This is the best Luau and a must see!
From the beginning of the bus ride out of Waikiki to the final drop off this was a treat. Everyone going to Hawaii should see this at least once.
Cousin Mo was so funny and informative on the bus that it really made it fun. There are great activities at the Luau and you really experience the hospitality and sprit of Aloha.
This was my second time to Paradise cove and it did not dissapoint. I took my brother and he loved it.
We bought the front row tickets and had great seats....just don't expect your ticket price to deliver a top notch dinner. The food is good and the pork exceptional but not what I would spend $120 on. All the other inculsions make it really worth it.
I would go back again and again

We were greeted by our guide who made sure we were in time for all of the activities. She would have us leave a little early to get to shows that were especially popular so we could get good seats. When it was time for dinner, we opted for the prime dining instead of the luau, so I cannot comment on the luau. After dinner we had a few minutes before going to the show. The show was a fabulous way to end the evening. It was a history of Hawaii that sort of reminded me of the Broadway play, "The Lion King". I would definitely take guests who had never been to the Polynesian Culture Center. I doubt that my husband and I would go again unless we wanted to try the luau. Not because it wasn't enjoyable, but because we have already experienced it. About the staff: they were wonderful! Our guides were so protective over us that it was hard to get away from the group to buy a soda! There is no alcohol served here which suited us fine.

A luau has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I had such high expectations that I was expecting to be let down. I can honestly say that all of my expectations were met and then some.
This was the highlight of our vacation. If you have the opportunity to attend the Paradise Cove Luau, please don't miss it!

This was my first time to Hawaii and a luau. I read the reviews of the luaus available on Oahu and chose Paradise Cove. We enjoyed a beautiful ocean sunset, good food and great entertainment. I would come back and would recommend the Paradise Cove luau.

One of the sites that I will never miss out on visiting during my frequent visits to Oahu is the Polynesian Cultural Center. This is an amazing place to spend a day if you are interested in learning more about the history and culture of Polynesia in a enjoyable and entertaining way. I strongly recommend that you spend the extra money and take advantage of the full day Ambassador Package. It is certainly well worth the extra cost! With it you will spend the entire day on a small group tour given by a knowledgeable guide who will take you to all the different villages where you will learn the history and culture of that particular Island from individuals who actually grew up on those Islands. Following a full day of touring the villages, you will eat a large meal. Here, with the Ambassadors Package, you have the choice of eating at the Luau or the Prime Rib/Seafood dinner. If you have or are planning to attend another Luau while you are visiting the Islands, I would opt for th

This was an excellent show and we were so glad we attended. We actually chose to drive to Sea Park, however due to the distance and evening hours, we decided to contact Hawaii Activities to add the transportation 6 hours prior to departure. Hawaii Activities handled everything, and gave us simple instructions to hop aboard the tour bus which was a 1/2 block from where we stayed.
As for "Chiefs Luau", this was so much fun, the entertainment included so many from the crowd, and the "Chief" can definately entertain and bring so much laughter.
Plan on the early activities and particpate. They want to share there culture which is even more fun.
With the evening show, take a light jacket as it can get breezy once the sunsets.
Camera & Video - A MUST

ただの4時間で、ビーチ、夕日、カルチャ、フラダンス、食事などいろいろ楽しめる、集大成のイベントでした。バスでの送迎もあって便利です。フラダンスのクオリティは高かったです。特に最後のファイアダンスは最高でした。
ルアウは親戚を集めて宴会を開くようなものなので、参加したら内輪だけで楽しむのではなく、周りの人と積極的にしゃべったほうがいいです。ガイドさんや司会者も、参加者皆をcousinと呼び、たびたび参加者間の交流を促してくれます。

テーブルは購入したランクのエリアで先着順にアサインされます。どの位置でもショーが見えないということは無いでしょう。
ショーが始まるまでは、アクティビティなどで時間を過ごします。
食事、ドリンクともに特筆するものではありません。あくまでショーを楽しむのがメインですので。海外ですので、ステージに上がって一緒に参加するのも楽しいですよ。

We upgraded to the full day, rather than sticking to the late entry. We wanted to have more time to check out the presentations etc. The presentations were interesting and well done. They came over as authentic rather than cheesy or Disneyesque. The staff were excellent all 'round. There were showers passing through, but it didn't take away from our day, as there were plenty of buildings/huts to head into, and showers don't seem to last too long in this part of the world. The entertainment and food at the Luau was good. It did take a long time to get to the lining up and eating part, but there were a lot of people. It would have been better if they started processing the tables through the buffet right after the unveiling of the pig, and we could just watch the entertainment as we went, instead of largely sitting for nearly an hour before anyone started lining up. The HA show was amazing, and I would recommend it too anyone going to Oahu. Overall an opportunity to learn about

12月31日ファミリーで参加、オアフは何度も行っているが、コオリナ地区は初めてなので参加しました。
迎えに来たバスに乗り込むと乗客は全部外国人、バス内の説明も英語のみ、それも弾丸のようなスピードで話すので多少英語がわかる私ですが理解できなかった。ただバスの番号等は紙に書いたものを見せながらの説明なのでわかると思います。
到着してからショーが始まるまでの間アクティビティーに参加の方法がわらなかった。食事についてはフライドチキンが味は良いがあまりに硬くてたべれない、まして母は入れ歯なのでたべれませんでした(笑)。デザートは甘すぎ!
ショーは見ごたえがあったが、私としては全体的にみてワイキキからコオリナまで行かなくてもいいかな?と言う感じです。

I have been here before, so this was my second visit. Just as amazing as the first time I was there. The students who run the programs are so friendly and knowledgeable. The day is very busy, but so much fun. Definitely worth having the tour guide. The center is kept spotless and all of the shows are enjoyable. The best place to visit to learn about the culture you are visiting. Would visit here every time I am on the island. Great trip! Luau is fun and upbeat. The night show is the best!

This was a full day. Prepare to be exhausted by the end of it. BUT it was well worth it. We paid the extra to use our guide for the day (cousin Cissy) which for sure was the best plan since we would not have seen half of the exhibits and demonstrations that he took us to had we gone it alone. Well worth the extra expense. Cousin Cissy was the best guide - he was totally passionate for his culture and very knowledgeable. He genuinely cared that we saw the best of his people. A perfect day out which ended with an amazing show - a must to see. Our only compaint was the food - it was disappointing and bland. But plenty of it so we did not go hungry.

The Polynesian Culture Center was a great experience. The representations of the countries were great. The canoe ride, the canoe parade, and the activities were very well done. Our guides, Hannah and Saydie were awesome. They really made our tour special, and were very informative. The HA fire show was amazing !
The only thing that was disappointing was the dinner. There wasn't much of a variety. I went back for seconds and there was barely any food left, and no fruit. It seemed that we were rushed throught dinner. I was very disappointed in what I thought would be an "authentic" luau.

ポリネシアン文化センターとは違う雰囲気で、ルアウ専用施設は興味津々でツアーに参加しました。
ピックアップ場所には大勢の人が並んで、人気ぶりは凄いですね。日本人観光客はは少なく、私が乗ったバスには6名だけでした。英語オンリーでしたが、ガイドのスタッフがバスの中で盛り上げていました。英語は分からなかったのですがパフォーマンスはボディーランゲージで気軽に楽しめました。
ルアウの内容は、珍しく、また、様々なアクティビティが楽しめます。そして素晴らしかったのが風景。当日は晴れていて、夕日と海岸線がハワイって感じでした。
スタッフの対応が、慣れなのか、とても良いという感じはしませんでした。サービル業なので、笑顔とかがあればもっと良かったですね。
デラックス・ディナーパッケージ(VIPロイヤルボックス席)で会場後方でした。配膳などのサービスもありました。
料理は、ルアウメニューなので、まぁまぁ食べれましたが、口に合わない人もいるかもしれません。
日本人観光客も少なく、英語オンリーなので、異文化を楽しむには、コーブは面白いとおもいます。

This was the second time that we had attended this event. The first time was in 2010 right after we got married on the beach.
This time, we brought another couple as told them just how great of an event that it would be and you would be sorry if you did not attend.
After the Luau, they both agreed that it was worth the time and money. The shops are great, the events are wonderful, the food is superb, and the show is fantastic.
I would recommend this Luau to whomever I see and/or states that they are going to Hawaii.
Last but surely not least, the lady (Bev) that was assigned to us for the evening was just the cherry on top of the Sunday. She needs to be praised for her wit, professionalism, her personality, and maybe even her dance (I would give her a 8.5).
May you continue to provide the, "Best Luau on the Island!"
Once again, "We will be back" and thank you.
