Bus was late, missed beginning. Paid for V.I.P. and nothing was V.I.P. Show was good what we could see. Crowded seating. Food ok, pork was very salty. Pineapple drink was $30 and didn't except the tickets given to us for it. Wouldn't take cash for pictures, only card. $30 for picture.

Great time! The luau was fantastic. Highly recommend. The “goodies” you get were great too. The food was ok but you’re not there for the food! But the food was fine. I enjoyed it. But the actual luau was fantastic. Well worth It!! A definite must see!!

This was so worth the money! The show itself was worth the ticket. Food was great too. Having a taste of everything was good so you know what you like and don't. I sprung for the pick up and drop off which was great so I didn't have to worry about being just a teenie tiny bit tipsy. :) The dancers were fantastic and it was obvious everyone was enjoying themselves. Would definitely go back.

I loved everything about the traditional dance and music. Amazing — especially the fire show. The rest was a huge cattle roundup with loading us onto buses, standing in lines, sitting in long tables, getting food like school lunches — all in a not-ambiance-producing water park. So I honor the Chief and his love, as well as Cousin Lisa our bus driver’s spirit of love and family but there was nothing relaxing about this production. Luau’s should be on grass among trees near water with time to socialize and enjoy the time with new friends and old. Thank you for sharing Polynesian culture though!

We purchased the Royal package and it was worth the extra $. We were the first to go up to dinner and front row seating.
The show was funny and entertaining! The Chief put in a lot of funny jokes and taught the audience some Hawaiian words and phrases. Food was great, with roasted pork as the centerpiece with lots of authentic-tasting foods.
Would definitely do it again!

My last night in Hawaii was with Chief’s luau. The food was great, the performers was breathtaking and the whole evening was delicious. I’ll never forget how welcomed I felt with that lei made with real flowers. I kept it . It simply a must do . It was my birthday and they sang happy birthday to me. I could go on an on. Great party.

Great show and good food. Just be aware this is long, we were there almost 4 hours from start to finish. Could be a little shorter in my opinion, but the fire thrower was the best we have ever seen at a luau.

This was not our first luau so we had something else to compare it to. The story line/context of the dance/show was very similar, performed better at Chief’s, the comedy was fantastic but the food fell so far short I felt like we paid way too much for the overall experience.

The Luau was a nice night out. If you are going a couple of tips: 1) opt in for the bus transportation. The site is about an hour from Waikiki in an industrial park. 2) Get the VIP seats. We were seated right next to the stage and received a photo and 3 free drinks. The stage show was excellent and authentic. The food was hit or miss. It was served cafeteria style where you had to go in a serving line like a cafeteria. The pork was 5 stars, while the rest of the meal was 3 stars. Overall, a nice evening next to the ocean (Excellent Views).
Aloha John, Thank you so much for choosing our luau, and so happy to hear that you had a nice experience. We feel the bus transportation is the best option, it may be a long ride getting there, but safer on your return if you're going to enjoy a few cocktails. Our VIP, or Plumeria Luau package was a great choice, with the extra amenities, 3 drink tickets, and the souvenir photo, as well as the Premiere seating! We appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us, and hope you will share your beautiful photos with your friends & family! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

We had a very enjoyable time at Paradise Cove. From the start when our bus driver and tour guide picked us up until they dropped us off, it was exceptional. The activities before the main performance were very good. The live performance was exceptional. The dancers and other performers were great. The food and beverages were good as well. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our vacation on Oahu.

The luau was on a beach so the views were incredible. The luau itself always had something to do during the 4 hours you were there. There were 600 people there and they had activities you can do until the show started such as taking pics with colorful parrots (costs extra), kayaking, and throwing arrows. The buffet was pre-portioned and consisted of fried fish, Pork, buns, poi, salad, rice, a cupcake, and ribs. It was very filling. The show was very comical and i highly recommend. I just wish the seating was a little closer since I was at the winged tables.
