Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Fun but felt rushed.
Reviewed by: UtahMommy
This luau was really fun and I am glad we chose it over the PCC so we could have the real mai tai's! Our guide (cousin Kahale) was a hoot! He made the trip so enjoyable and deserves a raise. We got stuck in traffic so it took forecer to get there and then we were rushed to try and do the activities which were just hum drum to begin with. But the absolutely stunning scenery on the beach where it is located is to die for and made up for the lack of interest in activities. I enjoyed the food and the show very much and would defiantely go back and take the whole family.

Lovely Luau
Reviewed by: Russ & Barb
We reviewed this Luau on the internet prior to our arrival and felt that this was the one and we were sincerely not disappointed. In fact, this was our second Luan during our stay and I assure you that this one is and was the best.
Not only was our Luau experience the best the drive to and from the event on bus #5 was fantastic. The driver was U and the guide/orator was Pompani (I think). You should have at least ten (10) Pompani’s since he made the experience a time to remember.
He was courteous, experienced, and a real performer. He was able to make the trip to and from one to remember. In addition the Luau, performance, food, and location were fantastic. We would sincerely recommend this to anyone that we will interface with if they want places to go on their Hawaiian vacation.
Please let Pompani know that he made the evening one to remember and do whatever it takes to keep him on your staff.

What you'd want in a Luau!
Reviewed by: Catherine
I loved the Paradise Cove Luau! It's location is beautiful! A sunset party on a private beach is a great way to start off your Hawaiian vacation! I went to the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center years ago, and the festivities were very nice, but there were no cocktails, and no beach. At Paradise Cove, it really felt like a party. I even got a Hula certificate for coming on stage to learn! We booked the Orchid (middle) level, and it seemed just right. I love the orchid leis that we received. If there was one thing I would like to change, it was that even though 3 drinks were "included" in my package, almost every drink still cost $1-$6 extra. I expected only to pay gratuity out-of-pocket when I got there. Overall, though, I had a great time!

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＞
オススメです！！！
Reviewed by: とん
体験談に英語ばかり、日本人が少ない。と書き込みがあり、不安でしたが、スタッフの方が片言の日本語で説明してくださいますし、バスの中でのお話は、英語だらけですが、一日のスケジュールを日本語案内のメモを配ってくださいますし、安心です。
私の参加した回は、３組の日本人の方がいました。
英語の全くわからない私でしたが、海外の雰囲気・ノリを味わえ貴重な体験でした。
ショーが始まるまで、カヌー体験をしウミガメに出会えました。タトゥーを書いてもらったり、楽しいうれしい体験でした。
ショーが始まる前に食事をとりに行く時間があります。フライドチキン絶品です。ショーの最中に飲み物がなくなるとスタッフの方が気を利かして飲み物をとりに行ってくださり、ゆっくりとショーを満喫できました。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
mediocre...
Reviewed by: Lyn Ann
A bit overrated and touristy, im a vegetarian who does eat seafood but there were no vegetarian options so veggies beware as you;ll be stuck only eating salad, activities sound a lot more interesting on paper then in person, consists of a 2 second canoe ride in a circle near the shore, throwing a stick at a bale of hay, someone making you a flower bracelet, and throwing a wooden thing and a stone against a board, the actual luau dance was pretty good and the fire dance was amazing, dinner should be served sooner and the real entertainment should start earlier, the bus took forever to get there and your free mai tai just tastes like juice and no alcohol. drinks were way overpriced but is nice that your ticket includes 3 free drinks but our quite small and they loor people into buying bigger ones for 3 dollars each so they make the money back. all in all it was good to experience it for my first time but it was very unauthentic and cheesy to us.

Great Luau
Reviewed by: Iain F.
Enele was a great driver and full of knowledge. He also became our tour guide once we arrived at the cultural center. He took us around and explained the different cultures and his own culture (Samoa) in great detail. The food at the luau was great with the Kalua pork and Lomi Lomi being my favorite. Poi was actually not bad after all the bad things I heard about it. The entertainment during dinner was great. We even got on stage for a little dance. The show was incredible, portraying the AH of life. The fire dancers were awesome. Overall was a great experience and would recommend to everyone.

Everyone had a good time. They could spend a little more time on the entry photo. Was not good quality. Also, the bird man was rather rude. I would not recommend anyone having their picture taken by him. The rest of the staff was outstanding.

This was by far one of the greatest honeymoon activities my husband and I did. If you decide to choose this luau, it is definitely worth the money to get the VIP front row seating. No waiting in line, and you are right by the stage! Definitely worth the money hula and fire dancer were awesome!

This was a very unique place. It was beautiful. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgable. The night show was the best show I have ever seen. My recommendation is to get the ambassodor package so that you have a guide. It is very crowded and somewhat hard to navigate around so having a guide is definitely worth the extra money. Food wasn't that great but was the same as other luaus in the area. Overall it's a must see!

Monday evening Luau
Reviewed by: Married 13 years
We had a wonderful time. There were a lot of children there and the staff used quite a lot of sexual innuendo so I would not take my children. Was not crowded. We got to do quite a few of the activities and crafts which was fun. I felt pampered and the night was romantic. The pork is out of this world. Pleanty of food. Music and dancing were fabulous.
Note:get to know your camera and practice taking photos at dusk with moving images. Otherwise when you get home your photos willl be all blurry.

Great time
Reviewed by: Montreal couple
We would recommend the Polynesian cultural center for many reasons. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great fun to be so immersed in the cultures presented...dancing in Tahiti, singing and playing music in Fiji to name just a couple. The luau was a great opportunity to see the many different forms of hula dancing, and the food was great and plentiful.
In short, the Polynesian Cultural Center should not be missed!

Dinner cud hv been Authentic...
Reviewed by: GeeKay
I think overall the package was the best and most unique experience I have ever enjoyed but I think the Dinner timings werent quite right and could be delayed a bit and also the staff were kinda urgent towards the end of buffet timings that we really couldnt enjoy the Dinner all the way till dessert. That kinda impacted me not to give 5 Star for it. And believe me you need the whole full day to cover PCC and half day wont do justice for this unique experience.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Paradise Cove Luau - July 2010
Reviewed by: RC
As a first time visitor to Hawaii ,I was not sure what to expect from a Luau. The Luau actually begins on the bus ride to Paradise Cove. We were greeted, welcomed and entertained by our host, "Cousin Bronson." He told funny stories and jokes and explained what to expect before we arrived to our destination. This made everyone feel "connected" and a part of the "family."
Paradise Cove Luau was enjoyable and it was a great experience for all of us. The Paradise Cove entertainers were very well trained and showed a great deal of confidence and expertise in their skills and their dances. Afterwards, they were available for pictures and autographs. Paradise Cove is a wonderful setting for a luau. Very beautiful location for the setting sun pictures.
The trip back to our hotel was another entertaining ride with more stories and jokes from Bronson. I would recommend Paradise Cove Luau to anyone. Great job!

A full day of entertainment
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
A long day, but well worth it! Even the bus ride was good. This was the best luau experience we had, easily beating out the one offered by NCL on Kaua'i, which was very good. It was a hot day, and the line for shaved ice was long, but that is the only negative. All of the cultural shows we saw were excellent and there were even pre-shows for those who arrived early. The food was good (along with another show), and the main show at the end (Ha, Breath of Life) was outstanding.
If you are looking for an intimate on-the-beach luau, this is not it. The PCC provides a first-rate experience for thousands of people, and does so with minimal delays and great views from any seating location. I am so glad we went. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
nice experience
Reviewed by: jeannette
Going to a luau is something everyone should do at least once. Paradise cove is beautiful and the staff very friendly. The "games" are not impressive, but give you something to do. The show is good. The food is good but not labeled, so try everything. Did not like most of the native dishes, but the pork and chicken were excellent. The drinks are poured in front of you, shots measured and often generous. Unless you are a drinker, I would not say they are watered down. You can purchase bigger, "better" drinks as well. (i didn't need to.) Had the standard package and would not bother with more expensive packages, seats are all good and buffet lines move quickly and plenty of food. Bring small bills for tips. I would recommend this activity to family and friends. Some small children there, ok for kids.

One thing that I was told by anyone who visited your island was to attend a Luau. After reading reviews on websites, I chose the Paradise Cove experience. I am very glad I did. My two year old granddaughter enjoyed the activities and dancing as much as my 70 year old mother. If you leave this experience hungry, you have no one to blame but yourself. The ocean view was gorgeous and the sunset that night was breathtaking. Thank You!!!

迫力ありました。
Reviewed by: 匿名希望
送迎付のコースを頼みましたが、皆さんが書かれている通りバスの中はほとんど外国人で、案内も英語だけでした。
ショーはさすがに迫力がありました。
デラックスで頼みましたが、席は前のほうではなく一番後ろの一段高いところでした。
途中で雨が降ってきましたが、そこには屋根がありましたので、そちらの席でよかったです。
一緒に行った人達は、本場のルアウショーが見れて良かった。
でも、英語がわからないので、わかるともっと楽しかったかな。
と言っていました。
ご飯は美味しかったです。
順番に色々持ってきていただいて、ビュッフェではなかったのですが、量は食べきれないぐらいでした。
4枚ついていたドリンクチケットはやはり飲みきれずに余ってしまい、もったいなかったです。

最高のエンターテイメント
Reviewed by: 匿名希望
今回、ファミリーをもてなすためにこのツアーに参加しました。
色々な方が書いていた通り、日本人の参加者は極端に少ないです。ゆえにバスでの移動を含め現地でも日本語は全く通じないという認識で参加する方が良いと思います。
ただし、ある程度のヒアリングと片言でも自分の意思を伝えられるだけの単語力があれば十分に楽しめます。
ショーが始まるまでの間の、レイを作ったり、ハクレイを作ったりするコーナーも、自分が日本人である事を忘れて楽しめるものでした。
サンセットと共にルアウが始まるのですが、もうそこからは驚きの連続。
フラをはじめとした、ハワイの伝統芸能やポリネシアやタヒチの踊り。
そして、一番盛り上がったファイアーダンス。
食事については、高級ディナーとは違うので、あまり期待するべきではありませんが、フライドチキンは最高に美味しかったです。
連れていったファミリーはみんな楽しんでくれました。
折角異国の地に来んだから、日本人観光客の少ない環境でめいっぱい楽しんでしまうのも有りだと思います。
風がある日だと、夜は冷え込むし、移動のバス内のエアコンがかなり利いているので、上に羽織るものは必須です。
