All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

What a fun time for everyone! The ability to learn more of the Island Traditions as well as birthday's, anniversaries, just married, or a salute to those in the armed forces it is something the whole family will enjoy.
If you leave hungry it will be your own fault!

Last time, I participated in two activities through your company in Bali and was very satisfied, so this time I joined again in Oahu.
I had been to Hawaii many times for work, so I thought, "What’s the point of a tour?" However, my wife said she wanted to participate in one, so we chose this tour.
Since my wife, who has no interest in marine sports or golf, was mainly focused on shopping, I was looking for a tour that felt "Hawaiian," and this was perfect.
Also, I am thinking of going to Phuket in Thailand or Bali again during the New Year holidays, so I would definitely like to apply for your tours.

前回は「バリ島」にて、貴社を通して２つのｱｸﾃｨﾋﾞﾃｨに参加させて頂き、大変に満足したので、今回も「オアフ島」にて再度参加させて頂きました。
私自身はハワイは仕事で何度も行っていたので「ツアー何て…」と思っていましたが、妻が「一つは参加したい」と言うので、このツアーを選びました。
ﾏﾘﾝｽﾎﾟｰﾂもｺﾞﾙﾌにも興味の無い妻は、もっぱらｼｮｯﾋﾟﾝｸﾞだけでしたので、何か「ﾊﾜｲ」らしいツアーと考えていたので、ピッタリでした。
また、年末年始にはタイのプーケットか、再度バリにでも行こうと思っておりますので、是非、貴社のツアーを申し込みたいと考えております。

My first trip to Hawaii. I wanted to learn about Polynesian culture, which is the root of Hawaiian culture, so I participated in the "All-Day Deluxe" monitor tour on October 4th.

During the one-and-a-half-hour journey, I was entertained by the wonderful talk of Miyoko, also known as "Miyochan," and we arrived at our destination without getting bored. We took a break at the Coral Factory and enjoyed views of Kualoa Ranch and Chinaman's Hat from the bus.

After arriving at the PCC, we were divided into small groups, and the tour of the park began with a Japanese-speaking tour guide. In Hawaii, we got to taste poi and participate in hula lessons, and in Aotearoa, we struggled with poi balls and experienced tattoos, enjoying various activities in each village as a group. The show from Tonga and Samoa was particularly entertaining. In Tonga, three selected audience members did a great job with the large drum performance! The humorous delivery of the show created a wave of laughter throughout the venue. In Samoa, the villagers easily climbed palm trees, and the fire dance was thrilling. The fire master was a true entertainer! He taught us that "laughter is universal." Fa'afetai!!

Dinner was buffet-style, and I was able to eat to my heart's content. The roast beef was delicious☆

And then the much-anticipated "Horizon!" The night show that can only be seen here, which you can't miss if you come to PCC or Hawaii, was breathtaking with its powerful and majestic dances. It's hard to believe that everyone was a student. I seriously want to learn Tahitian dance now! I want to see it again!!

On a personal note, I accidentally left my camera at the restaurant, but the staff's quick response and warm smiles helped me get it back right away. It was a heartwarming experience. Thank you very much!

From the bus window on the way back to Honolulu, I saw a beautiful starry sky. I am grateful for the fulfilling day I had and to the PCC staff, as well as to everyone at Alan1 for providing such an opportunity. Mahalo!!!

I highly recommend it to everyone☆

初めてのハワイ旅行。今日のハワイ文化のルーツともなっているポリネシア文化を学びたく思い、10月4日に「昼から満喫、オールデイ・デラックス」のモニターツアーに参加しました。
片道１時間半の道中では日系の「みよちゃん」ことMiyokoさんの絶妙なtalkで退屈する事なく目的地へ。途中コーラルファクトリーにて休憩、クアロア牧場やチャイナマンズハットも車窓から楽しめました。

PCCに到着後、少人数グループに別れ、日本語が巧みなツアーガイドさんによる園内ツアーが始まります。
ハワイではポイの試食やフラの体験レッスン、アオテアロアではポイ・ボールに苦戦したり入れ墨を体験したりし、グループ全員で各村のアクティビティを楽しみました。特に面白かったのは、トンガとサモアのショー。トンガでは大きなドラム演奏に、選出された観客３名が大健闘！ユーモラスなショーの運びに会場一帯笑いの渦が巻き起こりました。サモアでは、ヒョイヒョイといとも簡単にヤシの木に登る村人や、手に汗握るファイアーダンスが印象的でした。火熾し名人の司会者は真のエンターテイナー！「笑いは万国共通なり」という事を教えてくれました。Fa'afetai!!

ディナーはビュッフェスタイルで、お腹いっぱい食べられました。ローストビーフ、美味しかったなぁ☆

そしてお待ちかねの「ホライズン！」。“ここでしか”、“ここに来なければ”観る事が出来ないあのナイトショーはPCCに来たからには、ハワイに来たからには観ずして帰れません。パワフル且つ勇壮なダンスはため息もので、全員が学生さんだとは信じ難いくらいです。私も本気でタヒチアンダンスを習いたくなりました！もう一度観たい！！

私事ですが、レストランにカメラを置き忘れてきてしまったのですが、スタッフの方々の迅速な対応と温かな笑顔ですぐに手元に戻りました。ほっこり心が温かくなった出来事です。ありがとうございました！

ホノルルに戻るバスの車窓からは綺麗な星空が見えました。充実した１日を過ごせた事に、そしてPCCスタッフの皆様、このような機会を提供して下さったAlan1の皆様にMahalo!!!

皆様も是非☆

It was nice to be greeted by a smiling face and fresh lei's after a 12 hour flight. Our greeter was very nice and took us to the baggage claim. However, we had another group that did not receive their greeting (not sure what company they booked it through) and they were disappointed.

We loved going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Our guide "Cousin Gumbo" was very personable and informative. The day started very nice but we did have rain showers. We didn't let that stop us from enjoying everything. We didn't get to go on the canoe ride because of the rain. Next time maybe we will be able to.
We did do fun activities and learned about the different islands and cultures. The luau was very nice and we enjoyed the different foods. The show was fantastic. We do plan to go again and visit area's of the center we didn't get to see. Would recommend for all ages.

This was a wonderful greeting for our sisters vacation to Kauai. Our greeter Leilani was wonderful. She met us at our gate in Honolulu with a cheery Aloha greeting and beautiful flower leis. She showed us the garden area and took pictures for us. She also escorted us to our connecting flight. This gave us a great start to a terrific Hawaiian vacation.
Thank you Leilani and Honolulu Lei Geetings.

Amazing service, food, music, ambiance ... the entire night was brilliant. My friends and I found this experience totally worth the money and we highly recommend it!

This was absolutely the best! The food was wonderful! They had demonstrations of several island traditions. The show was completely awe inspiring. The fire dancer was unbelievable. I would recommend this luau to everyone who visits Maui.

It's better to wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking quite a bit! I would have preferred to explore on my own rather than in a group! However, if you're in Hawaii, I think it's worth going at least once! It was a bit disappointing that there were many people taking photos with flash during the night show, even though it was said that flash photography was not allowed! But the buffet dinner was really delicious, and I was very satisfied☆

けっこう歩くので歩きやすいくつを履いたほうがいいですよ！！
団体行動よりも個人でまわりたかったです！
でもハワイに来たのなら一回ぐらいは行ってもいいと思いますよ！
夜のショーはシャッターなしと言われてるのにシャッターで写真を撮るマナーのいない人がたくさんいてちょっと残念でした！
でもバイキングのディナーはすごくおいしくてとても満足しました☆

The lei greeter that we got was really nice and treated us well. Even my wife (who I surprised with this) liked it.
She sent us to the shuttle that would take us to our rented car and answered any questions we wanted to ask. I would recommend this to anyone!

On October 7th, I participated in the deluxe tour. Thank you very much.

First, during the bus ride to the center, I was completely captivated by Gentaro's (read as Izutaro) masterful storytelling.

Next, the various experiences in the village felt like a return to childhood, and I had a lot of fun. However, the duration was long, and I was a bit tired.

The buffet meal was very delicious.

Finally, the show, which I was most looking forward to, had seats that were, as everyone mentioned in their experiences, in the center of the second row, which was the best spot. I thought, as expected of Alan1.net. Now, regarding the show itself, it was just as I had hoped—fast-paced and enjoyable without a dull moment. In particular, the fire performance by the Samoan performer at the end was powerful and truly amazing, giving me goosebumps.

Overall, it was very good.

This is unrelated to the tour, but I must admit that when I first applied, I had some anxiety. However, every time I sent persistent emails, I received prompt and sincere replies, which alleviated my concerns.

10月7日、モニターでデラックスツアーに参加させていただ
きました。ありがとうございました。

まず、センターまでのバスの車中、厳太郎（イズタロウさんと読みます）さんの巧みな話術に、すっかりはまってしまいました。

次に村での数々の体験ですが、童心に帰ったようで、とても
楽しかったです。ただ、時間が長く、少々疲れました。

食事のバイキングは、とてもおいしかったです。

最後に一番楽しみにしていたショーですが、席が、みなさんが体験談で書いてあるとおり、2列目の真ん中という最高のところでした。さすが、Alan1.netさんだなと思ました。　さて、肝心なショーですが、期待どおり、スピード感があり、退屈することなく、楽しめました。　特に、最後のサモアの方の、火の演技は、迫力があり、鳥肌が立つくらいすばらしかったです。

ということで、全体的にとてもよかったです。

これは、ツアーとは関係のない話ですが、はじめて申し込む時に正直申しまして、多少不安があったのですが、いろいろとしつこくメールをさせていただいたそのたびに、すぐに誠実なお返事をいただき、不安は吹き飛びました。

I made a reservation for the Twilight Deluxe starting in the evening. I wanted to see the dance up close, so it was the right choice to book the Twilight experience, even though it was a bit pricey (^^). I was able to sit in the third row, almost in the center, which was fantastic♪

Initially, I thought it would only feature Hawaiian dance, but I was pleasantly surprised to see various ethnic dances, including Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and New Zealand performances. The fire dance, in particular, is definitely worth seeing! The dancers added a comedic touch to their performance, which brought both laughter and surprise☆

During the intermission of the Twilight Deluxe show, there was an ice cream service (I heard that for other courses, it costs $5). True to American style, the portion was quite large (laughs). It was delicious, but we couldn't finish it all＾＾; For us Japanese, sharing one between two people was just right♪

夕方からのトワイライトデラックスを予約しました。
ダンスを近くで見たかったので高くてもトワイライトを予約して正解でした（＾＾）ほぼ真ん中の最前席から３列目に座る事ができました♪

当初はハワイアンダンスだけなのかな～と思っていたのですが、ハワイアンにタヒチアンにサモアとニュージーランドなど、さまざまな民族舞踊がみる事が出来て楽しかったです。特にファイアーダンスは一見の価値ありですよ♪ダンサーの方が途中コミカルにパフォーマンスされたので笑いあり驚きもありです☆

トワイライトデラックスにはショウの中休みにアイスクリームのサービスがありましたが（それ以外のコースだと５ドルで食べれるそうです）これがまたアメリカンらしく量が多い（笑）美味しかったのですが食べ切れませんでした＾＾；日本人の私たちには２人で１つがちょうど良いですね♪

Didn't get the name of our delivery girl, but after we received our lei, she helped us out by taking us directly to the busses that would take us to our airport.

I've since found that there are several other services like this, and dozens of shops near China Town, but in the end, I still felt this was the best value overall for what we received as a bonus; the assitance.

The entire event was fantastic. Grounds were beautiful and the staff was great! We really enjoyed the food and drinks. Would highly recommend.

I went to the Polynesian Cultural Center with the $7.77 campaign! It felt like a great deal for just $7.77. The deluxe meal had an all-you-can-eat crab option, and I thought it was quite tasty compared to other Hawaiian food! For the evening show, I was lucky to get a great seat right in the middle of the third row! I found the show to be quite entertaining. However, the daytime canoe show and having to stick together with everyone was a bit tiring, and I wished I could explore the park more freely. But the foreign guide was very earnest in trying to speak Japanese, which I found very likable. Overall, the food was better than I expected, but I think younger people might find it a bit boring. I would recommend it more for families than couples! I think the kids can learn a lot, which is great. On the bus ride back, I think you'll be so tired from walking that you'll sleep soundly! The buses returning to Waikiki all leave at the same time from the Polynesian Cultural Center, so if you're late for the meeting time, it could inconvenience everyone, and the later buses might not return until after midnight... So it's definitely best to stick to the meeting time!

7,77ドルキャンペーンでポリネシアン文化センターに行って来ました！
7,77ドルでいったとおもうとすごくお得でした。
食事のデラックスではかにも食べ放題ですしけっこう味もハワイのご飯の中ではイケテルと思いました！
夜のショーでは前から３列目の真ん中でかなりいい席を用意してもらってよかったです！
ショーもなかなか面白かったとおもいます。
しかし昼のカヌーショーやみんなで一緒に周らないといけないのはちょっとしんどくてもっと自由に園内を見て周りたかったです！
でも、ガイドの外国の方はがんばって日本語を話して一生懸命な姿でとても好感をもてました。
総評ではごはんはおもってたよりおいしかったのでよかったのですが若いひとにはちょっと退屈する感はあります。
カップルよりもファミリーにおすすめです！
子供達にはいろいろ学べてすごくいいと思います。
帰りのバスでは歩き疲れてぐっすり寝れるとおもいますよ！
帰りはいっせいにポリネシアン文化センターにあるバスがワイキキ方面にかえるので集合時間に遅れるとみんなにも迷惑かけるし遅くに出たバスの帰りが１２時をすぎてしまうらしいです・・・・
だから集合時間は必ず守ったほうがいいですよ！

The show was great and we enjoyed it very much. The rest of the experience was so-so. Our driver was 30 min. late and we were rushed into the park with most of the villages already closed for the day. The dinner was again rushed and we were seated during the end of the show which appeared to have been great. The little we saw of it was really funny. The food left a bit to be desired. But then we went to the Horizon show and it was awesome. I guess when you go to the half day show you're really just getting the great evening show. Next time I'll know to go to some other luau and go to the cultural center during the day to really see what's there. Feel like we missed a lot.

I had a great time experiencing the unique dances and lifestyles of various Polynesian cultures. The night show was a bit different from what I expected, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. There were powerful dances, funny moments, and it was beautiful!

From the afternoon to the night show, I got to ride in a canoe, learn hula dancing, and watch performances from different cultures—it was really fun.

We walked around quite a bit, but our guide made several stops for breaks, so we could take care of restroom needs and stay hydrated, which made it feel manageable.

I think it's worth going at least once. I did feel that the price was a bit high, though.

とても珍しいポリネシアの各民族の踊りや生活を見て体験できて、楽しかったです。
夜のショーは期待していたのとは少し違っていたのですが、充分楽しめました。迫力のあるダンスだったり、笑わせるところもあったり、きれいでした！
昼から夜のショーまでは、カヌーに乗ったり、フラダンスを教えてくれたり、各民族のショーをみたり、本当に楽しかたです。
結構歩き回るのですが、ガイドさんが途中で休憩を何回か取ってくれるので、トイレや水分補給はきちんとできるし、そんなにしんどいと感じないで過ごせました。
一度行ってみるのはいいかな。
値段はちょっと高いかなと思いました。

Loved the greeting and the cheerful attitude of the greeter. Was a perfect end to a long boring flight.

This was great. Food was great and the whole productive was very professional. They even had the performers meet at back for pictures you were so inclined. I did notice they did take some pictures before going - unsure how that was because it seemed to be for another tour group/company. Of course, you paid for these separately. I didn't inquire what the requirement for the pictures was - but perhaps if you notice such, may be you will. Many people were celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. It was a nice time and the music seemed to be continual even while you ate. A nice way to end a stay in Hawaii and it ended in good time so that you weren't up all night packing for the next day's start of the return to the mainland.

There were a group of 8 of us and we all had a fantastic time. Thank you for all the knowledge and laughter. We will be talking and most of all remembering this great experience for many moons to come! You added exactly "that special" something to my honeymoon:)

Wonderful atmosphere, Excellent food! We loved that everyone had fun doing their job!

Highly enjoyable and better than expected! I hope to return again someday for the fun and education!

I surprised my husband's first visit to Hawaii with a lei greeting . . . how can you go and not have a lei greeting anyway? They were right there when we arrived, escorted us to baggage claim and then contacted and escorted us to our shuttle which we had not expected. That was great since we were not sure where and how far we had to go to get our luggage, etc. I would highly recommend Hawaii Activities to everyone and would probably contact them again for my next visit.

Nice way to start your Hawaiian vacation

Hello, I participated in this course on September 27th. It was the day my husband and I arrived in Hawaii. Since the meeting time was 12:20 PM, I thought we would have plenty of time, but the shuttle bus from the airport took a while to arrive, and there were some briefings. After that, my husband and I ran to the hotel and arrived right at 12:20 PM, feeling like we barely made it. It was a close call, but if we had done it on a different day, there wouldn't have been any issues. We participated in the deluxe tour in the afternoon. Our shuttle guide was a university student named Izutaro. He was surprisingly mature and humorous for a part-time university student, and he talked non-stop until we realized we had arrived at our destination. We were able to enjoy the trip without getting bored. Once we entered the Polynesian Cultural Center, there were many plants, and I felt like I was in Hawaii. The guides were Mamoru and Eri, also university students who were bright and friendly. It felt like a place similar to Disneyland in Japan. The hula dance experience was also fun. I felt like I got to see many different countries. The buffet meal was delicious. The best part was the show, which was truly amazing, just as the reviews said. It was the most memorable dance show of our trip to Hawaii. During the show, they served ice cream, and it was definitely an amount that was impossible to finish. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

こんにちは９月２７日にこちらのコースに参加させて頂きました。私達夫婦が参加したのはハワイに到着した日でした。集合時間が１２時２０分だったので余裕で間に合うと思ったら空港から送迎バスもなかなか来ないし注意事項などの話もあってそのあと旦那と走ってホテルについたのが１２時２０分で生きた気がしませんでした。ぎりぎり間に合いましたが。到着日以外にすればもんだいはないです。私たちが参加したのは昼からデラックスです。送迎のガイドは大学生のイズ太郎さんでした。大学生のアルバイトとは思えないほどのしっかりしたユーモアのある人でずっとしゃべりぱなしで気がついたら目的地についてました。あきずに着くことができました。ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに入ると沢山の植物があってハワイに来たな～と感じました。ガイドはまもるさんとえりさんでした。こちらも大学生のアルバイトで明るくて良い方でした。日本でいうとディズニーランドみたいな所でした。フラダンス体験も楽しかったです。色んな国を沢山見れた気がしました。食事はバイキングでおいしかったです。一番良かったのショウでした。これは口コミ通り最高でした。今回のハワイで一番心に焼きつくダンスショウでした。ショウの間にアイスがでます。あれは絶対食べきれない量でした。楽しい思い出ありがとうございました。

The staff was very close by with the most beautiful leis I have ever seen. They smelled so wonderful and made us feel so special especially since it was our 1st time to hawaii as well as our Honeymoon!! WE LOVED IT!!

This luau was the best we have been to. We had a wonderful time , the food was delicious and the entertainment was fabulous. We will definatly tell our friends and family about it!

I participated in this event in Honolulu for the first time with my mother. To be honest, I was worried that it might be physically demanding for her since she is over 60 years old, and I wondered if it would be too child-oriented. However, once we participated, all those worries completely vanished as it turned out to be an activity that adults can enjoy as well. The guide spoke Japanese for our group, making the explanations easy to understand, and there were quite a few older participants as well. They were attentive, asking things like, "Isn't it hot?" so we felt comfortable participating regardless of our age. There were also interactive events where audience members from various countries were invited on stage to play drums together. Even though we didn't share a common language, everyone created a lively atmosphere, and we had so much fun that we were laughing until our stomachs hurt, even with attractions conducted only in English. We experienced hula dancing as a group and rode canoes around Polynesian countries, which was completely different from the typical activities of visiting pavilions filled with mere souvenirs in Japan. I highly recommend participating at least once. The final show was truly spectacular. There were fire dances and circus-like performances, as well as traditional hula dancing. In the grand finale, 120 performers appeared on stage in an orderly fashion, creating a majestic and impressive scene that moved me deeply. It was as emotionally impactful as a full-fledged musical. If you're reading this and feeling uncertain, please feel assured and definitely participate at least once. You won't regret it!

今回初ホノルルの母と参加しました。正直60歳を過ぎた母には「体力的にキツイのではないか？」とか「子供向けだったらどうしよう？｣とか心配しましたが、実際参加してみたところ、そんな心配は全く吹っ飛ぶような大人も楽しめるアクティビティーでした。ガイドさんは、日本人のグループには日本語が話せる人がつくので説明もよくわかるし、結構年配の人たちもたくさん参加しているので、｢暑くないですか？｣とかいろいろと気を配ってくれて、年齢に関係なく安心して参加できます。お客さん参加型のイベントもあり、観客の中からいろいろな国の人を舞台に上げて、一緒に太鼓をたたくのですが、言葉が通じて無くてもみんな雰囲気でその場を盛り上げてくれるので、英語だけのアトラクションでも、おなかをかかえて笑っちゃうほど楽しめました。グループみんなでフラダンスの体験をしたり、カヌーに乗ってポリネシアの国々を回ったり、日本にありがちな置物ばかりのパビリオンを回るようなアクティビティーとは全く違うものので、是非一度参加してみてください。そして最後のショーは、ほんとに圧巻でした。ファイヤーダンスやサーカスみたいな踊りがあったり、正統派フラダンスがあったり、最後のストーリー仕掛けのホライズンでは120人が舞台に整然と登場するので、勇壮で壮大な様には本当に感動しました。本格的なミュージカルと遜色ない感動をもらえます。今、迷いながら書き込みを読んでいる人は、安心して是非一度参加してみて下さい。絶対損はしないはずです！

This was my second visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and I had new discoveries that made it very enjoyable. The guide on the way there, despite being 70 years old, was very energetic and a great speaker, making the one-hour journey completely engaging. Once we arrived, I had a lot of fun experiencing various activities like riding a canoe, dancing the hula, and watching fire-making demonstrations. The meals were lavish and satisfying. The evening show was thrilling. I had a better seat than last time, and the hour and a half flew by. On the way back, I was completely exhausted and slept soundly on the bus, but I had a wonderful day overall.

ポリネシア文化センターに行くのは2回目でしたが、また新たな発見もあり、非常に楽しませてもらいました。
現地に向かう時のガイドさんも70歳という高齢ながらとても元気で話も上手で1時間の道のりも全く飽きなかったです。
現地についてからも、カヌーに乗ったり、フラを踊ったり、火おこしを見たりといろいろなことを体験できて本当に楽しかったです。
食事も豪勢で満足できました。
そして、夜のショーは迫力満点。前回より良い席で見れたこともあり、1時間半があっという間でした。
帰りは疲れきってバスの中でぐっすりでしたが、丸1日楽しく過ごせました。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I had a great time experiencing various Polynesian cultures. The night show was especially enjoyable, as I had an excellent seat, making it very exciting and entertaining.

はじめてのハワイでしたが、いろいろなポリネシアの文化に触れることができてとても楽しかったです。
特に夜のショーはすごく良い席で鑑賞できたのもあり、迫力満点で非常に面白かったです。
