Hilton Waikiki Starlight Luau with Fire Dancers, Hula Show & Dinner Buffet

Good food and show

Reviewed by: manxlad

All in all, was a good experience. The entertainment was excellent. Much less people than at the Polynesian Cultural Center lu'au which was very nice. The only problem was the server who was extremely rude and sarcastic and made a part of the night very unpleasant.

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

Everything in Hawaii starts here. ハワイの全てはここから

Reviewed by: ハワイラバー

It's a place where you can spend a relaxing day. You can enjoy various experiences, and it's fun for both children and adults all day long. I especially think the luau is great because you can experience ancient Hawaiian culture and cuisine. After the luau, you can watch various Polynesian dances. I love Hawaiian hula; it's very beautiful. You won't get bored staying from morning until night.

一日ゆっくりと過ごせる場所です。色々な体験もできますし子供から大人まで一日楽しめます。とくにルアウは古来ハワイの文化や食事が体験できるので良いと思います。ルアウの後はポリネシアンダンスが色々ご覧になれます。ハワイのフラはとても素敵で大好きです。朝から夜まで居てもあきません。

First show 初めてのショー

Reviewed by: ま～ゆ

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my husband and I participated in the "Twilight Deluxe" tour in the evening. Although I have visited Hawaii several times, it was my first time going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was a bit worried about the distance since I'm not great with cars, but during the ride, our Japanese guide shared enjoyable stories, and we arrived in just a little over an hour.

The restaurant near the entrance that we usually used for meals was under construction, so we took a canoe to a restaurant located deeper inside the center. During the ride, the paddler explained the Polynesian countries on both sides of the river in English. The meal itself wasn't particularly deluxe, but we had plenty of fruit.

After eating, we walked to the theater near the entrance and were surprised to find that the facility was much larger than I had expected, and almost all the seats were filled. The bus guide mentioned that about 20% of the tourists were Japanese, which seemed accurate, as most others appeared to be families from the mainland and older couples from Europe.

The show featured high-quality dancers and was very impressive. The story was well-structured, and we enjoyed various dances from different Polynesian countries, laughing and watching the fire dance—it went by in no time. Photography was prohibited during the show, but afterward, we were able to take pictures with the dancers.

I heard that the content of the show had just changed recently, and I would love to see a different version next time. Also, I definitely want to go during the day next time to see the canoe show and participate in various activities from different Polynesian countries!

ハワイ到着日に‘夕方出発　トワイライトデラックス’に旦那と一緒に参加ました。
何度かハワイに訪れた事はありますが　ポリネシア文化センターに行くのは初めてでした。
車に強くないのでちょっと遠いのが心配でしたが　移動中は日本語ガイドさんが楽しいお話を聞かせて下さり　一時間ちょっと位で到着しました。
通常食事で使用していた入り口近くのレストランが工事中との事で　センター内奥の方にあるレストランにカヌーで移動し　移動中は　漕ぎ手の方が　河の左右にあるポリネシアの国々の説明を英語でしてくれました。
お食事の内容はそんなにデラックスではありませんでしたが　フルーツを沢山頂きました。
食後　入り口近くのシアターまで徒歩で行き　思っていたよりもかなり大きな施設で　ほぼ席が埋まっており　驚きました。
バスのガイドさんが　日本人観光客は２割程度と仰ってましたが　実際その位で　他はメインランドのファミリーやヨーロッパの老夫婦が多く感じました。
ショーは　ダンサーのクオリティが高く　とても迫力がありました。
ストーリーもしっかりしていて　様々なポリネシアの国々のダンスを楽しみながら　途中大笑いしたり　ファイヤーダンスを見たり　あっという間でした。
ショーの最中は撮影禁止ですが　ショーの後には　ダンサーさんと一緒にお写真を撮って頂けました。
最近　ショーの内容が変わったばかりだと聞きましたが　また違うバージョンも見てみたいと思いました。
あと　次回は是非お昼から行って　カヌーのショーを見たり　いろんなポリネシアの国々のアクテビティに参加してみたいと思います☆

Fire ファイヤー　

Reviewed by: と～る

I went to Hawaii for my first overseas trip this time. I participated in the tour of the Polynesian Cultural Center starting from the evening of the arrival day. During the one-hour drive from the pickup, I enjoyed the scenery from the car window. After arriving, we took a canoe to move to the restaurant deep within the park.

As for the meal, it was a buffet style, and while the taste was just okay, I appreciated the variety of fruits available. We didn't use the canoe to get to the theater; instead, we walked for about 15 minutes while taking photos along the way. Since I ordered the deluxe course, our seats in the theater were in the second row from the front, which was the best position to enjoy the show.

At first, I didn't have high expectations for the show since I didn't understand English, but as soon as it started, I was captivated by the energy of the many dancers and the story of the show, and before I knew it, the first act was over. During the intermission, I used the dessert coupon from the ticket to enjoy a large serving of ice cream.

In the second act, there were comedic scenes that made me laugh out loud, and I also enjoyed the fire dance. It was a wonderful show that I could only experience in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied. When the show ended, everyone gave a standing ovation, and it was very moving. HA!

今回　初めての海外旅行でハワイに行きました。
到着日の夕方から　このポリネシア文化センターのツアーに参加しました。
ピックアップから一時間ほどの移動中も　車窓からの景色が楽しめました。
到着後　カヌーに乗って園内　奥のレストランまで移動しました。
食事の内容ですが　バイキング方式で　まぁ　そこそこの味でしたが　フルーツの種類が多くて良かったです。
シアターまでは　カヌーは利用せず　途中　写真を撮りながら　１５分程徒歩で移動しました。
デラックスのコースを頼んだので　シアターの座席は　前から２番目というベストポジションでショーを楽しめました。
最初は　英語も解らないのでショーの内容は余り期待していませんでしたが　始まった途端　大勢のダンサーたちの気迫とショーのストーリーに引き込まれてしまい　あっという間に１幕が終わりました。
休憩時間中に　チケットのデザートクーポンを利用し　大盛りのアイスクリームを頂きました。
２幕目からはコミカルな場面で大笑いしたり　ファイヤーダンスも楽しめ　ハワイでしか体感できないすばらしいショーで大満足しました。
ショーが終わると全員スタンディングオベーションで　とても感動的でした。

You get lei'd and you get a welcome drink and your picture taken with a hula dancer. You get to do activities like how to make a lei and get your picture taken while you are ona canoe ride. Then you get a little bit of Polynesian history of how to get and break a coconut, how the old hawaiians catch fish, and the many different ways to wear a sarong. Then everyone gathers in the Imu Stadium where you see the unveiling of the slow cooked wrapped in Ti leaves, Kahlua Pig from the pit. Then they sit you down for a delicious luau feast. And you can asks for 2nds and 3rds. Then concluding night of an hour long fantastic entertaining show of music, hula dancing and a Samoan fire dance. It is located in Ko Olina. Fabulous ocean views and sunset. Do not forget your camera! Alooooooooooha!

Super Ambassador so worth it!

Reviewed by: Linda

My sister and I had lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the 50s and returned for her 70th birthday. The PCC was not in existence when we lived there but I had visited it with my husband in the 70s. Since we didn't think we would travel to Hawaii again, sis and I decided to go "whole hog" and booked the Super Ambassador package for this outing and luau.

To say it was well worth the extra money is putting it mildly! We were treated like royalty from the minute we got off the bus.

Beke (from Mongolia) was our personal guide for the day and gave us each a beautiful shell lei which identified us all day as SAs. Beke couldn't have been more helpful - she carried any extras we had (umbrellas, sweaters - you name it), got us ponchos when it started to rain, dried off the seats we had to sit on for performances after it rained; if there was anything to be done, she did it and with the friendliest attitude we could have wished for. She was punctual, turning up exactly on time when she ha

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Due to a mix-up with the tour company, the pickup location was different from what I had been informed beforehand, so I waited for nearly 30 minutes. However, the shows and events at the center were wonderful. Personally, I especially enjoyed the canoe pageant. I was surprised by the large number of people, even on a weekday, which showed just how popular it is.

催行会社の手違いか、ピックアップ場所が、事前に聞いていた場所と異なったため、30分近く待ちました。ですが、センターでのショーやイベントは、素晴らしかったです。個人的には特にカヌーページェントが気に入りました。平日にも拘わらず、かなり人が多かったのには驚きましたが、人気の高さがうかがえました。

Typical luau is on a buffet style dinner and sometimes you have to wait in a long line before you get your food but with Aha Aina, everything is conveniently served to your table, delicious appetizers, filling main entrée, and multiple choices of beverages. Their servers are fast too, very friendly and accommodating. I can only say good things as I totally enjoyed it! I'll be sure to go again.

Reviewed by: Andrew Valentine

This is far from any traditional luau experience where the typical and expected food and Polynesian show has been conceptualized to provide a very unique Hawaiian culinary and entertainment experience. The narrative is centered around history rather than mythology, unusual for a luau. They moved us indoors because they thought it was going to rain. The food was tasty and filling, service was good, show excellent and informative and the ambiance of this pink hotel was magic ... oh and it's open bar too!!!

Polynesian Cultural Center on a rainy day 雨の日のポリネシアン文化センター

Reviewed by: LOCOCO

We visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was pouring rain. Upon arriving at the center, we received ponchos and the tour began. Due to the bad weather, I was more concerned about my footing than the scenery, which really diminished the enjoyment, and that was very disappointing. However, the one saving grace was that we managed to see the dance show on the boat that takes place once a day. The buffet dinner was delicious. But the evening show, "Hā: Breath of Life," was so moving that it gave me goosebumps. It received a standing ovation. I think it's worth seeing the show at least once. If I go again, I would like to opt for a tour that includes just dinner and the show.

夫婦で初めて訪れたポリネシアン文化センター。残念ながら天気はどしゃぶりの雨。センターについてポンチョをもらってツアーが始まりました。悪天候のため景色より、足元ばかり気になってしまい、やっぱり楽しみが半減したのがとても残念でした。でも、なんとか一日一回行われるボートの上でのダンスショーがみれたのが、唯一の救いでした。ブッフェのディナーはおいしかったです。でも、イブニングショーの「ハァ・ブレス・オブ・ライフ」は鳥肌が立つほど、感動しました。スタンディングオベーションでした。一度だけでもいいから、ショーは見たほうがいいと思います。もしまた行くなら、ディナーとショーだけのツアーを利用したいと思いました。

This is a great show with a wonderful easy to follow storyline. The performers were extremely talented and appeared to truly be enjoying what they were doing. I should comment that this show is designed for a more adult/senior audience where the recommended dress is less casual and the menu is very extensive and in a more formal type dining atmosphere.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time! I think I was able to learn about the various ethnic groups and cultures in the region known as Polynesia. It was fun to see a few selected guests go up on stage and participate in an entertaining show.

I experienced hula dancing for the first time and realized how difficult it is. I can't move my hips as smoothly and softly as that!

What I really liked was the fire dance! I had seen it on a television program before, but seeing it live was a completely different level of intensity!

I was surprised to see such small children able to perform fire dancing!

The final grand dance show was composed of a large number of performers, and it was very moving. The sight of them passionately performing was very impressive. However, if I were to express a dissatisfaction, I would have preferred the content to be a bit richer and easier to understand. They used a large screen to explain the flow and content of the show, but since all the audio that accompanied the visuals was in English, I couldn't fully grasp the content. I was watching while imagining what they wanted to convey through the visuals.

初めてポリネシア文化センターにいきました！！
ポリネシアと言われる地域には、色々な民族がある事や、色々な文化がある事を知る事が出来たと思います。
一般のお客さんが数名指名されて、ステージに上がり面白ろおかしく行うショーが楽しかったです。

フラダンスの体験を始めてして、フランダンスの難しさをしりました。あんなに柔らかく揺ら揺らと腰を動かせません。

気に入ったのがやっぱりファイヤーダンス！！
以前、テレビ番組の放送で見た事はありましたが、やっぱり実際、生で見るのは迫力が違いました！！

こんな小さい子がここまでファイヤーダンスを出来る事にビックリさせられました！！

ラストの最大級のダンスショーは、大人数で構成されていて感動しました。
必死にショーを行う姿がとても印象的でした。
けれど、不満を上げますと、もうちょっと内容が濃いくて、分かりやすい内容だと良かったなぁと思いました。
ショーの流れと言いますか、内容を説明する為に、
大型スクリーンを使っていましたが、その映像と同時に流れる音声は全て英語だった為、よく内容が把握できませんでした。

Each Village that you will visit will provide you with a description of their creation and demonstrate their unique culture through dance, song, and demonstrations.
