If a luau is high on your list of things to do in Hawaii, then a Paradise Cove Orchid Buffet Luau is the perfect way to make your vacation a trip to remember. Paradise Cove is located on the rocky coastline of Waianae, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Sea breezes, spectacular sunsets, and the smell of plumeria blossoms greet you as you start your luau adventure. Upon arrival you are welcomed with a flower lei and a refreshing Mai Tai cocktail.

Stroll through the traditional Hawaiian Village and enjoy cultural activities of arts and crafts, games of skill, and a coconut tree climbing demonstration. Volunteer to join others in the Hukilau ceremony and pull in the fishing nets from the sea as Hawaiian villagers have done for so many years. In the amphitheater, be awed by the pageantry of the Royal Court in full traditional dress as they enter for the unearthing of the kalua pig from the Imu pit (underground steam oven) where it has been cooking since early morning. As the sun begins to set, the conch shells are blown summoning you to dinner. Be seated in the lovely Orchid Luau section of the dining pavilion and enjoy a feast of traditional island favorites along with continental favorites.

Your buffet includes taro rolls, poi, lomilomi salmon, kalua pig, green salad, pasta salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, fresh fish, steamed rice, fried chicken, fresh pineapple, coconut pudding, and coconut banana cake. The Orchid Buffet also affords you two premium drink tickets. As you eat, enjoy the relaxing entertainment of traditional Polynesian music and dancing featuring Tahitian dancers, Hawaiian hula, and the dramatic Samoan fire knife dance. There's even a chance for you to join the dancers on stage in an audience participation section of the performance. As your evening comes to an end, the Paradise Cove family will wish you a heart felt "Mahalo" as you head home and remember the drums, grass skirts, marvelous sunsets, and aloha spirit of your evening at Paradise Cove.
