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>

Full of Hawaiian vibes! ハワイ感たっぷり♪

Reviewed by: waiwai

We participated as a family.

Instead of taking a bus tour, we headed to the venue by rental car, but we ended up being late due to traffic on both the local roads and the highway. Although my English is not very good, I wanted to inform them that we would be arriving late, so I tried calling and was able to speak with a staff member who understood Japanese. We were about an hour late, but we were able to enter the venue without any issues.

As I read in other experiences, there were no other Japanese people besides us. Most of the men were wearing aloha shirts, and the women were in muumuu dresses.

Before the show started, there was an introduction to the traditional culture of the islands, and the atmosphere gradually built up. Around 6:30 PM, the Hawaiian band started performing on the stone bench stage, followed by dance performances and a presentation of the food. At 7:00 PM, we enjoyed a buffet dinner while the main stage show began. The singing, dancing, and fire show were all wonderful, and we truly enjoyed Hawaii. After the powerful Polynesian dance, those who wanted to join went up on stage and danced energetically, which was very entertaining.

The food was not very tasty. As someone who struggles with English, I wondered what the delicious-looking drink with fruit that others were having was, but I couldn't figure it out from the drink menu, so I ended up ordering a Corona beer. I had some drink tickets left over.

Despite the language barrier, it was a very satisfying experience, and my whole family had a great time. I definitely want to participate again on our next trip, but this time I would like to join a bus tour. I heard that there is heavy traffic in the evenings, so I recommend that those driving allow plenty of time before departure.

家族で参加しました。

私たちはバスツアーではなく、レンタカーで現地に向かいましたが、下道もハイウェイも渋滞で遅刻参加になってしまいました。
英語が不得意ですが、到着が遅れることを連絡したかったので電話をかけてみると、日本語が分かるスタッフに代わってもらえました。
1時間ほど遅刻しましたが問題なく会場に入れました。

体験談で読んだ通り見たところ日本人は私たち以外一人もいませんでした。
服装はほとんどの男性はアロハシャツ、女性はムームーを着ていました。

ステージが始まる前に、民族の伝統文化の紹介などがあり、少しずつ盛り上がってきました。
18:30くらいから石のベンチのステージでハワイアンバンドの演奏が始まり、ダンスや、料理の紹介があり、19:00からはビュッフェディナーをいただきながら、メインステージでのショーが始まりました。
歌、ダンス、ファイアーショー、どれもすばらしく、ハワイを堪能できました。
迫力のポリネシアンダンスの後は、希望者がステージに上がり、ノリノリでダンスをしてとてもおもしろかったです。

料理は美味しい物はありませんでした。
英語の不得意な私は、他の人が飲んでいた、フルーツが乗ってる美味しそうな飲み物は何かなーと思いながら、ドリンクメニューを見ましたがよくわからず、結局コロナビールを頼んで飲みました。ドリンクチケットは余りました。

言葉の不自由はあったものの、とても満足できる内容で、家族みんなとても楽しませていただきました。
次回の旅行の際も是非参加したいと思いますが、次回はバスツアーに参加したいと思います。
夕方は毎日渋滞するらしいので、車で参加の人はかなり余裕を持って出発されることをおすすめします。

It was very good! とてもよかったです!

Reviewed by: masami

I was able to experience the cultures of various Polynesian countries. On the deluxe tour, we explored the park in a small group. The female tour guide was very dedicated and left a good impression. We watched shows from Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, and Tonga, but the show from Tonga was particularly interesting. The post-dinner show, "Ha: Breath of Life," was breathtaking. It was a powerful performance that you wouldn't believe was put on by amateurs (students). The story allowed us to reaffirm the cultures of the countries we learned about during the day, and it made me want to visit the attractions we couldn't get to. The fire dance was also impressive. We were even able to visit the backstage where the students were preparing for the show, which was very moving. The dinner was delicious, and the ice cream we received during the show was also tasty, making it a great value for the cost. There are more highlights than I expected, so if you're renting a car, I recommend taking your time to explore from the opening. However, even spending a whole day, it's quite challenging to see all the village shows. It would be good to prioritize the villages you're interested in or the shows recommended by the tour guide when planning your schedule. The tickets are valid for three days (with paid parking), so for those staying longer, it might be a good idea to split the visit over two days. Through this tour, I became interested in Polynesian countries other than Hawaii. I immediately started looking up how to get to Tonga. I want to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center again.

ポリネシアのさまざまな国の文化に触れることができました。デラックスツアーでは少人数のグループで園内をまわりました。ツアーガイドの女性も一生懸命で好感が持てました。ハワイ、ニュージーランド、サモア、トンガ、のショーを見ましたが、なかでもトンガのショーは面白かったです。ディナー後のショー(ハァ:ブレスオブライフ)は圧巻でした。アマチュア(学生)が演じているとは思えないほど迫力ある舞台でした。昼のうちに園内で学んだ諸国の文化を再確認できるストーリーになっており、回りきれなかったアトラクションへ「行ってみたい」という気持ちにさせられました。ファイアーダンスも見事でした。学生達がショーの準備をしているバックステージへもお邪魔することができ、胸が熱くなりました。ディナーもおいしく、ショーの途中でもらえるアイスクリームもおいしくてコストパホーマンスは高いと思います。思ったより見所いっぱいなので、レンタカーの方は開園からのんびり見てまわるほうがよいと思います。ただし、一日いてもすべての村のショーを見てまわるのはとてもたいへんです。興味のある村、もしくは、ツアーガイドオススメのショーを優先してスケジュールを組むとよいでしょう。チケットは3日間有効になるので(有料駐車場も)、滞在期間の長い方は2日に分けてみるのもよいと思います。今回のツアーを通して、ハワイ以外のポリネシアの国に興味を持ちました。さっそくトンガへの行き方を調べました。ポリネシア文化センター、また行きたいです。

Fun but felt rushed.

Reviewed by: UtahMommy

This luau was really fun and I am glad we chose it over the PCC so we could have the real mai tai's! Our guide (cousin Kahale) was a hoot! He made the trip so enjoyable and deserves a raise. We got stuck in traffic so it took forecer to get there and then we were rushed to try and do the activities which were just hum drum to begin with. But the absolutely stunning scenery on the beach where it is located is to die for and made up for the lack of interest in activities. I enjoyed the food and the show very much and would defiantely go back and take the whole family.

Lovely Luau

Reviewed by: Russ & Barb

We reviewed this Luau on the internet prior to our arrival and felt that this was the one and we were sincerely not disappointed. In fact, this was our second Luan during our stay and I assure you that this one is and was the best.

Not only was our Luau experience the best the drive to and from the event on bus #5 was fantastic. The driver was U and the guide/orator was Pompani (I think). You should have at least ten (10) Pompani’s since he made the experience a time to remember.

He was courteous, experienced, and a real performer. He was able to make the trip to and from one to remember. In addition the Luau, performance, food, and location were fantastic. We would sincerely recommend this to anyone that we will interface with if they want places to go on their Hawaiian vacation.

Please let Pompani know that he made the evening one to remember and do whatever it takes to keep him on your staff.

What you'd want in a Luau!

Reviewed by: Catherine

I loved the Paradise Cove Luau! It's location is beautiful! A sunset party on a private beach is a great way to start off your Hawaiian vacation! I went to the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center years ago, and the festivities were very nice, but there were no cocktails, and no beach. At Paradise Cove, it really felt like a party. I even got a Hula certificate for coming on stage to learn! We booked the Orchid (middle) level, and it seemed just right. I love the orchid leis that we received. If there was one thing I would like to change, it was that even though 3 drinks were "included" in my package, almost every drink still cost $1-$6 extra. I expected only to pay gratuity out-of-pocket when I got there. Overall, though, I had a great time!

Reviewed by: とん

I was a bit anxious after reading that there were mostly English speakers and few Japanese participants, but the staff explained things in broken Japanese, which was helpful. Although the conversations on the bus were mostly in English, they provided a schedule in Japanese, which made me feel at ease.

In the session I attended, there were three groups of Japanese participants. Even though I don't understand English at all, I was able to enjoy the overseas atmosphere and had a valuable experience.

Before the show started, we had the opportunity to go canoeing and encountered sea turtles. It was a fun and delightful experience, including getting a tattoo.

There was also time to have a meal before the show began. The fried chicken was excellent. During the show, when my drink ran out, the staff kindly went to get more drinks, allowing me to fully enjoy the show at a leisurely pace.

体験談に英語ばかり、日本人が少ない。と書き込みがあり、不安でしたが、スタッフの方が片言の日本語で説明してくださいますし、バスの中でのお話は、英語だらけですが、一日のスケジュールを日本語案内のメモを配ってくださいますし、安心です。
私の参加した回は、3組の日本人の方がいました。
英語の全くわからない私でしたが、海外の雰囲気・ノリを味わえ貴重な体験でした。
ショーが始まるまで、カヌー体験をしウミガメに出会えました。タトゥーを書いてもらったり、楽しいうれしい体験でした。

ショーが始まる前に食事をとりに行く時間があります。フライドチキン絶品です。ショーの最中に飲み物がなくなるとスタッフの方が気を利かして飲み物をとりに行ってくださり、ゆっくりとショーを満喫できました。

Reviewed by: Lyn Ann

A bit overrated and touristy, im a vegetarian who does eat seafood but there were no vegetarian options so veggies beware as you;ll be stuck only eating salad, activities sound a lot more interesting on paper then in person, consists of a 2 second canoe ride in a circle near the shore, throwing a stick at a bale of hay, someone making you a flower bracelet, and throwing a wooden thing and a stone against a board, the actual luau dance was pretty good and the fire dance was amazing, dinner should be served sooner and the real entertainment should start earlier, the bus took forever to get there and your free mai tai just tastes like juice and no alcohol. drinks were way overpriced but is nice that your ticket includes 3 free drinks but our quite small and they loor people into buying bigger ones for 3 dollars each so they make the money back. all in all it was good to experience it for my first time but it was very unauthentic and cheesy to us.

The content was good. 内容はよかったです

Reviewed by: tommy

This was my first time participating. My high school child, who tends to be lazy about everything, was with me, but they didn't get bored or fall asleep and watched until the end. They were a bit sleepy at the beginning, though...

However, the food at Gateway was not great. I think having too high expectations is not good.

The biggest complaint I had was that it said, "You can participate by handing the voucher to the Japanese staff," but I couldn't find where the Japanese staff were. When I asked someone nearby, they gave a vague explanation, and I ended up wandering around without really understanding, which was exhausting.

By the way, if you go by rental car, the parking fee is $8.

今回初めて参加しました。
何でも面倒くさがる高校生の子供が一緒だったのですが
退屈がることもなく眠ることもなく、最後までみていました。
最初の方は少し眠たかったのですが・・・。

I would like to comment on the evening show. At first, I thought it somewhat resembled the story of The Lion King when I saw the pamphlet, but it was completely different. It was an activity to preserve Polynesian culture, and various countries' dances were interwoven, allowing us to see a highly polished show. Next time, I want to see it from the front row.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

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!

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.

I participated in the standard tour in the afternoon. 昼からのスタンダードツアーに参加しました

Reviewed by: ひね

【Entrance】Our group went directly to the venue, but it seemed that most participants arrived by tour bus. The Japanese staff member we first approached didn't seem to know the entry procedures well, which caused a bit of a delay.

【Activities】The show is conducted in English, with a Japanese guide interpreting nearby. However, since our group had over 30 people and only one guide, if you sit far from the guide, you can hardly hear the Japanese translation. If you don't understand the language, it really diminishes the enjoyment, so I recommend that those who are not confident in English sit close to the guide.

By the way, the tour led by the guide ended with options: 1. Visit a Mormon church, 2. Watch a movie at a cinema, or 3. Follow the guide to see a fire-making and coconut-splitting show. We chose option 3, and the performer in the show had a hilarious character. I'm glad we picked this option.

【Food】The buffet style was not terrible in taste, but it wasn't exceptionally good either. The atmosphere felt like a cheap buffet. It might be appropriate for the price? That said, there was a good variety of meat dishes and desserts, so I think it's great for those who prioritize quantity over quality. The purple sweet potato dish at the salad bar was quite tasty.

【Evening Show】It was completely different from what I imagined; it was a genuine arena theater. The set was large and impressive. However, since it was in a play format, I found myself dozing off quite a bit during the performance. (Everyone in my group was dozing off too.) Personally, I would have preferred to see a simple, vibrant dance or show.

【Overall】I think it’s a good facility to experience the atmosphere of Polynesia.

【入場】私たちのグループは直接現地まで行きましたが、ツアーバスでの参加の方がほとんどなのか、最初に訪ねた日本人スタッフの方は手続きをよく知らなかったようで入場にちょっと手間取りました。

【アクティビティ】英語でのショーを日本人ガイドがそばで
通訳するというスタイルなのですが、私たちのグループは30数名で一人のガイドなので、ガイドさんから離れた席に座ってしまうと日本語はほとんど聞こえません。
言葉が理解できないと楽しさ半減なので、英語が苦手な方はぜひガイドさんの近くに席を取ることをお勧めします。

ちなみにガイドさんによるツアーの最後は選択性になっていて、1.モルモン教の教会を見る 2.映画館で映画をみる 3.そのままガイドさんについて火起こしとココナツ割りのショーを見る というものでした。
私たちは3を選択したのですが、このショーのパフォーマーのおかまキャラでとても面白かったです。これを選択して良かったと思ってます。


【料理】ビュッフェ形式で、味はものすごくまずいわけではありませんが、ものすごくおいしいわけでもない。といった感じです。雰囲気も、安いビュッフェという感じ。値段相応かな?
とはいえ、肉料理やデザートも豊富にあるので、質より量を重視の方にはいいと思います。
けっこうおいしかったのがサラダのところにあった紫芋の金時みたいなもの。

【夜のショー】想像とは全然違い、本格的なアリーナ劇場でした。セットも大がかりでびっくり。
ただ、お芝居形式なので途中かなりウトウトしてしまいました。(同行者もみんな途中寝てました^^)
私としてはできれば単純に華やかな踊りやショーが見たかったですが・・

【総合】ポリネシアの雰囲気を味わうのにはいい施設だと思います。

ほぼ丸1日を費やしますが、拍子のスケジュールで無駄なく過ごせました。良くできた内容ですので、まだ参加されてない方、一度はお勧めです。ミクロネシアの歴史もコンパクトながら上手くまとめてあって、楽しい1日を過ごせました(^^)
