First time in Hawaii. So...
CAllen_R, May 2023
First time in Hawaii. So glad we booked with Paradise Cove. The entire show and food is spectacular! Only thing we were staying Hilton Waikiki and we left hotel at 4 to arrive at 5 and did not arrive till 6. Wish we would have know more about traffic so if your visiting take their transportation(worth the extra money)
Mediocre luau
Richard_B, May 2023
The show was really good but the food was mediocre at best. Vegetables were cold and the pork was dry. The fish wasn’t fried all the way. The chicken was really good but overall the food wasn’t what we expected it to be. For the price we expected more. We did get the tattoos and they were really beautiful.
Folklore dancing food and entratainment
Tania_M, May 2023
This complete service transportation, photo, show with different Polynesian places and the pre show activities kept all family entratainted Food was a lot, in our case we chose delux and that helped to not be in the buffet crowd Excellent experience thanks all specially to “sexy” the guide that took us there and took us back to our hotels he entertained and relaxed all family

gdhome, May 2023
We had an Enjoyable night food was excellent and the entertainment was great Thought the ticket included bus ride to venue did not see option to add and subsequently was told when lining up that we were not on list .As a group of ten we were left to catch taxis at last minute really disappointed that I missed the option staff member on bus said this happens regularly so ask that Viator change this to include bus in price as was the case when we did the same luau 10 years ago which is why I missed the option
Best experience
KayCee_W, May 2023
The interaction with the audience was great! I loved all of the things to do before dinner and show.
Oahu must!!!
Sharon_L, May 2023
It was a beautiful experience! Highly recommend. I never ever write reviews, but this was exceptional. From activities, to food, to dinner show and the fire show was phenomenal.

Cynthia_F, May 2023

Paradise Cove loau
MaryJane_C, May 2023
The food was terrible.! I got diarrhea from eating your food. I expected to have eaten a roasted pig as the main coarse and not chicken. My own baked chicken is better than yours. Further, even the market place to shop souvenirs did not have many to choose from. The ground where the show happens is not impressive to me. I would like a refund on this excursion. Thank you. Mary Chapa
Response from Host, May 2023
Aloha - there should have been Kalua pork and fish as well as the chicken on the buffet line. If there wasn't, please contact us at guestrelations@paradisecovehawaii.com with the date you attended. Malama pono
Long
Sabrina_H, May 2023
Long evening. 4:30 until 9. Drinks were ok. Food was less than average. I hardly ate. Had white rice, most of the chicken is chicken thighs since they are cheaper. Desserts were coconut gelatin (gross looking), choc cake, sweet potato slices. The show was interesting and consisted of a preshow and then the real show after dinner. Wish they would have announces sunset to get pics. Opportunity to pay 45 for parrot pic and other upgrades. Lines for tatoos were long bit looked cool, not sure of the price of that.
Response from Host, May 2023
Mahalo for visiting us! Fyi - the tattoos are free. Malama pono!
Wonderful experience with cousin T, I want to go back every night
Gabriela_F, May 2023
My boyfriend and I came from Florida to Hawaii to celebrate our graduation and we went to paradise cove on our last night of our vacation. It was such a wonderful experience, the food was really good, the site was beautiful and the entertainment was top tier. Everything that worked there had great customer service skills, they made us feel welcome and as if we were part of a family. Cousin T was the bestttt! Everything was so organized!

Unable to attend/ No refunds
LaTanya_B, May 2023
I purchased the Paradise Cove Luau for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, my husband became ill and we weren't able to attend the Luau. I called viator to be informed they were unable to get a refund from the company. We lost $450 dollars for a luau we never experienced.
Response from Host, May 2023
Oh no! I hope your husband has fully recovered! Malama pono

Aloha, I really enjoyed this Paradise Cove Luau, everything was amazing from beginning to end. The fire show is what stood out the most to me, I was nervous and excited at the same time for the performer. Mahalo!
Amazing experience!
Hector_V, May 2023
We are a gay couple, and I have never felt included at any other party as I did here. I had an amazing experience being myself. Everyone was friendly! Great entertainers, delicious drinks and food! I would do it again! :-)
Perfect night!
Beth_S, May 2023
This place was magical! Started off with a bus ride from hotel with the best guide, Hala. She really set the tone and we knew it was going to be a great experience. Enjoyed the cultural activities, history, and the dancing before dinner. Also great picture spots with the ocean in the background and the sun setting over the water. Dinner was buffet style and food was plentiful-favorite on the menu was the delicious pulled pork. In addition to the complimentary mai tai on arrival we were given a card for a credit for additional beverages and after that we paid for drinks but prices were very reasonable at the bar. The show during and after dinner was amazing-the dancers, fire Chief and hostess were all incredible performers. Even the bus ride back was fun with our driver Ben playing songs for us on his ukelele before we left and with Hala’s playlist of songs we all knew and sang to the whole way! The Polynesian culture is beautiful and welcoming and this adventure really highlighted that!
Tropical Paradise Event
Thomas_H, May 2023
There is more to do at Paradise Cove than watch a show and eat. They have several activities for all ages. They also have a marketplace to shop and buy souvenirs, as well as private vendors. It is fun for the whole family.

Kate_M, May 2023
No canoe/boat ride no fishnet throwing as stated. Over priced. Staff didn't direct where to sit. No poi. Didn't demonstrate traditional cooking of the pork.

My luau
Deborah_B, May 2023
It was a great experience. We love. The food was delicious and way too much. I only wish the tattoos had been done in Henna so they would have lasted longer than just the night. Excellent service. You guys do a great job from start to finish

Our experience was absolutely amazing! We wouldn't have changed one thing! We had the best bus tour guide, Cousin T!! The food was delicious, adult drinks were perfect, activity booths were awesome, music and shows were great, but most of all the staff were absolutely the best!! We couldn't have had a better first experience. MAHALO!
