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. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This time, we chose Hawaii, a memorable place for our family's first trip, and signed up for this tour.

It was my first time here as well, but the guide was very accommodating, and we had a great time. The kids said, "It doesn't feel like we're in a foreign country" in Waikiki, but they were thrilled to say that this tour "feels like we're in a foreign country" (laughs). At first, they were nervous, but when we returned to the hotel, they were excitedly talking about the show.

Compared to the Polynesian Cultural Center, it's smaller and has fewer attractions, but that allowed us to enjoy it at a more leisurely pace, which was nice.

Thank you very much.

今回、家族での初めての旅行で思い出の地のHAWAIIを選択してこのツアーに申し込みました。

ここは自分も初めてのところでしたがガイドさんの対応も良くとても楽しめました。
子供たちも、ワイキキでは「外国に来た気がしないね」と言っていましたがこのツアーは「外国に来た気がする」(笑)と言って大喜びでした。最初は緊張していましたがHOTELに帰ると興奮してショーの話をしていました。

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに比べ小振りでアトラクションも少ないですがその分ゆっくり楽しめたので良かったです。

ありがとうございました。

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Wonderful Show

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The show and dinner were all great, although the difference between booking premiere and regular show seems only to make sure that you have a front table. I was very lucky to sit with a family from Canada who were very friendly and welcoming. This show has seating at large round tables, and so as an individual realize that you are going to be sitting with someone else.

The show itself was first rate and the singers and dancers put their all to it. There is a small part of the show at the beginning that really didn't make sense where they played like to the were doing work in a village....they should let the dancers and singers rest and abandon this part.

This is an expensive but on Waikiki event, no bus to ride on, but let me share with you if you are in the restaurant right next to the show, or are on the public beach behind the show you could see the whole thing for free!

Aloha

The luau was good. The only thing I would suggest is to not have the people waiting outside so before getting on the bus. The temperature outside was already hot and then the heat from the bus's engine made it worst. We waited outside the bus for 45 minutes before we could get on.

There was too much going on. We were standing in the lines to do the crafts before we realized that the main events were going on elsewhere. Not sure how we were supposed to know what was going on, but I feel like we missed a lot. Food was good and the main show after dinner was good.

Dears Sirs, Aloha. I completely enjoy your show and over all Luau, and have attanded your facility for three consecutive Island visits.

Each time I come, I bring new visitors to the Islands and they always enjoy the Luau activities/show.

I remember additional games and venders and missed them both this late trip.

I will continue to visit and recommend you to others s a must do when in Oahu.

Enjoyable Night Of Luau

Reviewed by: Ron Gurtiza

You get lei'd and you get a welcome drink and your picture taken with a hula dancer. You get to do activities like how to make a lei and get your picture taken while you are ona canoe ride. Then you get a little bit of Polynesian history of how to get and break a coconut, how the old hawaiians catch fish, and the many different ways to wear a sarong. Then everyone gathers in the Imu Stadium where you see the unveiling of the slow cooked wrapped in Ti leaves, Kahlua Pig from the pit. Then they sit you down for a delicious luau feast. And you can asks for 2nds and 3rds. Then concluding night of an hour long fantastic entertaining show of music, hula dancing and a Samoan fire dance. It is located in Ko Olina. Fabulous ocean views and sunset. Do not forget your camera! Alooooooooooha!

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

simply AWESOME!!

Reviewed by: Ms. Emz

I definitely had a great time, by far the BEST! Nice location with a spectacular view of the sunset, the nice green color of the famous Diamond Head, great dinner, and the entertainment was just awesome! You can’t ask for more.
Typical luau is on a buffet style dinner and sometimes you have to wait in a long line before you get your food but with Aha Aina, everything is conveniently served to your table, delicious appetizers, filling main entrée, and multiple choices of beverages. Their servers are fast too, very friendly and accommodating. I can only say good things as I totally enjoyed it! I'll be sure to go again.

Gotta love the open bar! Had a great time and the food was very good. The fire dance was cool as well and the MC was very friendly and you knew all the stories he was telling were true. A true Hawaiian experience! Oh, for only another 20 bucks i'd recommend the premium seating so you are right up in the show!

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Loved this luau!!!

Reviewed by: Andrew Valentine

This is far from any traditional luau experience where the typical and expected food and Polynesian show has been conceptualized to provide a very unique Hawaiian culinary and entertainment experience. The narrative is centered around history rather than mythology, unusual for a luau. They moved us indoors because they thought it was going to rain. The food was tasty and filling, service was good, show excellent and informative and the ambiance of this pink hotel was magic ... oh and it's open bar too!!!

Hands down the best EVER!

Reviewed by: Liana S.

I try to come to Hawaii as often as I can, and I have been to a lot of different luaus, and the Royal Hawaiian is without a doubt the best I have ever attended.

The food is utterly mouthwatering and they have the perfect combination of traditional and modern cuisine. I must say that the MC was great and had a fantastic way of intertwining stories about the food and the entertainment together. The dancing, singing and of course the fire knife dance just blew me away. So glad that I decided to do this!

Great evening

Reviewed by: Gary

This is a new show being offered by the Royal Hawaiian. I had attended their old show several years ago and enjoyed it so much that I thought I would check out this one. I was not disappointed! This is a great show with a wonderful easy to follow storyline. The performers were extremely talented and appeared to truly be enjoying what they were doing. I should comment that this show is designed for a more adult/senior audience where the recommended dress is less casual and the menu is very extensive and in a more formal type dining atmosphere.

I went to Polynissian culture center last year, and I choose to paradise cove this time. I have to recommand this warm, friendly, delightful environment that not only provided me good foods, but also great entertainment!
The drink was great too. Even with the cheapest ticket, I still got two free alcohol drinks.
It was awesome to see sunset on the beautiful beach and interesting shows at the same time.
I enjoyed paradice cove a lot, it's a good place to go if you like unique place to enjoy luau and Hawaiian cultures.

There were a lot of lines all night. From the moment we met the bus until the moment we got off. We had to wait to get in but fortunately a beverage was provided in that one. We had children who wanted to do many of the activities and they made sure you didn't miss them with a load conch call. This brought a huge crowd to see each event. My kids would not let us miss one. The bummer was the cove and location was beautiful and we didn't get a moment to take it all in as a family because one of us was in line the entire time. You should know that dinner is not served until after 7pm so make sure you have a late lunch. I wish I would of known that. Show was great but the many costume changes meant many slow intermission like moments all night. Not my favorite night.

This was our second time attending the Paradise Cove Luai. It was nice seeing, hearing, and experiencing a Christmas theme to the evening. Two items, the evening seemed rushed, there was not enough time between activities to truely enjoy the evening - our bus arrived, dropped us off, and the race was on... we did not get to participate in all of the pre-show activities. The second was the food was okay, but not what I would consider great - which is why the value rating dropped to so-so.

It was quite ambiguous for me. 私にはかなり微妙でした

Reviewed by: フラガール

I had made a reservation at the beginning of March, right on Tsunami Day, but there was no contact at all, and it was canceled. I ended up waiting for over an hour at the pickup location while continuously trying to call (but couldn't get through), which was a disaster. Thanks to Alan's efforts, I was able to participate the next day, but everything before the show (like tree climbing and canoeing), the show itself, and the meals were all quite mediocre... It felt lacking in focus, or perhaps just scattered... I was looking forward to the hula, but the hula at the Tokiwa Hawaiian Center was much better... The negative impression might also be because it was extremely cold... The seaside location is a selling point, but that also means the wind is strong, and it got quite chilly once the sun went down. I won't be going again, but for those who do, I recommend being well-prepared for the cold depending on the season.

3月はじめ、まさに津波の日に予約していましたが、まったく連絡なくキャンセルに。ピックアップ場所で1時間以上も待ちながら電話をかけつづける(つながらない)という大惨事に。アラン1さんのご尽力もあり、次の日にずらして参加できましたが、ショーの前のいろいろなイベント(木登りとか、カヌーとか・・・)、ショー、食事、すべてが微妙でした・・・ メリハリがないというか、散漫というか・・・ フラを楽しみにしていましたが、常磐ハワイアンセンターのフラのほうがよっぽどよかった・・・。印象がよくないのは、とにかくめちゃめちゃ寒かったからかも・・・。海辺のロケーションが売りなわけですが、それだけに風も強いし、日が落ちるとかなり寒かったです。私はもう行きませんが、行かれる方は、季節によって防寒対策をしっかりしていくことをおすすめします。

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。

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.

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!

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。

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.
