Hawaii
The Polynesian Culture Center was a great experience. The representations of the countries were great. The canoe ride, the canoe parade, and the activities were very well done. Our guides, Hannah and Saydie were awesome. They really made our tour special, and were very informative. The HA fire show was amazing !
The only thing that was disappointing was the dinner. There wasn't much of a variety. I went back for seconds and there was barely any food left, and no fruit. It seemed that we were rushed throught dinner. I was very disappointed in what I thought would be an "authentic" luau.
The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was the Polynesian Cultural Center. The show was of a high standard and I was very satisfied; it made me want to see it again.
The staff (students) who picked us up had a somewhat amateurish charm, which was actually quite nice. I was torn between the standard and deluxe options, but I chose the deluxe. The activities, meal options, and seating for the show differ between standard and deluxe, so I recommend going with the deluxe.
During the day, the staff communicates in Japanese from the hotel pick-up to the departure for the Polynesian Cultural Center, allowing you to enjoy the activities, meals, and show with peace of mind.
今回のハワイで一番楽しみにしていたのが、ポリネシアン文化センター。
ショー内容は、レベルが高く大満足で、また観たくなる内容でした。
迎えのスタッフ(学生さん)は、素人ぽく逆に感じが良かったですね。
スタンダードとデラックスの選択で迷いましたが、デラックスを選択しました。スタンダードとデラックスでは、アクティビティ、食事内容、ショー座席までスタンダードと違うので、デラックスをお薦めします。
昼、近くのホテルでピックアップから、ポリネシアン文化センター出発までスタッフが日本語で対応してくれるので、安心してアクティビティ、食事、ショーを満喫できます。
I attended the Chief's luau with my husband, siblings/spouses, and my elderly parents. A great time was had by all....even got my parents (temporary) tattooed at the event! We enjoyed the pre-show activities and the food was delicious. Chief and his group of entertainers put on an excellent show. This was my first luau, but my siblings had been to others on previous visits and said Chief's luau was their favorite.
We had a great time. We would definitely recommend this to others.
It was a tour with few Japanese participants, but I really felt like I was abroad. The show was sophisticated, and the management was very well organized. There was plenty of time, and I was very satisfied.
日本の方の少ないツアーでしたが、外国に来たなという感じがよかった。ショーは洗練されており、管理が行き届いた運営でした。時間もたっぷりあり大変満足でした。
Thank you very much for the wonderful photos. Please come again. With Aloha.
素敵な写真をたくさん本当にありがとうございます。また是非お越しくださいませ。Alohaを込めて
I participated in the VIP room plan with meals included. The impersonations were fantastic, aiming for perfection. However, it became boring. The time spent was excessively long. Starting with drink time in the green room, followed by waiting, and finally the show after finishing the meal. It was over five hours from the meeting time to when we were finally released. I was quite sleepy during the event, battling drowsiness. I felt bad being in the second row from the front... However, taking a commemorative photo with the impersonators was a nice memory. The food was surprisingly decent for the price. If you haven't seen it before, I think it's worth going, but the enjoyment may vary depending on your interest in the era and music.
食事付きVIPルームのプランで参加しました。
ものまね自体は完璧性を求めて素晴らしかったです。
ただ、飽きます。拘束されている時間が非常に長すぎる。
グリーンルームでのドリンクタイムから始まり、待機時間、食事を済ませてやっとのショー。集合時間から開放される時間まで5時間以上。
かなり、途中で睡魔が襲ってきて 睡魔との戦いでした。
前から2列目だったので、申し訳なかったのですが……。
ものまね芸人さんとの記念写真は思い出になっていいと思います。
食事も意外と、値段相応にそこそこいけます。
一度見たことがなければ、行くのもアリだとは思いますが、
年代と音楽に関しての関心度で、楽しさが変わると思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the Legends in Concert. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the show and the meal. We also appreciate your valuable feedback.
Moving forward, our staff will continue to strive to create shows that can be enjoyed by many generations. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again.

Our family had never been to Hawaii before and a friend at work suggested the Luau at the Smith Planatation and we were so excited. We had a really great time and the staff are so friendly. I would definitely go back.
When staying at Hilton, I will take my children because they want to see the show, but I think the short stay is quite expensive. The dining arrangements vary depending on the price of the seats, so I recommend the more expensive seats. With the cheaper seats, it feels like the show starts just as you finish your meal. However, since it's a major show, I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance for those who want specific seats on their desired viewing date.
ヒルトンに宿泊すると子供が観賞したがるので連れて行きますが、ショートしてはかなり割高だと思います。
シートの値段によって食事への案内が変わるので、高い席がお勧めです。安い席だと食事を取り終える頃にはショーが始まってしまう感じです。
ただメジャーなショーなので希望の席を希望する観賞日でという方は是非事前に予約をお勧めします。
I ordered this for my 6 year old daughter, who it was her first vacation to Hawaii and on a plane. When we got off the plane we were greeted by a woman in a hawaiian dress holding a sign with my daughters name on it.. My daughter was SO excited! She loved her Lei which was perfect and not too big for her little neck. The flowers stayed beautiful during our week long vacation and my daughter loved them hanging off the lamp shade by our bed. An extra bonus was the lei greeter had 2 extra lei's and gave them to us at no charge so we got lei's for the whole family. I would reccomend this for any one who wants to start thier vacation out right!! My daughter loved it and I loved seeing her so happy!
On the last day of our trip, we decided to book a dinner cruise. I thought about wrapping up our time in Hawaii with this, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! The Royal Hawaiian, which I've always admired, was right in front of us, and we had the best location in the front row.
By the time we arrived at the hotel, there was already a line forming, and I was really glad we splurged on the premium seats. The show and the food were amazing, and the all-you-can-drink alcohol made us feel so happy! I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!
旅行最終日に申し込みました。
ハワイの締めくくりにディナークルーズにしようかと思いましたが、こちらにして大正解でした♡
憧れのロイヤルハワイアン♡
海を目の前に最前列で最高のロケーション♡
・・私たちがホテルに着いた頃にはすでに行列ができていて、ちょっと奮発してプレミアム席にして本当によかったーと思いました。
ショーもご飯も素晴らしく、お酒も飲み放題で幸せ気分になれました♡
またハワイに行くときはぜひ参加したいです♪
On the first night of my arrival on Oahu, I watched a show to experience Hawaii. It started while it was still light out, and as dusk turned to night, the content of the show shifted from a relaxed pace to the intense fire dance. The show featured a variety of different performances in a short span, and I learned that there are many types of hula, making me want to delve into its history. The buffet before the show was delicious, and I was able to enjoy traditional dishes to my heart's content, which left me very satisfied. I think it's worth seeing for first-timers.
オアフ島到着初日の夜にハワイを感じるためショーを見ました。
まだ明るい時間からスタートし、だんだん夕暮れから夜になるにつれ、ショーの内容もゆったりしたものからファイヤーダンスの激しいものに変化をしていきます。
ショーも短いスパンでいろんな趣向のものを見せて頂き、一概にフラと言っても色んな種類があることを学びました。フラの歴史を紐解きたくなりました。
ショーの前のバイキングのお料理もどれも美味しく、伝統料理をお腹いっぱい食すことが出来、大満足でした。
初めての方は一度見てみるといいかな、と思いました。
It becomes a look-alike show, similar to what you would find in Japan. There was no Japanese at all, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I had the cheapest cocktail course, but my seat was decent, and I was able to watch the show. After the show, there was also a photo and autograph session available regardless of the course. PS. It's not suitable for children. It's a course aimed at middle-aged people.
日本で言うとモノマネそっくりさんショーになります。日本語は一切ありませんが、十分楽しめました。私は一番安いカクテルコースでしたが、席も悪くなくショーを見ることができました。ショーの後の写真・サイン会もコースに関係なく対応していただけます。PS.子供は無理です。中年向けのコースです。
Thank you very much for visiting the Legends in Concert Waikiki. As you mentioned, the show is conducted in English only, but it has a concert-like atmosphere, making it enjoyable even for guests whose native language is not English.
The show features singing and dancing, so we also welcome families with small children. For packages other than the green room, we have set child pricing, making it easy for families with children to participate.
Of course, our show has been very well received by middle-aged and older guests who find it nostalgic!
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you back again.

予約課
I participated in this luau show because I wanted to immerse myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere during my stay. I made a reservation early with high hopes, but just because I booked early doesn’t guarantee a good seat (cry). It felt like they were seating us in order of arrival. The host spoke in English, so I couldn’t understand what was being said, which might reduce the enjoyment for those who don’t speak English, but the dancing was truly amazing, as expected from the authentic setting. The fire dance, in particular, was incredibly powerful and the best part! The venue isn’t very large, so I think you can see the show well from any spot. Therefore, I felt that it’s sufficient to go with a standard seat without paying extra. The only advantage of the premium seats is that they let you go to the buffet first. The food was fairly good.
滞在中によりハワイ気分を味わいたくて、このルアウショーに参加しました。
気合を入れて早くから予約していたのですが、早く予約を入れたからといっていい席とは限らないのですね(泣)
入場した順番で前の席から案内されるといったカンジでした。
司会進行役(?)の方が英語なので何を言っているのかわからず、英語を話せない方にとっては楽しさ半減かもしれませんが、ダンスはさすが本場だけあって素晴らしかったです。
特にファイヤーダンスが迫力満点で最高でした!
場所的にはそんなに広くないのでどの場所からでもショーは良く見えると思います。
なので、わざわざ高いお金を払わなくてもスタンダードシートで十分だと思いました。
プレミアムシートのメリットはブュッフェを先に取りに行かせてくれるぐらいです。
料理はまあまあ美味しかったです。
The airport pickup was a bit hectic, but the subsequent activities went smoothly. I would like to request this again next time.
空港の送迎で迎えで バタバタしましたが 後のアクティビティーに関しては スムーズに進みました。今度もお願いしたいです。
This was my fourth time in Hawaii. In the past three visits, I participated in sunset cruises with dinner, but this time I wanted to try a different cruise, so I chose this one. It turned out to be a great decision. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. In Waikiki, which is usually filled with Japanese tourists, this cruise offers a taste of foreign charm. Unlimited Mai Tais and the views were fantastic! The homey atmosphere where everyone starts dancing to the music is something you can't easily experience in Japan! The small boat does sway quite a bit, but that adds to the thrill! I definitely want to participate again next time.
4回目のハワイ。過去3回、ディナー付のサンセットクルーズに参加していましたが、いつもと違うクルーズがしたいと思い、こちらを選択。結果、大正解でした。私たちのほかに日本人グループは1組だけ。日本人だらけのワイキキにあって、このクルーズは外国情緒を味わえます。マイタイ飲み放題、景色も最高!みんな音楽に合わせて踊りだすアットホームな雰囲気は日本ではなかなか味わえません!小さい船だから結構揺れますが、それもスリリング!次回からも参加したいと思います。
This theme park introduces the culture of Polynesia, not only from Hawaii but also from Tahiti and Fiji, as the name "Polynesian" suggests. The show had a storyline and felt like a musical, with a wonderful development that kept me engaged until the end. My seat was in the fifth row from the front, making it very easy to see.
The food was delicious, and the service from the students who took care of us was very pleasant. I had heard that the shrimp from Kahuku was tasty, and it truly was sweet, with a light seasoning that suited Japanese tastes perfectly.
Since my hotel was at The Kahala, it was unfortunate that I had to go to a hotel in Waikiki for the outbound transfer, but I was able to get a ride back to The Kahala on the return trip.
If I have time during my next stay, I would like to try the full-day course.
ポリネシアンという名の通り、ハワイだけでなく、タヒチやフィジーなどのポリネシアの文化を紹介するテーマパークです。
ショーも、ストーリがあり、ミュージカルのようになっていて
最後まで飽きることなくすばらしい展開でした。
席も前から5列目でとても見やすかったです。
そして、食事がとてもおいしく、お世話してくれる学生の方々のサービスがとても気持ちの良いものでした。
カフクの海老がおいしいと聞いていましたが、本当に甘くて、味付けも日本人好みの薄味で、最高でした。
滞在ホテルがカハラだったので、往路の送迎が不可との事で、ワイキキ内のホテルまで出なければならなかったのが残念でしたが、復路はカハラまで送迎して頂きました。
次回の滞在に余裕があれば、1日コースを試してみたいです。
I was extremely satisfied with the VIP treatment. I thought it was worth the price. The front row seats are reserved at every show. The guide was dedicated and easy to understand. We also had front and center seats for the show. The return bus had reserved seats as well. I was satisfied all around. I especially recommend it for those with elderly individuals.
とにかくVIP待遇で大満足です。この値段をだしても、いいと思いました。どこのショーも一番前の席がキープされています。ガイドさんは、専属で説明も聞きやすいです。ショーも一番前の中央に席がキープされていました。帰りのバスも、席がキープしてありました。どこをとっても満足です。特に、お年寄りの方がいる場合、お勧めです。
The meals are buffet style, but the taste is quite delicious. The show is also worth seeing. However, I arrived late and had trouble finding the venue since it was in a hard-to-locate area. The Hilton is very large, so it would be nice to have a map attached.
食事は、ビッフェスタイルですが、味はかなり美味しいです。ショーも見ごたえがあります。ただ、集合時間に遅れて行ってしまったので、会場がわかりずらい所で探すのが苦労しました。ヒルトンは、とても広いので案内図が添付されているといいですね。
We had an absolutely terrific time. The staff was great!
My friend and I booked the VIP evening which included a 3 course meal. The food was beautifully presented and delivered by a friendly waitress, each course, although not necessarily to our taste, was very good, especially the dessert, the chef even came out afterwood to ask if everything had been satisfactory. The entertainment was excellent and had everyone singing along to the old favorites.
One criticism would be that having 2 Elvis performers was a little too much, the first Elvis (younger) was great, the second, although good was not as good.
Overall a great night which will not be forgotton.
Had a really fun time in a beautiful setting. The show was extremely well done and the food was excellent.
This was our first Luau and we are confident in saying that it is quite possibly the best Luau you could attend. It was very authentic and Chief Seilu put on a great show from the dancing to music to his corky comedy. The activities before the Luau and the show itself are a perfect experience for anyone visiting Oahu.
I went to Hawaii for the first time and chose the tour at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and I was very satisfied. We spent the whole day from visiting the villages to the dinner show, and it was a fascinating and valuable experience to learn about the history and culture of the six villages of Hawaii. Also, the staff who provided the Japanese guidance were very helpful. They considered the time and guided us well, allowing us to have a wonderful time without any wasted moments. I definitely recommend it to anyone going to Hawaii.
初めてHawaiiに行きポリネシア文化センターのツアーを選び大満足させていただました。
私たちは、村の見学からディナーショーまで1日過ごしましたが、Hawaii6つの村の歴史や文化に触れることができ大変興味深く貴重な体験ができました。
又、日本語案内して下さったスタッフの対応も良かったです。時間を考えて案内して下さった事もあり無駄のないステキな時間を過ごす事ができました。
ぜひ、Hawaiiに行くかたにはオススメです。
I participated in a dinner and show tour. The food was quite delicious, and the show was impressive.
ディナーとショーのツアーに参加しました。
ご飯がなかなかおいしかったし、ショーも迫力があってよかった。
I had heard that the Kona area has little rain, but it seems this year has been quite rainy, and the day we attended the luau show was a disaster (crying).
First, we checked in at the luau desk in the hotel. It was popular, so there was a line, but it was completed smoothly. However, when we went out to the beach, there was a long line. The host was speaking amusingly, but those in the back couldn't hear at all. After entering, I purchased a women's dendrobium lei for $6 and a men's kukui lei for $5. We took a commemorative photo here, but due to the chaos from the heavy rain afterward, photos were not available for purchase anywhere.
We were seated at a table with Americans, greeting and shaking hands. Drinks were free, but since there was only one lady serving, there was another long line. The meal included poi and about three types of meat. The taste was American-style, which I liked.
Just as the meal began, it started to rain... what began as a light drizzle quickly turned into a decent downpour, and everyone was given bath towels to cover their heads. The tablecloth, the trays with food, and everything got soaked from the rain. The drinks were diluted by the rainwater.
Originally, there were supposed to be various activities before the meal, but as the rain intensified, everything was cleared away in about 15 minutes. We couldn't participate in anything. There was no whole roasted pig either. The main show ended up being super fast-paced and finished in no time (laughs). It was supposed to end after 8 PM, but surprisingly, it wrapped up by 6:30 PM, and the band, food, and audience all cleared out immediately.
Despite this disappointing experience, only a few people left their seats, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves to some extent until the end. I had high expectations based on good reviews, and since it was my first day on the Big Island, I was really looking forward to it, but it ended up being a letdown. I'm unsure if I would want to see it again next time.
コナ地区は雨が少ないと聞いていたが、今年は雨が多いらしく、私達がこのルアウショーに参加した日はさんざんでした(泣)
まずホテル内のルアウデスクでチェックイン。やはり人気で並んでましたがこれは簡単スムーズに完了。
しかしビーチに出てみると長蛇の列。司会進行役が面白おかしく喋っていますが、後方には全く聞こえず。
入場してから女性用デンファレレイを$6で購入、男性用のククイレイは$5。ここで記念写真を撮りますが、この後の大雨のバタバタで写真販売はどこでもされておらず買えず仕舞。
通された席はアメリカの方たちと同じテーブルで、挨拶したり握手したり。
ドリンクはフリーですが、おばちゃん一人で対応しているのでこれまた長蛇の列。食事はポイなどもあり、お肉の種類も3種類ほどありました。味もアメリカンな味で私は好きです。
さて食事が始まってすぐに雨が,,,小雨だったの束の間、そこそこの雨が降り出し、全員にバスタオルが配られ皆が頭からすっぽり白いタオルをずっとかぶってました。テーブルクロスも食事の入ったトレーも料理も全部雨でぐしょぐしょ。グラスのお酒は雨で薄まって水になってました。
本来なら食事前に色んなアクティビティがあったようですが、雨が強くなってどれも15分ほどで撤収。何も参加できず。豚の丸焼きもありませんでした。
肝心のショーも超早送りであれよあれよという間に終わって(笑)20時過ぎ終了予定がなんと18時半には終わって、バンドも料理も観客も即撤収。
そんな散々な内容でしたが、席を立つ人は数名だけで、みんな最後までそれなりに楽しんでいました。
口コミも良く、初ハワイ島初日だったので期待していましたが、残念な結果に終わってしまいました。次回もう一回観るかは悩むなー
We sincerely apologize for the lack of accurate judgment and communication regarding the response during rainy weather. The decision on how to proceed is made by the banquet manager based on the weather conditions on the day. If the luau show is shortened due to rain, please check with nearby staff about the measures that will be taken. We may also suggest rescheduling options. Our staff will do their utmost to ensure you have an enjoyable experience, and we hope you will consider participating again in the future.
この度は、雨天時の判断、対応案内が的確にされておらず申し訳ございませんでした。
当日の天候を確認し、バンケット・マネージャーの判断で対応を決定いたしております。雨天によりルアウショーが短縮となってしまった場合は、お近くのスタッフへどのような対応が取られるのかご確認ください。日程変更などご提案させていただく場合もございます。お客様にお楽しみいただけるようスタッフ一同努めて参りますので、またの機会での参加をご検討いただけましたら幸いです。
I think it's been about ten years.
There was a different kind of excitement compared to my memories from the past.
The seats for the show were in the third row from the front, which was very good.
多分十年ぶりくらいだと思います。
昔のイメージとはまた違う感動がありました。
ショーの席も前から3列目でとてもよかったです。
Departing from Waikiki on a yacht was fantastic! We went quite far out to sea. It was relaxing to enjoy drinks while watching the sunset, and the view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the ocean was really great. I didn't get seasick, and I enjoyed four glasses of wine and cocktails, which made for a wonderful experience. We did various activities, but this was the most memorable and I highly recommend it.
ヨットでワイキキを出発!
結構沖まで出ました。
サンセットまでお酒を飲みながらのんびりできるし
海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチは
かなり良かったです。
船も酔わないしワインとカクテルを4杯のんで
かなり満喫しました。
いろいろアクティビティしましたが、一番印象深くオススメです。
We were excited to enjoy a traditional Hawaiian show with the family. As soon as we entered the venue, we were greeted with leis, creating an amazing atmosphere! The meal was served in a buffet style, and while the menu was very American, it was definitely satisfying! The fire dance was the most impressive part of the show. Since we visited in December, it was a bit chilly at night, so a light jacket is a must! I think this is a place everyone should visit at least once when in Hawaii!
家族でハワイ伝統のショーを見れるとあって、うきうきしながらの食事でした。
会場に入ると、さっそくレイをかけてもらえて、雰囲気抜群です!!食事は、順番にバイキングへ案内されます。
ザ・アメリカンな内容ですが、食べごたえ抜群!!
ショーはファイヤーダンスが一番印象的でした☆
12月参加だったので、夜が肌寒く、羽織ものは必須です!
ハワイに行ったら、一回は訪れてみるべきだと思います!
I always go to the shows at the Polynesian Cultural Center and leave feeling moved, but this time I didn't want to travel far, yet I still wanted to see a show, so I participated for the first time.
First, I thought I would meet Alan, the staff member, at the meeting point, but before I knew it, we were taking photos and lining up all the way to the rooftop. The wait time was long, so I wondered if I should have gone a little later.
The food was okay in taste, but the variety was quite similar, and I didn't feel full. There wasn't much time to eat either.
However, the dance was amazing, and the fire dance was truly spectacular. It was wonderful. I think it's worth it just to see the dancers! The dancers were cool, and the women were beautiful! My ten-year-old child also enjoyed it.
Regarding the meeting point, I think a little more explanation would help first-time visitors feel more at ease.
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターでのショーにいつも行き、感動して帰りますが、今回は遠くまで行きたくなく、でも、ショーは見たいということで、初めて参加しました。
まず、集合場所で、アランスタッフと会えるのかと思っていたら、あれよあれよというままに、写真や行列で屋上まで。
待ち時間が長かったので、もう少しあとに行けばよかったかな?
料理は味はまあまあですが、種類が似たようなものばかりで、おなかいっぱいにはなりませんでした。食べる時間もあまりなかったです。
でもダンスは最高で、やはりファイヤーダンスは圧巻です。素晴らしかったです。ダンスを見るだけなら、十分だと思います。ダンサーもかっこいい!女性もきれい!
十歳の子供も楽しんでいました。
集合の点については もう少し説明があると初めての方も安心すると思います。
Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.
