Paradise Cobra Au パラダイスコーブルアウ

Reviewed by: Kin_kin_T

I decided on this activity after seeing posts from people who had participated before. It's true that if you don't speak English, you might feel a bit lost at first since all the explanations are in English. However, once you get there, there are various events leading up to the actual dinner and show, such as making bracelets and crowns with flowers. You will need to give tips, so it might be a good idea to prepare a few $1 bills. The time flew by. My family participated, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Since everything was in English and most of the participants were Americans, it was nice to experience the unique vibe of America. Including the pick-up time, it takes about half a day, so it might be wise to plan with some extra time. I highly recommend this option. Both options I booked through Alan were great!

以前参加をされた方の書き込みを見て、このアクティビティに決めました。確かに英語ができないと説明も全て英語なので、全く理解できないと最初はとまどうかもしれませんが、現地にいってしまえば実際のディナーとショウまで、色々な催しものがありので（花でブレスレットを作ったり、冠を作成したりとう、チップを上げなくてはなりませんので、$１を何枚か準備していかれるとよいかも）時間はあっと言う間でした。家族で参加したのですが、皆とても楽しめたようでした。全てが英語で、アメリカ人の参加者がほとんどだったので、アメリカの独特ののりのよさも味わえてよかったみたいでした。送迎時間も含めて、半日かかるので、余裕をもって予定をたてるとよいかも。すごくお勧めのオプションでした。アランで申し込んだオプションは二つともよかったです！

Paradise Cove Luau Show パラダイスコーブ　ルアウショー

Reviewed by: ハワイ6回目さん

This was my second time participating, and I felt it had been upgraded compared to two years ago. First, the guide on the shuttle bus made us laugh (in English). Upon arrival, we took photos with the dancers (you can purchase them later for $15 if you like). There were about two hours before the show started, filled with a variety of activities such as canoeing, tattoos, hula dance lessons, and lei making, so there was no chance of getting bored. This time, we had table service for dinner (the fried chicken is exquisite, and the pork is, of course, delicious too). Six people sit at one table, and the others were Americans. It might be tough if you're not sociable and can't speak English. If you're in a group of four or more, you probably won't feel out of place (but if it's just two of you, you'll be sitting next to each other with strangers across the table).

I believe there were about 600 guests, and it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there.

I think you can enjoy it even if you can't speak English. Don't forget to tip the guide when you get off the bus, about $5 per person.

I was actually considering the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, and luckily got to see it from the sidelines the day before, but I think Paradise Cove offers better cost performance. I'm glad I participated.

今回は2回目の参加だったのですが、2年前に比べてバージョンアップした気がしました。まず、送迎バスの中でガイドさんは笑わせてくれます（英語）。着いてからまずダンサーとの写真（後で気に入れば購入、15ドル）。カヌーやタトゥー、フラダンスレッスン、レイ作りなど、ショーが始まるまで2時間ぐらいあったのですが多彩なイベントが用意されており、退屈はしません。今回はテーブルサービスでディナーを頂きました（フライドチキンは絶品です。ポークももちろんおいしいですが）。6人が一つのテーブルになるのですが、周りはアメリカ人でした。社交的かつ英語が話せないと辛いかもしれません。4人以上のグループであれば浮くことはないでしょう（二人だと隣同士になり向かいが見知らぬゲストになるので）。

確か600人ぐらいのゲストだったと思うのですが、日本人は私達だけのようでした。

英語ができなくても楽しめると思います。バスを降りる時ににガイドさんにチップをお忘れなく。一人当たり5ドルぐらいでしょうか。

実は迷っていたロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーも前日に袖からラッキーにも見ることができたのですが、パラダイスコーブの方がコストパフォーマンスはいいと思いました。参加してよかったです。

I was nervous about using this service, but things worked out great. We purchased the Deluxe Package which included 6 free alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, front row seating and tableside meal service. We were greeted with a fresh flower lei (women) and kukui nut lei (men), a mai tai drink and photos with dancers. It was everything they promised. It was on a pristine, beautiful private beach with numerous hands on activities. It was absolutely wonderful!

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Unforgettable evening!

Reviewed by: kara nelson

My fiancée took me to the 5-Star on our last evening in Hawaii and it was the perfect end to a wonderful vacation. From the moment the limo picked us up from the hotel to the time we were dropped off, the customer service was INCREDIBLE. I am so glad that he decided to book the 5-Star since the other decks looked pretty crowded and definitely not as intimate as the Super Nova Deck.

We got the Couple's Plan upgrade and we got window seating, a bottle of champagne and this great photo of us on this pretty leather cover. The maître d' and the waiters provided incredible service and the whole atmosphere was very upscale and refined.

The dinner was very scrumptious and I loved how there were many different dishes served throughout the evening. Also, I had been on other dinner cruises where they bombard you with annoyingly LOUD touristy Hawaiian music, but with the 5-Star, it was soothing jazz and I LOVED IT!

This is the PERFECT romantic dinner cruise!!!

Reviewed by: はる

It's a place with a very nice atmosphere. There are fewer Japanese people here. I was wondering what to do since there seemed to be quite a bit of time before the show, but before I knew it, time flew by as I took a walk, took photos, had some drinks, and got a lei made. I received drink tickets, but I couldn't use them all. The cocktails are generously poured, which is great for those who enjoy a drink. It seems that non-alcoholic drinks were free. During the show, you can eat, dance, chat, and take photos freely, so I think it's fun for families. Of course, couples will be even happier. Women might want to dress up a bit. You'll receive the photos taken, so it makes for great memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully understand the jokes made by the guide in English on the shuttle bus. However, you can still enjoy yourself even if you don't speak English at all. The staff can speak a little Japanese, so there’s no trouble communicating. They are very considerate. On this day, I was able to take wonderful sunset photos. Silhouettes of people against the backdrop of a red sky and palm trees. It's a show that makes you think Hawaii is wonderful.

雰囲気がとてもいいところです。日本人は少なめです。ショーまでかなり時間があるようなのでどうするのかなぁと思っていたら、散歩したり、写真撮ったり、お酒飲んだり、レイ作ってもらったりとしてたらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。飲み物のチケットを貰うのですがとても使い切れません。カクテルのアルコール量はおおざっぱに多めに入れてくれますので酔っぱらいには嬉しいです。ノンアルコールはただだったみたいだし。ショーの最中は食べたり、踊ってたり、喋ったり、写真撮ったり自由にできますので家族で行くと楽しいと思います。勿論カップルで行くとさらに幸せです。女性は少しおしゃれしていくといいでしょう。撮った写真を貰いますのでいい思い出になります。送迎のバスの中は英語なのでガイドがジョークを言ってもよく理解できなかったのが残念でした。でも英語ができないと楽しめないということは全くありません。スタッフは片言日本語ができますので意志の疎通に困ることはありません。よく気使ってくれます。この日素晴らしい日没の写真がとれました。赤く染まった空に椰子の木のシルエットを背景に写る人影。ハワイって素敵だなと思えるショーです。

i thought the luau was good, i had a pretty good time with my girlfriend. i paid more for the royal package but the only difference with the standard one is that it included a few more drinks, but since the cocktails are very small, i dont think paying the extra money is worth it. the food could be better, although the location makes up for it; the sunset doesnt get any better than that.

Wonderful

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Oh my goodness! What a way to start off your Hawaiian vacation. My wife and I attended this luau out of the many choices because it came highly recommended. As soon as you enter, they will take a pic which is free with the royal package. Then you can walk around and take part in the many games. You can also make your own lei hat and other things. It's so cool. When the activity starts, you learn a lot about hawaii tradition at several different demonstrations. Then you go to the ceremonial unconvering of the pig (try not to sit directly in the sun like we did). After that, you are seated to prepare for the show. We chose the royal box deluxe package and received all kind of goodies as well as dinner service. This package is recommended because you can see the show very well and you get served so you don't have to get up. If you want seconds, they will bring it to you. I felt like a king. THe show itself is amazing and a great experience. Oh and they will ask for volunteers

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.

Worth the drive and money

Reviewed by: Joy

Paradise Cove is a lovely location with a sunset that is amazing! We really enjoyed our visit and the luau. The food was well prepared and the buffet line was not long. We preferred the buffet because we could select what we wanted and the quantity. The only negative portion of the experience was the fact that the tables were not covered which made for a long hot day in the sun and the tables where set over the dirt and sand. Aside from that it was memorable.

It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.
