Wonderful way to see history

Transportation was first rate and our driver was GREAT! She was so knowledgeable on the city and gave up tips along the way. The tour was timed perfectly - we didn't feel rushed. Would highly recommend it!

Reviewed by: Michele

This was worth the hour drive from the North Shore! The premium package is definately the way to go! We had a great time. Loved the chicken (pork was a little salty for my taste). All you can eat was great for the price. I would go back. The sunset is beautiful. Great place for family pictures.

Great Luau!

Reviewed by: Krystal

This was by far one of the greatest honeymoon activities my husband and I did. If you decide to choose this luau, it is definitely worth the money to get the VIP front row seating. No waiting in line, and you are right by the stage! Definitely worth the money hula and fire dancer were awesome!

They had a LOT of activities going on at the same time to keep everyone entertained. Plenty of good food. It was difficult to see the stage show from the regular seating. You may want to consider upgrading.

Monday evening Luau

Reviewed by: Married 13 years

We had a wonderful time. There were a lot of children there and the staff used quite a lot of sexual innuendo so I would not take my children. Was not crowded. We got to do quite a few of the activities and crafts which was fun. I felt pampered and the night was romantic. The pork is out of this world. Pleanty of food. Music and dancing were fabulous.

Note:get to know your camera and practice taking photos at dusk with moving images. Otherwise when you get home your photos willl be all blurry.

Paradise Cove Luau - July 2010

Reviewed by: RC

As a first time visitor to Hawaii ,I was not sure what to expect from a Luau. The Luau actually begins on the bus ride to Paradise Cove. We were greeted, welcomed and entertained by our host, "Cousin Bronson." He told funny stories and jokes and explained what to expect before we arrived to our destination. This made everyone feel "connected" and a part of the "family."

Paradise Cove Luau was enjoyable and it was a great experience for all of us. The Paradise Cove entertainers were very well trained and showed a great deal of confidence and expertise in their skills and their dances. Afterwards, they were available for pictures and autographs. Paradise Cove is a wonderful setting for a luau. Very beautiful location for the setting sun pictures.

The trip back to our hotel was another entertaining ride with more stories and jokes from Bronson. I would recommend Paradise Cove Luau to anyone. Great job!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

nice experience

Reviewed by: jeannette

Going to a luau is something everyone should do at least once. Paradise cove is beautiful and the staff very friendly. The "games" are not impressive, but give you something to do. The show is good. The food is good but not labeled, so try everything. Did not like most of the native dishes, but the pork and chicken were excellent. The drinks are poured in front of you, shots measured and often generous. Unless you are a drinker, I would not say they are watered down. You can purchase bigger, "better" drinks as well. (i didn't need to.) Had the standard package and would not bother with more expensive packages, seats are all good and buffet lines move quickly and plenty of food. Bring small bills for tips. I would recommend this activity to family and friends. Some small children there, ok for kids.

A great way to spend a night!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

One thing that I was told by anyone who visited your island was to attend a Luau. After reading reviews on websites, I chose the Paradise Cove experience. I am very glad I did. My two year old granddaughter enjoyed the activities and dancing as much as my 70 year old mother. If you leave this experience hungry, you have no one to blame but yourself. The ocean view was gorgeous and the sunset that night was breathtaking. Thank You!!!

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＞

迫力ありました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

送迎付のコースを頼みましたが、皆さんが書かれている通りバスの中はほとんど外国人で、案内も英語だけでした。

ショーはさすがに迫力がありました。
デラックスで頼みましたが、席は前のほうではなく一番後ろの一段高いところでした。
途中で雨が降ってきましたが、そこには屋根がありましたので、そちらの席でよかったです。

一緒に行った人達は、本場のルアウショーが見れて良かった。
でも、英語がわからないので、わかるともっと楽しかったかな。
と言っていました。

ご飯は美味しかったです。
順番に色々持ってきていただいて、ビュッフェではなかったのですが、量は食べきれないぐらいでした。
4枚ついていたドリンクチケットはやはり飲みきれずに余ってしまい、もったいなかったです。

最高のエンターテイメント

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

今回、ファミリーをもてなすためにこのツアーに参加しました。
色々な方が書いていた通り、日本人の参加者は極端に少ないです。ゆえにバスでの移動を含め現地でも日本語は全く通じないという認識で参加する方が良いと思います。
ただし、ある程度のヒアリングと片言でも自分の意思を伝えられるだけの単語力があれば十分に楽しめます。

ショーが始まるまでの間の、レイを作ったり、ハクレイを作ったりするコーナーも、自分が日本人である事を忘れて楽しめるものでした。

サンセットと共にルアウが始まるのですが、もうそこからは驚きの連続。
フラをはじめとした、ハワイの伝統芸能やポリネシアやタヒチの踊り。
そして、一番盛り上がったファイアーダンス。

食事については、高級ディナーとは違うので、あまり期待するべきではありませんが、フライドチキンは最高に美味しかったです。

連れていったファミリーはみんな楽しんでくれました。
折角異国の地に来んだから、日本人観光客の少ない環境でめいっぱい楽しんでしまうのも有りだと思います。

風がある日だと、夜は冷え込むし、移動のバス内のエアコンがかなり利いているので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

ワイキキから会場へ向かうバスの中から、エンターテイメントでした。移動中、会場での行動説明が軽くありました。
残念ながら、日本語は期待できません。
入場時に少々のトラブルがありましたが、バスの担当の方に困っている旨を伝えると、すぐに対応してくれました。
他の参加者とも交流できたり、（希望者参加の）ステージでのフラダンスを体験したり、いい思い出になりました。
お料理も「こんな程度のもの」ではなく、美味しいものでした。
帰りのバスの降りがけにスマートにチップを渡せるといいと思います（要求はされませんが気持ちで）。

Reviewed by: MinnesotaMike

I asked my kids which activity was their favorite and they agreed that, other than surfing, this was it. The bus trip to the cove was hysterical, our guide was so wonderfully engaging and entertaining. I never thought that listening to people singing Old Macdonalds Farm could be so funny. The activities were great and the sun setting into the cove at the perfect time was idyllic. A great day.

Pay attention to conch announcement

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Enjoyed the evening with our family of 3 teenagers. We played the games and felt encouraged by the staff, did the hula, watched most of the shows. However, we missed the main ceremony because we were doing something else at the time. They had the conch shell sound for each event but did not verbally announce it therefore we missed it which was disappointing. The food and dinner show were wonderful. We drove ourselves and the place was easy to find.

It was o.k.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

レビューの評価がとても良く期待し過ぎたせいかも知れませんが、まあまあという感じでした。バスガイドさんの話は勿論面白かったものの「大爆笑」というほどではなく普通でした。ただ、参加者への心配りは素晴らしく、誕生日や記念日を祝ったり、自由行動の際も全員の行動を把握していて後で言及したり。スタッフ同士の連携の円滑さにも驚きました。料理は美味しいとは思いませんでしたが、期待もしていなかったので許容範囲。ショーはもう少しスピリチュアルなものを期待していたけれど、コマーシャルな印象を受けました。あくまで個人的な感想ですが。
私共は一昨年までアメリカに住んでいて、このようなショーやディナーに多く参加しているので、他とも比較して、評価が少し辛口になってしまったかも・・・すみません。
多分、初めての人や日ごろ異文化にあまり触れる機会のない人にとっては、新鮮で楽しいイベントだと思います。

Decided to take a chance...

Reviewed by: Kristy

Let me just say, I took a chance. I heard it was expensive, cheesy, and basically over-rated. BUT, I also heard if you do decide to do a luau, do Paradise Cove, and go all out with the Deluxe package... They were right!! (lol, PC should pay me for this review...)

As a young couple in our 20's.... WE HAD A BLAST. They do a great job making you feel special with the deluxe package: shorter lines, extra drink tickets, souvenir gifts, and we had the VERY FRONT seats (regular tickets put you WAY in the back)!!! Totally worth the extra money to be right in front and have table service (no waiting in long lines for the buffet)... The food was better than expected, drinks were...pretty. The dancing/show was what was expected-

but what we both agreed on what made PC special was the cove!!!! It was stunning, and the view is everything i imagined Oahu to be. We went on our 2nd night, and it was very romantic!!! When we went on the little canoe ride they offer, WE SAW A GREEN SEA TURTLE!!!

Luau

Reviewed by: Kathleen

We had never been to a luau so we had nothing to compare this to. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

The entertainment and activities before and after the meal were great, fun and appropriate for all age groups.

The taste and quality of food was good. The amount was plentiful. The alcoholic beverages that came with the VIP ticket was plentiful, although not very strong.

We bought the VIP package so that we wouldn't have to stand in line for the buffet. We went at a slow time in February (about 350 people) so it wasn't bad, but I would definitely recommend the VIP package in the peak season.

The lei and photos were very nice.

The fun didn't stop when we left the luau. The Paradise Cove tour guide sent to pick us up was fantastic. In the way to the luau we got to know the other people on our bus. We became a family of "cousins." On the way back we had music and humor based on our shared experiences. Our tour guide even played his ukulele and serenaded us. I didn't want to get off

The Laua is a special Hawaiian treat. It is an event that everyone should experience for the feel of the islands. The personnel was terrific, and met the quality standards we expected. The performers after dinner were Frist Class. They should be visited by many for just the pure ability of their craft. The women were beautiful, and very nice afterward to have photos etc. We have attended before and the quality is the best.

This was our first luau and it was fun, lots of activities to do prior to dinner and the main shows. Staff was all very friendly. Only that kinda sucked was that it started raining on us and it wasnt until the 3rd pour down that they began to hand out ponchos, so i guess i would recommend to bring an umbrella because all festivities do occur outdoors! Other than that, food was delicious, show was fun, staff was friendly, drinks were stiff, and there was plenty to do!!!! Would most definately recommend.

Reviewed by: Lilly

This is a MUST do for EVERYONE. We did the VIP box at the back and had the best seats in the place. The stage is still pretty close from the box and it is raised up at the same level as the VIP box so you see over top of everyone else who is in the general seating area. The VIP treatment really makes the whole experience so much better you get 2 pictures taken and don't have to wait in line ups. I couldn't imagine waiting in the long line that formed for the buffet!! There were lots of booths and activities before the dinner and show started we wandered around and watched some of the acts and tried the games they had set up, We walked out to the beach and the rocks which had an amazing view. It was just such a good time, perfect for the first night or two in Hawaii to get you in the "Hawaiian" mood!!! If you are going to do this activity do the VIP, you'll be happy you did :) The show was really good. Kids will love this but if you are a couple it is quite romantic!!
