I wish we had more time in Hawaii, because we would have done the Paradise Cove Luau again! It was such a fun time! We bought the Orchiad seats, which were right down the middle in cost, and we couldn't even finish our drink coupons! We had such a great time, taking pictures, eating, drinking, doing the hula... If you go here, you will definatly have a great and memorable time!

The young lady that was there to greet us was very nice and friendly. She offered to take our picture - a thoughtful gesture. It was a surprise for my husband and he enjoyed it very much. Thank you!

I was told this was the most authentic luau on Oahu. The actually dinner was a bit crowded and the stage show was too loud and pretty boring. The buffet offered a variety of dishes but I had to eat from the kids side because that menu only offered the vegetarian option that actually had nutritional value.
When booking this trip it would have been nice to know up front that the cultural center was run by mormons so therefore there was no alcohol or caffeine available. The night show was worth seeing...very well done...just as good as a play in NYC.
Our driver picked us up 15 minutes late then proceeded to wait another 20 for 2 people who were on the list and were not there yet. Because of this we were unable to get the tour of the center that we paid for and they would not issue us tickets to come again some other day. If I could do it all over again I would go the full day, pack food and see the evening show. Probably rent a car and take a break down the street on the beach.

The girl that greeted us was very friendly and we got our first impression of the Aloha Spirit. I ordered the lei as a surprise for my wife. She was very surprised and thrilled to start her trip with flowers. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Hawaii; especially if this is your first trip or a special occassion such as a honeymoon. Mahalo and Aloha!

Save this for the end of your trip and you will go home with a smile. Paradise Cove is a great place and everything was planned to perfection. The staff is top notch and the FOOD was GREAT !!. Just when you think it could not get any better, the night show begins under the stars.. Simply Perfect.

We had a very positive experience........but found we missed out on a few activities, there was so much going on.
The food was good, but the cocktails were very light on the booze for the price.
Staff were excellent!

My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!
As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.
I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!
My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.
The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.
The Travel DRS give a 5**** to Hawaii Activities.
I will let other Travel Agents know about this site!
Customer Service is professional, helpful and respond the same day to any messages left for them. The website is user friendly and documents have easy accessibility.

Would suggest upgrading to mid level. Worth the service you get. The entertainment is exceptional. My eleven year old granddaughter enjoyed it as much as her Mom and Grandmother.
Participate in the activities, loads of fun.

Exceeded our expectations. Never a dull moment from twelve noon to the end of the show. Be sure you get a guide. The guest-participation activities were a particular treat -- spear-throwing, poi ball twirling, drums, it was all great fun. And the evening show was truly spectacular. This was well worth the money and well worth the trip to the North side of the island.

I took my girl on this 3 star dinner cruise and we had a really great time. She thought watching the sunset out by diamond head was really romantic - bonus points for me! I never ate a whole lobster before and it was awesome. The show was pretty sweet too because it is a small stage and they are really close to you and they have cool costumes. Thanks for a great night!

We went as a family. It was very good. We had a great time. Everything was very entertaining. There was enough time to go around and involve yourself in any of the different activities that you may want to without making feeling rushed or too long either where you might start thinking let's move this along. The backdrop of the ocean was breathtaking. There was a fantastic sunset which made for the best photos of a sunset over water I have ever taken.
The show during the dinner was very good and so colorful. The staff was friendly and cordial.
Only one suggestion...the drink coupons that can be used anytime. We and several people around us did not realize that you need to save one drink coupon for your meal. If you use up all your drink coupons before the meal then you have to by your drink for your meal...sodas being $3.00 each....so plan ahead if you want to use all you drink coupons before the meal. Food was very good...I especially liked the pig...it was yummy!
