“From the moment you set foot upon our 12 oceanfront acres, you’re our special guest and treated to the finest Hawaii has to offer.”

Your Hawaiian Luau begins with a tropical Mai Tai greeting and traditional Hawaiian music to set the festive mood of the evening. Casually stroll through the Hawaiian Village and learn the Arts & Crafts of the islands or test your skills at our Hawaiian Games.

Go for a canoe ride in our Cove. No swimming allowed. Witness the time-honored techniques of underground oven cooking at the Imu Ceremony.

The evening continues with a feast in the company of friends, old and new. Bring your appetite to fully enjoy Paradise Cove’s extensive menu which tastefully blends the best of traditional Hawaiian dishes, local favorites and continental cuisine.

With the most spectacular Hawaiian sunset as a backdrop, our award-winning performers will entertain and amaze you with an unforgettable display of songs and dances of Hawaii and Polynesian culture at the incomparable Paradise Cove Extravaganza.

Paradise Cove is committed to provide equal access for all customers to the extent required by law. Please contact us in advance (808-842-5911) if you or anyone in your party has a disability and needs an accommodation to equally access our services and facilities or participate during activities during the show.

Mahalo for Visiting

Great luau but permanently closed end of 2025.

Lori W.

We had an awesome experience. Sad to hear they were closing.

The Official C.

Paradise Cove Luau is one of those places where the setting does most of the talking and it speaks fluently. The oceanfront views are absolutely phenomenal, the kind that make you pause mid-conversation and just take it all in. Sunset over the water alone feels like part of the show.

The food is good and satisfying, and the performances are genuinely entertaining, with enough energy, fire, and storytelling to keep both kids and adults engaged. It is clearly designed to be family-friendly, and they execute that well. There is a sense of ease here. No rushing, no pressure, just a well-paced evening that works for all ages.

Now, the one hiccup: the drinks. They are on the expensive side, and the pours are wildly inconsistent. One cocktail might be decent, the next feels like a hopeful memory of alcohol. It is not a deal-breaker, but it is noticeable, especially given the price point.

That said, Paradise Cove Luau delivers where it matters most: incredible views, good food, fun shows, and a welcoming atmosphere for families. Go for the scenery, stay for the experience, and maybe temper expectations at the bar. Overall, it is a great night out and a classic Oahu experience done right.

billy L.

It is GREAT! I LOVE FIRE DANCING!!!

Deanna Jimenez S.

Loved Paradise cove, just as it was when I went almost 20 years ago. Amazing location, great entertainment and good food! Thank you!

Daniel D.

throughly enjoyed the food and show here! it is absolutely a must-do if you’re visiting honolulu!

Shantrese G.

Absolutely amazing, the view, the food and entertainment. Will certainly go to this luau again!!

brady N.

Great time. Fire show was amazing and kept 4 kids glued to the entertainment. Great food and drinks

Avaiyak B.

Very awesome experience
Worth the trip and amazing service, staff and entertainment

Pete S.

Going to miss this place. Go while you can before it closes

Summer

Great entertainers, yummy food, fun activities and a beautiful location. Highly recommend Paradise Cove!

Nancy B.

So sad to see this place go!

Todd B.

Great Luau with Sprinkles (October 2017)

Robert S.

A fun loua with a beautiful view

Danny B.

This place is awesome. Too bad they are closing due to big money buying out the property. Dec 31, 2025 last day

Steve B.

The Luau we did was great but, not excellent entertainment wise. The food also was good and again not overly great. Shopping gave us many choices and the Island was beautiful.

Dean R.

All though this is the last year they will be open, if you can it's must see and experience everyone there was very friendly and full of excitement. Sad to see such a place go.

Sarah P.

So sad the property got bought out. Best luau on the island. Have been 3-4x.

Ram S.

One of the best locations for a luau with beautiful sunset and stage. The show could have been better. It was ok. Food is like any other luau. Luau are not for the food but the show. Fire dance and dance performers were nice but the commentary was lacking excitement.

vijee B.

Don’t miss this Honolulu’s luau! It’s the island’s best, with vibrant dances that beautifully tell the story of Polynesian culture and an epic fire dance finale.

Rhys

Absolutely stunning setting for this Luau. Great service. Unfortunately its closing down at the end of the year. We are unsure but think this may have been why it was not as good of a show as one of us had experienced before.

The games and photo opportunities were great but slight rushed.

CRE A.

Great show and very tasty food...

Julie

It is an awesome place to go. Food, entertainment and staff is too notch. It is sad that they will close in December.

Tony G.

Great food and show. Shame is it closing. The activities before hand was fun and talking with the performers added to the night. The staff is fantastic.

Craig S.

Was a must do on the visit bucket list. So sad to hear it has been sold. 😔
Seen a endangered seal.
Dancers were awesome and very talented.

Jc C.

Well worth the money. If you’re in Waikiki spend the money for the round trip transportation. It’s not just a bus ride the entertainment literally starts on the bus and makes the trip fun. Some folks complain about the food. If you’re used to southern potluck bbq. You’ll enjoy it. No it’s not a 150 dollar per person dinner. But the trip. The show. The all you can eat bbq and the views (some of the most beautiful on earth) make it an evening worth the money FOR SURE. It’s a must if you’re visiting Honolulu.

I initially invested a total of $105,000 over a period of 5 weeks. My bonus/profit was $830,000, every attempt to make withdrawal failed and I was instructed to make another deposit of $25,000 before I can make withdrawals which I did. till now, I'm still unable to make withdrawals and all attempts to contact brokers have failed. This is very pathetic and I felt so bad losing my investment. I did a due diligence test before investing with them but guess what I ended up getting burned. This is to create awareness, not everybody can be as lucky as I was. I'm saying this because I was able to recover my funds.

So happy with everything as a whole! We got the Orchid package with transportation. Captain Riki was a great driver and Cousin Mo was amazing! The Luau was beautiful. There were many photo spots for amazing photos. The food was yummy. The show was beautiful. You get a Mai Tai as you walk in and a card with enough for 2 more drinks. After the Luau our bus was the party bus. Cousin Mo was hilarious we sang the whole way home and wanted to stay on the bus longer. Mahalo!
