Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Very Ordinary Meal

Reviewed by: Jack Powell

This was my first, and probably the only trip to Hawaii. The description of the Luau sound wonderful, and the entertainment is truly very good. The food is very ordinary however. I did not expect to eat a fried chicken thigh (the only choice)! The pork was very salty and everything else very bland tasting. If you have a choice, go somewhere else for the meal. The "upgrade" to front row is also not worth the extra price. You can see very well from the least expensive seats.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

Surprisingly enjoyable luau show. 意外に楽しいルアウショー

Reviewed by: ちびちゃん

I wasn't expecting much from the hula and fire dance in Hawaii, but it was really great. I didn't understand much English, but I had a lot of fun. Before the show started, there were some fun booths where you could choose your favorite designs for temporary tattoos on your arms and legs... (it was free). The food was served buffet-style, and I could take as much as I wanted. However, once the show started, I got so focused on watching that I forgot to eat with my chopsticks (or fork). I sat next to an American named Porter, and even though we couldn't understand each other, we connected and exchanged emails. After returning home, I sent him the photos via email.

Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the free seating. I'm thinking of coming back here next year if I have dinner elsewhere in the evening.

ハワイのフラやファイヤーダンスだろうってそんなに期待していなかったけどとても良かった。
英語はよくわかりませんでしたが楽しめましたよ。
ショーが始まるまではちょっとした遊びのブース見たいのがあって足や腕にタトゥーを好きな絵柄を選んで書いてくれたり.....（無料でした）
料理もビュフェ形式で好きなものを沢山取れます。でもショーが始まると見ることに集中して箸（フォーク）が止まって食べるのを忘れてた。
隣に座っていたアメリカ人のポータさんとは言葉は理解できないけど、打ち解けメール交換しましたよ。帰国して写真をメール送信しました。
席も早めに並んで行ったので自由席でも十分楽しめました。

来年も夜は他でディナーするならまたここで楽しみたいと考えています。

It's hard to see. 見えずらい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since the stage is set up on the rooftop, it's difficult to see the show because of people's heads. If the seating were tiered like at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it would be possible to see the entire show from the back, even if it's far away.

The "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is very convenient for those staying at the Hilton, as it's located within the village. It's also convenient to be able to watch the show while having a meal.

The year before last, I participated with a friend. As soon as we got on the bus, we were overwhelmed by the energetic foreign travelers, and I was filled with excitement wondering what was going to happen. Until we returned, I didn't encounter any Japanese people, which made me feel like I was thrown into a mysterious world. I wanted another friend to experience that thrilling adventure, so I signed up for this tour again. This time was also a big hit, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the chance again, I would like to participate.

一昨年　友人と二人で参加。バスに乗り込むや、すごいノリの外国人達に圧倒され、これは何事が起きるんだろうと、それはもうドキドキでした。帰るまで、一度も日本人に会うことも無く、不思議な世界に放り出された気分でした。そのワクワク体験を別の友人にも感じてもらいたくて、再度　このツアーに申し込みました。今回も大うけで、とても楽しめました。また機会が有れば、参加したいです。

I would highly recommend this activity as a 'must do' during your Hawaii vacation.

The whole tour, from initial booking via Hawai Activities, to collection from our hotel, transport, and the Luau experience at Paradise Cove was sensational!

The tour guide Pomai was entertaining and knowledgable and 'included' everyone as a family unit. The staff at Paradise Cove were friendly and helpful and their enthusiasm and smiles made the experience unique and breathtaking.

The hospitality, food and entertainment was second to none.

One of our best holiday experiences ever!!!!

Reviewed by: ロンバケ

I had a great time. Perhaps because it was crowded during the summer season, I thought I would have a seat a bit closer... I think the show would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English. I wonder if it's easier to get seats if you arrive early? The food was delicious and served as a course. I enjoyed chatting with an elderly couple at the same table, and the time flew by. It was a fun experience since shows like this are quite rare in Japan.

いい時間を過ごしました。夏のシーズンで混んでるためなのか、もう少し前の席かと思ったのですが、、、英語がわかるともっと楽しいショーだったと思います。なるべく早く行った方が席は取りやすいのかな？料理もコースで美味しく頂きました。同じテーブルの年配夫婦とお話しながらで時間もあっという間でしたね。日本ではなかなか無いショーなので楽しかったです。

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。

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!

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.

Great food

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.

Luau in the middle of Waikiki

Reviewed by: Ms Rosie

This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!

Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.

Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

A REALLY FUN EXPERIENCE!

Reviewed by: Laura W.

I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.
