Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

A Must See

Reviewed by: Gary

I have booked the “Polynesian Cultural Center – Full Day Ambassador Package” with Hawaii Activities many times. I have always found their voucher instructions to be concise and accurate. I particularly appreciate the fact that Hawaii Activities will leave a e-mail or hotel voicemail message for you reminding you of your upcoming activity and any necessary updated information.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a MUST SEE when visiting the Islands! It is an amazing full day of learning the culture of the people who established the Islands. Each Village that you will visit will provide you with a description of their creation and demonstrate their unique culture through dance, song, and demonstrations. The interesting thing about this day is that nearly every individual who is working at the Center is a full-time student at BYU of Hawaii which is located next door. The money raised from the admission fee to the Center funds the scholarship program of the University which su

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Shark Encounter

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Staff were a crack up and made the whole trip full of laughs. From the moment we got out on the boat we saw dolphins and whales so it was a bonus. Sharks appeared right away when you travel a bit further out so it was good there was no waiting around or searching like other tours. The experience was amazing. The staff kept the nature of the sharks a mystery untill you finish your turn. Only then do they tell you that the sharks are complete pussy cats and have never attacked anyone. This added to the adventure and adrenalin rush of the experience. Inside the cage you see LOTS of LARGE sharks. We had 6 sharks surrounding us. Highly recommended!

Dont miss "HA-the Breath of Life"-this presentation is showing all the different costumes and dances of the 5 different tribes inside the Polynesian Culture Center-is a very nice introduction to their culture all concentrated in a 90 minute presentation. Staffs were kind and frendly. However, I would not recommend the buffet- food is not worth the price...

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Awesome tour!

Reviewed by: Kathy Doucette

This tour was fantastic and was the second time we had taken it. The first time was five years ago and we took it again this time with a friend. She thought we would be bored but not at all as we learned even more about the island. Our driver grew up on the island and was able to tell us stories going back generations. This tour is a must see for anyone visiting the island! Aloha!

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

At least once in a lifetime. 一生に一回は

Reviewed by: Aya

It was a valuable experience that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. It was really exciting. Whether I want to do it again is another story, but it was a wonderful experience.

The cost was a bit high due to various tips and fees, so there was a slight gap in expectations, but I guess it can't be helped.

The instructor was nice, and I'm glad I returned safely.

一生のうちで一度は体験した方がいい、貴重な体験でした。
すごくエキサイティングです。
もう一回やりたいかどうかは別ですが、素敵な体験でした。

料金は、チップがもろもろかかるので、何だかんだで高くなり若干ギャップはありましたが、まあ仕方ないかというかんじです。

インストラクターはいい方で、ぶじかえれてよかったです。

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

Good tour to join for 1 full day

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Overall the tour was very good with visits to many points of interest around Honolulu in the morning and then tour the PCC in the afternoon. Dinner was quite nice and the "breath of life" show as wonderful!

However, we wish that the driver would let us know that there would not be any time for lunch once inside the PCC as the activities inside the PCC would be jam packed. The bus driver should gave us 15 to 30 more minutes inside the Dole Plantation Center so that we could get a light lunch before we head off to the PCC.

Reviewed by: SM

Don't get me wrong, we had a wonderful time at PCC however our guide kept leaving us behind, she moved so quickly thru the crowds that my husband had a hard time keeping up, pushing me in a wheelchair. She would just go on without us. We did not get to experience everything we paid for, the food was medicore, our guide could have cared less but the parade of floats was amazing and the HA breath of life show was an experience of a lifetime.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Great Horses!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I had a great time at Hawaii Polo ride! I've been on a horse before at a different commercial ranch, so I wasn't expecting much. Usually the horses are pretty worn down, tired and boring. Oh boy, this wasn't the case at all. All the horses at Hawaii Polo Club are well trained professional polo horses, so they are young, strong, muscular and ready to trot. They are just gorgeous to look at!

Even the guide from Argentine was a professional polo player/trainer, so he knew all about the horses. (I didn't know that Argentine was the capital of polo!) He explained to us what to do and what not to do with the horse. I was a bit nervous first since the horse was a professional polo horse, and you know what they say about how the horse can feel your fear! But the guide made me feel relaxed, and I definitely enjoy the ride on the beautiful beach on North Shore.

This is highly recommended! Very romantic for couples for sure.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Highly Recommended

Reviewed by: Sam

Hawaii Shark Adventure was one of my top activity during a 9 day Hawaiin vacation.activity. It does not beat sex; but I ski double black diamond runs in Colorad and Utah with over a foot of fresh powder and the Shark Adventure rivals that feeling of exhilaration and adventure. A short 15 minute boat ride from the Harbor to the location and then 20 minutes inside the shark cage. I counted over 9 Galapagos sharks swimming around (and under) the cage. Great photo oppurtunities (I got several great shots of just sharks under the water as well as looking at them from the boat). I would recommend this activity to my friends, family, and anyone in good health. My only only advise is for better viewing and photo opps; you need to take a deep breath and go to the bottom of the cage to avoid getting bumped and elbowed by the other guests (not to mention their hands of elbows getting into your photos).

Reviewed by: Nat C

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

Do not do this first

Reviewed by: Roy C.

We took the tour on the first day after arriving and it was too much too soon. I am sure we would have enjoyed it more had we been rested but we were worn out.

The tour does go to all of the spots but you get very little time at any of them and the stop at the Dole Plantation is not long enough to do much of anything.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

You'd be Insane NOT to do it!

Reviewed by: Jennifer Alvarez

The Hi-light of our trip. The crew was AWESOME. They were very informative as well as entertaining. Even though we were in the ocean with a lot of sharks we still felt completely safe. This is the closest you can come face to face with nature w/o fearing for your life (well, almost - it is a little scary at first). The sharks are amazing animals. Can't put into words what its like to look a shark in the eye. You have to see it for yourself. We were in the cage for about 20-30 minutes, but it seemed like an hour and there was plenty of room. If you tend to get sea sick just take a pill and do it anyway. You won't regret it. Definately get the DVD, its about $65 and worth every penny. I'm pretty cheap myself, but knew I couldn't pass the DVD up. Totally worth it. Just DO IT and don't forget your underwater cameras.

You should definitely try it at least once in your life. 人生一度はやっておきたい

Reviewed by: ひまわり

I approached this with the determination to risk my life. That said, I wasn't scared at all, so anyone can take on the challenge. When I fell, it was more painful for my ears than it felt good. It might be a good idea to practice equalizing your ears...

The view during the dive was amazing, but I was really moved by the scenery I saw while ascending in the airplane (we flew with the door open).

Since it had rained the day before, it seemed there were a lot of participants, and the waiting time was long, which made others tired. However, I enjoyed taking pictures of various flowers and the parachutes coming down while I waited, so it wasn't a problem for me.

The DVD and photos cost $200 if you order both, but since a dedicated photographer is included, I thought it was a reasonable price despite being high. It has become a great memory.

命を捨てる覚悟で臨んできました。といっても別に全然怖くはないので誰でもチャレンジできます。
落ちるときは、気持ちいいよりも耳が痛かったです。耳抜きの練習をしておいたほうがいいかも。。。
ダイブ中の眺めも最高ですが、飛行機で上昇していくときに見える景色に感動しました(ドア開けたまま飛んでます)
前日が雨だったため、参加人数が多かったらしく、待ち時間が長くてほかの人はくたびれてましたが、私は待ってる間、いろんな花や降りてくるパラシュートの写真を撮って楽しんでいたので苦になりませんでした。
DVDと写真は両方たのむと200ドルかかりますが、専属カメラマンが付くので、高いですけど妥当な値段だと思って撮ってもらいました。いい思い出になっています。

My butt hurts. お尻痛い

Reviewed by: ハワイ好き

I participated in the 2-hour course. It was definitely nice to be able to see the filming locations of the movie while riding a horse, but after a while, my backside started to hurt, and it became tough from the middle of the ride. However, it was a satisfying activity.

As a side note, the stalls selling drinks and other items close when the activity ends, so if you want to buy something, I recommend taking care of that before the activity starts.

2時間コースに参加してきました。確かに、映画のロケ地を馬に乗りながら、見学できるのはよかったですが、ちょっと2時間だとお尻が痛くなって、中盤からはきつかったです。。。
でも、満足できるアクティビティーでした。
後補足としては、アクティビティが終わる時間は、ドリンクなどを販売している売店はしまってしまうので、何か買いたい場合には、アクティビティの前に済ませることをお勧めします。

At an altitude of 4,000 meters... falling as if from above Mount Fuji.

For the first few seconds, there's a feeling similar to a roller coaster, but once you get used to it, you start to enjoy the free fall time a bit more.

Hmm, it's a feeling like nothing you've experienced before, and you definitely won't be disappointed.

By the way, I highly recommend getting the DVD and photos! You can enjoy them even after returning home!

上空4,000M…
富士山より上から落ちるように落下。
最初の何秒間かは、ジェットコースターのようなウッツッツとくる感じがあるものの、慣れてからは、少し余裕が出てきてフリーホールの時間が楽しめます。
うーん、やってみないとわからない今までにない感じでしたが、絶対満足します。
ちなみにDVD、写真はおすすめですよ!
帰国後にも楽しめますし!

I was impressed by the sea and the sharks! 海と鮫に感激!

Three miles offshore. The depth is 40 to 50 meters!!
Looking down from the stopped boat, I saw a dark shadow...
Could it be already? As I strained my eyes and looked around again, I spotted not just one or two, but about ten sharks visible from the surface...
It was more awe-inspiring than scary.
I often saw the dorsal fins breaking the surface on TV, and it was exactly the same scene.
Now, into the cage!
I was astonished by the deep blue sea and the sharks.
I think I had a rare experience. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

停止した船から下を除くと黒い影が…
まさかすでに?と目を凝らして再度辺りを見渡すと1匹、2匹ではなく、10匹くらいの鮫を海上から黙認。。。
怖いよりスゴイの感激でした。
よく背びれを海面に出す姿をTVなどで拝見していましたが、まさに同じ光景です。
いざ、おりの中へ!
真っ青な海と鮫に唖然でした。
レアな体験ができたと思います。少し高いですが、価値はありますよ。

If you're feeling a bit scared and hesitant, you should definitely take the plunge!

It's an incredibly moving experience that words can't express!

I was nervous at the moment of jumping out of the Cessna, but the beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see is something only those who dive can truly understand.

There wasn't much explanation, but the guide who dove with us was kind, so I didn't feel anxious.

As for the photos... they were a bit pricey, and I kind of regret not ordering them.

We headed out to the shark cage at 7:30 am and sadly no sharks. The crew was as disappointed as we were and let us know that if we didn't have a shark experience they would reschedule us or refund our money. Lucky for us there was a cancellation on a boat later that morning - so we headed out again - and we were not disappointed. 5 - 6 sharks circled the cage the entire time we were on the water. Nothing like looking a shark in the eye! Fabulous time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to have an up close and personal experience with a shark(s).
