Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

A must see for all visiting Hawaii

Reviewed by: Miller's

The Luau was great. My husband and I were visiting for our honeymoon and the Luau was one of our many excursions. This luau offered games and activities prior to the dinner and show. The entire event was wonderful and the food was good also. I would go 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 was a different world. 別世界でした。

Reviewed by: himi

It may be difficult for those who don't understand English at all. However, I think you can have a great time with just a little bit of English skills and the courage to take a step forward. There were really very few Japanese people, and we couldn't find anyone else besides us. The guide also spoke very little Japanese. But I think that's part of what makes it enjoyable. There were more than enough drinks and food. The events on stage were all wonderful, and I was quite satisfied. The city is of course lovely, but experiencing Hawaii in places like this is also great.

確かに英語が全然分からない人には難しいかもしれません。でも、少しの英語力と、一歩踏み出る度胸さえあれば充分楽しめると思います。
日本人は本当に少なくて、私たち以外に見つけることはできませんでした。
ガイドの方も、ほとんど日本語はしゃべれません。
でも、だからこそ楽しめるという部分もあると思います。
飲み物や食べ物は充分すぎるほど。
ステージでの催しも、どれもすばらしく、かなり満足できました。
街中も勿論素敵だけれど、こういった所でハワイを体験するのもいいですよ。

2nd Time and Better than the Last

Reviewed by: Jon

My partner and I brought his mom with us to Hawaii and this was the closing to our one week trip. The staff as always were exceptional. However, I wish there was more time to just relax instead of being herded around like a bunch of cattle. I felt that there was too much to do and see with so little time. We had the deluxe package, which we never got our photos and free gifts as promised. That was a big disappointment.

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's full of English. 英語だらけ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Overall, it was an English immersion experience. Of course, on the bus and even after arriving, we were the only Japanese group there.

Since we had to rely on the shuttle bus for transportation, it was really challenging to understand English.

There was a staff member on the shuttle bus who guided us. You need to remember the name of that staff member and the bus number for your seat at the venue, so it's essential to memorize that. In our case, Jackie was the staff member, and the bus number was 5.

We were quite unsure about when and where to gather for the return trip. In the end, after the show, everyone just got up from their seats and went shopping or wandered around, but it seemed we could return to the bus whenever we wanted. Since we were confused, we found Jackie, who was selling commemorative photos, asked her where the bus was, and managed to get back to the bus.

There were many anxieties, but the show was very impressive and really great. The food was delicious too. Now that I understand the flow of things from this experience, I would like to go again.

とにかく英語三昧でした。バスはもちろん、現地に着いてからも日本人は私たちグループだけでした。
バスでの送迎のため、勝手に行って勝手に帰ってくるというわけにはいかないので、英語のヒアリングをするのが本当に大変でした。

送迎のバスに担当者がいて、その人が案内してくれます。現地での席はその担当者の名前とバスの番号が必要になりますので、そこだけは必ず覚えておく必要があります。私たちのときは、ジャッキーが担当者で、バス番号は5番でした。

帰りの集合がいつなのか、どこなのか、とにかく手探りでした。結局ショーが終わったら、それぞれで適当に席を立ち、買い物をしたり、ブラブラしたりするようですが、もうバスに戻っていてもいいようです。私たちは、とにかく分からなかったので、記念写真を販売していたジャッキーを探しだし、バスの場所を聞き、バスに戻るとこができました。

不安はたくさんありましたが、ショーはとても迫力があり、すごくよかったです。ご飯もおいしかったです。今回の参加で、流れがわかったので、また行きたいと思います。

First luau

Reviewed by: Dena

This was our first luau that we've experienced and we're pretty happy w/Paradise Cove. The location is beautiful, the hosts and hostesses were very nice, and the activities were enjoyable. If only the activities could have lasted longer than the time they had allocated, it would have been better.

We loved the food and the show towards the end. The weather was perfect, and during the final show we saw a falling star. Perfect luau in paradise. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a great luau experience!

Reviewed by: Debbie Bowie Texas

My family really enjoyed this activity. We sat right beside the stage and it was wonderful. The bus ride was my sons favorite part. He did not want to go and I had to make him. Now ,if you ask him what his favorite thing he did while in Hawaii he will tell you the Luau at Paradise Cove. My family enjoyed the authintic dancing and singing. I printed our coupon/voucher off line and it all worked out great.

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: LeBlanc

I would recommend that anyone at any age range see a luau while visiting Hawaii. Paradise Cove was awesome. The entertainment was magnificant, the staff was very nice, my waiter was shy and asked for his picture not to be posted on the internet :) They feed you a lot of food. VIP is the way to gp because you stay seated, your food is served to you and for a hot afternoon you are under a cover with fans. You have a wonderful sunset view. Just GOOD LUCK if it rains!!

Relaxing, Beautiful, and Fun

Reviewed by: Krystle

First of all, I highly recommend the v.i.p box. I was kind of expecting an individual booth, but it’s actually an area under a shed seating about 30-40 people (8 people a table). Even though you’re sitting with other people, v.i.p beats getting up to stand in line for food. There would be a staff member serving you, also most important is the weather. A staff member I talked to mentioned that if it happens to rain, the only people that would be covered are people in v.i.p. If it does rain, there would be security guards blocking the v.i.p booth, if anyone with a standard seat tries to enter.

The activities are delightful, the gift shops are great, and I must have spent about 100-130 dollars just on souvenirs. The picture taken of us is beautiful. Going as a couple, 6 drink coupons each were plenty. When you enter you will receive a complimentary drink, so we actually had extra coupons by the end of the. The staffs are nice, helpful, and funny. It was a great luau………..

Fun Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Paradise Cove Luau was a very fun experience and it is great for families since they have activities you can participate in. The food was very delicious, I however would not recommend paying the extra for the Deluxe package with table service and 6 standard drink coupons. Table service was very slow, people who did the buffett had food way before we did AND there were other things on the buffett that table service guests did not receive.

Not for single people.

Reviewed by: Scott Perkins

Two things were very prominent on this excursion.

1) It seemed very focussed on couples. Lots of references for people celebrating engagements, weddings & anniversaries. There was also a special song played so couples could dance together.

2) There were too many add-ons where it seemed really obvious they were trying to get more money out of you ($15 to have your picture taken with some tropical birds for example and also the bar staff trying to talk you into getting the drinks that your free coupon doesn't quite cover). Some of the extra activites were pretty lame and the staff didn't really seemed interested in even pretending to be enthused about being there.

The actual show was pretty good, although it didn't really go on that long. I was at a VIP table and the waiter hovered around and couldn't take your plate so as to start the next course quick enough. No offer of if you would like some more or not despite the fact it was "all you can eat".

I really felt like a bit o

Great Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was the second luau that I've attended...it was very good and comparable to the first...the events going on in addition to the luau were an added bonus. Highly recommend upgrading it as we did, we were served our food instead of standing in line, we received a photo that they took at the beginning and the drinks were top of the line. We had front row seating! Made it SO much better for taking photos and viewing the performers! SO glad we upgraded it...worth the extra money :)

Loved the Luau!

Reviewed by: M & B

Several years ago, I went to a Hawaiian Luau...we ate dinner and watched a show...it was alright. PARADISE COVE LUAU was so much more! I loved it! Before dinner, there were several activities we could enjoy, as we drank our "welcome drink" or used our coupons to have some additional pre-dinner drinks. Activities included: canoe rides, spear-throwing, tatooing, flowered headband/bracelet making, poi practice, and dance lessons. The beach and sunset was beautiful. Negatives: Dinner was okay...my boyfriend liked it, but I'm a little more picky... Some (most) of the drinks required more than just a drink coupon (ie. "one coupon plus $3)...kind of misleading.
Overall, I totally recommend this Luau experience!

We had purchased the deluxe package. Our seats were in front of the stage and we had meal service instead of having to go through the buffet line. There were plenty of activities to do prior to the show. The show was great with the fire show being the best. The meal was ok not great. Overall we had a great time and would go back.
