This was our first Luau and we enjoyed it immensely. Our guide, Jackie, kept the whole group entertained during the bus ride to the luau.
We enjoyed all of the pre-meal activites, and thought mthe food was very good. The after dinner show was beyond our expectations.

I was travelling alone, but with all the cousins I met I had a blast. Even the bus ride to Paradise Cove was fun because cousin Trina was awesome! I enjoyed all of the activities and the show was great. The property is georgeous and beautiful sunset photos here. I payed for the Deluxe VIP package and was happy with it because as soon as I was at my table I didn't have to leave. I was brought my very tasty dinner to my table, as well as drinks whenever I needed. I would definately recommend this especially for groups or people celebrating something. I want to go to Paradise Cove again!

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 started with a happening and was very fulfilling. ハプニングから始まり大変充実

Reviewed by: watanabe

This time, participating in the Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show was a truly memorable day. As mentioned in the title, there was a bit of a mishap. The bus was supposed to pick us up from the hotel for the tour, but we completely misunderstood the meeting point for tomorrow's tour and ended up at the gathering place for the Hyatt Regency at 4 PM instead of Ohana Waikiki West! Well, since the tour bus had arrived there before 4 PM, we were waiting in line without any worries, but the guide seemed to notice something was off. It was then that we realized we had made a mistake and hurried to Ohana! Half of us ran, while the other half lagged behind! It turned out that the bus was indeed for that tour… The latecomers managed to get on the bus, while half of us didn’t.

Somehow, we managed to get on the bus and became quite famous among the passengers. Most of the participants were foreigners, and since the guide didn't speak Japanese, that added to the confusion. However, since we were in a foreign country, we wanted to be as far away from Japanese people as possible. Everyone was friendly, and even with broken English, it was more than enough! The attractions before dinner and the show were also great. We got to ride in a canoe, make head leis, and play around with various activities. Before we knew it, it was time for the show!

The show was incredibly impressive. We are quite familiar with Hawaii (having been there 7 or 8 times), but this was a really good tour with rich content that allowed us to enjoy both the foreign atmosphere and Hawaii. I think it’s a fantastic tour. On the way back, they even took photos for us until the very end. That’s probably why so many foreigners gather for it. I would love to participate again.

今回、このルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショーに参加させて頂きとても思い出になる一日でした。タイトルにある様にハプニングというのは、ツアー参加のためにホテルまでバスで迎えに来て貰えるのですが、なんと私達は明日のツアーの集まる所と全く勘違いをしていて私達は4時にｵﾊﾅﾜｲｲｷｷｳｴｽﾄなのにﾊｲｱｯﾄﾘｰｼﾞｪﾝｼｰの集まり場に来てしまっていて！まぁそこに4時前にそのツアーのバスは来ていた為、何も気にせずに並んでたのですがガイドさんが何かおかしい様子。そこで私達も集まる所を間違ったと気づき急いでオハナへ！が我々の半分は走り、半分は少し出遅れ！所がそのバスはそのツアーのバスだった様で…。出遅れﾁｰﾑはバスに乗れ、半分は…。
とか何とかでなんだカンダでバスに乗れ一躍バスの中では有名人。そう、なんとこのツアーはほとんどが外人。ガイドも日本語通じないのでこんな事に。が、やはり海外に来たからには日本人とはなるべく離れたい。皆フレンドリーで片言英語でも十分！また内容も夕食＆ショーの前のｱﾄﾗｸｼｮﾝがまたいい。カヌーに乗ったり頭のレイやプレス、色々遊んでくれました。あっという間に時間がたちショーの時間！
これまた迫力ありあり。私たちは結構ハワイのﾘﾋﾟｰﾀｰですが（7.8回）行ってますが。なかなか良いツアーで内容濃いし外国またハワイを堪能でき、すごく良いツアーだと思います。帰りも最後まで写真の対応をしてくれたり。だからこそ外国の方々も集まるのだろう。また参加したいです。

We enjoyed every minute of our visit there. Would make sure you look at the ocean and cove when you get there. We were having so much fun, didn't look, and couldn't see after dark. Food was plentiful. I think the best part was the show and the staff. They where wonderful and we truly felt like cousins.

This was the first Luau we had ever gone to and it exceded our expectations. The setting was amazing. It was truly a paradise. There were so many activities to participate in, the shows were beautifully performed, and all of the staff were so pleasant and helpful and the food was delicious. We have recommended it to everyone. It is an experience you don't want to miss. When we come back to Oahu, I know that the Paradise Cove Luau is one of the first things we will sign up for.

What a great time! We went with a group of 6 for my birthday and had an amazing time. We splurged for the delux, front row seating, and were placed right next to the stage, with lei greeting, drink tickets, great table service and perfect views.
We took part in the huki lau, the games, the imu ceremony, got our pictures taken with the royalty, my husband even got me on stage to hula! The food was amazing and the show was really great.
This was the 2nd visit for my husband and I, the first for our friends and everyone agreed it was totally worth it, a great time, and we will certainly come back again and again!

Good cultural luau

Reviewed by: Biochembelle

Transportation was convenient and our guide Trina made the trip entertaining. At the luau, they were very organized in dividing the guests into their seating areas. The crafts during free time and the staff assisting were excellent, though an hour wasn't enough time to get to all of the crafts. Dinner was very tasty, especially the kalua pork. As a previous reviewer has mentioned on this site, the drink coupons are valid only for certain drinks, but premium drinks can be purchased for an additional $3-7, depending on the drink and size. Please note it is a cash only bar. The bar was not well staffed, but the tour guides would fetch drinks for the guests, so at least we didn't have to stand in long lines. The bartenders were free with the quantities of alcohol going into the drinks. The dancing show was good, but I have seen better, particularly at the Polynesian Cultural Center. However, the PCC does not serve alcohol or caffeine. Also, this was the only time during our week stay on Oa

From the moment we got on the bus, we felt like we were in America! The two of us, a pair of middle-aged women, were entering a different world. Even though we didn't understand the language, we were in high spirits.

We were able to chat with a lawyer family from California, and everyone around us was very friendly. We were completely satisfied with everything! I think it's more enjoyable than being in a place with only Japanese people. I highly recommend it to everyone. With just a little courage and guts, it was really great!

We had a great time. The village was fun to visit. The staff was great. The performance of the Hula Dancers were terrific. We were seated with people who we did not know, but had lovely conversation and enjoyed ourselves. If you find you're not going to have a good time, then "bring your own good time" That's my philosophy. So our time here was fantastic.

An eye-opening experience in Hawaii. 目からウロコのハワイ体験

Reviewed by: nemonemo

ALOHA!
I see. Just like the reviews from experienced travelers said, my wife and I were the only Japanese tourists.
No matter if I looked to the right or the left, it felt like I was in the West!
The guide on the BUS was chatting away. It was so fast that I couldn't keep up with the interpretation.

Moreover, since we went on the same day we arrived, my brain wasn't in English mode and I was sleepy...

I feel like both my wife and I were mostly asleep while moving on the BUS. I think I occasionally woke up and said "TOW" or something.
The BUS number was 2.

Before the stage started, there were various performances happening here and there, but with my sleepy head, I couldn't really understand what was going on.

However, these activities were fine even without understanding the language.
They were peeling coconuts with stakes stuck in the ground, climbing coconut trees, and doing hula lessons.

The stage show during dinner was wonderful.
At one point, it got dark, and I thought, "Oh, is it already over? They can't just turn off the lights, can they?" But that was just the beginning.
There was a fire dance and amazing lighting effects, and I had a great time.

The roots of HAWAIIAN culture can be understood through the dance and costumes, tracing back from Southeast Asia to Micronesia, Polynesia, and then to the Hawaiian Islands.
It was a great learning experience.

MAHALO! Soon to be 60, nemonemo.

時々目覚めてＴＯＷとか言ってた様な気がします。

ステージが始まる前にアチコチで、いろんなパフォーマンスをやる訳ですが、寝ぼけの頭ではなんだか判らなくって。

でも、これらは、言葉が通じなくても平気ですねぇ。

食事中のステージのショーも素敵でした。
途中で、暗くなったんで、アレ、もう終りかヨ。照明を消すことはネェじゃねぇかよ。って思ってたら、ソレからが本番
ファイアーダンスが有ったり、素晴しい照明効果で、充分たのしんだんです。

ＨＡＷＡＩＩＡＮのルーツは、東南アジアからミクロネシアポリネシアそしてハワイ諸島ってのが、ダンスと衣装でわかります。

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I have been to Luau's before (on Maui and on Oahu) and was disappointed with this one. It was so "commercial" and lacking in the real feel of island music and culture. I suppose it was way bigger than any other I had been to so the sheer numbers make it a logistical problem.
I like to see something more genuine than that.
I had been to the Polynesian Cultural Centre and consider that they covered what I was looking for in a much more genuine mannner. That sort of concert material combined with a "real" cooking of food in the earth would have been better. There was not even any steam as the food was taken out of the "earth oven" - an anticlimax.

Our bus tour driver was dreadful but the staff at the actual site were brilliant. Overall though a disappointment.

What an awesome luau! It was our first time to Oahu, and our first time to a luau, and we highly recommend going to Paradise Cove!
The hostess on board our bus (#6) was funny and engaged the crowd. The events leading up to the meal, and show were quite entertaining, and the drinks from the bar were YUMMY!!
I made a bracelet from fresh flowers and TI leaves, and I even got a tattoo.
The show was AMAZING, and the food was quite good, too! We only chose the basic package, with 2 drinks, shell leis, and buffet seating, and were really happy with everything! Buy the photo they take when you arrive...great souvenir!
Can't wait to come back when my kids are a little older - we will definitely bring the family to
Paradise Cove next time!!
