Amazing sunset views

4.00Paradise Cove is a beautiful place for a luau, and the setting alone is worth the visit. The grounds are clean and spacious, and the sunset view was absolutely amazing — definitely one of the best I’ve seen in Oahu. The food was just okay for me. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really stand out compared to other luaus or local spots we tried. The biggest downside was that almost every activity before the show required an extra fee, which was disappointing considering the overall cost of the luau. The show itself was enjoyable and the experience as a whole was good. If you’re going mainly for the ambiance and the sunset, you’ll love it — just be prepared for additional charges if you want to participate in the pre-show activities.

3.00This experience was average. We were actually bored for a while and watched other people pack up to leave well before the show was finished. We only stayed because we had spent nearly $400 and didn't want to give up hope. Drinks were okay. Food was very mediocre. The show itself was not good at all. We can check this experience off of our bucket list now but it definitely didn't live up to expectations.
Not worth the money

3.00We came down from North Shore for the event. The location is very pretty at sunset. Overall the experience was just ok....we even left early. There is opportunity for more education and interaction about the Polynesian cultures. The food and drink also could be improved.
10/10 recommend

Paradise Cove luau disappointing

3.00As visitors to Hawaii a luau was definitely on our to-do list. Because Paradise Cove was recommended and was available during our visit we signed up for that luau. The site was attractive with many activities available although unfortunately not included in the ticket price. We found the food disappointing; some (coconut milk dessert, pork, and the heated frozen mixed vegetables) were tasteless, other food items were acceptable. The event was from 5.- 9 pm, divided into 3 segments, just the right amount of time for the evening. The musical show was very entertaining: the costumes, music, dancing, and fire exhibition were very good. Overall, the evening was pleasant but I would not attend another event at Paradise Cove.
An evening out with family.
