emuangel Posted March 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2013 My husband and I will be on the Pride of America in August and will be spending a few extra days in Oahu. We wanted to do a luau in Oahu so we don't have do deal with the busy luaus that the cruise passengers will be at when we're in port. Has anyone done any of the following luaus and what did you think of them? - Chief's Luau - Germaine's Luau - Paradise Cove Luau Anyone been to any others that I didn't mention that are good or ones to avoid? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisechaos Posted March 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2013 My sister lives on Oahu and recommends Germaine's. She feels it is the most authentic of the luaus offered. She took us the last time we visited and we loved it. I enjoyed seeing the meal come out of the imu -- very interesting! The food was great (and they were able to accommodate my food allergy), entertainment was fun, and everyone was so kind. I highly recommend them.

MissMet Posted March 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2013 On our trip in 2008 we went to Paradise Cove and LOVED it. It's on a beautiful beach in Ko Olina. Before the luau they have exhibits where you can try different Hawaiian traditions, games, etc. We watched a guy climb a palm tree, open a coconut, you can ride in an outrigger... We really enjoyed it, plus Germaine's seating is picnic tables, where paradise cove has regular tables & chairs with backs. That's what helped us make our decision. Gotta be comfy for the show. :) We're going again this May!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted March 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have been to both Germaine's and Paradise Cove. Germaine's is more just the show. Paradise Cove has some Hawaiian culture/crafts along with the show. I enjoyed Paradise Cove more because of the activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddles99 Posted March 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2013 After reading the Hawaii Revealed series and other reviews, we selected Germaine's for our upcoming trip. I'll be sure to include our experience in my review upon our return! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
