Had a great time with my daughter. Cousin Fifi made everyone comfortable and welcome. He made a point of talking to every individual on the bus. He also looked after us exceptionally well at the luau. Food was excellent as was the entertainment. Would recommend as it was recommended to me

We had the tour yesterday evening and we enjoyed every moment. The park is beautiful set up with the tropical trees/plants. The entertainment and dinner was really good.
Overall a very nice experience to see the local traditional dances and art craftwork. We highly recommend this to do if you have the chance!

The show is good enough; activities are unnecessary. It's disappointing. It's not suitable for Japanese people. It seems to be aimed at middle-aged individuals from the mainland.

Overall, we really enjoyed the Luau. The arts and crafts, demonstrations, food, and show were all excellent. Cons were that there were a lot of long lines, seating was crammed up in tiny plastic chairs, and you had to get your own beverage in tiny cups with the choice of water, tea, or coffee which ran out.

What a wonderful way for us to end our 2 week 25th wedding anniversary stay on the Hawaiian Islands. We stayed on 3 different Islands and planned from the beginning to end it here at Paradise Cove for an authentic Luau. What a great call! It was even better than we had anticipated. You can't come to Hawaii and not do this! The food, venue, and wow, the entertainment was so spot on and professional. These people absolutely know how to entertain and make an evening memorable for a lifetime. Thank you so much for all the preparation and hard work. WOW!

I arrived about 40 minutes ago, and the staff was already waiting. There were only two groups of four people for the horseback riding at 1:30 PM: my husband and I, and a group of foreign women. I thought we would go together, but we ended up on separate courses and never saw each other, which made it feel exclusive. The horse was very intelligent and well-groomed, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but she engaged with us, which was fun. And above all, the location nestled between the mountains and the sea was perfect. I was able to relax and had a wonderful time.
40分くらい前に到着しましたが、既にスタッフの方が待機されていました。13:30からの乗馬は私達夫婦と海外の女性の2組4名のみ。2組一緒に行くのかと思ったら別のコースで終始視界にも入らず、貸切のようで特別感がありました。毛並みの整ったとても賢い馬で安心して楽しめました。案内の女性は日本語が喋れませんが色々話しかけてくれて楽しかったです。そしてなんといっても山と海に挟まれた絶好のロケーション。とてもリラックスでき素敵な時間を過ごせました。

This was such an awesome afternoon/evening! Started off with a great tour bus hostess, really funny lady, and when we got to the beautiful Paradise Cove locations we were greeted with Mai Tai's. From there we were shown how to do a Hula dance, watched a ripped as guy climb like a monkey up a coconut palm, how to traditionally fish and cook the pig. There was an awesome buffet meal whilst we were treated to all different styles of Polynesian dances and songs. Drink prices were cheap for amazing cocktails, and overall such a lovely evening. Would highly recommend!

The dinner and luau experience at Paradise Cove were very nice. Our bus guide, Rich, was funny and helpful.
When we arrived we were given a mai tai/alcohol free mai tai, a flower lei if you bought the orchid or deluxe package (shell necklace if not), and they take a photo. Then you go in and shop or do activities. We got "Polynesia tattoos", had flower headbands made, held parrots, and threw spears. The lines for the activities take ages.
Unbeknownst to me, the stands that sell all the interesting items close when dinner starts, so if you want to use your merchandise card on something other than alcohol or cheap junk in the Marketplace shop then make sure you do you shopping before dinner starts. Children's merchandise cards can't be used on alcohol. This part was the only downside.

It was a very American tour where the entertainment started already on the bus. The bus guide was amazing! The pre-show entertainment was fun, with a sense of unity amidst the freedom. If you don't miss the signal from the conch shell, you can keep up with the flow. But it's okay if you fall behind! Everyone spends their time as they like, and that sense of freedom is very pleasant.
It's more enjoyable if you can speak English, but if you want to experience American entertainment with your body, you don't need to worry about the language! I recommend this for those who want to have an experience a bit different from a typical Japanese group tour!
The deluxe dinner course is worth the money. The meal is served to you, and you also receive souvenirs and a $24 gift card. We wore yukatas! Since everyone was dressed nicely, there was no need to feel embarrassed. It gets chilly at night, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear over.
I was glad to have such a fun tour. Thank you!
行きのバスの中から既にエンターテイメントが始まる(盛り上がっている)アメリカらしいツアーでした。バスガイドさん最高です!
ショーが始まる前の余興も、自由な中に一体感があり楽しかったです。ホラ貝の合図を聞き逃さなければ、ちゃんと流れについていけます。でも流れに遅れても問題ないです!皆んな好きなように時間を過ごしています。その自由感が心地よくなります。
英語はできた方が楽しいですが、アメリカのエンターテイメントを体で感じるのであれば、言葉は気にしなくていいです!日本人の団体ツアーから少しでも離れた経験をしたい人にオススメです!
デラックスディナーコースはお金を払う価値アリです。食事も運んでもらえて、お土産や24ドルの金券(カード)ももらえます。
私達は、浴衣を着て行きました!皆さんお洒落しているので、恥ずかしくないですい。夜は冷えるので、羽織る物を持っていくといいです。
こんなに楽しいツアーがあって良かった、と思いました。ありがとうございました。

This was truly a great time. We had the deluxe package so we had special seating and an unobstructed view of the stage and entertainers. The weather was great as well as the food and drinks. They took great care of us and attended our every request. They had lots of activities at the cove. They had spear throwing, rafting, lei making and of course hula lessons. If you go to the island make the time to attend a luau and especially at Paradise Cove. It was simply the best.

I stayed at Aulani and used the local gathering for this experience. I made my reservation based on reviews and experiences that mentioned you could still enjoy it even if you didn't understand the language. Understanding the flow of the event in advance helps you enjoy it smoothly. Conversely, if you don't know what to expect and can't understand the language, it might reduce the enjoyment.
I participated in the "Deluxe Dinner Package." Entry for the deluxe package is guided by staff, and after receiving a drink and taking a commemorative photo, you are seated at your designated table (it doesn't seem to be based on the order of arrival). You will need to show an age verification document (like a passport) for alcoholic drinks.
You receive a card charged with $24. You can use it to order drinks or buy souvenirs. Soft drinks were around $7. Water and coffee are available for free.
You can enjoy events until the show starts. You can get tattoos, and make headpieces and arm decorations. You will need $1 for this, so be sure to prepare it in advance. Additionally, you can play games like javelin throwing and canoeing.
If you head towards the sound of the conch shell, there will be mini-events. You can see someone climbing a palm tree barehanded and dropping flowers, and you can watch a net fishing demonstration. Finally, a whole roasted pig is brought out from the ground, signaling the start of the buffet.
In the deluxe package, the food is served to you, and staff come to take drink orders. Considering that you receive a commemorative photo, I would recommend it over the standard package. They bring more food than you can eat.
The show included several interactive segments in addition to hula dancing. People celebrating anniversaries were invited on stage, and during the wedding hula dance, couples celebrating their anniversaries also danced, creating a charming, foreign atmosphere. There was a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary!
During the fire show, the park goes completely dark, but looking up, you can see a sky full of stars, which was beautiful.
While I wouldn't say it's a must-visit since it's quite far from Waikiki, if you're staying around Ko Olina, definitely check it out. My 70-year-old mother also enjoyed it very much.

My daughter said she wanted to ride a horse, so I did some research and found good reviews about this place, so I made a reservation. On the day of our visit, we arrived in about an hour by rental car. Our family of four started on time. We rode along the coast and into the woods. There were moments when the horses stopped to eat grass, but generally, they followed the horse in front of them. We returned to the coast, where we took many photos. We rode for just over an hour. All the staff were cool women. Our guide was Jessie. As soon as we finished, she took two horses to practice polo. Tips were separate, so I had prepared some, but she left quickly, and when I asked another staff member to give it to her, they called her back. It’s a bit challenging to get there without a car, but it’s a wonderful place! I definitely want to go again and ride a horse! On the way back, we even saw a beautiful rainbow, making it an unforgettable day! 😊
娘が馬に乗りたいと言うので調べたところ、こちらの評判が良かったので申し込みました。
当日はレンタカーで1時間程で着きました。
家族4人で時間通りにスタートしました。海岸を通り林の中へ。途中馬たちが草を食べ出し止まってしまうこともありましたが、基本的には前の馬に付いて歩いてくれます。また海岸に戻り、そこで写真を何枚も撮って頂きました。
1時間強は乗っていました。スタッフは皆格好いい女性です。私たちの担当はジェシーさん。私たちが終わるとすぐに、2頭の馬を連れ、ポロの練習に行かれました。チップは別途となっていたので、用意していたのですが、すぐに行かれてしまい、他のスタッフに「渡して下さい」と言うと、呼び戻してくれました。
車がないと行かれないので、ちょっと大変ですが、素晴らしいところです‼是非また行って、馬に乗りたいです❗
帰りはきれいな虹も出て、忘れられない1日になりました~☺
