Awesome experience! Didn’t disappoint!
Candace_C, Apr 2024
This luau was a wonderful experience! The entertainment was good. There was so much to do. The food was amazing! The kalua pig 🤤. They gave us a free small Mai tai upon entering which was so good that I had to buy another one. It was just as good but had more alcohol. They even gave us a card which had money on it which covered some of the price of the photo I purchased. I highly recommend this experience. Make sure you participate in the games, lei making, etc. Good food, good drinks, good vibes…worth your coins.
A must-see experience in Hawai’i !
Angela_O, Apr 2024
Paradise Cove Luau is an incredible experience that showcases the island culture and way of life through interpretative dance. Every bit of it immerses one to how rich Hawai’i culture is. Highly recommend it! Mahalo🤙🏼🏝️🤍

KARLBRYAN_G, Apr 2024
the climax of this tour is at the end of the it. where they perform dances and history of it.. other than that the rest is just ok.. food is ok.. love the salad.. desserts is ok... i paid the standard price of 150 and i think i made my money worth compare if i get the deluxe.
Luau experience
Xiomara_P, Apr 2024
I had a great time and enjoyed watching the dancers. It was raining so I’d recommend to bring and umbrella but other than that it’s was a wonderful experience
Paradise Cove Standard Experience
Robyn_F, Apr 2024
Once again, I have a problem with advertisement via third-party promotion. It wasn’t until I arrived at the luau before learning of the other packages; being Orchid and Deluxe. I was not given the option upon booking. These distinguished packages held favor. It allowed visitors a different adornment, they were served while others waited in the buffet line, reserved front row seating, etc. Had I known in advance and still purchased “standard” I wouldn’t have had an issue. Needless to say, the luau was a rewarding experience. Long and exhausting due to rain, but the performances made up for any discomfort and/or inconvenience.
Great show, food average.
Mary_M, Apr 2024
Great show experience, artists very talented, but I was not impressed with the food options, for the price asked the food had no flavor, except the vegetable options were okay.
Great Luau!
Martha_V, Apr 2024
I loved the singing, dancing and the fire that the men juggled. I'm so glad I was able to attend. It rained a bit but they provided ponchos for everyone which I thought was a really nice touch
Good Fun
John_P, Apr 2024
An enjoyable evening made even more special by the Hostess (Nui???). Her ability to remember names was astounding. Her smile was infectious. Her singing was lovely. Her charm outstanding
