Oahu
Enjoyed the day. Our tour guide was Paina and he was great. Informative and helpful. The luau is pretty standard fair but loved the evening show. The shows on the various "islands" were fun also.
it was everything i expected and more. the show was awsome, the villiages were great. the food was marvalous. get there early for the brunch. its great too. the staff were very knowledgeable and very friendly. they are all natives. our guide was from the netherlands and he was friendly and would go all out for you. deffinatly take the super ambasitor tour. you experience so much more and up close and personal...
half day is enough to be there. we had fun!
This is a must see for anyone visiting the island of Oahu! The Luau is a feast and the Horizons show is a spectacular way to end the evening. I would suggest that those planning their itinerary, schedule this event on their last night in Hawaii, so as to end with a bang.
Also, those traveling with children will find the tour of the different villages to be extremely educational.
Remember to bring extra cash for browsing the gift shops, tipping your servers, and just in case you want to purchase that DVD recording of the Horizons show to give the folks back home a taste of the whole fantastic experience!
We participated as three couples, including my eldest daughter and her husband, to celebrate my wife's retirement and my youngest daughter's marriage. Since it was our first time, we chose the most luxurious course, and the guide Yuki, who is from Okinawa, was wonderful, as were the performances from each village (island). Occasionally having a dinner without alcohol was quite nice as well.
The highlight was the Horizons show. Everyone was moved by it. Since returning home, we have been enjoying the DVD and CD we received as gifts. Next time we participate, I might challenge myself to try the workshop course.
家内の退職記念と下の娘の入籍祝いを兼ねて、長女夫妻を含めた３カップルの６名で参加。
初めてなので一番贅沢な？コースを選択したのですが、案内してくれた沖縄出身のyukiさんのガイドも、それぞれの村（島）でのパフォーマンスも素晴らしい。たまにはアルコール抜きのデイナーもなかなかのもの。
そして圧巻はHorizonsショー。全員で感動していました。
帰国してからも、プレゼントされたＤＶＤyaＣＤを愉しんでいます。
また参加するときは、ワークショップのコースにチャレンジしてみようかな。

Guides are excellent. There is something going on all the time. Too much to see in 1 day. We'll definitely go back. The Luau was fantastic and the Horizons show was outstanding!
My husband and I spent the day at the Cultural Ctr. the day after Christmas. Our tour escort "Cousin Will" picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the various villages throughout the day. It was an educational day and a lot of fun as well. We learned so much about the different cultures, their language, their dance and their stories. The luau was fun and tasty. The Horizon's show was a spectacular finale of the day, the best show on the island of Oahu. I would recommend this experience for any first timers to the islands of Hawaii. And it's true that you can't see everything in one day. I wish we could have stayed longer. Enjoy!
What a fantastic all-day affair!! The frequent "say aloha" prompts from the tour guides was a bit much and got old, but the actual activity was a fabulous and impressive one. We hope to return to Hawaii someday and will repeat this one. Do be aware that they charge extra for a tour guide, but it is worth it for the first time.
I participated when I took my parents to Hawaii for the first time. Of course, the night show "Horizons" was amazing, but the most fun for our family was especially in the Samoa Village, with the fire-starting demonstration and coconut cracking, and the chant of "Stone coconut, stone coconut, stone..." still brings back joyful memories for my parents. We laugh every time we watch the video. It's a classic in Hawaii, and I recommend participating at least once! We could have driven there ourselves, but driving at night with jet lag can be dangerous, so joining the tour was a safe choice.
父母を初めてハワイに連れていった時に参加しました。もちろん
夜のショー「ホライズン」もすごいですが・・・私達の家族の中で、一番楽しかったのは、特にサモア村で、火おこしの実演やココナッツ割りや火起こしでの『石 椰子 石 椰子 石・・・・』は今でも父母の楽しかった思い出のようで・・・
ビデオを見ては笑ってしまいます。ハワイの定番ですが、一度は参加！！お勧めです。自分達で、車でも行けますが、、時差ボケでの夜の運転は危ないので、OPツアー参加は安心して行けました。

The food was great but the entertainment was just OK. Need more variety at the Luau... consider offering other activities to do besides the stage show.
This luau was nicely done. The food was good and the music and dancing was nice. This luau is worth going to again. We all enjoyed ourselves.
I have been to this Center multiple times. And I will probably go back again some time. I continue to take friends and family to this Center as I find the educational value significant. I also enjoy the talents of the people and enjoy the food. This is a great place to visit.
My favorite part of the experience was seeing the Samoan fire dancer at the end of the evening show, "Horizons". It was a beautiful, exciting and fun performance! He was also doing a cooking demonstration earlier that day at the Samoan camp. He was funny, charming, and kept us smiling. You can tell that he really loves what he does. I also loved how everyone who worked at the park seemed excited to share their culture.
This is a wonderful place to visit -- enjoyed with our children and would make a repeat visit.
A fabulous time! We hired our guide, Mose, for $10 to take us on a tour. Couldn't have seen as much as we did without him! Need more than one day to do this attraction fully.
we enjoyed the luau out very much this was our first time but definitely the highlight of our whole trip., would highly recommend to friends and family, entertainment and food was great!
I felt that this was an outstanding value for the money. The whole experience was not only entertaining but educational as well.
The polynesian cultural center is pretty cool. Anybody visiting Hawaii for the first time should check it out.
it was great and one day is definitely not enough time to see and learn all that is at the Polynesian Cultural Center
I wish we had gone to the Royal Hawaiian Luau first since we went to another one on our first night in Honolulu and it was nothing compared to this one! The food was excellent! The teriyaki beef was tender, the kalua pork was incredibly flavorful (and they had a whole roasted pig as well!), the mahimahi was some of the best I have ever had and I even tried a bit of the poi (wasn't great, but I had to try it again!). The service was quick and friendly and the drinks were very yummy.
I liked the fact that the show is very engaging and all of the performers just shined on stage. It is a bit pricier than some of the other luaus, but it is definitely worth it!
Our guide was very poor.We didn't get to see anything. You need a full day to see everything before the luau.The luau was very poor.The evening show was the best part of the experience.
We had a wonderful time.
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with the bus attendant on the way to the cultural center, all the way to the show.
文化センターへ行くバスの添乗員さんの話からショーまで十分楽しませいただきました。

A night show with dinner at this price!! The show was truly satisfying and incredibly moving ☆ It was colder at night than I expected, so be sure to bring a jacket!!

The food was good and generous and the entertainment was fantastic.
During our stay in Oahu we went to two luaus. By far this was the best. It is in a great location. The sun was setting in the background. Very romantic
My family and I enjoyed our whole day in PCC. We manage to visit all the 7 tribes of polynesia thanks to our to guide. He was very courteos and very friendly specially to our little ones. The day went very smooth although the weather was hot and muggy. The food at the luau was good as well as the performances of the girls and cousin benny. It was a delightfull dinner indeed. After the luau, we had 1 hour free time to ourselves to visit the souviener shops and check our photos taken during the day. A bit expensive for an 8X10 picture but we bit the bullet for the sake of remembrance. The night show was splendid. They pretty much showed all the seven tribes altogether and made a fabuluos show. Hula dancers were good, they were great shaking their butts. Men were also good at what they do. They really played their part as a tribe warriors. They added a little humor which I thought was cool such as slipping down the floor and pretending to hurt their butt. The three men fire dancers remind
I have been to Hawaii more than ten times, and half of those visits have been to this place. I don't know why, but it's an attractive place that makes you want to come back. I think it's more suited for families and friends rather than couples. It's a great place because you can experience the culture.
私はハワイに１０回以上いってますが、その半分はここにきています。なぜかわからりませんが魅力的で、また行きたくなる場所です。カップル。というよりは家族や友達にむいているばしょだとおもいます。文化を体感できるのでとてもいい場所だと思います。

The show was a powerful performance with dance and a fire show. It was my first time seeing a fire show, and it was amazing. It is a bit far away, so the travel time is long, but if you have some extra time, I think it's worth going to see it at least once.
ショーは、ダンスにファイヤーショーに迫力のある物でした。
ファイヤーショーは、初めてみたのですが凄かったです。
少し遠い場所にあるので移動が長いですが、時間に余裕がある方は一度観に行ってもいいと思います。

My husband and I had a gret time at the Polynesian Cultural center. The tour bus guide "Kemo" or Cousin K was very knowledgeble about the cultures, and land legends of Oahu. The tour bus ride was 1 hour 15 minutes from Waikiki, but it went by very quickly. He taught us how to speak Hawaiin properly, a few legends from the Windward side, as well as the local spots. Once in the center, we got to see all but 2 islands (very hard to do as the center is huge) and we went to many shows, the canoe ride, the lua, and the night show. It was a very long and hot day that ended in a huge rain shower, but it was so worth it and we do not regret spening the whole day there. Very educational!!
