Ko Olina and Paradise Cove, A-!

Posted on: 2019/03/14

Overall, the dolphin cruise and Paradise Cove luau was well worth it!

The instructions were clear on where we'd get picked up, and it was at our hotel. The driver was 10 minutes early and called our names at the station so we didn't have to hunt for the bus! We therefore arrived at the pickup point for the cruise early, allowed us plenty of time to check in and get ready for the boat. The lady that checked us in gave us clear instructions (and wrote them down) on how to catch the shuttle to the luau after the cruise. Once on the boat, the crew was clear and concise about what to expect while sailing and snorkeling. We got 3 free drink tickets, and all we could drink after that! The boat was Catamaran style, so it was mostly a smooth ride despite a small craft advisory.

We arrived at the luau about an hour before the gates opened (I guess a good thing, but made for some hurry up and wait style standing around). The luau was fantastic... there was about an hour and a half between when gates opened and the events started. There were activities like crafting and games to kill time, plus the advertised demonstrations. The food was delicious and plentiful and the entertainment included all kinds of Pacific island traditions, and involved the audience.

The only hiccup was the bus back to Waikiki. We handed our bus ticket to someone who I think put us on the wrong bus because it dropped us off next door to our hotel, but when we signed up it said we'd go back to ours. Just a small inconvenience.

Overall excellent experience, 5 stars!!
