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＞
お祝い好きのハワイアンの最高のショーでした。
Reviewed by: chikaqyu
ハネムーンで、ハワイにいき、ルアウをみてきました。ハワイの人達は、お祝い好きらしく、バースデーや、ハネムーン、結婚記念日などの参加者たちに対して、ショータイム中にお祝いしてくれました。参加型のショーもあり、とても楽しめました。お料理も美味しかったですが、何よりショーの前の体験コーナーも充実していて、ハワイムードを満喫する事ができました。席も、真ん中の最前列に座れて大満足のツアーでした。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
First trip to Hawaii and first Luau.
Reviewed by: Keith Kettler
This was our first trip to Hawaii and our first Luau. We didn't know exactly what to expect but we were hoping for a true Hawaiian experience. The show was more than we expected. Great entertainment and the fire dance was awesome. The buffet was very good, the entertainment prior to the main show was very good. The show was worth every penny.

From the bus ride (Bow was a great and informative guide) to the food to the great show that was put on, it was an awesome time. Never a dull moment. The staff went about and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this luau.

Reviewed by: Janet S.
The luau was a great experience for my family and I. We learned about the Hawaiian history and culture. The scenery at the luau was so pretty and relaxing. All the hosts were very nice. The performance were great! Food was very delicious! My family and I enjoyed the luau very much. I would recommend Paradise Cove to anyone who is planning to go to one.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Absolutely Amazing
Reviewed by: Callam
This was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this. To start with, the pick-up and drop off provided was punctual and hassle free. The driver and guide on the bus were very informative and friendly. On arrival communication was perfect and our day went amazing. The Luau dinner was fantastic and definitely worth it adding to the day. The Night Show was the best thing we did while in Hawaii and the seats were great.
The guide we had for the day got us through all the main attractions and was absolutely amazing.
The only advice I would give is to allow extra time to return the following day (additional entry is provided) as there is just so much to see there.

Great day eating & learning
Reviewed by: Bec M Lee Olsen
My husband and i booked this tour pretty last minute and we were so happy we did!
We were staying down at Waikiki Beach and got the bus pick up service from the Marriott which was prompt and well organised. Cousin Knox was our tour leader and kept the bus entertained and informed for the hour long trip. He was funny and accommodating.
Arrived and Cousin Knox picked up all our tickets for the day to get us started. Everything was well explained and we were off with our guides for the day. The guides did so well in the torrential rain which the Centre provided us with ponchos. Some of the activities were busy when we arrived but the guides were able to take us to other areas which were very entertaining and provided us with some insights into their cultures. The luau was very good fun to enjoy whilst eating dinner. Plenty of food and drinks. Well organised tables - we were lucky to get a table in the front.
The only suggestion would be to allow more time for lunch. We arrived at the bbq lunch and unfortunately only had 25 mins to eat as had to get to the start of one of the displays. Not enough time especially since it was a pay your own lunch.
Overall a great day from start to finish where we wwere dropped off back where we were picked up.

Paradise Cove Luau (deluxe pkg with VIP royal box seating)
Reviewed by: NTW
Enjoyed the luau! Tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. We had some confusion on pickup spot and after contacting the Customer Service, they had the bus wait for us to get to the right spot. Was very much appreciated!! Dinner was plentiful and delicious. The different productions of entertainment was delightful to watch and participate in. Paradise Cove(Ko Olina Resort) was a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an evening. Mahalo!
Note: The VIP Royal Box seating not worth the money but was a special treat.

コオリナに宿泊したので、会場まで車で行きました。デラックスは入場時にレイがもらえて、席がステージのすぐ近くで、記念写真と24ドルの売店で使えるカードをくれます。しかも食事を持ってきてくれるし、雨が降ってきたらポンチョまでくれて至れり尽くせりでした。4時半入場ですが、色々なイベントやショーが終わるまで4時間くらいかかります。その間にきれいな夕日が見れます。コオリナの夕日は絶景なのでおすすめです。

Anniversary Luau
Reviewed by: D Scales
We had a great time. Went for our three year anniversary. Everyone was friendly and there to have a good time. Food was pretty good. My picky eater toddler enjoyed it. Great for children and adults alike. The Luau gives you a brief encounter with the Polynesian culture which is enlightening and interesting.

迫力に感動しました。
Reviewed by: YUKA
日本人観光客がほとんどいてなくて、ホテルのショーとは全然違いました！ 物語りになっていて、最後は迫力に圧倒されました。
席は早いもの順に誘導されるので、チケット購入後、入り口付近に並んでおくほうがいいです。知らなかったので、後ろのほうになり、残念でした。
日が暮れるまでの間、いろんな催しがありますが、チップ必要です。
夕日は本当にきれいでした。
食事はおかわりしたいと思いませんでした。席によってはビュッフェ方式なので、高齢の方は抵抗あるかもしれません。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Cultural tour spoiled by the rain
Reviewed by: Yagman
The Polynesian Cultural Centre consists of the villages of the various people from the surrounding islands of Polynesia. Each village had a presentation which gave an insight into their culture - family and community mindedness. One of the highlights was how to make fire by "rubbing together 2 sticks of wood". There is a lot to see and do so you may not have enough time to see all of the villages. The Luau was great - food, show, drinks (no alcohol though) however we were allocated the 4pm time slot (I suspect the more expensive packages allow you to eat later). Afterwards, the night show was spectacular. Unfortunately, we chose a day where the heavens opened up and continued to rain for the whole time. On a "feel good" note, the centre was set up to employ students from the surrounding Polynesian islands so the money raised helps them fund their education.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Perfect start for our Hawaiin vacation
Reviewed by: Nina
The entry “free” Mai Tai is ridiculously watered down, which is unfortunate as it serves as a poor harbinger of events to come for the evening. Given attendance of 1000 on Christmas Eve at at least $100 per seat, you’d think they could afford to spare a little cheap rum. Anyway, the rest of the event was very well done. Food was excellent. Drinks less so. Dancing and entertainment was superb. The difference in the various packages is difficult to discriminate from the website. Essentially the higher the price the more credit you get for drinks and you get closer to the stage. We chose the orchid package, which is a reasonable compromise and I would recommend this.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Good show - cheap food - high price
Reviewed by: Mike
The best thing about this luau was the show. The fire dancing was really cool and the activities beforehand were pretty nice. It felt like the drinks had next to zero alcohol in them. The buffet was kind of done on the cheap and with over 1000 people there, it was kind of crowded. It was well organised and the staff were really friendly. If you don’t like things aimed at tourists, you should run a mile. It felt a bit like Disney goes to do a luau. Having said that, we enjoyed the evening, even if it did feel a bit like ‘organised fun’ with the forced getting to know you activities on the bus ride there. I was left wondering if it was really value for the money we paid. At $80 it was kind of expensive for watered down pina coladas and lomi lomi salmon that was mostly just chopped tomatoes with the tiniest little pieces of salmon in it. Also, I’ve seen the exact same things in the gift shop in other stores for much cheaper. All in all, the show was good but it felt like a bit of a tourist trap.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Hilarious and spectacular luau show
Reviewed by: Mr.Anonymous
I love Chief Sielu's wit, and his personality really comes out throughout the show. You can really tell he enjoys hosting the luau and loves all his guests. They also have a lot of fire knife dancers (and world champions, at that) making their fire dances probably the most impressive ones out there.
The food is good and there's a cash bar (you get a few free drink tickets based on which package you book). The only problem with this luau is that it's so far away from Waikiki and starts right after rush hour, so you might want to leave earlier (perhaps at 3pm) to beat the traffic. Alternatively you could just spend the day in Kapolei at wet n wild or Coral Crater. Parking is $5 at wet n wild.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
It was just ok
Reviewed by: The Johnson’s
It was just ok. The bus was late picking us up and we were late getting there. Traffic from Waikiki to the luau was awful. (I do realize that they can’t control the traffic but sitting in over an hour of traffic doesn’t put you in the best of moods. This luau is actually a good ways away from Waikiki.)
Upon arrival we were given our giftcards and had our pictures taken. Nothing was explained to us. We had to wander around and find things on our own. It is not very big. Looking at the pictures and descriptions it seems as if the grounds are big and there is lots to do. That’s not the case at all. Very small area and not much to do before the show at all. Also, not everyone can participate in the activities. They pre select only a handful of people.
As we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, we went with the top of the line package. I do not recommend it at all! The food that was brought to us was all pre selected. The people that went through the buffet were served very quickly (before us) and were able to get exactly what they wanted and as much of it as they wanted. We had a plate full of whatever and most of it I didn’t even want!
The show was ok, but honestly we experienced better at the bars in Waikiki.
We were very sorry we spent all that money on this luau.

Reviewed by: Miya Rollenhagen
I went here last year and when I came back with family and friends this year, I knew we would only do a luau here! From the time you walk onto the property, you are treated like family. Learning about the culture is so intriguing for all ages. The service, food and entertainment were excellent. The place is beautifully kept and all the employees seem to be happy to be a part of this experience. If I come to this island again, I will always have this stop included in my plan!
