Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

9/10/14 Luau

Reviewed by: Tracy

The Luau was very rushed. I did not have the opportunity to complete all the crafts while also watching and participating in the events. I would have liked if my bus had arrived earlier to give my family time to enjoy all the Luau had to offer. The food was mediocre. We loved the headbands and bracelets. The view from the Luau was absolutely beautiful.

I felt a bit of a disconnect with the staff... 少々スタッフに外れた感が・・・

Reviewed by: JUNKO

I was looking forward to the luau. I had heard that there were few Japanese guests and that it was English only, but it was disappointing that the staff who assisted us made a clear unpleasant face and spoke to other staff about how troublesome we were. Even though I couldn't perfectly understand English, I got the gist of it.

I also received a simple tattoo, and the service for that was good. The show was very impressive and wonderful, and since we had deluxe seats where food was served, it was great.

The $24 card you receive upon entry might be a good deal for those who drink alcohol, but for those who don't, you can use the remaining amount at the concession stand, although it closes early after the show, so I recommend using it before the show starts.

We walked from the nearby Aulani, and it took less than 10 minutes. If you go before 4:30 PM, you will have to wait outside. The leis you receive at the entrance (men receive kukui leis, and women receive flower leis) cannot be taken back to Japan, so I wish I had requested a kukui instead.

楽しみにしていたルアウ。日本人の利用者が少なく、英語ONLYとは聞いていましたが、対応してくれたスタッフがあからさまに嫌な顔をして他のスタッフに私たちの担当になって面倒くさい～と話しかけていたので残念でした。英語がパーフェクトに聞き取れなくともニュアンスでわかりました。
簡易タトゥーも施していただきましたが、こちらの対応はよかったです。
ショーはとっても迫力があり素晴らしく、食事もサーブしていただけるデラックス席でしたので良かったです。
入場の際にいただける２４ドル分のカード、お酒を飲まれる方にはお得かもしれませんが、お酒を飲まない人は、残りを売店で使えますがショー終了後は早めに閉まってしまうので、ショーが始まるまでに使うことをお勧めします。
近隣のアウラニから歩いたので、１０分かかりませんでした。
１６：３０前に行くと外で待つことになります。入口でもらえるレイ（男性はククイレイ、女性はフラワーレイ）日本にはお花を持ち帰れないので、ククイを希望するとよかったなと思いました。

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Chad Papa

The luau was an overall great experience. It was my 2nd time i've been here so i decided to take my girlfriend here since it was her first time in Hawaii. Good entertainment and a few small activities where you can make flower headbands, bracelets, and temporary tattoo's that are complimentary. Drinks are reasonably priced but the price of the drinks listed on there menu are of the drinks smallest size. They don't really specify on their menu that they have a s,m,l,souvenir and prices differ from that shown on the screen but I had no complaints we had a balance on a card that allowed us to have two rounds of drinks for free. Definitely have to come on an empty stomach. They provide you with enough food and you can come for seconds. Definitely would recommend going.

Took my kids a few years ago and loved it. They had so many activities prior to the buffet it was more like a hawaiian fair, so I had to go back and enjoy it solo this time. The scenery is breathtaking. The food is awesome! The staff is so very friendly and helpful, and the show is amazing!!!

Great Luau

Reviewed by: ptlytch07

This was my second Luau and while it is a very "touristy" thing to do, anyone who visits HI should at least go to one. This was a very entertaining Luau and the performers were outstanding and extremely talented. I was very impressed with the musicians who were multi-talented and did an amazing job with all the music. The food was really good and the drinks weren't bad either; however, the foo-foo drinks were pretty sweet. We paid for the "VIP" package and I'm still on the fence as to whether or not it was worth it. It was nice having your food brought to you and the extra drink coupons were a plus (we ended up having a little left on the card at the end of the night which we used for souvenirs). Also, you weren't with the big crowd, but you still have strangers at your table so don't expect to be alone. Also, you are in the back of the crowd (up higher than everyone else, but you are not up front like I expected). So, not sure if the extra money for the VIP was worth it, but overall the Luau was really fun and entertaining and we had a great night.

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Cindy McCracken

A wonderful time was had by my husband and myself. There are so many activities for everyone. Ladies can create their own head piece or wrist bands made with fresh flowers. The men threw javelins and took part in a form of Hawaiian bowling. There was activities for children. We watched the Emu ceremony (retrieving the pig from the fire pit). There was a wonderful buffet and of course the after dinner entertainment was the best. All the dancers, whether they were the girls doing the hula or the guys that were fire dancers, very professional and well trained. Best luau in town for the money.

I took my son to Hawaii for his birthday he has never been. My last trip was the first time I went to the luau at Paradise Cove and my friends and I just got the regular seating. Now I know, for this trip I got the deluxe dinner package same price as the vip covered but with the deluxe you are right at the stage area and it is wonderful!!!! They could serve hamburgers and hot dogs and it would be a wonderful time but they give you great food and all types of entertainment before the show even starts. If you plan on a dinner show while on your vacation you can't go wrong with this one!!! My next trip I will do this one again and again and again wonderful time

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＞

The level of hula dancing is amazing. フラダンスのレベルがすごいです。

Reviewed by: ちかちか

I participated because I wanted to see an authentic hula dance show.

The hula dance show featured various forms that are rarely seen in Japan, including performances by male dancers and hula danced by male-female pairs, which were truly wonderful. I'm glad I attended. Children aged 7, 5, and 3 also participated and had a great time.

However, it felt like the bus ride to and from the venue was part of the show, with the male bus guide engaging the audience in lively talks. Most of the audience were native speakers, and it created quite an exciting atmosphere. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the content of the talks at all due to my level of English. Even my husband, who usually works in English, said it was too fast and he could only catch about half of it. But for some reason, the kids were really into it…(^^;)

I think those with a good level of English will enjoy it from start to finish. Regardless, I was satisfied because I got to see a fun show.

As for attire, since the show is held on the beach, you can dress up or wear casual clothes. Beach sandals would be a good choice for footwear.

本格的なフラダンスのショーが見たかったので参加しました。

フラダンスのショーは、日本ではあまり見られない、男性のダンサーのショーや、男女ペアで踊るフラダンスなど、様々な形態がみられ本当に素晴らしいものでした。参加してよかったです。
7才、５才、3才の子供たちも参加しましたがとても楽しんでいました。

ただ、行きのバスの中から帰りのバスの中までがショーの一環という感じで、男性のバスガイドさんの観客を巻き込んだトークが繰り広げられます。ネイテェブのお客さんがほとんどで客を巻き込んでかなりの盛り上がりがあります。ただ残念なことに私の英語レベルだとトーク内容は全くわかりませんでした。。
普段、英語で仕事をする主人ですら、早すぎて半分ぐらいしか聞き取れないと言っていました。
でも、逆に子供たちはなぜかノリノリでした…(^^;)

こんな感じで、英語がかなりのレベルの方は最初から最後まで楽しめると思います
それをさしいても、楽しいショーが見れたので私は満足です。


服装は浜辺で行われるショーなので、ドレスアップを、してもよし、普段着でもよしだとおもいます。靴はビーチサンダルがよかったです。

I'm glad I went! Since everything is in English, I think it would be a great time for anyone who understands English.

I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii!

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Legendary Waikiki Landmark Event

Reviewed by: Marisa

The Aha 'Aina luau provides the ultimate luxury luau experience in the comfort and proximity of Waikiki. Located in the famous Pink Palace of the Pacific, Aha 'Aina doesn't disappoint. The views and outdoor seating are a beautiful backdrop to the evening. The meal is served with musical entertainment and a historical introduction of how the guitar and ukulele were introduced to the islands. This is a great luau for those who love great music and tasty food! The table service is wonderful and the food is excellent. The history of Waikiki comes alive on stage as the dancers take you through time from when Kamehameha united the islands, to the Royal Hawaiian hotel's first opening in 1927. Get ready for a treat, because this is not only a feast for your taste buds, but your eyes and ears as well!

As mentioned in other comments, I couldn't understand Japanese at all. However, the staff brought several people who could speak Japanese and were very considerate of us throughout the tour.

I will cherish the commemorative photo they gave us at the end as a memory. Thank you very much!

Since we wanted to take our time, we chose the "Deluxe Dinner Package."
It mentioned that it comes with three drinks, but we received a $25 card to order any drinks we liked. Although our bus driver wasn't Japanese, there was a Japanese driver who spoke to us in Japanese and brought us chopsticks★ As the reviews said, communication in Japanese was limited, but the lively atmosphere was really fun. A couple celebrating their anniversary was dancing nearby, and it was lovely〜★
The dance in the show was really wonderful, and I was happy to see my favorite hula under the starry sky♪

ゆっくり見たいでの「デラックス・ディナー・パッケージ」にしました。
ドリンク3杯付きと書いてありましたが、25ドル分のカードがもらえ、その中で好きなドリンクを注文する感じです。私たちのバスのドライバーではなかったのですが、ドライバーさんで日系の方がいて、日本語で話しかけてくれて、お箸を持ってきてくれました★口コミ通り日本語は通じなかったですが、ノリの良さはホントに楽しかったです。記念日のカップルが脇でダンスをしてて、素敵でした〜★

Beautiful grounds and reasonable show

Reviewed by: Nick

With Honolulu traffic, it's a long trip in both directions. The grounds are beautiful and the sunset is picturesque. We had 10 in our party. The pre-dinner activities are fun and the food was good but we wouldn't say anything out of the ordinary. The luau show was well done with a nice variety, but again fairly typical. What I disliked the most was the drink policy. You can't take a drink back for your wife as you are allowed only one drink at a time. Further the drinks are very pricey and the coupons don't get you much. I only want a single drink and would prefer to have no coupons with the tickets and then just buy drinks if I want them. We all had fun but the drive from Waikiki is tough.

Reviewed by: ＯＮＩＳＨＩ　ＹＵＫＩ

I participated in the Hawaiian show based on my recommendation after seeing it on TV. The food was a buffet, so it was just okay. There were many foreign participants (not including Japanese). Naturally, the staff communicated in English, but my whole family was satisfied with the attractions (which were optional). My eldest son participated in all the attractions. The Hawaiian show (hula dance show) was even more wonderful and satisfying than the shows in Honolulu. Japanese is not widely understood, but it is definitely worth participating at least once.

今回ハワイアンショーは、ＴＶを見て　こちらに行きたいと私からの推薦で参加しました。食事はビュッフェなのでまぁまぁでした。ここは外国人(日本人以外)の参加が多いです。当然、従業員(スタッフ)は英語対応でしたが、アトラクション(自由参加)については家族全員満足です。長男は全アトラクションに参加していまた。ハワイアンショー(フラダンスショー)もホノルルでのショー以上に素晴らしく満足しました。日本語はあまり通用しませんが、是非一度参加する価値は十分あります。以上

I made a reservation because I wanted my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time for our wedding, to see something truly Hawaiian. Since I booked a standard reservation, we arrived 30 minutes early to line up for seats. We were second in line, so we were shown to a good seat. It was a special night at the only ocean view outdoor stage in Waikiki. The fire dance was amazing. My mother dressed up and said she really felt like she was in Hawaii, which made me very happy. She was delighted when she was stopped by one of the performers when she returned from the restroom. The food was also delicious.

わたしたちの結婚式で来てもらったハワイ初めての母に、ハワイらしいものを見てもらいたいと思って予約しました。
