I will be honest- before attending the evening, I was sceptical. I thought it would be a tourist hot spot, more focused on the "show" and spectacle than with anything else. But I was wrong- yes, it was of course full of tourists, but it was more historical and cultural than I expected it to be. The tour started with... More

Loved the entire program, the way that the history of Highland Paradise was shown and told to us and everyon there was amazing! The buffet is just amazing and the entertainment is just unbelieveably good.

We had an amazing time at Highland Paradise and can thoroughly recommend it. The dancing was authentic and natural compared to other shows we saw.

The restoration of the 800 year old stone Murai (parliment) to the traditional foods cooked on hot stones buried under palm... More

The show here was brilliant. I have seen a few throughout Cook Islands and New Zealand this was by far the best. Would go back again

We were lucky to receive free tickets to this show but if we hadn't we would have no regrets about paying - I think it was $89nz per person and I think good value for money as we were collected from our resort at 5.15pm and didn't get home until 10.15pm and there was a huge meal which was delicious....

The show was so amazing. I have been to luaus in Hawaii and the history of this show really outshines anything I have ever seen. I really liked the way the story was told by the dancers. We took in the show early in our trip, and was glad that we did as it really gave us an amazing insight... More
