Fantastic Evening!!!
Reviewed by: Kim, 2015/06/21Everything was wonderful!!!! From the bus ride with our awesome host, the activities, seating, food and show. It was a fantastic night out and great value for money. The food was incredible and the setting was just gorgeous. The performers were top quality and the whole show was executed with precision! I would recommend this Luau to anyone. Thanks to our driver & host for making even the drive back so enjoyable.

Wonderful luau atmosphere! Beautiful location!!
Reviewed by: Katie Morales, 2015/06/16We loved this luau! Our tour guide, Cousin Rich, was HILARIOUS and memorized everyone's name on the bus!! He took great care of us, and even sang us a lullaby on the way home...he's got one heck of a voice!
The games before the luau started were short & fun, and the hula dancers were great!! This was the first activity on our Honeymoon, and we were not disappointed. The emcee even mentioned our names during the show and had us get up to dance near the stage to the Hawaiian wedding song...it was an amazing experience. The food was good, the show was excellent, and the location was like a postcard! Singers, hula dancers, and fire twirlers were all part of the evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this luau!!

Great way to end
Reviewed by: cali4nia, 2015/05/27My husband and I attended on our last full day at Hawaii and I am sooooooooo happy that we did. I think this was a great way to end our vacation even though we hated having to leave the beautiful island! This place, the venue, the set-up, activities, dinner, drinks and show was just AMAZING to say the least. The staff, especially cousin Rich(ie), he was the best bus guide/tour guide/table attendent/just overall everything the best. He was able to memorize all of our names before we arrived at Paradise Cove and there were at least 50 minimum on the bus. Even more amazing during the festivities he checked on everyone to make sure we all had what we needed and if we had any questions/help he assisted. Now that's what I call excellent customer service! (there were hundreds of other people at the luau). To sum it all up, upon return to Hawaii I will definitely go back to Paradise Cove. Best Lava Flow drinks, met some great people, fantabulous show and created lifetime memories !!!!!!!

Nice evening
Reviewed by: Josh, 2015/03/21Kids both loved the experience. Plenty of activities to do that are included in the price. There are a lot of places to spend more money. Food was good, not great, but lots of options. Everyone was nice and it was well run. Entertainment was great.

Second Time To Paradise Cove Luau ~ will continue to go back!
Reviewed by: Carolyn, 2014/09/07Took my kids a few years ago and loved it. They had so many activities prior to the buffet it was more like a hawaiian fair, so I had to go back and enjoy it solo this time. The scenery is breathtaking. The food is awesome! The staff is so very friendly and helpful, and the show is amazing!!!

Great Drinks!
Reviewed by: NC Hairston, 2014/06/26Worth paying extra for the VIP Seating, pictures were included at no extra charge and we were treated well. The drinks were excellent and my wife learned that she liked Lava Flows. We enjoyed this Luau and the activities were interesting. The drink/merchandise cards was a good way to handle the drinks, much better than trying to carry cash with you.

Reviewed by: Aloha Joe, 2014/04/05During our week on Oahu, we always attend a lu'au and our favorite is Paradise Cove! This was an annual gathering of Aloha Joe's Radio & TV listeners who join us from all over the planet. We all agree that the food & entertainment at Paradise Cove is THE BEST.

Paradise Cove is a must
Reviewed by: Petals4Zuzu, 2014/03/19The meal was fine but the entertainment and the "carnival" atmosphere was the best. We have girls 12-20 years of age and each thoroughly enjoyed the vendors, the activities, the interactive things to do before the dinner and show. The meal starts at 7:00 PM but people must show up early (around 4:45 the gates open) to enjoy the cultural activities prior. First rate and all included in the price. My daughters all appreciated the good-looking performers, especially the "Fire King".

Beautiful, Breathtaking. Buffet!!!
Reviewed by: OhMyHiroshi, 2013/09/02My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here at Paradise Cove's Luau. As soon as we checked in, we received free maitais! Then as we made our way through the entrance path, we got greeted with lei's by our "Hawaiian Cousins". We then made our way to the bar and started drinking, as we were watching the practices of the "imu ceremony" of the pork, catching of the flowers, and the old way of how the Hawaiians used to catch fish. We then got seated at our tables and were dismissed to go get our food! I had three plates of the finest Hawaiian dishes, and my girlfriend only had one. While we had dinner, the sunset was beautiful at the peak of the ocean. It was simply amazing that we could eat at the beach and have the sunset right at your tables. Finally to conclude the evening right before the show, they dimmed the stage lights and i looked up and saw a dark night with 3 dozen stars. It all looks like a movie but it's pure reality here in Hawaii. My girlfriend and I had a romantic time.

Good Show, Decent Food
Reviewed by: J Johnson, 2013/06/10Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

Fabulous!
Reviewed by: MinnesotaMike, 2010/04/23I asked my kids which activity was their favorite and they agreed that, other than surfing, this was it. The bus trip to the cove was hysterical, our guide was so wonderfully engaging and entertaining. I never thought that listening to people singing Old Macdonalds Farm could be so funny. The activities were great and the sun setting into the cove at the perfect time was idyllic. A great day.

Great time!
Reviewed by: Lisa, 2009/08/19We both had a great time. It was exactly as described. We did the standard luau and were very pleased. The seating is pretty good from every angle and the lines to the buffet only took about 5 minutes. Would not recommend the upgrade. Not worth the extra expense.

Totally Worth It!
Reviewed by: Melissa S, 2009/02/07What a great time! We went with a group of 6 for my birthday and had an amazing time. We splurged for the delux, front row seating, and were placed right next to the stage, with lei greeting, drink tickets, great table service and perfect views.
We took part in the huki lau, the games, the imu ceremony, got our pictures taken with the royalty, my husband even got me on stage to hula! The food was amazing and the show was really great.
This was the 2nd visit for my husband and I, the first for our friends and everyone agreed it was totally worth it, a great time, and we will certainly come back again and again!

Wonderful Experience
Reviewed by: LeBlanc, 2008/07/18I would recommend that anyone at any age range see a luau while visiting Hawaii. Paradise Cove was awesome. The entertainment was magnificant, the staff was very nice, my waiter was shy and asked for his picture not to be posted on the internet :) They feed you a lot of food. VIP is the way to gp because you stay seated, your food is served to you and for a hot afternoon you are under a cover with fans. You have a wonderful sunset view. Just GOOD LUCK if it rains!!
