It was very powerful and moving! I highly recommend it as a finale for your trip to Hawaii.
I signed up for the deluxe course early on. The difference between the deluxe and standard courses is the dining and the seating for the show. I definitely recommend the deluxe course!
The meal is served buffet-style, and even if you get tired of barbecue, the roast steak is really delicious. Also, the fried chicken tasted a lot like Kentucky Fried Chicken and was tasty.
The seating for the show is chosen randomly, but I was lucky enough to be in the second row from the front.
The show is composed of English and a local language that I couldn't quite understand, but you could sense what they were trying to express. The fire dance was very powerful, and even from the second row, I could feel the heat of the flames. The dancing was very synchronized, making it enjoyable to watch and listen to. I highly recommend it!
とても迫力があり、感動しました!ハワイ旅行のフィナーレにめちゃんこおすすめです。
私は早い時期にデラックスコースを申し込みました。デラックスコースとスタンダードコースの違いは、食事とショーの観客席になります。絶対デラックスコースの方がおすすめです!
食事はバイキング形式ですが、(バーベキューに飽きていても)ロースステーキがとても美味しいです。また、フライドチキンはケンタッキーみたいな味で美味しかったです。
ショーの席は勝手に選択されてしまいますが、運良く前から2列目でした。
ショーは英語と現地の訳のわからない言語で構成されていますが、感覚的に何を表現したいのかかがわかるものでした。また、ファイヤーダンスがとても迫力があり、前から2列目でもその火の熱さがわかりました。ダンスもとても揃っていて、見て聞いて楽しめるものです。めちゃんこおすすめです!

This time, I participated from noon. As soon as I arrived, the canoe show started, and I was already overwhelmed from that point. Is it held once a day? I think this show is a must-see.
After that, we toured each village while the guide explained things to us. The guide was a student, but he answered our questions accurately (though he did forget some things occasionally, which was funny), and it was very educational. The experiences that showcased the characteristics of the region were also enjoyable.
For the meal afterward, I chose the deluxe option, and I was satisfied. The banana ice cream was delicious. And finally, it was time for the show. We were in the second row, right in the middle, so the intensity was incredible, and the energy came through directly.
There was a proper storyline, and it was truly an impressive show.
今回はお昼から参加しました。着いてからすぐにカヌーショーが始まりましたが、すでにそこから圧倒されました。1日に1回なのでしょうか?このショーは見た方がいいと思います。
その後は、ガイドさんに説明されながら、それぞれの村を周ります。ガイドさんは学生さんだそうですが、聞いたことにも的確に答えてくれ(たまにド忘れしちゃったこともありましたが笑)、とても勉強になりました。地域の特徴が出ている体験も、楽しかったです。
その後のお食事は、デラックスにしたので満足でした。バナナアイスが美味しかった

I signed up for the standard plan because the 50th anniversary campaign price was a great deal. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but there were more varieties than I anticipated, and the portions were quite generous, so I was pretty satisfied. The show was undeniably moving. With a story-driven progression, there were various dances to see, and it was very impressive. Perhaps because it was a bit far from Waikiki, there weren't many Japanese people around, but the large theater was packed with an audience, which made me realize how popular it is.
50周年記念のキャンペーン料金がお得だったので、スタンダードプランで申し込みました。お料理には期待していませんでしたが、思っていたより種類も多く、量もしっかり用意してあったのでなかなか満足できました。ショーは文句なく感動です。ストーリー性をもった展開で、いろいろな踊りも見られて大迫力でした。ワイキキから少し遠いせいか、日本人の姿はそれほど多くなかったですが、大きな劇場は観客でいっぱいで人気があるのだなと感心しました。

For starters, the show Ha! Breath of Life is AMAZING! If nothing else, that is worth a visit.
Ok, so the Circle Island Tour - yeah, you circle (most of) the island and see some cool things (briefly), but you can get circle island tours from pretty much everyone and ended up with about 3 total after all of our activities there over our week. The biggest problem with this Circle Island Tour is that it takes TOO LONG! You're going to want ample time to do the tour, but not when that time cuts into your time at the cultural center.
We did the circle island tour and the ambassador package. By the time we finished the tour and go to the center, did all the ambassador check in crap, and got to start seeing the center, we had already lost at least 1.5 hours of the already short time available to visit the various cultures. The group tour and the guide does help you learn some cool things, but it also makes everything take longer. In the end, we went back a second day so that we could see all the things we missed the first day (maybe that's the point - more $$ from the visitors??).
I don't want to lead you to believe the center is poor. On the contrary, we very much enjoyed the center. The luau was meh. The show was GREAT! We just wouldn't recommend the circle island tour (as it was for us) or the ambassador package (unless you want to buy it for the good seats but ditch the tour guide in the park).
Definitely visit the park, definitely see the show. Consider ditching the tour guide in the park, consider doing the circle island tour with another company or on a different day, and if you see a luau anywhere else, consider skipping it here (it wasn't the best luau we attended).
Note, the 3 stars if for the package, not for the center on the whole. The center was great, we just weren't keen on the package we purchased.
Mahalo Brian for your wonderful feedback, very happy you were able to take advantage of another day; however sorry that the guide was not a benefit to you and your group. We will address these concerns with our team. Aloha oe!

The dance show was absolutely wonderful. Before the show, we had a buffet meal at a large dining hall and did some shopping at the stores in the park. After buying some Hawaiian-themed children's clothing, we headed to the show venue. Our seats were in the back, but we could see everything well and were impressed by the elaborate performances and the fire dancing. However, finding the car on the way back was difficult because the location was different from the initial explanation, and we couldn't find it in the light rain. We had to communicate the number to other drivers to get help.

I was told by an acquaintance that I should definitely go, but after reading the reviews, I found mixed opinions. I was unsure which group to choose, but I went with All Day Deluxe. A student studying at a nearby university guided us brightly and very kindly! It seems that most of the people working at the facility, including those who perform in the shows, are students, but everyone was really cheerful, energetic, and friendly! By choosing the afternoon plan, I was able to see various shows, and they were all incredibly fun! There are various opinions about the food, but I found it delicious! Those who signed up for Deluxe before the evening show were able to see behind the scenes, and I felt a level of professionalism that was hard to believe they were students!
The seating is arranged so that everyone can see from any spot. It seems that it rarely gets fully booked. Although I chose Deluxe, I made the reservation just two days in advance, so I ended up sitting towards the back. I recommend making an early reservation! Even for Standard, if you book early, you should be able to get a seat towards the front, which would make it easier to see!
Indeed, the price is somewhat high, but I heard that the money we pay goes towards scholarships for the working students, and since the afternoon shows are enjoyable, I recommend the afternoon plan for those who are going in the future!
知り合いから是非行ったほうがいいと言われていたのですが、口コミを読むと賛否両論。
どのグループにするか悩みましたがオールデイデラックスに。近くの大学で勉強してる子が明るくそしてとても親切にガイドをしてくれました!ショーに出る子達も含めて施設で働いてる人のほとんどが学生さんらしいのですが、皆さん本当に明るくて元気で親切でした!昼からのプランにすると色々なショーも見れるのですが、どれも凄くたのしかったです!ご飯も色々書かれていますが私には美味しく感じました!夜のショーの前にデラックスで申し込んだ人は舞台裏を見せて貰えるのですが、学生さんとは思えないくらいプロ意識を感じました!
席は何処からでも見えるようになってます。満席になることはあまりないそうです。デラックスにしたものの予約したのが2日前でしたのでデラックスの中でも後ろのほうでした。早めの予約をオススメします!スタンダードでも早めに予約すれば、その中でも前の方だと思うので見やすいと思いますよ!
確かに値段はそこそこしますが、私達が支払うお金は働いてる学生さんたちの奨学金として使われるそうですし、昼のショーも楽しいのでこれから行く方には昼からのをオススメします!

The concept of this park is good but we were disappointed overall because one cannot complete this park truly in 1 day as they open from noon till 5 PM only. You need more than 1 day and it's not close to Waikiki. The overall park is good in terms of exhibit and shows and has lot to take in, it's a good way to preserve and exhibit various Polynesian culture but they should consider opening longer hours. Also do not get caught up into buying morning lunch to get 30 mins early entry if you arrive around 11:30 as you will end up being last entering the actual park as you will be waiting in line to get seated for buffet style lunch. The lunch and dinner included has plenty of options if you are not vegetarian or vegan, otherwise totally can be skipped.

With all the choices to spend your money in Oahu, you may want to conserve your spending. However, I had one do-over, this would be it.
The PCC is organized by hundreds and they provide entertainment and food to thousands daily. My advise is to spurge to avoid the wait-times but also because the service and selection is significant. The dinner and night show was a great performance and I think it is worth the extra dollars for better food and better seats.
Had I known, I would have avoided the negative side of economy seats and food, and the terrible customer service that didn't allow a willing customer to pay for an upgrade.

I was looking for an optional tour that would give me a taste of Hawaii, and I came across this one. A very kind guide came to pick us up, which made me feel at ease. I was impressed by the size of the facility and the number of stalls. I got to enjoy the pineapple ice cream at the Dole Plantation and bought a mumu as a souvenir, which made me very happy. The buffet-style meal was filled with many local dishes, and it was delicious—I even went back for seconds. The show was packed with a lot of spectators, which was overwhelming.

This is a tour that includes a dinner buffet and an evening show only. A guided bus picked us up from the hotel. The guide is a Japanese exchange student who has been living in Hawaii for three years. The facility is located near the North Shore of Oahu, about an hour's drive from Waikiki. The guide was very passionate, sharing the history of the facility, experiences of life in Hawaii, and interesting facts about Hawaii during the ride, keeping the atmosphere lively with laughter.
According to the guide, the facility was created to support students, and the profits go towards scholarships and the salaries of student guides. I thought it would be great if there were similar facilities in Japan.
Before the show, we had the dinner buffet. The food was not bad, but the variety was limited, and it might be better not to have high expectations for the taste.
After the meal, at 7:30 PM, the largest evening show in Hawaii takes place in a theater that can accommodate 2,000 people. With over 100 performers on a grand stage, I was overwhelmed by the powerful performance that included Polynesian music, dance, and even fire, depicting the life of the main character.
Advice:
- During the day, there is a tour with the student guide that takes you around six villages within the facility, offering various interactive experiences. Therefore, I recommend participating in a full-day tour rather than just the night tour.
- If you want to see the evening show up close, I recommend opting for the deluxe package instead of the standard one. Also, it’s a good idea to read the brochure about the show’s synopsis before it starts to understand it better.
- Photography is not allowed during the evening show.
- There are no restrooms within the dinner buffet facility.
- After the evening show, the restrooms within the facility can get very crowded, so you can also use the restrooms at a nearby restaurant close to the bus stop outside the facility.
- The facility is closed on Sundays due to the religious practices of the Mormon Church.
ディナービュッフェとイブニングショーのみのツアーです。ホテルまでガイド付きバスが迎えに来てくれました。ガイドさんはハワイ在住3年目の日本人留学生です。施設はオアフ島の北、ノースショアに近いところにあり、ワイキキから車で1時間くらいかかります。ガイドさんはとても情熱的で、目的地着くまで、施設の歴史を教えてくれたり、ハワイの生活体験や面白いハワイ事情などを話してくれたりして、車内の笑う声が絶えませんでした。
ガイドさんの話によりますと、施設は学生支援の目的で作られ、収益は奨学金や学生ガイドさんの給料に当たるそうです。日本でもこのような施設があったらいいなと思いました。
ショーの前にディナービュッフェです。食事は悪くはないですが、種類が少なく味もあまり期待しない方が良いかもしれません。
食事の後、夜7時半から2000人も入れる劇場でハワイ最大級のイブニングショーが行われます。出演者が100名超の大きなステージで、主人公の生涯をポリネシアン音楽やダンス、更に炎も加えて大きな迫力に圧倒されました。
アドバイス
・日中は、学生ガイドさんと園内6つの村を巡るツアーがあり、色々な参加型体験が出来ますので、ナイトのみではなく、1日ツアーのご参加をお勧めします。
・イブニングショーを近くてみたいなら、スタンダードではなくデラックス以上の参加をお勧めします。また、ショーのあらすじは開演前にパンフレットを読まれ理解しておくとよいです。

On December 31st, my daughter and I participated in an evening tour. We were told that it usually takes 90 minutes to get to the Polynesian Cultural Center from Waikiki, but due to New Year's Eve, there was little traffic, and we arrived in less than an hour. Along the way, thanks to our energetic and knowledgeable guide, we gained some background knowledge about Hawaii's trees, mountains, and history, which allowed us to enjoy the content of the subsequent show.
We arrived before 6:00 PM and received our tickets from the guide in front of the restaurant before parting ways. (The buffet meal ticket and the ticket for the show starting at 7:30 PM were combined, and the staff at the restaurant entrance separated the meal ticket for us.) Since it was a standard buffet, I didn't have high expectations for the food, but aside from the main menu, there was a rich selection of salads, fruits, and desserts. It was great that we could freely drink juice and coffee. As someone who loves vegetables, I found it to be a decent level compared to a $55 per person buffet at a certain hotel (excluding drinks).
The seating arrangement in the show venue was fan-shaped, making it easy to see from any seat. The fire dance was quite impressive. Although I couldn't understand the lyrics of the songs, there was an English narration, so I got the general story, and it was a wonderful show where I could experience family love and the breath of life that flows through Hawaii.
12/31に娘と二人で夕方出発のツアーに参加しました。ポリネシア文化センターまでワイキキから通常90分かかると言われたが、大晦日の為車が少なく、一時間もしないうちに着きました。途中、元気且つ知識豊富のガイドさんのお蔭で、ハワイの木や山、そして歴史についての予備知識を備えることができ、その後のショーの内容を楽しむことができました。
18:00前に到着してレストランの前にガイドさんからチケットを受け取って解散。(ブッフェ食事券と19:30から開演するショーのチケットが一枚となっていて、レストラン入口にいる職員の方が食事券を切り離してくれる。)スタンダードの為食事の内容をあまり期待していなかったが、メインメニューを除き、サラダ、果物やデザートなどのサイトメニューは豊富でした。ジュースやコーヒーも自由に飲めてよかったです。野菜好きな私にとって後日某ホテルで55ドル/人(水以外別オーダー)のブッフェに比べても悪くないレベルです。
ショーの会場座席配置は扇型でどの席からも見やすいです。ファイヤーダンスは結構迫力ありました。歌の内容は理解できなかったが英語のナレーションがあったので大体のストーリーが分かり、家族愛とハワイに流れるbreath of life生命の息を体感できる素晴らしいショーでした。

I made the reservation after arriving at the location, but I was able to participate without any issues. Our family doesn't use a car and we have two small children, so it's difficult for us to go far from Waikiki, but it was great to be able to go to the PCC on the tour. The night show was indeed very powerful and entertaining! Overall, there was absolutely no cheapness as I had expected, and even adults could really get into it. I was surprised to see that students were the guides! I hope they do well.
現地へ行ってからの予約でしたが、問題なく参加できました。
我が家は車を使わず小さな子供が2人いるのでなかなかワイキキから遠くへ行けないのですがツアーでPCCへいけてとてもよかったです。やはり夜ショーはとても迫力があって面白かった!
全体的に、予想していたような安っぽさは全くなく、大人でも入り込めました。学生さんがガイドさんをされているということでびっくり!頑張って欲しいです。
