Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Very good luau overall

Reviewed by: Mark from AK

Nice location, lots to keep you entertained, entertainers we’re good, drinks are expensive and very little alcohol in them, and there are lots of people (i.e. long lines). The food was great, and the tour guide was very friendly & funny. Very good luau overall.

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.

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.

It became a wonderful memory. 素敵な思い出になりました

Reviewed by: sai

The pickup time was slightly off, but other than that, I was very satisfied. There were no other Japanese tourists on our bus, and the staff couldn't speak Japanese, but everyone was kind and communicated well. I really felt like I was in a foreign country, and the Hawaiian show and the activities leading up to it were interesting, leaving my whole family smiling on the way back.

Inside, the welcome drink, water, and coffee were free, but everything else was charged. There was a photo opportunity with a hula dancer upon entry, and we received a QR code for free. Later, three printed photos came out, but they cost $20.

送迎時間が少しずれましたが、それ以外は大満足でした。私たちのバスには他に日本人観光客はおらず、スタッフの方も日本語が話せませんが、皆さん優しくコミュニケーションをとって下さりました。異国にいるなと実感でき、ハワイショーやそれまでのアクティビティも面白く、家族みんな笑顔で帰ってきました。

※
中では、ウェルカムドリンク、水やコーヒー類はフリードリンクでしたが他は有料です。
入場の際にフラダンサーとの記念撮影があり、QRコードは無料で頂けました。後で3枚現像された写真が出てきますが、$20でした。

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.

Paradise Cove is definitely paradise!

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!

All I could hope for in a luau

Reviewed by: Charlene

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. We attended Paradise Cove Luau after reading numerous online reviews and asking for recommendations from some of the island residents. It was everything we could have hoped for. We paid for the royal box and it was worth every penny. The view of the stage was excellent, and the table service was very professional. The food and drinks were very good and there was a very nice variety of food. The view at Paradise Cove was right off of a post card. Perfect. I can’t say enough good things about our evening at Paradise Cove. Highly recommend.

It might be fun for some people. 人によっては楽しいかもしれません

Reviewed by: poyopoyo

I don't speak English, but I participated in this tour knowing that there would be no Japanese speakers or Japanese people present. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I used Veltra three times, including this one.

For the first two times, the pickup was early, and a Japanese person came to greet us, but for this tour, no bus resembling the one we were expecting arrived despite waiting. The voucher mentioned to call if the pickup didn't arrive after 10 minutes, but it was in English. I became quite anxious, but the bus arrived about 20 minutes later.

I was quite flustered, but once we arrived safely at the destination, I was glad I had read the reviews thoroughly, as I understood the general itinerary and had no trouble at all. Depending on the purpose, some people might find it very enjoyable, but since it was a bit far and long, it might be good for just one time. I think we won't repeat it, especially since our next stay will likely be short as well. We gathered at 3:30 PM and returned to the hotel around 10 PM.

For those who want to get away from Japanese people and see an authentic luau show, I recommend this tour.

英語がしゃべれないけれど、このツアーは日本語が通じない、日本人がいないというのは承知の上参加しました。ハワイが初めてだったので、今回はベルトラさんをこれを含めて3回利用させて頂きました。
2回ともお迎えは時間前で日本人が来てくれたのですが、このツアーは待てど暮らせどそれらしいバスが来ません。10分たっても迎えが来ない場合は電話してくださいとバウチャーに書いてありましたが、英語対応とのこと。すごく不安になりましたが、20分後ぐらいに到着。
かなり焦りましたが、無事に現地到着し、口コミを熟読していたのが幸いし、現地でのだいたいの行程は理解していましたので全く困ることはありませんでした。
目的、人によってはすごく楽しいと思いますが、少し遠いし、長時間なので１回ぐらいは良いかもしれませんが、おそらく次回も短い滞在期間となると思うので私達はリピはないなと思います。集合15時半でホテルに戻って来たのは22時過ぎぐらいでした。
とにかく日本人から離れたいという方、本格的なルアウショウにが見たい方にはおすすめです。

This experience was great as the staff and entertainers were all interactive with guests. Everyone was experienced and understanding if guests did/didn't want to dance. In fact, since I am typically shy and not the center of attention it was great to get involved, embarrass my self, and walk away with others in the same situation not feeling guilty. Great and personable staff with a sense of humor and pride in their culture. Thanks!

I was able to enjoy various experiences. いろんな体験ができて楽しめました

Reviewed by: やんみー

I participated in this experience to let my children enjoy the essence of Hawaii. Of course, there was Hawaiian dance and a fire show, but we also enjoyed various activities before the show! We got to ride canoes, have tattoos drawn, and play some old games. The mango ice served in a coconut shell, which can be purchased with the Cove Card, was exceptional!

Since the facility is located at Ko Olina Beach, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset before the show, fully immersing ourselves in the Hawaiian atmosphere. At the end of the show, there was an invitation for those who wanted to dance on stage, and my child participated. It made for a wonderful memory!

However, the buffet was a bit lacking; for those who aren't used to overseas cuisine, it might feel "..." The rice was available but a bit dry, and the cake was too sweet. Well, this is Hawaii (overseas), after all! The chicken was delicious. There are also Hawaiian-style cocktails available for purchase with the Cove Card, so definitely try those!

By the way, I participated without transportation, but the voucher from Veltra was simply submitted at the ticket booth. In exchange, we received the Cove Card. The process was smooth, and the parking lot was spacious.

子供にハワイらしさを体験させよう～と思い参加しました。ハワイアンダンス、ファイヤーショーはもちろんですが、ショー前のいろいろなアクティビティーも楽しめました！カヌーに乗ったり、タトゥーを描いてもらったり、昔のゲーム？を楽しんだり、コーブカードで購入できるココナッツの殻に入ったマンゴーアイスは格別でした！
施設がコオリナビーチにあるのでショーの前に夕陽もキレイにみることができてハワイらしさを大満喫できます。ショーの最後に舞台で一緒に踊りたい人～～と声かけがあり子供も参加していました。良い記念になりますよ♪
ただ、ビュッフェはイマイチというか、海外の食事があわない人には「・・・・」というカンジです。ご飯はありますがパサパサしています。ケーキは甘すぎ。ま、これがハワイ（海外）ですが笑　チキンは美味しかったです。コーブカードで購入できるお酒はハワイらしいカクテルもあるので是非そちらを！
ちなみに送迎ナシで参加しましたが、ベルトラさんのバウチャーはチケットブースに提出するだけでOKでした。代わりにコーブカードをくれます。手続きもスムーズでした。駐車場も広かったです。

It was open until 9 PM, so my younger child got tired and fell asleep halfway through, but my older child seemed to enjoy it. Before the show, there were many free activities (like tattoos, boating, and making leis), and the kids were really happy.

Even though it was mostly in English, the kids got to go on stage and dance together, and adult guests were invited on stage too, so it was fine even if we didn't understand everything. Later, the taxi driver mentioned that this place and the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center are great.

夜９時までなので、下の子が疲れもあって、途中で寝てしまいましたが、上の子は楽しんでいたようです。ショーの前には、無料のアクティビティ（タトゥー、ボート、レイ作りなど）が沢山あって、子供達も喜んでいました。
英語ばっかりですが、子供達が壇上に上がって、一緒に踊ったり、大人のゲストも壇上に招かれたり、わからなくても大丈夫でしたよ。
後でタクシーの運転手さんが、こことポリネシアンセンターのルアウがいいと言ってました。

I went to Paradise Cove luau with my husband and I had a wonderful time.
Before serving the food there are a lots of different activities & games that you can participate and learn about the Hawaiian Culture. It was really cool to see them climbing the coconut tree and to play the hawaiian games. I even got a fake Polynesian tattoo!
The food was delicious, the buffet offers a huge selection and there are option for all kinds of tastes. The drinks are nice too.
I was afraid of not being able to see the show very well but my seats were really good. The show is very entertaining and the dancers are very talented. My favorite part was the fire-knife dancing!
Overall it was very pleasant and romantic evening! The location is beautiful and you can take great sunset pictures! Thank you VELTRA for helping me set up the perfect night to celebrate my 1st year anniversary!

Reviewed by: Not my first luau...

The overall experience was a little cheesy...For the good news--I give 5 stars for the dancing during the main hula show--the dance crew were truly amazing and very athletic! The food was tasty but the overall presentation reminded me of the buffet line at a high school cafeteria. And there was no coconut cake which was very disappointing! The M.C. For the entertainment was straight off the Love Boat...he made me chuckle but not in a good way! The pre dinner activities went on for way too long, and I felt like I was in a cattle line being herded from one presentation to another. I would have liked to come just for the dinner and show, but then you risk being assigned a bad seat as it was first-come-first-seated. The property was gorgeous with spectacular views of the sunset. Maybe if this was my first luau I would have enjoyed it more, but I left feeling kind of...meh...
