This was a great experience and worth the price. The only comment I have to improve is for the pick up at the hotel, there should be better identification of the bus that is for the event.

This was worth the hour drive from the North Shore! The premium package is definately the way to go! We had a great time. Loved the chicken (pork was a little salty for my taste). All you can eat was great for the price. I would go back. The sunset is beautiful. Great place for family pictures.

It was a show that everyone, from adults to kids, could enjoy.

There were many dishes that resembled local cuisine,
and I was able to fully enjoy the true essence of Hawaii.
I highly recommend this show.

However, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery before it started!
A prime seat with a view of Diamond Head!
The show was, of course, very good as well.
I was able to enjoy the coveted fire performances and Polynesian show.

The seat we were guided to was right next to the stage!
In front of us was the ocean, and we could see the diamonds.
It was the best location.
We were blessed with good weather, and we thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the waves and the gradually darkening sky!
Of course, the Polynesian show and fire dance were amazing!
We were captivated and enjoyed a delightful meal.
The buffet had a wide variety of dishes, and there were plenty of desserts to choose from!

This was by far one of the greatest honeymoon activities my husband and I did. If you decide to choose this luau, it is definitely worth the money to get the VIP front row seating. No waiting in line, and you are right by the stage! Definitely worth the money hula and fire dancer were awesome!

We had a wonderful time. There were a lot of children there and the staff used quite a lot of sexual innuendo so I would not take my children. Was not crowded. We got to do quite a few of the activities and crafts which was fun. I felt pampered and the night was romantic. The pork is out of this world. Pleanty of food. Music and dancing were fabulous.
Note:get to know your camera and practice taking photos at dusk with moving images. Otherwise when you get home your photos willl be all blurry.

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!

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.

One thing that I was told by anyone who visited your island was to attend a Luau. After reading reviews on websites, I chose the Paradise Cove experience. I am very glad I did. My two year old granddaughter enjoyed the activities and dancing as much as my 70 year old mother. If you leave this experience hungry, you have no one to blame but yourself. The ocean view was gorgeous and the sunset that night was breathtaking. Thank You!!!

I requested a course with transportation, and as everyone has mentioned, the bus was mostly filled with foreigners, and the announcements were only in English.
The show was indeed impressive. I ordered the deluxe option, but the seats were not towards the front; instead, we were at the very back on a higher tier. It started to rain during the show, but there was a roof over that area, so I was glad to be seated there.
The people I went with were happy to see an authentic luau show. However, they mentioned that it would have been more enjoyable if they understood English.
The food was delicious. They brought various dishes in order, and although it wasn't a buffet, the portions were more than enough to fill us up. The four drink tickets we received ended up going unused, which was a shame.
送迎付のコースを頼みましたが、皆さんが書かれている通りバスの中はほとんど外国人で、案内も英語だけでした。
ショーはさすがに迫力がありました。
デラックスで頼みましたが、席は前のほうではなく一番後ろの一段高いところでした。
途中で雨が降ってきましたが、そこには屋根がありましたので、そちらの席でよかったです。
一緒に行った人達は、本場のルアウショーが見れて良かった。
でも、英語がわからないので、わかるともっと楽しかったかな。
と言っていました。
ご飯は美味しかったです。
順番に色々持ってきていただいて、ビュッフェではなかったのですが、量は食べきれないぐらいでした。
4枚ついていたドリンクチケットはやはり飲みきれずに余ってしまい、もったいなかったです。

I participated in this tour to entertain my family. As many others have written, there are extremely few Japanese participants. Therefore, I think it's best to join with the understanding that Japanese will not be understood at all, including during bus transfers. However, if you have a certain level of listening skills and can convey your intentions with basic vocabulary, you can enjoy it fully.
While waiting for the show to start, the activities of making leis and haku leis were enjoyable enough to make me forget that I was Japanese.
The luau begins with the sunset, and from there, it's a series of surprises. Traditional Hawaiian performances, including hula, as well as dances from Polynesia and Tahiti. And the most exciting part was the fire dance.
Regarding the food, since it's not a high-end dinner, you shouldn't have too many expectations, but the fried chicken was incredibly delicious.
The family I brought along all had a great time. Since we came to a foreign land, I think it's perfectly fine to enjoy ourselves to the fullest in an environment with few Japanese tourists.
On windy days, it gets chilly at night, and the air conditioning on the bus is quite strong, so it's essential to have something to wear on top.
今回、ファミリーをもてなすためにこのツアーに参加しました。
色々な方が書いていた通り、日本人の参加者は極端に少ないです。ゆえにバスでの移動を含め現地でも日本語は全く通じないという認識で参加する方が良いと思います。
ただし、ある程度のヒアリングと片言でも自分の意思を伝えられるだけの単語力があれば十分に楽しめます。
ショーが始まるまでの間の、レイを作ったり、ハクレイを作ったりするコーナーも、自分が日本人である事を忘れて楽しめるものでした。
サンセットと共にルアウが始まるのですが、もうそこからは驚きの連続。
フラをはじめとした、ハワイの伝統芸能やポリネシアやタヒチの踊り。
そして、一番盛り上がったファイアーダンス。
食事については、高級ディナーとは違うので、あまり期待するべきではありませんが、フライドチキンは最高に美味しかったです。
連れていったファミリーはみんな楽しんでくれました。
折角異国の地に来んだから、日本人観光客の少ない環境でめいっぱい楽しんでしまうのも有りだと思います。
風がある日だと、夜は冷え込むし、移動のバス内のエアコンがかなり利いているので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

The bus ride from Waikiki to the venue was entertaining. During the journey, there was a brief explanation of the activities at the venue. Unfortunately, Japanese language support is not to be expected. There was a slight issue upon entry, but when I communicated my concerns to the bus staff, they responded immediately. I was able to interact with other participants and even experience hula dancing on stage (for those who wished to participate), which became a wonderful memory. The food was not just "something basic," but rather delicious. I think it would be nice to be able to give a tip smoothly when getting off the bus on the way back (though it is not required, it's a nice gesture).
ワイキキから会場へ向かうバスの中から、エンターテイメントでした。移動中、会場での行動説明が軽くありました。
残念ながら、日本語は期待できません。
入場時に少々のトラブルがありましたが、バスの担当の方に困っている旨を伝えると、すぐに対応してくれました。
他の参加者とも交流できたり、(希望者参加の)ステージでのフラダンスを体験したり、いい思い出になりました。
お料理も「こんな程度のもの」ではなく、美味しいものでした。
帰りのバスの降りがけにスマートにチップを渡せるといいと思います(要求はされませんが気持ちで)。

I thought I was able to see a very high-quality hula dance. However, since the entire performance was in English, I was left confused, caught up in the excitement around me. I think it would be a very enjoyable tour for those who are fluent in English.
However, the process of receiving drinks and food turned into a long line, which took up a lot of time. It was a very disappointing situation.

I asked my kids which activity was their favorite and they agreed that, other than surfing, this was it. The bus trip to the cove was hysterical, our guide was so wonderfully engaging and entertaining. I never thought that listening to people singing Old Macdonalds Farm could be so funny. The activities were great and the sun setting into the cove at the perfect time was idyllic. A great day.

Enjoyed the evening with our family of 3 teenagers. We played the games and felt encouraged by the staff, did the hula, watched most of the shows. However, we missed the main ceremony because we were doing something else at the time. They had the conch shell sound for each event but did not verbally announce it therefore we missed it which was disappointing. The food and dinner show were wonderful. We drove ourselves and the place was easy to find.

The reviews were very good, so I might have had too high expectations, but it was just okay. The bus guide's stories were certainly interesting, but they weren't "hilarious" or anything, just average. However, the attention to participants was wonderful; they celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, and even during free time, they kept track of everyone's activities and mentioned them later. I was also surprised by how smoothly the staff worked together. I didn't think the food was delicious, but since I didn't have high expectations, it was within an acceptable range. I was hoping for something a bit more spiritual from the show, but it felt more commercial. This is just my personal opinion.
We lived in the United States until the year before last and have participated in many such shows and dinners, so I might have been a bit harsh in my evaluation compared to others... I apologize.
However, I think for first-timers or those who don't often have the opportunity to experience different cultures, it would be a fresh and enjoyable event.
レビューの評価がとても良く期待し過ぎたせいかも知れませんが、まあまあという感じでした。バスガイドさんの話は勿論面白かったものの「大爆笑」というほどではなく普通でした。ただ、参加者への心配りは素晴らしく、誕生日や記念日を祝ったり、自由行動の際も全員の行動を把握していて後で言及したり。スタッフ同士の連携の円滑さにも驚きました。料理は美味しいとは思いませんでしたが、期待もしていなかったので許容範囲。ショーはもう少しスピリチュアルなものを期待していたけれど、コマーシャルな印象を受けました。あくまで個人的な感想ですが。
私共は一昨年までアメリカに住んでいて、このようなショーやディナーに多く参加しているので、他とも比較して、評価が少し辛口になってしまったかも・・・すみません。
多分、初めての人や日ごろ異文化にあまり触れる機会のない人にとっては、新鮮で楽しいイベントだと思います。

Let me just say, I took a chance. I heard it was expensive, cheesy, and basically over-rated. BUT, I also heard if you do decide to do a luau, do Paradise Cove, and go all out with the Deluxe package... They were right!! (lol, PC should pay me for this review...)
As a young couple in our 20's.... WE HAD A BLAST. They do a great job making you feel special with the deluxe package: shorter lines, extra drink tickets, souvenir gifts, and we had the VERY FRONT seats (regular tickets put you WAY in the back)!!! Totally worth the extra money to be right in front and have table service (no waiting in long lines for the buffet)... The food was better than expected, drinks were...pretty. The dancing/show was what was expected-
but what we both agreed on what made PC special was the cove!!!! It was stunning, and the view is everything i imagined Oahu to be. We went on our 2nd night, and it was very romantic!!! When we went on the little canoe ride they offer, WE SAW A GREEN SEA TURTLE!!!

My husband and I, had such an enchanting evening! Aha Aina is different from your typical "hula hula" type of luau. This event is authentic and very respectful. You have a wonderful storyteller "Uncle Joe", telling his stories about the hotel and his life growing up in Hawaii and how times have changed. You have tasty, mouthwatering appetizers that melt in your mouth! Delicious fruit drinks made upon your request with servers eager to assist you. This was such a wonderful change from those typical luaus that you would attend around the islands..such grand entertainment, succulent food and exceptional service! I would highly recommend this dinner show for people who want to experience what Hawaii actually has to offer!
