My boyfriend and I went parasailing to celebrate our anniversary, and it was awesome! The crew was polite, interactive, and entertaining, but at the same time safe and professional. The boat ride and the parasailing itself was lots of fun! I thought that it would be scary, but it was really easy and exciting and I wasnt that afraid at all. It was also romantic to parasail with my boyfriend, so this is a great activity for couples! (But friends and family as well.) I would suggest this activity to everyone, and would gladly do it again =]

If you can only make it to one luau while vacationing, make it this one! You won't regret it!

Cousin Henry (our driver and guide) was fantastic! He made the trip. Very informative, and spoke from experience. Food was good, not amazing, but plentiful. Evening show took awhile to get interesting, but then look out! Fire show was incredible. Don't miss the demonstrations before the luau!! We thought the cost was a little pricy, but the experience was just wonderful.

I had returned after twenty five years and the Center was as good as ever! My traveling companion was visiting for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the day, luau and show. A great day recommended for all visitors to the island of Oahu.

I was told this was the most authentic luau on Oahu. The actually dinner was a bit crowded and the stage show was too loud and pretty boring. The buffet offered a variety of dishes but I had to eat from the kids side because that menu only offered the vegetarian option that actually had nutritional value.
When booking this trip it would have been nice to know up front that the cultural center was run by mormons so therefore there was no alcohol or caffeine available. The night show was worth seeing...very well done...just as good as a play in NYC.
Our driver picked us up 15 minutes late then proceeded to wait another 20 for 2 people who were on the list and were not there yet. Because of this we were unable to get the tour of the center that we paid for and they would not issue us tickets to come again some other day. If I could do it all over again I would go the full day, pack food and see the evening show. Probably rent a car and take a break down the street on the beach.

Would suggest upgrading to mid level. Worth the service you get. The entertainment is exceptional. My eleven year old granddaughter enjoyed it as much as her Mom and Grandmother.
Participate in the activities, loads of fun.

The Paradise Cove Luau was a very fun experience and it is great for families since they have activities you can participate in. The food was very delicious, I however would not recommend paying the extra for the Deluxe package with table service and 6 standard drink coupons. Table service was very slow, people who did the buffett had food way before we did AND there were other things on the buffett that table service guests did not receive.

My husband and I had a gret time at the Polynesian Cultural center. The tour bus guide "Kemo" or Cousin K was very knowledgeble about the cultures, and land legends of Oahu. The tour bus ride was 1 hour 15 minutes from Waikiki, but it went by very quickly. He taught us how to speak Hawaiin properly, a few legends from the Windward side, as well as the local spots. Once in the center, we got to see all but 2 islands (very hard to do as the center is huge) and we went to many shows, the canoe ride, the lua, and the night show. It was a very long and hot day that ended in a huge rain shower, but it was so worth it and we do not regret spening the whole day there. Very educational!!

My wife and I celebrated our Honeymoon in Oahu, and choose to goto the Cultural Center for the day, including the luau and the show.
It was an amazing experience!
Each village was unique and the people were so friendly!
My only suggestion is to sell caffinated coffee and soda at the Center...since many people are there all day they will need a pick me up.
The worst part of the entire day was our bus driver to and from the Center...Loretta. She was boring, rude, and forgot we were on the bus.

I was nervous about using this service, but things worked out great. We purchased the Deluxe Package which included 6 free alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, front row seating and tableside meal service. We were greeted with a fresh flower lei (women) and kukui nut lei (men), a mai tai drink and photos with dancers. It was everything they promised. It was on a pristine, beautiful private beach with numerous hands on activities. It was absolutely wonderful!

Exceeded our expectations. Never a dull moment from twelve noon to the end of the show. Be sure you get a guide. The guest-participation activities were a particular treat -- spear-throwing, poi ball twirling, drums, it was all great fun. And the evening show was truly spectacular. This was well worth the money and well worth the trip to the North side of the island.

First of all, I highly recommend the v.i.p box. I was kind of expecting an individual booth, but it’s actually an area under a shed seating about 30-40 people (8 people a table). Even though you’re sitting with other people, v.i.p beats getting up to stand in line for food. There would be a staff member serving you, also most important is the weather. A staff member I talked to mentioned that if it happens to rain, the only people that would be covered are people in v.i.p. If it does rain, there would be security guards blocking the v.i.p booth, if anyone with a standard seat tries to enter.
The activities are delightful, the gift shops are great, and I must have spent about 100-130 dollars just on souvenirs. The picture taken of us is beautiful. Going as a couple, 6 drink coupons each were plenty. When you enter you will receive a complimentary drink, so we actually had extra coupons by the end of the. The staffs are nice, helpful, and funny. It was a great luau………..

We went to the luau on Sunday 2/17 and had a wonderful time. We had a rental car so we didn't use the bus shuttle but it is a quick 45 minutes up H1 from Waikiki. We had our sons 19 and 15 and both enjoyed the activities before dinner and the show. Great music, great food...HUGE portions (we purchased the more expensive table service with front row seating which I would highly recommend as the wait staff and cocktail servers are fun and attentive), and a great luau show. When you go to the bar look for the bartender named Lizzie. She makes a superb upscale mai tai. We were seated so close during the show we could feel the heat from the flaming sword performer who was a show stopper...he is amazing. I would recommend and would go again.

I 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!!

We had a great time on the boat, with the crue (they made us feel so comfortable and were on top of the situation - it was our first experience parasailing) and especially in the air.
We were flying above the Pacific Ocean :) This is one of the best things you could experience in your life.
