Honestly, I hardly remember the actual luau. My boyfriend somehow managed to get me on stage and proposed to me in front of hundreds of people. The whole staff was in on it. I was called up as the winner of a raffle drawing! And when I thought they were bringing out my prize, out comes my boyfriend with a microphone! The whole crowd was very involved, from telling him to "Get on your knee!" to begging me to "Say yes!" They laughed, they awwed, they cheered. It was amazing. Unfortunately, I spent the rest of the show making phone calls telling everyone in my life the news. I will definitely be returned to the Paradise Cove Luau so that I can actually enjoy the full show!

my daughters, both in mid 20's, enjoyed the parasailing, said AMAZING!
my experience was a little unnerving, as I knew what not todo, but wasn't sure what TO DO, couldn't relax for fear of doing wrong thing....More specifics on how one can lean, turn or shift weight, hand position on straps...would be helpful, but perhaps I'll venture To try again.....

Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici

My husband and I are from Vancouver, BC Canada. We came to Honolulu, Hawaii for our honeymoon. We decided to do something adventurous as newly weds so we decided to do parasailing! It was also our first time! I did a lot of research on the different parsailing companies and found that Oahu Parasailing did not have any accidents at all. They also had very good reviews so I booked with them through Hawaii Activities. We went with the 8:00am departure & 600ft parasail. On the day of, The driver picked us up at the front of our hotel which was in Waikiki. He was very friendly and knowledgable. While he drived us around the city he told us where to go, where to eat, where the best and cheap things were. He gave us great advice! After we were dropped off, we went into the boat with a group of Japanese tourists. The captian and his assistant were very nice. I told them that we were on our honeymoon and they were really nice to us. As we sailed off, my husband was a little sea sick, that was h

The driver who picked us up was entertaining and made the drive enjoyable. The boat crew was good and provided helpful information and made the parasailing a better experience than expected. I definately recommending to everyone to try parasailing at least once while in Hawaii.

Fantastic food... and when you're booking a luau - that's I guess - what you REALLY look for. You're guaranteed to feel full and satisfied, probably the best food I've had at a luau.
The pre-entertainment is fun - something for everyone to try and watching them carry the pig out of the ground as the sun sets is pretty magical! What an amazing venue - the sunset is spectacular there and the staff are all fun (and gorgeous!!!!)

Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.
We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!

What an evening.
This was just fantastic from start to finish.
Our guide was informitive and very funny.
The luau was great. Entertainment out of this world. I can't speak highly enough about this activity.
Lovely to see the sun set. Paradise.
There was four of us, my husband, myself and two grand-daughters aged eight and eleven.
We didn't pay extra for the seating and I am glad we didn't as the view was super were ever you sat.
I would highly recommend this to every-one.

I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!
In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.
One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m

I was so glad i did it!! I was a bit nervous at first, only chose 600ft line. It was an amazing view, amazing weather, and felt very safe! My dad can't swim - doesn't usually get into the water and afraid of heights, but he himself loved it!! If we were in Hawaii another day, I would have done it again but upgraded to the full 1000ft! I also liked the fact that this company is very safe! They cancelled my first reservation due to high winds & I'm glad they did because the second reservation I made, the weather was PERFECT!! Beautiful skies, water was amazing, and we got to see whales! Loved every moment of it!! Felt so free!!

Great value for a great price. The only negative is that you definitely need more than ~1 hour to get an adequate feeling of the entire Center. This is a great package if you're just looking for a luau (buffet style with entertainment) and an excellent evening show. Will definitely go back for an entire day trip!

This was my third luau at Paradise Cove; it was a impressive as the first time I attended. The experience was well-organized and enjoyable; starting and ending with the shuttle ride to and fro. This was the first time with kids, what a memorable family experience, not just a couple’s thing. The food, sites, sounds, entertainment and staff provide a cultural experience that is unique and authentic; not to mention the picturesque views from the cove - fabulous. If you are contemplating a luau while on the island, this is the one you want to attend. Good times!!

My date and I did the VIP Dinner, we had our own private stage side table, delicious drinks and a fancy gourmet dinner (why not splurge a little since your in Hawaii). The theater is real nice and quite impressive, I would recommend bringing a sweater or a jacket because it does get cold.
Where else can you see the Young Skinny Elvis, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Old Chubby Elvis and Hula Dancers all in one place!! It was a good fun show, I would highly recommend to all my friends back on the Eastcoast!

I saved this luau for my last night in Hawaii and I booked the deluxe package and highly recommend it to anyone who can afford to spend the $150. It was definitely an awesome deal!
Tusi was our party guide. Awesome gorgeous guy that cracked jokes all night long.
Arriving at Paradise Cove we were immediately greeted with drinks (if you're 21+) and leis. If you are 21+ you'll need to bring your ID. Included in the deluxe package is a complimentary photo with some of the luau dancers (otherwise you pay $15). All the dancers are very attractive so you'll want this ;)
We arrived around 5pm and the actual dinner doesn't start until 7pm. You can snack before hand, but the dinner is SO good and filling that you might not have room for the whole meal if you eat before hand.
From 5-7pm they have all types of complimentary activities including temporary hawaiian tattoos, flower bracelet/headband crafts, canoe rides, shower of flower event, hula lessons, etc...

We participated for Green room and got front row seats.
The “stars” came off the stage and sang to me and shook my hand.
“Elvis” comes so close that you can lightly smell his perfume.
When they first come to the stage, you may think they are kind of chubby, but once they start to sing and dance, you will be amazed. It’s unbelievable that they are not lip singing.
The stage equipment and audio system is great. During the performance, there is a video on the screen that shows the real star singing. The “star” on stage and the star on the screen come in sync and you start to believe that the “star” on the stage is real.
Even though you don’t know the star, they will sing many popular songs old or new, so any generation can enjoy the performance.
After the show the stars will be at the lobby, and they will give you autograph and take a picture with you.
In my mind I believe that “Michael Jackson” was real to me so I got excited and screamed.
