This was really a great experience. My wife and I got to enjoy the flavor of the Island in a relaxed island setting. The food and entertainment were great and the staff made every effort to make us feel welcome. A must do activity.

This was our first Luau and we enjoyed it immensely. Our guide, Jackie, kept the whole group entertained during the bus ride to the luau.
We enjoyed all of the pre-meal activites, and thought mthe food was very good. The after dinner show was beyond our expectations.

food was good, entertainment was good as well....having to manage crowds is difficult, the row by row eating process reminded me of being in school, not at a luau.

The fun journey begins from the bus that picks you up at the hotel. Even the slightly long ride is exciting with the guide's entertaining stories, so you won't get bored. The show features magnificent stage setups and powerful dances that are truly impressive. The seats prepared by Alan were in the best location, allowing us to feel the performance up close. The ice cream served during the break is huge and delicious!
ホテルまでのお迎えのバスの中から、楽しい旅が始まります。少し長い道のりもガイドさんの楽しいお話で盛り
上がり退屈しません。ショーは、壮大な舞台装置や迫力のある踊りは見ごたえがあります。アランさんの用意してくださったシートが最上の場所でしたので、じかに肌に感じる事が出来ました。休憩時間の配られるアイスクリームは特大で美味ですよ。

I went to PCC with my hubby and his family who are originally from Fiji. This was a lot of fun for my son and I and I learned quite a bit about my hubby's culture and the culture of surrounding islands.
The Samoan village was a lot more laid back than the other villages. They really try to get a laugh out of you. I don't remember the guys name... but he talked about his culture and he was making little jokes left and right.
The Fijian village was a lot more serious but just as fun. The did a lot of dances for us and even brought my mother-in-law on stage to dance with them. My son and I got fake Fijian tattoos that meant "warrior" and "queen" and since my hubby used to work at PCC we got a personal tour from him and his old boss.
The night show was very entertaining. Especially at the end with the Samoans brought the fire into the show.
I would definitely go again. We had a blast.

If it is raining for this event it will be moved indoors. Our Luau had to be moved indoors and it wasn't as much fun... Because they had to move the location it took longer to get started. The staff was very kind. If there is the chance of rain, try to reschedule for another night if possible! (The open bar helped make it all OK!)

I was travelling alone, but with all the cousins I met I had a blast. Even the bus ride to Paradise Cove was fun because cousin Trina was awesome! I enjoyed all of the activities and the show was great. The property is georgeous and beautiful sunset photos here. I payed for the Deluxe VIP package and was happy with it because as soon as I was at my table I didn't have to leave. I was brought my very tasty dinner to my table, as well as drinks whenever I needed. I would definately recommend this especially for groups or people celebrating something. I want to go to Paradise Cove again!

This time, participating in the Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show was a truly memorable day. As mentioned in the title, there was a bit of a mishap. The bus was supposed to pick us up from the hotel for the tour, but we completely misunderstood the meeting point for tomorrow's tour and ended up at the gathering place for the Hyatt Regency at 4 PM instead of Ohana Waikiki West! Well, since the tour bus had arrived there before 4 PM, we were waiting in line without any worries, but the guide seemed to notice something was off. It was then that we realized we had made a mistake and hurried to Ohana! Half of us ran, while the other half lagged behind! It turned out that the bus was indeed for that tour… The latecomers managed to get on the bus, while half of us didn’t.
Somehow, we managed to get on the bus and became quite famous among the passengers. Most of the participants were foreigners, and since the guide didn't speak Japanese, that added to the confusion. However, since we were in a foreign country, we wanted to be as far away from Japanese people as possible. Everyone was friendly, and even with broken English, it was more than enough! The attractions before dinner and the show were also great. We got to ride in a canoe, make head leis, and play around with various activities. Before we knew it, it was time for the show!
The show was incredibly impressive. We are quite familiar with Hawaii (having been there 7 or 8 times), but this was a really good tour with rich content that allowed us to enjoy both the foreign atmosphere and Hawaii. I think it’s a fantastic tour. On the way back, they even took photos for us until the very end. That’s probably why so many foreigners gather for it. I would love to participate again.
今回、このルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーに参加させて頂きとても思い出になる一日でした。タイトルにある様にハプニングというのは、ツアー参加のためにホテルまでバスで迎えに来て貰えるのですが、なんと私達は明日のツアーの集まる所と全く勘違いをしていて私達は4時にオハナワイイキキウエストなのにハイアットリージェンシーの集まり場に来てしまっていて!まぁそこに4時前にそのツアーのバスは来ていた為、何も気にせずに並んでたのですがガイドさんが何かおかしい様子。そこで私達も集まる所を間違ったと気づき急いでオハナへ!が我々の半分は走り、半分は少し出遅れ!所がそのバスはそのツアーのバスだった様で…。出遅れチームはバスに乗れ、半分は…。
とか何とかでなんだカンダでバスに乗れ一躍バスの中では有名人。そう、なんとこのツアーはほとんどが外人。ガイドも日本語通じないのでこんな事に。が、やはり海外に来たからには日本人とはなるべく離れたい。皆フレンドリーで片言英語でも十分!また内容も夕食&ショーの前のアトラクションがまたいい。カヌーに乗ったり頭のレイやプレス、色々遊んでくれました。あっという間に時間がたちショーの時間!
これまた迫力ありあり。私たちは結構ハワイのリピーターですが(7.8回)行ってますが。なかなか良いツアーで内容濃いし外国またハワイを堪能でき、すごく良いツアーだと思います。帰りも最後まで写真の対応をしてくれたり。だからこそ外国の方々も集まるのだろう。また参加したいです。

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating. The seating is determined by the meal, but even the standard option is enjoyable enough. Since it's an outdoor stage, it was a bit cold for the season, and I didn't understand the language at all, but even with those factors, the powerful dances, comedic performances, and hula mixed together made the time fly by.
If I get tired of the beach, I would like to participate in various attractions at the Polynesian Cultural Center starting in the morning.
何度かハワイに行ってますが、今回初めて参加しました。
食事によって席が決まりますが、スタンダードでも十分楽しめます。
野外ステージの為、時期的に寒く、言葉は全然わかりませんが、それらを差し引いても
迫力あるダンス、コミカルなダンス、フラなど色々織り交ぜ、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
ビーチに飽きたら、朝から参加しポリネシア・カルチャー・センターのいろんなアトラクションに参加してみたいと思います

We participated in an optional tour that was very Hawaiian for my parents' first trip to Hawaii with our family of nine.
Since it included transportation and meals, we could enjoy our trip without worrying about arranging cars or making restaurant reservations, even if it got late at night.
My parents seemed to enjoy the Samoan show the most. The evening show "Horizon" was also amazing. The ice cream we had during the break of the show was delicious too.
父母の初ハワイ旅行の時9人の家族で、ハワイらしいオプショナルツアーということで、参加しました。
送迎付きですし、食事もついているので、大人数のハワイ旅行でも、車の手配や、レストランの予約の心配をすることなく夜遅くなっても安心して参加できました。
父母は、サモアのショーが、一番楽しかったようです。
イブニングショー「ホライズン」もすごかったです。ショーの休憩中に食べた、アイスクリームもおいしかったです。

If you're traveling to Hawaii, I think you should definitely experience this at least once. While water sports and shopping can be done in other places, shows like this are unique to Hawaii. Not only was there a language barrier, but all the procedures and arrangements were tailored for Americans, yet I still enjoyed it. I was satisfied with both the food and the show. It would have been nice if the leis and photos were included in the participation fee instead of having to pay for them on the spot, as I wanted to feel like I was receiving a gift.
ハワイに旅行に来たなら、一度は体験するといいと思います。ウォータースポーツや買い物は他の場所でもできますが、こういうショーはハワイ独特のものなので。言葉の問題だけでなく、すべての手続きやしきりがアメリカ人向けにできていましたが、楽しめました。お料理もショーも満足しました。価格を上げてもいいから、レイや写真はその場でお金を出して買うのでなく、参加費に含まれているとよかったです。プレゼントされる気分を味わいたかったので。

This was the first Luau we had ever gone to and it exceded our expectations. The setting was amazing. It was truly a paradise. There were so many activities to participate in, the shows were beautifully performed, and all of the staff were so pleasant and helpful and the food was delicious. We have recommended it to everyone. It is an experience you don't want to miss. When we come back to Oahu, I know that the Paradise Cove Luau is one of the first things we will sign up for.

It was convenient to hold the event at the hotel where we stayed. The weather was uncertain, but once you enter (they say no refunds even if it rains), seating is free, although the central seats are reserved and filled (there were reservation signs until the end, but many remained unoccupied). Most of the guests were foreigners, but there was no sense of discomfort. Upon entry, everyone could pour drinks from the bottles at the counter and enjoy unlimited drinks (there were no sample cocktails like in the photos). Before the meal, we all gathered to watch the ceremonial Kalua pig (steamed roast pork). The meal started buffet-style at each table, and the food was smoothly served. There was no explanation of the dishes, but they had a local flavor and were delicious.
The show began with the lighting of the torches, featuring Hawaiian and Tahitian dances, and there were plenty of opportunities for guest participation. The host, who had a different sense of engagement than what you would find in Japan, did a great job of energizing the show. Even though I didn't understand the English, it was an entertaining performance.
宿泊ホテルでの開催で便利でしたのでふんぱつ
天候が不安でしたが入場(入場すると雨でも返金しないそうです)席は自由ですが中央席は予約席で埋まっています(最後まで予約札が有るが多くは埋まらなかった)客はほとんど外人ですが違和感が有りません、入場すると各自飲み物をカウンターの酒ビン、ボール内より注いで飲み放題(写真のようなサンプルカクテルは無い)食事前のセレモニーカルーアピック(豚の蒸し焼き)を皆で輪になり見学、食事をビユッフェスタイルで席ごとに開始、料理はスムースに取れた料理内容の説明書は無く内容的にはローカル色がありおいしかった、
たいまつ点火でショーの開始、ダンスはハワイアン、タヒチアンなど客の参加ショーもふんだんに取り入れ特に進行役(日本人には無い感覚)がショーの盛り上げがうまく英語は分からないが面白いショーでした。

We highly recommend this luau - the whole family from age 7 to age 75 enjoyed it. The food was awesome, the gardens were beautiful and the dancing was amazing. I love that this is a family run business, and you can tell that they all really invest their time and care into every detail. Even grandpa Smith was out in the food line making sure the buffet was tidy and fresh. I was really impressed by the quality of the dancers! Some might say, though, that this is a bit on the "schmaltzy" side - it might not have the cosmopolitan feel of some of the other luaus, I certainly wouldn't say it was a romantic or upscale sort of thing - but I liked the old-time feel of it. Also, don't rush to get there, we arrived at the very beginning and took the tram ride through the gardens - then waited about an hour for the entertainment and refreshments to start.

Best meal we had on the island, & the entertainment was really well done. This was our first trip to the Big Island for our 20th anniversary, so we were trying to pack in a wide variety of activities. A Luau was almost a must on the list of things to do. We were not sure what to expect, but the experience was one we wouldn't have wanted to miss. Very well done by everyone involved. Mahalo!

soooo much fun!!!!!!! That was the best thing we did in Hawaii. We were
in Hawaii last year with our daughters and our schedule didn't work so
well for us to attend. When we went this year we felt bad that our girls
had to miss out on such a wonderful time. Everyone working there was so
helpful and very nice, and friendly. We are very glad that we did it this
