Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Luau

Reviewed by: salejo

There were so many activities. We were able to try most of it - canoes, tattoo, made a bracelet/headband, & we even took pictures with the parrots (extra cost for prints). Alcoholic drinks & the food were good. The white haupia dessert is my favorite, but don't eat more than 3 because it is a laxative. Our favorite part of the luau was of course the fire dance, which was really the only dance I paid most attention to. 5 stars because our bus guide Cousin Rich made this that much more fun for us. Going to Paradise Cove & back was never a sleepy ride & was never boring.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Beautiful, Breathtaking. Buffet!!!

Reviewed by: OhMyHiroshi

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here at Paradise Cove's Luau. As soon as we checked in, we received free maitais! Then as we made our way through the entrance path, we got greeted with lei's by our "Hawaiian Cousins". We then made our way to the bar and started drinking, as we were watching the practices of the "imu ceremony" of the pork, catching of the flowers, and the old way of how the Hawaiians used to catch fish. We then got seated at our tables and were dismissed to go get our food! I had three plates of the finest Hawaiian dishes, and my girlfriend only had one. While we had dinner, the sunset was beautiful at the peak of the ocean. It was simply amazing that we could eat at the beach and have the sunset right at your tables. Finally to conclude the evening right before the show, they dimmed the stage lights and i looked up and saw a dark night with 3 dozen stars. It all looks like a movie but it's pure reality here in Hawaii. My girlfriend and I had a romantic time.

  • Check in location

  • Imu Ceremony

  • Cliffs of Ko'Olina- Waianae

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Good for what it is

Reviewed by: Ben

This luau is what you'd expect from a commercial venture. The food is decent, but the entertainment could have been better. I thought the dancers were good, but the other acts were sorely lacking in depth and quality. Our group attendant was great, full of humor and a general pleasure to listen to.
For what it is, I'd say I had a good time. Don't expect any real cultural enrichment though, it's just good mindless fun.

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>

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: 武山 愛美

Paradise Cove is rich in nature, the sea is beautiful, and the sunset was stunning. The show was, of course, wonderful and fun. What stands out the most in my memory is the tour guide on the bus. I forgot his name, but he was very entertaining, and even though I didn't understand much of the English, my sister translated for me, and we laughed a lot. I was surprised that he remembered all the passengers' names and called them out one by one from the front. Especially considering how difficult Japanese names can be... However, it might be a bit tough for those who don't understand English. Thanks to my sister's translation, we had a very enjoyable time on the bus.

パラダイス・コーブは自然が豊かで海も美しく、夕日もとてもきれいですてきでした。
ショーはもちろん素晴らしくて楽しかったです。
一番心に残っているのはバスの中のツアーガイド
名前は忘れてしまいましたが、彼がとても楽しくて言葉は英語でよく分からなかったのですが(妹が通訳をしてくれました)ほんとによく笑いました。
とにかくバスの乗客の名前を全て覚えてしまって、前から順番に全員の名前を言ったのには驚きました。特に日本人の名前は難しいでしょうに・・
ただ英語は分からない人にはちょっと厳しいかも
私達は妹の通訳のおかげでとても楽しいバスの中でした。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「アハアイナ」ワイキキ中心!ダイアモンドヘッドを望む絶景オーシャン・フロントでのディナーショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン内>

It was frustrating waiting for the show to start. ショーが始まるまでがダラダラして。。。。イライラ。。。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I took my seat at 5:30 PM, but the female host was dragging on with a talk show-like format until the show started, which was boring. Additionally, there were several downpours during the event, and the response for towels and umbrellas was slow, leaving us soaked... Of course, the dishes were also wet... It was disappointing that, despite reserving a high-priced seat, the meal was served later on.

The hula dance show was fantastic. It was great. However, I feel that the Hilton, which hosts events every Friday, had better food, shows, and staff service.

17時半から席に着きましたが、ショーが始まるまで女性の司会がダラダラとトークショーのような感じで時間を繋いでいたのが退屈でした。また、途中スコールが何度も降りましたが、タオルや傘の対応が遅く、びしょびしょに・・・。食器も当然びしょびしょ・・・。高い席を予約したのに、食事も後の方に出てきたのが残念せした。
フラダンスショーは最高でした。良かったですよ。
でも、毎週金曜開催のヒルトンの方が食事もショーもスタッフの対応も良かった気がします。

All of the activities were interesting, and the lines for tattoos, leis, etc. all went pretty quickly! Above that, the food was awesome! If you are looking for a great luau, go to Paradise Cove!

Good Show, Decent Food

Reviewed by: J Johnson

Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

The climax is after dinner! クライマックスはディナーのあと!

Reviewed by: SEALAX

I read the reviews in advance and reserved the premium seats with less waiting time. On the day of the event, there were fewer participants, so it wasn't much different from the general seating. Since it was a round table, some people couldn't see the stage. The food was "meh," but the show was wonderful. Since it takes place in the courtyard of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, it was a valuable experience considering the location.

事前に投稿を読んで、待ち時間が少ないプレミア席を予約しました。当日は参加人数が少なかったのか、あまり一般席と変わりなかったです。円卓のテーブル席なのでステージを見れない方がいました。
料理は「う~ん..」でしたが、ショーは素晴らしかったです。ロイヤルハワイアンホテルの中庭で開催されるので場所を考えれば貴重な体験になりました。

Could have been a lot better

Reviewed by: JMDZ

Firstly, the bus was very very very very late. Not fun when you have a bunch of know-it-all tourists waiting to get someplace. We ended up driving ourselves, even though we had paid for transportation there and back.

Secondly, the food was average, at best. The pasta salad was bland, the macaroni salad too mayonnaisey, the fried chicken was old and you could taste the freezer-burn, the desserts were average and dry and the drinks weren't strong enough. The only reason we are rating this "average", rather than Bad, is because the view/scenery was spectacular!

Never again!

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Fun and tasty Luau - excellent Waikiki location

Reviewed by: garathome

The only thing missing from this Luau was the traditional pig in the ground, but the gourmet menu included pork ribs and seafood, not to mention unlimited drinks. The show was excellent. The grandmother's soothing voice-over and gentle music set a wonderful stage for the dancing and costumes. All live, of course. The historic Royal Hawaiian Ocean lawn has a view of the sea and Diamond Head. The tables and chairs were comfortable. The program explained the food in detail. If you don't want to head to another Oahu coast, this is the luau for you.

It became a wonderful memory of Waikiki. ワイキキの素敵な思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: あちゃこ

I went to see the show with my 9-year-old daughter who is learning hula. According to reviews, it was mostly Japanese people, but perhaps it was just a coincidence, as there were hardly any Japanese attendees. We splurged on premium seats, so we were able to watch the show right in front of the stage, which was truly wonderful. The performance was full of excitement. The content included dances and songs that conveyed the history of Hawaii, and it was so engaging that we were captivated the entire time. However, my daughter and I wanted to see more hula and Tahitian dance, so I deducted one star for that. Still, I think it's the best show to recommend for those who are tired of regular dance performances. Not only the show but also being able to enjoy the luxurious backdrop of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach was amazing.

フラを習っている9歳の娘と二人で見に行きました。口コミでは、日本人ばかり、という話でしたが、たまたまなのか、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。奮発してプレミア席にしたのでステージの前でショーを見れて、本当に良かったです。迫力満点です。内容は、ハワイの歴史をおいながらのダンスあり、歌ありと盛りだくさんで、飽きることなくずっと釘付けでした。ただ、娘と私は、フラとタヒチをしっかり見たかったので、そこだけが★ひとつマイナスにしました。だけど、普通のダンスショーに飽きた人には、一番勧められるショーだと思います。ショーもだけど、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチの景色をぜいたくにも背景として見れるなんて。最高です。
