Everything was amazing from to buy the tickets online on the VELTRA website and went to the luau! Such a great Hawaiian Experience.
Reviewed by: Diana , 2019/05/31Paradise Cove Luau is a wonderful Luau to visit in Oahu. The event is well organized and the food was really delicious.
It was my anniversary and I let them know I was celebrating it and they put my name on the screen wishing Happy Bday. I loved the kindness!

流石伝統を受け継ぐルアウをたんのうすることができますた。
Reviewed by: トオル, 2019/05/06連休を利用してハワイ旅行に行きました。オプショナルを探していたところコオリナに本物のルアウを堪能できるパラダイスコーブがあることを知り興味本位に申し込みをしました。申し込みの日、開場の30分前に行くともう大勢の人が並んでいました。開場が始まりウエルカムドリンク(アルコールかソフトドリンク)をいただきレイの歓迎を受け入場しました。その後、席の場所を前の方から予約してくれます。列ぶ意味がわかりました。食事までアクティビティを楽しめます。ホラガイの音に皆集まります。言葉がわからなくても楽しめました。ちなみに今日は日本人は一人もいませんでした。外国に来たってかんじですか！食事はバイキング方式で伝統の豚の丸焼きも食べれます。ショーは最高です。今まで見たフラ、ルアウと一味違います。ぜひご賞味あれ！！

Most memorable part of visiting Oahu!
Reviewed by: Kelsy, 2019/02/13We ended up saving this activity for our last evening on the island (which was Monday, February 11th), and it was truly the perfect way to end our trip. The culture and setting of this event were brilliant, and the food was good with a fair amount of variety (I am a vegetarian, but my boyfriend RAVED about the pork).
If you are staying in Waikiki, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to Paradise Cove. We left around 3:45, and I believe it took us nearly an hour to get there, given the traffic. I would also strongly suggest flip flops or open-toed shoes, as the entire event takes place on the beach (I was silly and made the mistake of wearing tennis shoes). In February it was a bit chilly in the evening, so I would also recommend a light jacket and sunglasses.
The entire crew and cast were exceptional, and I appreciated getting a glimpse into the culture. Overall, my favorite experience while here.

Great time at our first-time luau!
Reviewed by: Joshua Buck, 2018/11/14My wife and I for our 1-year wedding anniversary decided upon the Paradise Cove Luau out of a few different choices. After speaking with locals and drivers on the island, this one seems to be the favorite. We were picked up from a close-by location in Wakiki, taken to Paradise Cove and from there, it was smooth and fun times!
PROS: Overall experience was great! Our bus guide (Sexy T) was fun-loving, funny, and made the drive out to the cove enjoyable. The luau itself includes spear throwing, traditional games, pictures (for purchase towards the end but free to participate), a short cove canoe ride, gift shop, crafts both to make and pre-made for sale, and many other activities. The food was second-to-none, buffet style and DELICIOUS. Coming from a southern guy, the pork was the best and I know good BBQ. The luau show was entertaining and keeps your attention.
CONS: The cove card is nice, pays for 1-3 drinks depending on the money placed on there (which depends on your package), but with any venue event, the drinks are pricey but, in my opinion, strong enough to be worth the money. I only list this as a con because this is not an all-you-can-drink event. Adding this option would be nice for those guests that wish to imbibe.
As for seating, we went with the Standard Package (cheapest) and lucked up with excellent seats that were very close to the stage. There is a greater likelihood for poorer seats with the Standard Package, so if you want to ensure a good view, upgrade to the middle option.
All-in-all, fantastic experience and a must-see for all Hawaii travelers, especially first-timers like us!

Annaversery Luau
Reviewed by: Georges , 2018/07/03It started with pick up , Cousin Emma and a great big Aloha we traveled to Paradise Cove , when we arrived we got our photo taken , then we were given a compliment Mai Ti . We walked around and watched several events that were happening purchased a few more cocktails . We then were gathered in an ampatheater to watch the pig getting removed, we were then invited to the dinning area where the meal was ready to be served . The meal was simply amazing we had never been to a luau before and this was excellent and now the show , the dancers singers and musicians put on on tremendous show. If you are looking to go to a luau this is the one to go for Aloha !

Paradise Cove Luau
Reviewed by: Terry F., 2018/05/08The experience was great. Cousin Ema was a wonderful host/guide. It is amazing how she was able to remember everyone's name.
The show was great the sound and lighting were spot on and even though it rained a bit, the show still went on without a hitch.
The food was good, and plenty of it. Drinks were a bit pricey, but where in these type of things are they not?
Transportation there and back was spot on. and very comfortable. Again Ema was a wonderful host.
We would recommend this tour for any of our friends going to the island.

お祝い好きのハワイアンの最高のショーでした。
Reviewed by: chikaqyu, 2018/04/11ハネムーンで、ハワイにいき、ルアウをみてきました。ハワイの人達は、お祝い好きらしく、バースデーや、ハネムーン、結婚記念日などの参加者たちに対して、ショータイム中にお祝いしてくれました。参加型のショーもあり、とても楽しめました。お料理も美味しかったですが、何よりショーの前の体験コーナーも充実していて、ハワイムードを満喫する事ができました。席も、真ん中の最前列に座れて大満足のツアーでした。

First trip to Hawaii and first Luau.
Reviewed by: Keith Kettler, 2018/04/07This was our first trip to Hawaii and our first Luau. We didn't know exactly what to expect but we were hoping for a true Hawaiian experience. The show was more than we expected. Great entertainment and the fire dance was awesome. The buffet was very good, the entertainment prior to the main show was very good. The show was worth every penny.

Amazing!
Reviewed by: Marissa DeLeon, 2017/11/08The whole experience was amazing! We got picked up at our hotel in Waikiki at 4pm, our bus staff were awesome especially “Cousin” Hula, she was hilarious and made the bus ride there and back wonderful. She also was one of the workers at the Luau and waited on us. The dancers were so talented and the food was delicious. The cherry on top to a perfect week was the beautiful view that comes with Paradise Cove, breathtaking..

All I could hope for in a luau
Reviewed by: Charlene , 2017/10/09Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. We attended Paradise Cove Luau after reading numerous online reviews and asking for recommendations from some of the island residents. It was everything we could have hoped for. We paid for the royal box and it was worth every penny. The view of the stage was excellent, and the table service was very professional. The food and drinks were very good and there was a very nice variety of food. The view at Paradise Cove was right off of a post card. Perfect. I can’t say enough good things about our evening at Paradise Cove. Highly recommend.

Interactive and fun
Reviewed by: Honeymooner, 2017/09/12This experience was great as the staff and entertainers were all interactive with guests. Everyone was experienced and understanding if guests did/didn't want to dance. In fact, since I am typically shy and not the center of attention it was great to get involved, embarrass my self, and walk away with others in the same situation not feeling guilty. Great and personable staff with a sense of humor and pride in their culture. Thanks!

Celebrating our 1st year anniversary
Reviewed by: mcavalheiro, 2017/08/31I went to Paradise Cove luau with my husband and I had a wonderful time.
Before serving the food there are a lots of different activities & games that you can participate and learn about the Hawaiian Culture. It was really cool to see them climbing the coconut tree and to play the hawaiian games. I even got a fake Polynesian tattoo!
The food was delicious, the buffet offers a huge selection and there are option for all kinds of tastes. The drinks are nice too.
I was afraid of not being able to see the show very well but my seats were really good. The show is very entertaining and the dancers are very talented. My favorite part was the fire-knife dancing!
Overall it was very pleasant and romantic evening! The location is beautiful and you can take great sunset pictures! Thank you VELTRA for helping me set up the perfect night to celebrate my 1st year anniversary!

Romantic Evening
Reviewed by: Victor L, 2017/08/14The day starts off a bit slow, as the activities are very basic, and the area isn't very big. Where this excursion shines is the dinner and show. The dinner buffet was delicious, and the show was phenomenal, and well worth the price of admission.

Better than even advertised!
Reviewed by: Mark and Amy H. , 2017/06/30What a wonderful way for us to end our 2 week 25th wedding anniversary stay on the Hawaiian Islands. We stayed on 3 different Islands and planned from the beginning to end it here at Paradise Cove for an authentic Luau. What a great call! It was even better than we had anticipated. You can't come to Hawaii and not do this! The food, venue, and wow, the entertainment was so spot on and professional. These people absolutely know how to entertain and make an evening memorable for a lifetime. Thank you so much for all the preparation and hard work. WOW!
