Paradise Cove Luau

Serving Hawaii's malihini (guests) and kama'aina (locals) for more than 20 years, Paradise Cove is one of the largest and most respected luau shows in Hawaii. Located on the leeward coast of Oahu, Paradise Cove boasts brilliant sunset views from 12-oceanfront acres. Celebrating the culture and history of Hawaii, each of the luau packages is designed to give you an authentic Hawaiian experience.

The Paradise Cove Luau begins with a tropical Mai Tai greeting, and live Hawaiian music sets the festive mood of the evening. Casually stroll through the Hawaiian Village and learn the arts and crafts of the islands or test your skills at the Hawaiian Games. After the delightful Shower of Flowers, participate in the Hukilau on the Beach and learn the net fishing techniques of old Hawaii. Witness the pageantry of the Royal Court Procession and the time-honored techniques of underground oven cooking at the Imu Ceremony.

Your 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, award-winning performers will entertain and amaze with an unforgettable display of songs and dances of Hawaii and Polynesia at the Paradise Cove Extravaganza.

There are 3 packages available for the Paradise Cove Luau, making it suitable for all tastes and budgets. If there is one experience you must have during your visit to Oahu, it is a night of Hawaiian culture and hospitality at a traditional luau.

Arts and Crafts:
The arts and crafts of old Hawaii are as beautiful as they are intricate and complex. During your visit to Paradise Cove, be sure to visit the Hawaiian Village and take part in arts and crafts demonstrations. Learn how to make a traditional Hawaiian lei or leave with a slightly more permanent memory, temporary Polynesian tattoos.

Hawaiian Games:
In ancient Hawaii, games were created as a form of entertainment, but also to develop the skills of the warriors. At Paradise Cove you can take part in some of the more popular traditional Hawaiian games. To test your skills try 'O'o ihe (Spear throwing), 'Ulu maika (Rolling stone disks) and Moa pahe'e (Dart sliding).
