Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Great luau!

Reviewed by: linda reitano

This was a very good luau. Things to do for the kids, a good dinner and show. Wish we were given more time to look around and do things but our bus was very late picking us up. I would recommend this luau otherwise.

Truly moving! 本当に感動!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as three couples, including my eldest daughter and her husband, to celebrate my wife's retirement and my youngest daughter's marriage. Since it was our first time, we chose the most luxurious course, and the guide Yuki, who is from Okinawa, was wonderful, as were the performances from each village (island). Occasionally having a dinner without alcohol was quite nice as well.

The highlight was the Horizons show. Everyone was moved by it. Since returning home, we have been enjoying the DVD and CD we received as gifts. Next time we participate, I might challenge myself to try the workshop course.

 家内の退職記念と下の娘の入籍祝いを兼ねて、長女夫妻を含めた3カップルの6名で参加。
 初めてなので一番贅沢な?コースを選択したのですが、案内してくれた沖縄出身のyukiさんのガイドも、それぞれの村(島)でのパフォーマンスも素晴らしい。たまにはアルコール抜きのデイナーもなかなかのもの。
 そして圧巻はHorizonsショー。全員で感動していました。
 帰国してからも、プレゼントされたDVDyaCDを愉しんでいます。
 また参加するときは、ワークショップのコースにチャレンジしてみようかな。

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Mary Siart

We had a great time! The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The actual location and grounds of the Luau are beautiful and we watched the sunset over the ocean. The dancers were very good, and our host, Linden, was absolutely wonderful. He is a crack up and came up with a lot of things to entertain us on the bus. The bar tenders were quick and you never had to wait long for drinks. Jasmine pours a killer Mai Tai. Also, the quality of the rum is good......no hangovers the next day.

Fun @ the Polynisian Cuktural Ctr.

Reviewed by: Elly from Massachusetts

My husband and I spent the day at the Cultural Ctr. the day after Christmas. Our tour escort "Cousin Will" picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the various villages throughout the day. It was an educational day and a lot of fun as well. We learned so much about the different cultures, their language, their dance and their stories. The luau was fun and tasty. The Horizon's show was a spectacular finale of the day, the best show on the island of Oahu. I would recommend this experience for any first timers to the islands of Hawaii. And it's true that you can't see everything in one day. I wish we could have stayed longer. Enjoy!

Hawaii Rookies

Reviewed by: Hawaii Rookies

What a fantastic all-day affair!! The frequent "say aloha" prompts from the tour guides was a bit much and got old, but the actual activity was a fabulous and impressive one. We hope to return to Hawaii someday and will repeat this one. Do be aware that they charge extra for a tour guide, but it is worth it for the first time.

I recommend Samoa Village. サモア村お勧めです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated when I took my parents to Hawaii for the first time. Of course, the night show "Horizons" was amazing, but the most fun for our family was especially in the Samoa Village, with the fire-starting demonstration and coconut cracking, and the chant of "Stone coconut, stone coconut, stone..." still brings back joyful memories for my parents. We laugh every time we watch the video. It's a classic in Hawaii, and I recommend participating at least once! We could have driven there ourselves, but driving at night with jet lag can be dangerous, so joining the tour was a safe choice.

父母を初めてハワイに連れていった時に参加しました。もちろん
夜のショー「ホライズン」もすごいですが・・・私達の家族の中で、一番楽しかったのは、特にサモア村で、火おこしの実演やココナッツ割りや火起こしでの『石 椰子 石 椰子 石・・・・』は今でも父母の楽しかった思い出のようで・・・
ビデオを見ては笑ってしまいます。ハワイの定番ですが、一度は参加!!お勧めです。自分達で、車でも行けますが、、時差ボケでの夜の運転は危ないので、OPツアー参加は安心して行けました。

Reviewed by: Danielle

My favorite part of the experience was seeing the Samoan fire dancer at the end of the evening show, "Horizons". It was a beautiful, exciting and fun performance! He was also doing a cooking demonstration earlier that day at the Samoan camp. He was funny, charming, and kept us smiling. You can tell that he really loves what he does. I also loved how everyone who worked at the park seemed excited to share their culture.

polished production

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Event was extremely well-organized... hard-working staff efficiently received, fed and entertained 800 guests in an outdoor venue over a brief timeframe. Optional transportation from Honolulu is advantageous because the guide promotes partying door to door and the bus driver is the designated driver. Buffet provided sufficient choices for a vegetarian!

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>

Paradise Cove Resort パラダイスコーブルアウ

Reviewed by: 弘康

This is actually my third time participating in this activity. Why do I join the Paradise Cove Luau? It's because I really enjoy it, and I believe it's the best luau on Oahu.

First of all, I definitely recommend Paradise Cove to those who are visiting Hawaii for the first time. The reasons are: it's reasonably priced for what you get, there are hula lessons and activities for kids before the show starts, and they provide transportation to and from the hotel.

However, I can't say the food is particularly delicious; I recommend participating mainly for the show. The relatively tasty dish was the fried chicken. As for poi (mashed taro, a staple food for locals, similar to rice in Japan), it doesn't taste great on its own, but when eaten with lomilomi salmon, it actually becomes quite tasty. Eating it with side dishes is definitely better than just having rice alone.

You can also enjoy the sunset and stargazing, so I think you can experience a side of Hawaii that you won't find in Waikiki. If you're a first-timer, why not give it a try? I'm planning to bring someone who is visiting Hawaii for the first time again next year.

このアクティビティーに参加するのは実は3回目なんです。
なぜこのパラダイスコーブルアウに参加するのか?
それはもちろん気に入っているからですが、オアフ島では一番いいルアウだとおもいます。
まず私はハワイが初めてという方にこのパラダイスコーブルアウを必ず薦めます。
その理由は?内容の割りにリーズナブルであること。?ショーが始まる前にフラレッスンや子供向けのアクティビティーがあること。?ホテルまで送迎があることです。
ただし料理は特においしいとは言えませんあくまでショーを目的に参加されることをお勧めします。
料理で比較的美味しかったのはフライドチキンです。
ポイ(タロイモの磨り潰したもので現地の方の主食・日本の米のようなもの)の食べ方ですがそれだけ食べても美味しくないですがロミロミサーモンなどと一緒に食べると実は結構美味しいんです。米だけ食べるよりおかずも一緒に食べた方が美味しいでしょ。
サンセットや星空も一緒に楽しめるのでワイキキに無いハワイを楽しめると思います。
初めての方一度参加してみてはいかがですか?
私は来年またハワイ初めての方を連れて参加予定です。

My family and I enjoyed our whole day in PCC. We manage to visit all the 7 tribes of polynesia thanks to our to guide. He was very courteos and very friendly specially to our little ones. The day went very smooth although the weather was hot and muggy. The food at the luau was good as well as the performances of the girls and cousin benny. It was a delightfull dinner indeed. After the luau, we had 1 hour free time to ourselves to visit the souviener shops and check our photos taken during the day. A bit expensive for an 8X10 picture but we bit the bullet for the sake of remembrance. The night show was splendid. They pretty much showed all the seven tribes altogether and made a fabuluos show. Hula dancers were good, they were great shaking their butts. Men were also good at what they do. They really played their part as a tribe warriors. They added a little humor which I thought was cool such as slipping down the floor and pretending to hurt their butt. The three men fire dancers remind

Paradise Cobra Au パラダイスコーブルアウ

Reviewed by: Kin_kin_T

I decided on this activity after seeing posts from people who had participated before. It's true that if you don't speak English, you might feel a bit lost at first since all the explanations are in English. However, once you get there, there are various events leading up to the actual dinner and show, such as making bracelets and crowns with flowers. You will need to give tips, so it might be a good idea to prepare a few $1 bills. The time flew by. My family participated, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Since everything was in English and most of the participants were Americans, it was nice to experience the unique vibe of America. Including the pick-up time, it takes about half a day, so it might be wise to plan with some extra time. I highly recommend this option. Both options I booked through Alan were great!

以前参加をされた方の書き込みを見て、このアクティビティに決めました。確かに英語ができないと説明も全て英語なので、全く理解できないと最初はとまどうかもしれませんが、現地にいってしまえば実際のディナーとショウまで、色々な催しものがありので(花でブレスレットを作ったり、冠を作成したりとう、チップを上げなくてはなりませんので、$1を何枚か準備していかれるとよいかも)時間はあっと言う間でした。家族で参加したのですが、皆とても楽しめたようでした。全てが英語で、アメリカ人の参加者がほとんどだったので、アメリカの独特ののりのよさも味わえてよかったみたいでした。送迎時間も含めて、半日かかるので、余裕をもって予定をたてるとよいかも。すごくお勧めのオプションでした。アランで申し込んだオプションは二つともよかったです!

I have been to Hawaii more than ten times, and half of those visits have been to this place. I don't know why, but it's an attractive place that makes you want to come back. I think it's more suited for families and friends rather than couples. It's a great place because you can experience the culture.

私はハワイに10回以上いってますが、その半分はここにきています。なぜかわからりませんが魅力的で、また行きたくなる場所です。カップル。というよりは家族や友達にむいているばしょだとおもいます。文化を体感できるのでとてもいい場所だと思います。

Paradise Cove Luau Show パラダイスコーブ ルアウショー

Reviewed by: ハワイ6回目さん

This was my second time participating, and I felt it had been upgraded compared to two years ago. First, the guide on the shuttle bus made us laugh (in English). Upon arrival, we took photos with the dancers (you can purchase them later for $15 if you like). There were about two hours before the show started, filled with a variety of activities such as canoeing, tattoos, hula dance lessons, and lei making, so there was no chance of getting bored. This time, we had table service for dinner (the fried chicken is exquisite, and the pork is, of course, delicious too). Six people sit at one table, and the others were Americans. It might be tough if you're not sociable and can't speak English. If you're in a group of four or more, you probably won't feel out of place (but if it's just two of you, you'll be sitting next to each other with strangers across the table).

I believe there were about 600 guests, and it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there.

I think you can enjoy it even if you can't speak English. Don't forget to tip the guide when you get off the bus, about $5 per person.

I was actually considering the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, and luckily got to see it from the sidelines the day before, but I think Paradise Cove offers better cost performance. I'm glad I participated.

今回は2回目の参加だったのですが、2年前に比べてバージョンアップした気がしました。まず、送迎バスの中でガイドさんは笑わせてくれます(英語)。着いてからまずダンサーとの写真(後で気に入れば購入、15ドル)。カヌーやタトゥー、フラダンスレッスン、レイ作りなど、ショーが始まるまで2時間ぐらいあったのですが多彩なイベントが用意されており、退屈はしません。今回はテーブルサービスでディナーを頂きました(フライドチキンは絶品です。ポークももちろんおいしいですが)。6人が一つのテーブルになるのですが、周りはアメリカ人でした。社交的かつ英語が話せないと辛いかもしれません。4人以上のグループであれば浮くことはないでしょう(二人だと隣同士になり向かいが見知らぬゲストになるので)。

確か600人ぐらいのゲストだったと思うのですが、日本人は私達だけのようでした。

英語ができなくても楽しめると思います。バスを降りる時ににガイドさんにチップをお忘れなく。一人当たり5ドルぐらいでしょうか。

実は迷っていたロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーも前日に袖からラッキーにも見ることができたのですが、パラダイスコーブの方がコストパフォーマンスはいいと思いました。参加してよかったです。
