Hawaii
The whole roasted pig was delicious.
豚の丸焼きはおいしかった。
The Maui Sunset Luau at the Maui Price Makena Resort was outstanding. The food the delicious and the atmosphere most entertaining. We enjoyed it very much!
To make my boyfriend's first visit to Hawaii extra special I ordered a lei greeting for him at the airport departure gate. He was so surprised and thankful. The "wahine" that greeted us was very personable and offered assistance. She was on time and the sign she held was easily visible for us to see. I would definitely recommend this service to my fellow friends and family. Mahalo Honolulu Lei Greetings!
I was not happy about the start and end time of the experience. The entire event was over by 8pm, and it was barely dark. The food and the drinks were as expected... good. The performers were very good, but the show lacked the level of audience involvement that I've seen at other events.
I participated for the first time with a friend. Our guide, Steve, was very good at Japanese and had a great sense of humor, making our tour around the park enjoyable!
The night show was especially impressive and breathtaking. I also learned that each island in Polynesia has its own unique greetings and dances. It became a really fun memory! I even want to learn Tahitian dance. I definitely recommend going at least once! Talofa!
友達と2人で初参加しました。ガイドのスティーブ君は日本語がとても上手でユーモアもあって楽しく園内を回る事が出来ました!! とくに夜のショーは凄い迫力で圧巻されました。 ポリネシアにはそれぞれの島で独自の挨拶とダンスがある事も知れたし。すごく楽しい思い出になりました~!! タヒチアンダンス習いたい位です。 一度は是非行く事をおススメします(*^_^*) タロファ!(^^)!
This has been our third luau. We have been to a luau in Kona and the Old Lahaina Luau. This year my family and I decided to attend the luau at the Polynesian center since we had heard so much of it. Unfortunately, we were not impressed and actually disappointed. We were treated better at the other two luau's, such as free alcohol drinks and hospitality overall. Your dinner was good, and the waitress attended us well. We were disappoin- ted with the show. I felt I was watching a Las Vegas show and not a cultural, narrative, Polynesian history show. My family and I love to see the grass skirt dances and you had very little of it. We also did not like the auditorium ambiance and everyone running to get ice cream.
Our captain was hilarious, the view was spectacular, the drinks were fantastic...you must do this! We made some new friends on the cruise who are locals, I told them I hadn't expected to meet and locals since I thought it was more of a tourist activity they said it's the best value for your money on Oahu! It was so much fun! A tip: bring along your camera, a few ones to tip the bar tender and $5 to purchase the "shaker" (which is optional). And for the ladies... YES! there is a potty on board!
It was a very nice greeting for my daughter and I Thank you!
This place is beautiful.
The Japanese staff provided polite guidance, which was very good. However, being outside from around 2 PM to 6 PM was quite hot and exhausting. The dinner was very delicious. Next time, I would like to visit just for the dinner and the show.
日本人スタッフが丁寧に案内してくれ
とてもよかったです。しかし14時ごろから18時まで
ずっと外にいるため、かなり暑くばて気味でした。
デイナーはとてもおいしいです。
次回はデイナーとショーのみでおとずれたいです。
Great entertainment. The food was very good- better than I had expected. Make sure you try the ono!
Highly recommend, a great way to start your trip and surprise loved ones!
The lei greeting was a nice suprise for my friend. The lei was fresh orchids and it was beautiful.The lady who gave us the lei was not dressed Hawai'ian, and she put the lei around the neck. Latter we were stopped on the street and a local resident moved the lei's so they rested on our shoulder(this is the way it should be and the way it looks nice). I would like to have the presenter of the lei dressed at least in colorful Hawai'ian cloths and the lei put on us the right way. The lady was non-the-less very helpful and did guide us to the front of the airport where the limo was to pick us up. Thank you "Hawaii Activities".
This is my fourth visit, and my husband’s second to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Here, you can experience the "real Hawaii." The interactions with the audience during the show are the same, so even though I know what to expect, I find myself laughing as if it’s my first time. Above all, the highlight is the night show. The scale, the quality of the dancing—it's mesmerizing. Also, the level of the fire dance performance... I plan to go again.
私は、4度目。夫は、2度目のポリネシア文化センター です。
ここにきたら、”本当のハワイ”を体験できます。
お客さまと、ショーのやりとりも同じものなので、わかっていてもまた、初めてのように笑ってしまいます。
なんといっても、圧巻は、ナイトショーです。その規模、ダンスの完成度、見とれてしまいます。また、ファイアーダンスのパフォーマンスの高さ・・・また行くつもりです。
My husband and I went to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We truly enjoyed the food and entertainment. I would suggest this activity to everyone.. My only comment is that we were not recognized as the others were for celebrating a special event.
I totally recommend this lei greeting for first-timers to Hawaii if you are not being met by anyone. Your first visit and the spirit of Aloha begins with the lei greeting. Hawaii begins and continues with Aloha and love, even after your trip is over.
We found the experience a total refreshment. From the loading on the ship to the disembarking, the personal attention to our needs was delightful. We found the food to be excellent. The only down side we found was their taste in music, but to each his/her own.
We found the Vow Renewal part not as exciting as anticipated but well worth the expense.
This was quite an experience of seeing how life in the islands would have been like. It is quite different than life today.
It was a dance show and fire dance performed by Polynesian people. There was a person cracking coconuts, and between the shows, the host introduced the upcoming show, but since I don't understand English, it was all gibberish to me. However, I was able to enjoy the show itself regardless of the language barrier. As for the food, my impression was, "Is this all there is?" By the way, the day we saw it was sunny, so it was outdoors, but it seems that the next day it was rainy and held indoors. I wonder if they can't do the fire dance indoors?
ポリネシアンの人たちが繰り広げるダンスショーやファイアーダンスでした。ココナッツ割の人とショーとショーの間これからやるショーの紹介を司会の人がしてくれていたみたいなんですが、英語がわからない私には、チンプンカンプンでした。ショー自体は英語がわからなくても関係なく楽しめました。ただし、料理は「こんなもんかな?」という感想です。ちなみに、私達が見た日は晴れていたので屋外でしたが、翌日は雨で屋内でやってたみたいです。ファイアーダンスは屋内だと出来ないような??
We loved it!
We went on the sunset cruise. Even though the sky overcast and the waters were choppy for part of the trip, we still had an amazing time!
Food was average but yummy, served buffet style: chicken wraps, pasta salad, spring rolls, cookies.
Great, friendly, helpful crew. Good middle-ground between a fancy dinner cruise and simple booze cruise. This is the only catamaran cruise I found that actually offers food...and for about the same price as the others that only offer alcohol.
Would definitely recommend!
I decided to take a trip to hawaii and include this lovely romantic cruise ship for my boyfriend's 30th birthday.If was very intimate and romantic. We absolutely loved the experience and the staff. Kalani and Joe were such a joy. I would strongly recommend the 5 star honolulu dinner cruise to any couple celebrating a special or intimate event.
Awesome, we are from New Zealand and the Horizons show certainly made us proud to be part of Polynesia
I participated with a female friend. Inside the park, there is one guide for about ten people in a group. Our guide was a 23-year-old named Steve who spoke fluent Japanese. I was surprised to hear that 80% of the employees at the Polynesian Cultural Center are students from the nearby university. The guide was excellent, and the dancers were truly professional!
In the Hawaiian village, we also got to experience hula dancing. The show after dinner was absolutely amazing! We were seated in the third row from the front, right in the center of the stage! They showcased not only hula dancing but also dances from various countries. I especially loved the Tahitian dance. The girls' hip movements were truly beautiful. The audience was also incredibly excited about the fire dance! It was just amazing!
I highly recommend going at least once if you visit Hawaii. Also, I heard that the dancers from here recently came to Japan and performed in Odaiba.
女友達と2人で参加しました。園内では10人ほどのグループに1人のガイドさんがついて案内してくれます。私たちのガイドさんは、日本語ペラペラの23歳スティーブ君でした。ポリネシアカルチャーセンターの従業員は8割は隣接している大学の学生さんだそうです。それを聞いてびっくりなほど、ガイドも上手だし、ダンサーも本当にプロです!!
ハワイ村ではフラダンス体験もさせてもらいました。
ディナー後のショーはマジで最高!!!私たちは、ステージど真ん中、前から3列目の席でした!!フラダンスだけではなくて、各国のダンスを見せてくれます。特に私はタヒチアンダンスが大好きでした。女の子の腰つきは本当美しかったです。あと客席が大興奮だったのはファイアーダンス!とにかくすごい!
ハワイに行ったら絶対一度は行く事をオススメします。あと、この前ここのダンサーさんたちが来日してお台場でやってたそうですよ。
We incredibly enjoyed this Luau! I would recommend it to everyone. The train ride and walk through the garden set the scene for a beautiful evening.
I participated in this as a way to create memories with a friend who is leaving Hawaii, and it was a pleasant sailing experience with great weather.
The staff was very accommodating, and the snacks provided were delicious, which made me very satisfied.
Above all, as a woman, what made me happiest was that the restrooms were clean! This is definitely a high point.
I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to relax and fully enjoy Hawaii!
ハワイを去ってしまう友達と一緒に
思い出作りとして参加したのですが、
お天気もよく、気持ちのいいセーリングでした。
スタッフの対応もよく、用意してある
スナックもおいしくて、大満足でした。
何より女性として一番うれしいのは、
おトイレがキレイだということ♪
ここはかなりポイントが高いです。
リラックスしつつ、ハワイを満喫したい、と言う人にはぜひオススメです(・∀・)ノ
The Oahu Dinner Sunset Cruise was very nice; the service was great and the food was excellent.
I had returned after twenty five years and the Center was as good as ever! My traveling companion was visiting for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the day, luau and show. A great day recommended for all visitors to the island of Oahu.
The luau food was excellent, best we experienced in the Islands. The program fell short of our expectations. We have seen better in other venues.
This was a great first impression after travelling so long. The greeters were full of Aloha. They were right outside our arrival gate. Sign was just as we requested & the smiles were even better.
Thank you.
