Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Overall Rating
4.65
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".

LOVE!
Reviewed by: Amanda, 2014/02/04First time to go to this Luau with my husband and friends. Had a lot of great activities, not too crowded. It was definitely worth paying for the gold vip box seats so we didn't have to wait in the buffet line or sit at a table with 20 other people. The food was decent and the entertainment was excellent. Really enjoyed the show and everything about the luau experience. Would definitely do it again1

Luau
Reviewed by: salejo, 2013/09/03There were so many activities. We were able to try most of it - canoes, tattoo, made a bracelet/headband, & we even took pictures with the parrots (extra cost for prints). Alcoholic drinks & the food were good. The white haupia dessert is my favorite, but don't eat more than 3 because it is a laxative. Our favorite part of the luau was of course the fire dance, which was really the only dance I paid most attention to. 5 stars because our bus guide Cousin Rich made this that much more fun for us. Going to Paradise Cove & back was never a sleepy ride & was never boring.

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.

Best Luau!
Reviewed by: Allie Frey, 2013/06/28I went to Paradise Cove as part of a group of 4 18 year old girls. This luau was a definite highlight of our trip! All of the activities were interesting, and the lines for tattoos, leis, etc. all went pretty quickly! Above that, the food was awesome! If you are looking for a great luau, go to Paradise Cove!

Luau
Reviewed by: Angelia Turberville , 2013/05/24Absolutely loved it. Thou our bus was 30 minutes late, had to call to find out where they were. Once again was ask for a gratuity. Asi stated on previous reviews I found this offensive I am not tipped for doing my job. Gratuity is for servers/waitresses who make like $2.00.

Not to miss
Reviewed by: Dee, 2013/03/02This is the best Luau and a must see!
From the beginning of the bus ride out of Waikiki to the final drop off this was a treat. Everyone going to Hawaii should see this at least once.
Cousin Mo was so funny and informative on the bus that it really made it fun. There are great activities at the Luau and you really experience the hospitality and sprit of Aloha.
This was my second time to Paradise cove and it did not dissapoint. I took my brother and he loved it.
We bought the front row tickets and had great seats....just don't expect your ticket price to deliver a top notch dinner. The food is good and the pork exceptional but not what I would spend $120 on. All the other inculsions make it really worth it.
I would go back again and again

Unbelievable experience
Reviewed by: dream vacationer, 2013/02/07A luau has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I had such high expectations that I was expecting to be let down. I can honestly say that all of my expectations were met and then some.
This was the highlight of our vacation. If you have the opportunity to attend the Paradise Cove Luau, please don't miss it!

The Second Time
Reviewed by: Russ Matthews, 2012/10/14This was the second time that we had attended this event. The first time was in 2010 right after we got married on the beach.
This time, we brought another couple as told them just how great of an event that it would be and you would be sorry if you did not attend.
After the Luau, they both agreed that it was worth the time and money. The shops are great, the events are wonderful, the food is superb, and the show is fantastic.
I would recommend this Luau to whomever I see and/or states that they are going to Hawaii.
Last but surely not least, the lady (Bev) that was assigned to us for the evening was just the cherry on top of the Sunday. She needs to be praised for her wit, professionalism, her personality, and maybe even her dance (I would give her a 8.5).
May you continue to provide the, "Best Luau on the Island!"
Once again, "We will be back" and thank you.

LOVED IT!
Reviewed by: Rebecca Fletcher, 2012/10/05I was a little anxious about picking out a luau because of how long they all are. However, the Paradise Cove luau has lots of activities so you don't have to worry about getting bored.We got the basic package with no frills and there was plenty to enjoy. The drinks were great, the buffet was just wonderful, the dancers were amazing--it was my favorite event of our trip! I even got on the stage for the hula dance lesson!

Happy Birthday to Me!
Reviewed by: Vilma Garibaldi, 2012/09/21The Luau is so much fun, they have some games, and you can ride a canoe, take pictures with some beautiful birds, and there are jewerly that you can buy. I love this purple earrings that I bought! The food is good, but the drinks are water down. I would defintely go again. Hey when your in Hawaii you gots to go to a Laua. Also our activity guy was cuzin Mo, and if you get him, he is sooo funny! He made our ride to the Luau(about 30mins or so)not boring at all. He was singing and making jokes and everything. So if you get him, your very LUCY!
