We just purchased the general admission which starts at 4pm til 9pm Friday, 9/14.
We thought that when we get there there will be entertainment in each island that was presented but to our surprise some of the islands are empty. No performers. We did the canoe ride wherein you don't really see much entertainment, just showed us the different cultures of diff. islands.
The Cultural show was the best. But because of the site where we seat we could not really see it very well.
But we had a great time.
Suggestion: It would be nice if you have some more choices of menu in the snack bar for those guests that did not buy the package with the dinner and the luau so they can also enjoy the food even if they have to buy it themselves.

Good food, unlimited drinks, great entertainment (variety of dances both males and females), great host and service. The only complaint I have is that the seating was horrible. The seats were literally right up against each other so you don't have much arm or leg room. It was hard to get in and out of your seat because they were so close together. Overall wonderful experience! They even ask you if you want shaded or sun seating.

It's a place with a very nice atmosphere. There are fewer Japanese people here. I was wondering what to do since there seemed to be quite a bit of time before the show, but before I knew it, time flew by as I took a walk, took photos, had some drinks, and got a lei made. I received drink tickets, but I couldn't use them all. The cocktails are generously poured, which is great for those who enjoy a drink. It seems that non-alcoholic drinks were free. During the show, you can eat, dance, chat, and take photos freely, so I think it's fun for families. Of course, couples will be even happier. Women might want to dress up a bit. You'll receive the photos taken, so it makes for great memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully understand the jokes made by the guide in English on the shuttle bus. However, you can still enjoy yourself even if you don't speak English at all. The staff can speak a little Japanese, so there’s no trouble communicating. They are very considerate. On this day, I was able to take wonderful sunset photos. Silhouettes of people against the backdrop of a red sky and palm trees. It's a show that makes you think Hawaii is wonderful.
雰囲気がとてもいいところです。日本人は少なめです。ショーまでかなり時間があるようなのでどうするのかなぁと思っていたら、散歩したり、写真撮ったり、お酒飲んだり、レイ作ってもらったりとしてたらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。飲み物のチケットを貰うのですがとても使い切れません。カクテルのアルコール量はおおざっぱに多めに入れてくれますので酔っぱらいには嬉しいです。ノンアルコールはただだったみたいだし。ショーの最中は食べたり、踊ってたり、喋ったり、写真撮ったり自由にできますので家族で行くと楽しいと思います。勿論カップルで行くとさらに幸せです。女性は少しおしゃれしていくといいでしょう。撮った写真を貰いますのでいい思い出になります。送迎のバスの中は英語なのでガイドがジョークを言ってもよく理解できなかったのが残念でした。でも英語ができないと楽しめないということは全くありません。スタッフは片言日本語ができますので意志の疎通に困ることはありません。よく気使ってくれます。この日素晴らしい日没の写真がとれました。赤く染まった空に椰子の木のシルエットを背景に写る人影。ハワイって素敵だなと思えるショーです。

Smith's Luau was a wonderful experience for us. I brought my daughter and 3 grandsons ages 9, 10, and 12, and we all enjoyed it. The grounds are perfect, the staff is very professional, and the show was excellent. The food was great, it was the best pig I have ever eaten. When I go back to Kauai, I will definately go back for another of the Smiths' Family Luau. Thanks for having us and sharing your beautiful grounds with us.

I made a reservation for the deluxe seating. Surprisingly, I was in the second row from the front, right by the aisle, almost in the center of the stage, which was incredibly impressive! At first, I was a bit sleepy, but I was completely captivated by the final fire show?! (^_^;) The guide's various stories during the ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center were also very helpful.
デラックスで予約しました。なんとステージほぼ中央の通路側の前から2列目で迫力満点でした!
最初は眠たかったけど最後のファイヤーショー?!(^_^;)は食い入るように見入ってました。
ポリネシア文化センターに向かう車内でガイドさんの色々なお話も参考になりました。

I think it's good for people visiting Hawaii for the first time, but if you think of it as a casual dinner while watching a show, it can be a bit challenging since it's 65 kilometers away from Waikiki.
初めてハワイに行く人にはいいと思いますがショーを見ながらディナーと気軽に考えて行くと、ワイキキから65キロ離れているのでちょっと大変です。

i thought the luau was good, i had a pretty good time with my girlfriend. i paid more for the royal package but the only difference with the standard one is that it included a few more drinks, but since the cocktails are very small, i dont think paying the extra money is worth it. the food could be better, although the location makes up for it; the sunset doesnt get any better than that.

The content of the luau show was all in English, and there were parts I understood and parts I didn't, but the atmosphere was fantastic and I had a great time.
The ratio of Japanese people was low. We sat at a long table, and the food was served buffet-style. The staff seemed to be considerate and seated us next to a Japanese couple. They mentioned that they had been to Hawaii many times, and thanks to them, we received helpful tips about convenient places near our accommodation.
Before entering the venue, they took our pictures, and during the meal, they asked, "How about purchasing?"
Regarding the photos, I had been searching for them for a while and felt that the reviews weren't very good, but when I saw the actual photos, they were beautifully taken, so I decided to purchase one as a keepsake.
The other guests, upon realizing we were on our honeymoon, were very friendly, and we were able to chat a little in English, which was enjoyable.
The dancing was powerful and interesting, and the food was delicious!
I think if you have language skills, you could enjoy it even more!
ルアウショーの内容は全て英語で、所々分かったり分からなかったりでしたが、雰囲気も抜群で楽しかったです。
日本人の比率は少ないです。長いテーブルに座って料理はバイキング形式でした。
スタッフの方が気を使ってくださったのか、日本人のご夫婦とお隣にしてくれました。ハワイは何度も来ているそうで、おかげさまで、宿泊先近辺の便利な所を教えてくださったりで、とても助かりました。
会場の方が、入場する前に写真を取ってくれて食事中に「購入はどうですか?」という感じで聞かれます。
この写真については、以前から検索していて前評判が良くなかったと感じたのですが、実物の写真を見たらきれいに撮れていたので、せっかくだから・・・ と記念に購入しました。
私達がハネムーンだと分かった周囲のお客さん達も、とてもフレンドリーで少しだけ英語でお話したりできて楽しかったです。
ダンスも迫力があって面白かったし、料理もおいしかったです!
語学力があれば、もっと楽しめると思います!

I thought there would be an option to watch a meal and dance, but there was a little lecture before the meal on hula dancing, palm leaf crafts, and body painting with ink. The chicken for the meal was very delicious.

Oh my goodness! What a way to start off your Hawaiian vacation. My wife and I attended this luau out of the many choices because it came highly recommended. As soon as you enter, they will take a pic which is free with the royal package. Then you can walk around and take part in the many games. You can also make your own lei hat and other things. It's so cool. When the activity starts, you learn a lot about hawaii tradition at several different demonstrations. Then you go to the ceremonial unconvering of the pig (try not to sit directly in the sun like we did). After that, you are seated to prepare for the show. We chose the royal box deluxe package and received all kind of goodies as well as dinner service. This package is recommended because you can see the show very well and you get served so you don't have to get up. If you want seconds, they will bring it to you. I felt like a king. THe show itself is amazing and a great experience. Oh and they will ask for volunteers

I was hesitant to commit to the show until the end since I was returning to the hotel late with my 9-year-old child, but we decided to go for the evening show. It was indeed an impressive performance, and my child was thrilled. On the bus ride back, my child was sound asleep, but they said they had a great time. I wanted to go to the IMAX theater, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to see it, which was disappointing.
9歳の子供と一緒でホテルに帰るのが遅くなるので、最後まで申し込むか悩んだのですが、夜のショー付にしました。でもやはり迫力のあるショーで子供も大喜びでした。帰りのバスで子供はぐっすりでしたけど、楽しかったそうです。IMAXシアターに行きたかったのですが、時間がなくて見れずに残念でした。

It was a very good and unique experience for both of us. The only thing that I think you should include in your website or ads is to tell them that it can be draining since it is a whole day affair. We were both exhausted due to long walks and the humid weather. Otherwise, very good!

This was my fourth time at Polynesian. The kids were there for the second time, but it was their first time participating in a tour. Because of that, we had a Japanese-speaking guide (a Japanese exchange student), which made it even more enjoyable than before. The evening show was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious too. The kids ate a lot of cake.
ポリネシアンは、今回で4回目。子供たちは2回目でしたが、はじめて、ツアーでの参加でした。その為、日本語ツアーの方(日本字留学生)が案内してくれるので、今まで以上に楽しめました。夜のショーは、とっても最高でした。食事もおいしかったですよ。こどもたちは、ケーキをいっぱい食べてました。
