Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

First time Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

First time a Hawaii and loved the luau. We went for the VIP seats and loved the service. The activities before hand was great and put you in the Hawaii spirit.
Booking through the computer was easy and a card was waiting for us at our hotel with a reminder and pick up time.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞<現地集合可/コオリナ・リゾート内>

Truly a "paradise"! 本当に“パラダイス”!!

Reviewed by: ★Kailani★

On December 31st, I thought about wrapping up the year and chose the "Paradise Cove Luau"! I had been wanting to experience the traditional Hawaiian feast, "luau," for a while and had researched several places. In the end, I truly believe I made the right choice with "Paradise Cove Luau."

On the shuttle, everyone except us was foreign, and the guide on the bus spoke only English, but the atmosphere around us lifted our spirits, and we were able to enjoy the ride.

After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at "Ko Olina Resort." As expected from a resort, just being there made us feel incredibly comfortable and the ambiance was fantastic!

We received a welcome drink, a "Mai Tai," and took commemorative photos. From there, we could participate in various attractions and enjoy some free time. After that, the dinner show began.

In the second half of the show, the audience was invited on stage to dance, and there were segments that deepened the bonds of couples celebrating their weddings, whether newlyweds, five years, ten years, or twenty years together. I especially recommend this for couples.

After the show, we returned to the bus and were taken back to our hotel in Waikiki. On the way back, the guide entertained us again, and we truly had a wonderful time!

12月31日、1年の締めくくりに・・・と思い、この「パラダイスコーブルアウ」を選びました!
ハワイの伝統的な宴「ルアウ」を、前々から体験したいと思い、何箇所かリサーチしていました。
結果、この「バラダイスコーブルアウ」を選んで、本当に良かったと思っています。

送迎つきでは、往復は私達以外全て外国人、バス内のガイドも全て英語でしたが、周りの雰囲気、ノリで行きのバスからテンションup↑で行く事ができました。

バスで1時間弱、着いたところは「コオリナリゾート」。
リゾートと言うだけあって、そこに居るだけでも心地よい気分になれるほど、雰囲気抜群!

ウェルカムドリンクの「マイタイ」を貰い、記念撮影。
そして、そこから各自好きなアトラクションに参加、見物と、暫くは自由行動。
その後、ディナーショーが始まります。

ショーの後半は、観客も舞台に上がってダンスを踊ったり、
新婚さん、5年目、10年目、20年目=・・・と夫婦の絆を改めて深め合える演出もあり、特にカップルで参加するにはほんとお勧めだと思います。

そして、ショーが終わって、おのおのバスに戻り、ワイキキのホテルまで送ってもらいました。
帰りのバスでも、またまたガイドさんが楽しませてくれ、
本当に楽しい一時を過ごせました♪

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour

Reviewed by: Shaina

This is a must see for anyone visiting the island of Oahu! The Luau is a feast and the Horizons show is a spectacular way to end the evening. I would suggest that those planning their itinerary, schedule this event on their last night in Hawaii, so as to end with a bang.
Also, those traveling with children will find the tour of the different villages to be extremely educational.
Remember to bring extra cash for browsing the gift shops, tipping your servers, and just in case you want to purchase that DVD recording of the Horizons show to give the folks back home a taste of the whole fantastic experience!

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Mary Siart

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.

Fun @ the Polynisian Cuktural Ctr.

Reviewed by: Elly from Massachusetts

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.

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.

polished production

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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!

Having made all the arrangements online, I was a bit nervous because this was my wife's 50th birthday celebration and we had 23 family members in attendance. The boat, food, service and ambiance were beyond my expectations! I would highly recommend this Sunset Dinner Cruise.

Great job to all those at Hawaiian Activities that had anything to do with helping me to put on such a great celebration for my wife and family.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞<現地集合可/コオリナ・リゾート内>

Paradise Cove Resort パラダイスコーブルアウ

Reviewed by: 弘康

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。

Great dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Had a great show and good food.

I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!
