Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Paradise Cove Luau
I have been to Luau's before (on Maui and on Oahu) and was disappointed with this one. It was so "commercial" and lacking in the real feel of island music and culture. I suppose it was way bigger than any other I had been to so the sheer numbers make it a logistical problem.
I like to see something more genuine than that.
I had been to the Polynesian Cultural Centre and consider that they covered what I was looking for in a much more genuine mannner. That sort of concert material combined with a "real" cooking of food in the earth would have been better. There was not even any steam as the food was taken out of the "earth oven" - an anticlimax.
Our bus tour driver was dreadful but the staff at the actual site were brilliant. Overall though a disappointment.

Pearl harbour and Circle Island Tou
This tour is a great introduction to Oahu and Hawaii. It gives a background history and setting to the place where we were holidaying. Our tour leader Tavita was exceptional, very informative and extremely entertaining with his commentary and songs. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to know a bit more about the place in which they are staying. The day may be a bit long for families with young children.
Added bonus for us was the USS Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier coming into port as we were out on the Arizona. It was immense!!!
