No need to come early - the fun starts just before dinner when the pig ceremony commences and the dancers start. Great show, great views!!
Megan MastersJanuary 9, 2016
Great show during dinner. We went too early though and the first hour or two was a bit uneventful. The pig ceremony to start dinner had incredible views!
Mandy DixonJanuary 14, 2013
This luau was incredible! Neat activities, good food, and an amazing show complete with a fire dance! You will not be disappointed! Takes place right on the beach!

Great time, good show, fun activities, decent good, fabulous views and scenery, but Cousin Rich was the best, had the best bus ride of my life, Cousin Chris kept it fun.

My family and I all had a great time here. The overall experience was enjoyable, the staff was super welcoming and friendly, and the food was great. Don't forget to try a lava flow!

Great time! Upgrade to Orchid Buffet and get the Waikiki Shuttle! Lots to do before the show, good food, good show, lots of fun!

This was one of my favorite experiences in the island. Best personal hands in experience. Worth every penny!! Try the lava flow. Yummy!!!

You have to do a luau while in Hawaii and this is one of the better options. Entertainment was great, food was average. Plus we learned a Hawaii saying: "if your in love dance, if not keep drinking."

Great staff + experience overall, esp after having read many neg. reviews. Yes, its "touristy." But, how "un-touristy" can a luau catered to tourists be? Don't think u have to do the deluxe.

During WWII, the area adjacent to Paradise Cove was used as a recreation center by Army and Navy servicemen. The pool is separated from the ocean by natural walls of reef over which the waves flow to

Spectacular sunset and beautiful shows. Make sure you wait until the main show starts. Food was OK.
Gabriela PhillipsAugust 7, 2018
Amazing show and delicious food! Our bus guide was awesome and we had so much fun.
Kevin HamanoAugust 8, 2013
Lots of things to do while you wait for the program to start, then it's stop one, stop two, stop three, dinner. Dinner was okay. If there's something like Hometown on O'ahu, I would liken it to that.

Extremely frustrated with the first come first serve seating since we were the third family in the park and somehow the majority of the tables in our allotted sequin were already reserved-disappointed
LeighJuly 11, 2010
Lava flows are delish, food is okay but you are really there for the entertainment so just enjoy that and all the free activities. All the employees are super nice and make you feel welcome.
Meli DNovember 18, 2013
Wonderful experience for a luau. Everyone was really nice and I guess it was a slow night because there were no lines!
Alley McBealSeptember 3, 2010
If you befriend some of the wait staff they will bring drinks to your table just before and during dinner, that way you don't have to wait in the long lines. Just don't forget to tip well! Mahalo!
Gina ColemanSeptember 4, 2012
I've been to several luaus over the years and this was my best experience so far. Cozy and friendly!
Roger CartwrightDecember 12, 2014
Beautiful. Picturesque. Can't beat it. Great food. Great service. Great entertainment!
Sean RobisonNovember 26, 2015
Fun luau. Good sampling of Polynesian cultures and cuisines.
Lauren HarrisMay 18, 2014
Awesome place to come with friends and family. Captures the Hawaiian spirit well.
Allison KaminskiJanuary 3, 2015
Great luau!! Sunset was spectacular
BreannSeptember 13, 2011
Its good for having it next to our hotel. Polynesian cultural center is better though. reserve early to get first pick on seats for deluxe package.
Becky RossiterMay 5, 2014
Wonderful show, excellent dinner, fantastic customer service

Been here 5+ times
I used to Bartend here! You should try the Banana Mac!! Special Mai Tai's are crazy good! Let the party begin!! ;)
Michael EpleyMay 5, 2013
Seriously messed up... Crazy lines for everything. The simple act of getting a drink, the luau staple, meant waiting 30 minutes. They are woefully unprepared for the size of the crowds they let in.
Amy KFebruary 10, 2015
A pricier luau but worth it!
Edward ApostolMay 3, 2012
It's worth it to pay a little more money for first dibs on the buffet , extra drinks and better seating.
Jason CowardMarch 24, 2013
Awesome experience. But does anyone know there recipe for the tropical itch drink?
Jeanne CliftDecember 1, 2014
Everything it was amazing
Robert Simcoke 🔫February 10, 2012
At the pearl coral hut is a bunch of great jewelry at a reasonable price
Cuppy CakeSeptember 30, 2010
You should have the Deluxe everything is included pictures, drinks, souvenir, nice seats.

I used to work here. Lava flows is okay but ask for the Banana Mac. I was a bartender here so I should know!!
Janice YoonMarch 20, 2013
Make a reaervation on advance. No need to buy expensive package.
Guy CashOctober 6, 2014
Greatest luau spot ever
Sean InsigneMay 2, 2013
The spirit of Hawaii
Tandy AlconcelMarch 23, 2014
Great entertainment!
Ron JeramiahSeptember 26, 2015
Commercialized tourist trap. 2 good parts...fire guy and hula dancers. Other than that, 80 bucks better spent else where.
Roy DeyoJuly 8, 2011
Get the tropical itch. Well worth the scratch.
KevinMay 7, 2012
Don't expect to enjoy entertainment if you want to have adult beverages.
Missy BApril 12, 2012
Fried chicken and pulled pork. That's all you need from this place. Otherwise, this place is a tourist trap
J 🏁February 20, 2012
The best Luau on the Island
Trevor EadeNovember 27, 2011
Nickel and dime you like crazy - beware - show is good though
Jun DJuly 24, 2011
Beautiful sunset! Very nice ambiance!
Stephen BradleyAugust 14, 2011
The drink lines take up to much of your time!
David JahnFebruary 21, 2014
Drinks are really expensive. Otherwise everything else was good.
Chris GAugust 5, 2011
Great show! Food ok. Not much available if you are a vegetarian.
Cyndi PMarch 8, 2012
Don't get here before 6:30pm. Not that much to do before the show
Matt ChellewJanuary 15, 2018
Expect a good show with a mediocre dinner.
John HamptonJune 7, 2010
