Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

Nice Dances

Reviewed by: Natalia

The food can be better, also, the ticket said it was waiter served, but It wasn't like that, it was only for the VIP tables . Also, the ticket said open seating, and they didn't let us sit where we wanted and assigned us the farthest table, where we couldn't see very well.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Natalia, I'm sorry you were disappointed, however you purchased our basic package which does not come with Table Service, or "waiter served". The Vip package comes with the Table Service for beverages and dinner. We normally offer open seating in the Original package, but due to the covid guidelines when you attended our luau, we couldn't. We had to assign tables for Tracking purposes, to know where all our guests were seated. It's a difficult task to sit people at safe distance to each other, with limited seating capacity. If you were able to book a little earlier, your seats may have been better. Even our Vip tables,..if you booked early for a certain date, the odds of you being seated in the front row would be greater. We hope you'll give us another chance on your next visit to our beautiful island, after we pass through this unusual time in our lives.
Sincerely, Germaine's Luau Ohana

I would have given Chief’s Luau a Great, because the entertainment was the best. Thee food ok. How ever I took our two boys 15 and 16. Paid adult prices. Was told by Veltra, that they could have a virgin Mai tai or coke, sprite, etc.. however they would not give the guys drinks unless I paid extra for them.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Amazing Birthday Celebration!

Reviewed by: C. Walls

We flew from Seattle and purchased the Deluxe Package to celebrate my husbands 45th birthday. I didn’t know what to expect and was wondering if I wasted my money due to a previous review stating that buying purchasing the Deluxe Package was a waste because of COVID. Well, I’m soooo glad I purchased the higher package option! We had full table service, to include drink service and our meal being delivered to us on glass plates. The other packages had to get up and get their food from the buffet area where it was pre-packaged so there was a definite distinction with the Deluxe Package. If you have never been to this luau, it’s a MUST! The food, customer service and show was phenomenal! My husband and I were totally satisfied as this luau totally exceeded our expectations!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Kind of bummed

Reviewed by: Heidi

We took my Son for his birthday, and did the deluxe package. Was exited as we would be up close to watch the show. Was sad to learn the buffet is closed, and the options of food they bring to your table is minimal. I remember coming before and there being so many options.

The pre shows are bleh. They don’t even do the ceremony of raising the pig from the ground. They just roll the pig on a cart thru the seating area.

The good was “okay” at best. Again, wish there would have been more options. Also, the table service was just for dinner. There were not enough staff members to do drink orders for us from our table. So, essentially it was a waste to do the deluxe package. Everyone else had their food brought to them as well with a less expensive package. And, the seating is close enough to where you can see the show decently from any table.

The photo they give you at the end of you/your party - we ended up with 3 of the exact same picture. Not even a minor change. It’s like they printed the same photo 2 times. And free gift was a little whine/mixed drink tumbler . Not really something my 10yo will use. Would have been nice to have a different option for the younger kids.

My opinion, don’t waste your money on the deluxe package.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Great time even through the rain!

Reviewed by: Mainland Friends

My girlfriend and I just recently attended the luau on Valentine’s Day. We were welcomed in and sent straight to our table which was set up very nicely. The show was absolutely amazing even though I feel it was a little short. It started raining pretty heavily and although we appreciated the ponchos it does seem that tents should have been built to avoid what the forecast predicted. This made it really difficult for us to enjoy our food because everything was soaked. All in all the food was decent. We did however have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for someone to notice our on the table signifier for a waitress or bartender to serve us. Fortunately it did work out in our favor as by the time our food and drinks arrived the rain had settled. The chief was extremely funny and we have an experience that we plan to take back to the mainland and talk about for years to come. If you do happen to go to the luau make sure you check the weather because I guarantee you would enjoy it more with clear skies. To the event, I was strongly suggest that pop-up tents are invested in so that customers can truly enjoy the night as expected regardless of the weather.

送迎バス付でワイキキから乗車し、ルアウを見に行きました。15分程送迎バスが遅れてはいましたが、バスガイドさんがとても車内を盛り上げてくれたり、一緒に乗っていた人達も愉快で、非常に楽しい空間でした。
コーブに到着して、ディナーショーが始まるまでの間、無料で様々な体験が出来、あっという間に時間が過ぎて行きました。ディナーショーの構成も素晴らしく、コストパフォーマンスの良いツアーだったと思います。
次回もぜひ訪れたいと思います。

私達は2月の下旬に行きました。
家族で行ったので、全員でアロハシャツを揃えて、女性はアロハのワンピースで行きました。が、食事からショーからすべて外だったので、いくらハワイでも2月は寒かったです。上着、普通にパーカーやジャンパーが必要なぐらいでした。

でも行く時からバスの中で手拍子の練習や、言葉の由来などを教えてくれて、楽しみながら行けました。
もちろん全部英語でしたが、ガイドさんが頑張って日本語で話してくれたり、身振り手振りを入れてくれるので、あまり英語が分からなくても楽しめました!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Best luau on Oahu

Reviewed by: Michael

I have been to a few different luaus in Hawaii. This one is far above and beyond any of the others. The location is beautiful right on the water. Nothing beats a sunset from the west side. The food is buffett style and the Kalua Pork is amazing. They roast the pig right there. If you are vegetarian/vegan they also have alot of options for you. The seating is on a little grassy area in front of the stage. The show put on by the hula dancers, fire dancers, and other native Hawaiians is really amazing. Best show I've seen In Hawaii. There are alot of activities to take part in before the show starts (spear throwing, get tour picture taken with exotic birds, canoeing in the cove, learn primitive fire making techniques and put your skills to the test, practice your hula skills, or do some shopping plenty of tents set up with jewelry and other little gifts. Do this Luau! You wont regret it!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

The skill demonstrations and the games were somewhat entertaining.

Reviewed by: Tom

The site is outstandingly beautiful. Seating for us, including our wheelchair bound family member, was prompt and efficient.. The food was good, and it was plentiful. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.

Praying before the meal was not appreciated. I felt that the event should have been more secular. It felt as though the program was designed for church groups, including the holding of hands, etc.

The announcer was very difficult to understand during the uncovering of the pig. He spoke too fast.

The audience participation was somewhat overdone. And the word "cousins" was overused. Overall, the entertainment was a bit cheesy.

1人で参加しました。バス50名弱でしたが、日本人は私1人でした。サンクスギビング近かったのでholidayできているアメリカ本土の方やカナダの方がほとんどでした。バスの中からガイドさんがノリノリで周りの席の人と自己紹介し合いましょうと言われ、前後、隣の方と交流を深められました(お陰で後ろの席のカナダ人老夫婦と仲良くなり帰りのバスはそのご主人と隣に座って会話盛り上がりました)
hulaの体験や、タトゥー体験、火起こし体験もでき、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ファイヤーダンスは客先でも熱風を感じるほどで、迫力満点、素晴らしかったです。観客の盛り上がりもすごくてその場にいるだけで楽しかったです!結婚60周年というご夫婦がいて会場皆でお祝いしてとても一体感がありました。ハネムーンや記念日の方は特に良い思い出作りができると思います。
英語がある程度理解できないと充分楽しめないと思いますが、外国の雰囲気を存分に味わいたいなら是非オススメです!

Royal Package - Definitely worth the extra money

Reviewed by: Jacky Daniels

My boyfriend and I went to Chiefs Luau and it was such a fun night. We are so happy we chose the Royal Package because we were in the very first row, got 3 complimentary drinks, and were first in line for the buffet. The food was really good, my favorite was the kalua pork and poi. The "chief" was hilarious and very talented. This show had performances/dances of cultures from all over Polynesia so it was really cool to see all of their differences. It was very engaging and family-oriented, the fire-knife performance was my favorite. One thing to note is to bring bug-spray! There were mosquitoes since the luau is located at a waterpark. I would highly recommend Chief's luau to anyone!

  • Imu pig (delicious)

This is my third Luau that I have been to so far and this one is by far my favorite! The crew is so nice and attentive and I loved how Chief Sielu is so family oriented. He made several points to bring guests on stage and include them in the show and they even had a special moment for two children through the Make A Wish Foundation that were there which was so sweet!
You are entertained all night long whether it's by the dancing, the Chief's jokes or the amazing fire dancers. I would also highly recommend the Royal package, we had great seats up front and were one of the first in line for the buffet.

I went with the Royal experience with my husband and 2 year old son. It was the first time Luau as a family. We absolutely loved it!!! The chief was very funny, and the show had a lot of audience engagements when the chief and his crews welcome audience up on the stage for dance and couple anniversaries. Food was very good and of course, the Mai Tai was amazingly tasty! Also, the activities before the show were really fun!!! My 2 year old son loved watching dances especially the last fire dance! He did not blink at all! I would totally recommend to everyone who has not experienced Luau but also to who wants more family oriented Luau experience.

Thank you, Chief and the crews for amazing Luau experience!!!
