか?
それはもちろん気に入っているからですが、オアフ島では一番いいルアウだとおもいます。
まず私はハワイが初めてという方にこのパラダイスコーブルアウを必ず薦めます。
その理由は?内容の割りにリーズナブルであること。?ショーが始まる前にフラレッスンや子供向けのアクティビティーがあること。?ホテルまで送迎があることです。
ただし料理は特においしいとは言えませんあくまでショーを目的に参加されることをお勧めします。
料理で比較的美味しかったのはフライドチキンです。
ポイ(タロイモの磨り潰したもので現地の方の主食・日本の米のようなもの)の食べ方ですがそれだけ食べても美味しくないですがロミロミサーモンなどと一緒に食べると実は結構美味しいんです。米だけ食べるよりおかずも一緒に食べた方が美味しいでしょ。
サンセットや星空も一緒に楽しめるのでワイキキに無いハワイを楽しめると思います。
初めての方一度参加してみてはいかがですか?
私は来年またハワイ初めての方を連れて参加予定です。

I wish we had gone to the Royal Hawaiian Luau first since we went to another one on our first night in Honolulu and it was nothing compared to this one! The food was excellent! The teriyaki beef was tender, the kalua pork was incredibly flavorful (and they had a whole roasted pig as well!), the mahimahi was some of the best I have ever had and I even tried a bit of the poi (wasn't great, but I had to try it again!). The service was quick and friendly and the drinks were very yummy.
I liked the fact that the show is very engaging and all of the performers just shined on stage. It is a bit pricier than some of the other luaus, but it is definitely worth it!

My family and I enjoyed our whole day in PCC. We manage to visit all the 7 tribes of polynesia thanks to our to guide. He was very courteos and very friendly specially to our little ones. The day went very smooth although the weather was hot and muggy. The food at the luau was good as well as the performances of the girls and cousin benny. It was a delightfull dinner indeed. After the luau, we had 1 hour free time to ourselves to visit the souviener shops and check our photos taken during the day. A bit expensive for an 8X10 picture but we bit the bullet for the sake of remembrance. The night show was splendid. They pretty much showed all the seven tribes altogether and made a fabuluos show. Hula dancers were good, they were great shaking their butts. Men were also good at what they do. They really played their part as a tribe warriors. They added a little humor which I thought was cool such as slipping down the floor and pretending to hurt their butt. The three men fire dancers remind
