Hilton Waikiki Starlight Luau with Fire Dancers, Hula Show & Dinner Buffet

Good food and show

Reviewed by: manxlad

All in all, was a good experience. The entertainment was excellent. Much less people than at the Polynesian Cultural Center lu'au which was very nice. The only problem was the server who was extremely rude and sarcastic and made a part of the night very unpleasant.

We just went for the late arrival and only got to visit a couple of the islands before dinner and the "HA" show. We would have enjoyed the whole day.

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Paradise Cove Luau was the best...unique setting...and very well managed. The food and entertainment you can't beat...the Paradise Cove dancers were really really good and serving staff were amazing as well...very well taken care of. I have heard some good reports of other Luaus as well....but I bet this one is the best !!! Highly recommended....and....free parking !!!!

Great Luau

Reviewed by: Iain F.

Enele was a great driver and full of knowledge. He also became our tour guide once we arrived at the cultural center. He took us around and explained the different cultures and his own culture (Samoa) in great detail. The food at the luau was great with the Kalua pork and Lomi Lomi being my favorite. Poi was actually not bad after all the bad things I heard about it. The entertainment during dinner was great. We even got on stage for a little dance. The show was incredible, portraying the AH of life. The fire dancers were awesome. Overall was a great experience and would recommend to everyone.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

mediocre...

Reviewed by: Lyn Ann

A bit overrated and touristy, im a vegetarian who does eat seafood but there were no vegetarian options so veggies beware as you;ll be stuck only eating salad, activities sound a lot more interesting on paper then in person, consists of a 2 second canoe ride in a circle near the shore, throwing a stick at a bale of hay, someone making you a flower bracelet, and throwing a wooden thing and a stone against a board, the actual luau dance was pretty good and the fire dance was amazing, dinner should be served sooner and the real entertainment should start earlier, the bus took forever to get there and your free mai tai just tastes like juice and no alcohol. drinks were way overpriced but is nice that your ticket includes 3 free drinks but our quite small and they loor people into buying bigger ones for 3 dollars each so they make the money back. all in all it was good to experience it for my first time but it was very unauthentic and cheesy to us.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Lovely Luau

Reviewed by: Russ & Barb

We reviewed this Luau on the internet prior to our arrival and felt that this was the one and we were sincerely not disappointed. In fact, this was our second Luan during our stay and I assure you that this one is and was the best.

Not only was our Luau experience the best the drive to and from the event on bus #5 was fantastic. The driver was U and the guide/orator was Pompani (I think). You should have at least ten (10) Pompani’s since he made the experience a time to remember.

He was courteous, experienced, and a real performer. He was able to make the trip to and from one to remember. In addition the Luau, performance, food, and location were fantastic. We would sincerely recommend this to anyone that we will interface with if they want places to go on their Hawaiian vacation.

Please let Pompani know that he made the evening one to remember and do whatever it takes to keep him on your staff.

Fun but felt rushed.

Reviewed by: UtahMommy

This luau was really fun and I am glad we chose it over the PCC so we could have the real mai tai's! Our guide (cousin Kahale) was a hoot! He made the trip so enjoyable and deserves a raise. We got stuck in traffic so it took forecer to get there and then we were rushed to try and do the activities which were just hum drum to begin with. But the absolutely stunning scenery on the beach where it is located is to die for and made up for the lack of interest in activities. I enjoyed the food and the show very much and would defiantely go back and take the whole family.

Hilton Waikiki Starlight Luau with Fire Dancers, Hula Show & Dinner Buffet

A REALLY FUN EXPERIENCE!

Reviewed by: Laura W.

I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

Hilton Waikiki Starlight Luau with Fire Dancers, Hula Show & Dinner Buffet

Luau in the middle of Waikiki

Reviewed by: Ms Rosie

This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!

Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.

Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

What you'd want in a Luau!

Reviewed by: Catherine

I loved the Paradise Cove Luau! It's location is beautiful! A sunset party on a private beach is a great way to start off your Hawaiian vacation! I went to the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center years ago, and the festivities were very nice, but there were no cocktails, and no beach. At Paradise Cove, it really felt like a party. I even got a Hula certificate for coming on stage to learn! We booked the Orchid (middle) level, and it seemed just right. I love the orchid leis that we received. If there was one thing I would like to change, it was that even though 3 drinks were "included" in my package, almost every drink still cost $1-$6 extra. I expected only to pay gratuity out-of-pocket when I got there. Overall, though, I had a great time!

Each time I come, I bring new visitors to the Islands and they always enjoy the Luau activities/show.

I remember additional games and venders and missed them both this late trip.

I will continue to visit and recommend you to others s a must do when in Oahu.

This was the first time parasailing for me and my brother and it won't be our last. It was awesome. Captain Aaron and Hector were so cool and they made the boat ride out a lot of fun.

Reviewed by: SoCalMom

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif

Don't get me wrong, we had a wonderful time at PCC however our guide kept leaving us behind, she moved so quickly thru the crowds that my husband had a hard time keeping up, pushing me in a wheelchair. She would just go on without us. We did not get to experience everything we paid for, the food was medicore, our guide could have cared less but the parade of floats was amazing and the HA breath of life show was an experience of a lifetime.

A Must See

Reviewed by: Gary

I have booked the “Polynesian Cultural Center – Full Day Ambassador Package” with Hawaii Activities many times. I have always found their voucher instructions to be concise and accurate. I particularly appreciate the fact that Hawaii Activities will leave a e-mail or hotel voicemail message for you reminding you of your upcoming activity and any necessary updated information.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a MUST SEE when visiting the Islands! It is an amazing full day of learning the culture of the people who established the Islands. Each Village that you will visit will provide you with a description of their creation and demonstrate their unique culture through dance, song, and demonstrations. The interesting thing about this day is that nearly every individual who is working at the Center is a full-time student at BYU of Hawaii which is located next door. The money raised from the admission fee to the Center funds the scholarship program of the University which su
