ポリネシア カルチャー センター ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー!ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン<送迎付きプランあり>

The show was amazing. ショーは最高でした

Reviewed by: yummy

I booked the show and dinner course. The variety of dishes was plentiful, and there were Japanese staff members, which made me feel comfortable while dining. The taste was neither particularly good nor bad... but there were local flavor menu items, which was nice. The show was story-driven and absolutely fantastic! It's worth seeing at least once. However, this plan does not include the admission fee for the Polynesian Cultural Center, so if you want to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, there will be an additional charge. It's a somewhat reasonable amount (I was surprised when I paid, haha), so if you have time to spare, it's fine, but considering the meal time in this tour, you won't be able to fully enjoy all the areas... Still, it was quite fun.

ショーとディナーのコースを申し込みました。
料理は品数も多く、日本人のスタッフもいて安心して食事できました。味は可もなく不可もなく…でもご当地の味付けメニューもあり良かったです。
ショーは物語仕立てで最高でした!一見の価値有りです。
ただ、このプランにはポリネシアンカルチャーセンターの入場料は含まれてませんのでポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを見たい方は別に料金がかかります。まぁまぁな金額なので(払ってビックリw)、時間に余裕のある方はいいですが、このツアーで食事の時間など考えるとすべてのエリアを十分に楽しむことはできません… でもなかなか楽しかったです。

Not too big so you can easily experience all the different Island Cultures and activities in 5 or 6 hrs. The Gateway Buffet has a lot of variety and has quality food, including desserts. The Ha; Breath of Life performance is outstanding.

ポリネシア カルチャー センター ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー!ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン<送迎付きプランあり>

The dance is worth seeing, but the food is not to be expected. ダンスは一見の価値あり、食事は期待できません。

Reviewed by: タータクカイ

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes, but the meat is tough and the seafood seasoning doesn't suit Japanese tastes, so overall, it was disappointing. Honestly, it might have been better to skip the buffet and use nearby restaurants or food trucks. The presentation of the food was interesting, but the taste quality received low ratings even from middle and high school kids.

As for the show, I can recommend it for adults, but since it's conducted in Hawaiian and English, you would need a certain level of English listening skills and some prior knowledge of the story to fully understand and appreciate it. There was a mix-up, or perhaps there were empty seats, as I ended up in a gold seat instead of the bronze seat I was supposed to have, which was a nice surprise. It seems that the main audience consists of tourists from the mainland U.S., and it's not a tourist spot that particularly caters to Japanese visitors. Additionally, due to the timing and travel fatigue, the kids seemed to doze off and didn't appear to enjoy it much.

The air conditioning on the shuttle bus was extremely cold, even for someone like me who tends to get hot easily. It's essential to bring a jacket if you're taking the bus.

Regarding tipping the shuttle bus driver, I didn't give one this time. The driver on the way there was very engaging and kept the conversation in English enjoyable, so some travelers from the mainland did tip him. Since there were several Japanese tourists as well, I think it would be nice to tip if there were a bit more service geared towards Japanese visitors.

ビッフェの品数も多いのですが、肉類は硬く海鮮系の味付けも日本人には合わず全体的に期待できません。正直、勿体無いけどビッフェは捨てて、近隣のレストランやフードトラックを利用した方が良かったぐらいです。食事の見た目は珍しい物も多く良いのですが、味のクォリティは中高生の子供達からも評価は低かったです。
また、ショーは大人へはお勧めできますが、ハワイ語?と英語での進行ですので、ある程度の英語ヒアリング能力やストーリー内容の予習がないと理解と評価は格段に下がってしまうと思われます。手違いか、空席があったのかブロンズシートの筈が何故かゴールドシートの端になっていたのは有り難かったです。どちらかと言えばアメリカ本土からの観光客がメインで、日本人観光客を優遇してくれるような観光地ではありません。また時間帯の影響と旅の疲れで子供達はウトウトして余り楽しんだ様子はありませんでした。
送迎バスのエアコンがガンガンで、超暑がりの私でも凍える程でした。バスに乗られる方の上着持参は必須です。
個人的に気になった、送迎バスの運転手へのチップですが今回は渡していません。行きのバスの運転手は道中英語での会話で終始楽しませてくれる方なので、本土からの旅行者の中にはチップを渡していた方もいました。日本人観光客も複数組居ましたので、少々日本人向けのサービスでもあれば渡してあげれば良いと思います。

Admission to the park is required separately! & No local guidance provided! (Abandoned at the parking lot) パークへの入場が別途必要!&現地案内なし!(駐車所へ放置)

Reviewed by: 親方様

First, I was dropped off at the parking lot by the shuttle car, and for the return, I was just told to take that bus back. I had to handle the tickets for the show and meal myself. The ticket fee for the park tour ($89 per person) was not included. The women in their 60s to 80s who were with me had nothing to do and waited around the souvenir shop for about two hours, had a meal, watched the show, and then went home. (It was sad.) I don't think I'll ask for this again next time!

まず、送迎の車で駐車場で降ろされ、帰りはあのバス乗って帰れってだけで、自分でショー&食事のチッケットを行わなければいけなかった。
パーク内見学のチッケット代(一人89ドル)は含まれていなっかった。
同乗せれてた60~80代の女性達は何もすることなく土産屋付近で2時間程待って食事をし、ショーを見て帰られた。(かわいそうだった)
次回はお願いしないかな!

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for your patronage.
However, we apologize for not meeting your expectations.

Please note that park admission is not included in the plan you reserved. As stated on the tour page, the price for the buffet dinner & evening show plan includes only the "dinner buffet/show."

Furthermore, we confirmed with the local operating company that you arrived at the park around 3:50 PM, and the driver assisted with check-in and guided you to the dinner venue. The dinner starts at 4:30 PM, so if you arrive at the restaurant when it opens, you would have about 30 minutes of free time. For those who did not make a dinner reservation, there is free time until the night show starts at 7:30 PM, during which you can visit the Fukirow Market Place or take the Temple Shuttle.

Thank you for your understanding.
VELTRA

ご利用ありがとうございます。
しかしながらご期待に沿えず申し訳ございません。

パークへの入場につきましては、ご予約いただいたプランには含まれておりませんことご了承ください。
ツアーページ上にも記載させていただいております通り、ビュッフェディナー & イブニングショープランの料金には「夕食ビュッフェ / ショー」のみ含まれております。

なお、当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、15時50分ごろパークに到着をして、ドライバーがチェックインをサポートをしディナー会場にご案内させていただいたとのことです。
ディナーは16時半スタートとなりますので、オープンの際にレストランにお越しいただければフリータイムは30分ほどだったかと存じます。
ディナーのご予約をされていない方は、19時30分スタートのナイトショーまでフリータイムとなっておりますので、フキラウ・マーケット・プレースに行かれたり、テンプルシャトルにご乗車いただいたりしてお過ごしいただいております。

何卒よろしくお願いします。

Informative and fun times

Reviewed by: NMP

It was the first time taking my family to PCC and they enjoyed learning about the different islands and cultures. It was a fun and filled with hands on activities for any one of any age to participate in. The buffet had a lot of food to offer and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were initially seated in the back but we had two members in our family with mobility issues and they promptly reseated us closer to the food. The show Ha was great. I have never seen a woman Samoan fire dancer and she was phenomenal.

In a bid to book a quickly selling show, we booked tickets online for the PCC, not realising that this booking didn't include the luau/food. I reached out to the team at Veltra both by email and phone, and was exceptionally served by your team. So very blessed by the experience at PCC and the way the Veltra team made it easy to swap our tickets! Thank you so very much Veltra!

Reviewed by: Laurie

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

This was my 2nd time visiting PCC, 16 years ago was my 1st visit. Nice to see Chief Kap is still there and still has many talents. A lot has changed, the Breath Of Life show was spectacular. The fire dance was amazing. The students that work there, every single one I came across were so pleasant and helpful. Everyone had a big smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. If you haven’t been to any luaus in Oahu, I’d suggest PCC. Hands down the best one on the island. Mahalo!

Wonderful Insight Polynesian People

Reviewed by: Tricia M Oxford UK

Was so impressed with the overall layout of the PCC. Upon arrival there are restrooms, water refill stations. Shops selling lots of good value and different styles of gifts. We started with a ride on the canoe through the villages , the guide was knowledge and told us about the fifferent countries also very interactive with the younger children. We visited as many villages as possible , experienced aspects of their culture through dance, craft or food. It is clear to see the young peoples love of their countries and culture. The buffet was way beyond my expectations, proper dining experience, we were able to taste all foods and it was self service, chicken,beef pork,fish, rice,noodles,salads and so many desserts the list goes on. Very disappointed to see people wasting so much food, piling plates with too much food, especially when the culture of the Polynesian people is to value food and not waste food. We were thanked for supporting the PCC, the monies raised support the students to study and return to their countries to improve the lives of others. Would highly recommend great day out

Family-friendly!

Reviewed by: MarNi06

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!
