Paradise Cove

Pearl Harbor & Leeward O‘ahu


Pre-buffet activities include Hawaiian games and a hukilau (net-fishing) party, adding an interactivity that kids love at this luau. The much-hyped dinner show features dances from across Polynesia. It's just north of the resort area, about 30 miles west of Waikiki. Like other luaus, there are extra charges for seating closer to the performers.
