Took daughter to Hawaii for her birthday. Wanted her to experience the Islands and how each of the polynesian islands were different yet simuliar. So informative and would do again and again if I have the chance. Thank you Angelo for the special birthday crown you make for my daughter. I asked her what her favorite part of her trip was and she said The PPC. You all were awsome. A big Mahalo to you all.

I have used Alan1.net multiple times, but this was my first time participating in a limited monitor tour. Since the price was fixed, I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious meals and the show seats, which were in the center and just three rows from the front. The child I accompanied was also thrilled to quickly take a commemorative photo with the main characters, the prince and princess. This is my eighth time in Hawaii, and it’s always a fun paradise no matter when I come. I will be visiting again in January and February next year, and I will be using Alan1.net.
Alan1.netは何回も利用させてもらいましたが、初めて限定モニターツアーに参加しました。
金額が定額でしたので期待をしていませんでしたが、予想をひるがえして食事も堪能し、加えてショーの席もセンターで前から三列目でした。同伴の子供も主役の王子と姫と素早く記念写真を撮れて喜んでいました。
ハワイは8回目となりますが、いつ来ても楽しいパラダイスです。また、来年の1月&2月に訪れますが、Alan1.netを利用させていただきます。

Since the stage is set up on the rooftop, it's difficult to see the show because of people's heads. If the seating were tiered like at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it would be possible to see the entire show from the back, even if it's far away.
The "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is very convenient for those staying at the Hilton, as it's located within the village. It's also convenient to be able to watch the show while having a meal.

First off, go all out and get the top-of-the-line package because you are treated like a king/queen. As a first-time visit for my girlfriend, she was enthralled. From the moment you walk in, each aspect of the visit is well-planned. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the food well prepared and the show a treat to behold. You won't be disappointed!

It was my first time participating. First, about the food, it was a buffet, and I would say it was neither good nor bad. It was more about quantity than quality, but I was satisfied.
The show was fairly interesting. It had a storyline, so it wasn't boring.
I was seated in the fourth row from the front. I wonder if it would be hard to see from the back...
There was an ice cream service halfway through, and it was super delicious!
It became a great memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much.
初めての参加でした。まず、食事ですが、ビュッフェですが、」んー可もなく不可もなくといった感じでしょうか。

It has been over a year since I participated, but I was seriously considering revisiting until the last minute during my recent trip to Hawaii.
I thought this place was just a typical tourist theme park since it has been around for a long time. So, I never thought to go back, and I always ignored it after being taken there as a child.
However, visiting as an adult was great! I learned a bit about Hawaii, which I love. If you have the budget and time, I definitely recommend going with the deluxe plan. With a small group, the guide is easy to hear, and they ensure you have a great view of the shows!
参加したのはもう一年以上前なのですが、
今回の渡ハ時もギリギリまで再訪しようか悩んだくらいです。
ここって昔からあるし、
よくある観光テーマパーク…と思ってました。
なのでわざわざまた行こうと思わなかったし、

けれど大人になって行ってみると良かった♪
大好きなハワイについて、軽く勉強になります。
もし予算と時間に余裕があるなら、
是非デラックスなプランで行ってみてください。
少人数にガイドさんがつくから聞きやすいし、
ショーもものすごく見やすい位置をとってくれていますよ~。

The activity lasted 14 hours, but we were never bored and the time seemed to fly by. A great guide/bus driver in Henry, an entertaining samoan, helped greatly.
You get to see many of the famous beaches, mountains and other parts of Oahu, as well as the Dole plant (where we spent so little time that it was almost a waste) and the Polynesian cultural center.
The buffet was OK, as expected, but nothing special. The shows before and after though, were very good. A must see for all visiting Oahu.
Good value for the money.

On the day of the night show, we had excellent seats and were able to enjoy a wonderful performance from a front-row perspective.
The employees who attended were very pleased and would definitely recommend this show to anyone coming to Hawaii.
This activity, which allows you to experience Polynesian culture, is recommended for those who want to see a side of Hawaii beyond just shopping.

We left the hotel in Waikiki at 12:00 and headed to the Polynesian Cultural Center, stopping by a souvenir shop along the way, and arrived at the site at 2:15. We watched the canoe show, and then continued to explore the buildings and shows from various countries, which included some hands-on experiences that were enjoyable. Dinner at the restaurant started at 5:00; it was a buffet, but very delicious. The show starting at 7:30 had a storyline and was truly wonderful, leaving me deeply moved. It exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I chose the deluxe option.
12時にワイキキのホテルを出てポリネシア文化センターへ、途中お土産屋さんに寄り2時15分に現地到着。

The year before last, I participated with a friend. As soon as we got on the bus, we were overwhelmed by the energetic foreign travelers, and I was filled with excitement wondering what was going to happen. Until we returned, I didn't encounter any Japanese people, which made me feel like I was thrown into a mysterious world. I wanted another friend to experience that thrilling adventure, so I signed up for this tour again. This time was also a big hit, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the chance again, I would like to participate.
一昨年 友人と二人で参加。バスに乗り込むや、すごいノリの外国人達に圧倒され、これは何事が起きるんだろうと、それはもうドキドキでした。帰るまで、一度も日本人に会うことも無く、不思議な世界に放り出された気分でした。そのワクワク体験を別の友人にも感じてもらいたくて、再度 このツアーに申し込みました。今回も大うけで、とても楽しめました。また機会が有れば、参加したいです。

Last year, we went on the same tour with four people... This year, we went with two couples, totaling six people... We departed around 4 PM, enjoyed the mountains and scenery along the way, and after arriving, had a meal in a pleasant open-air location... After browsing for souvenirs, it was finally time for the show. Last year, we were seated towards the back, making it a bit difficult to see the stage, but I thought it was because it was a cheap tour... This year, however, we had relatively good seats towards the front, albeit on the side. The show was the same as last year, but we enjoyed it just as much. During a break, watching the people carrying ice cream at high speed down the stairs, which was included in the expensive tour, was just as enjoyable as the show... Including all of this, everyone was very satisfied with the affordable and fun half-day experience!
昨年は同じツアーに4名で・・・今年は友人夫妻2組と6人で・・・
4時頃出発で、途中の山々や景色を楽しみ、到着後オープンエアーの気持ちの良い場所でのお食事・・・お土産を覗いて、いよいよショーです。昨年は後ろの方で舞台が少々見づらかったのですが、安いツアーだから・・・と、思っていたら今年は、端ですが比較的前の方の良いお席・・ショーは昨年同様のものでしたが、何度でも楽しみました。
途中休憩の時に高いツアーに含まれるアイスクリームを運ぶ人たちの超スピードの階段移動がショーと同じ位楽しめました・・・これも含めて安くて楽しめる半日にみんな大満足でした♪

I would highly recommend this activity as a 'must do' during your Hawaii vacation.
The whole tour, from initial booking via Hawai Activities, to collection from our hotel, transport, and the Luau experience at Paradise Cove was sensational!
The tour guide Pomai was entertaining and knowledgable and 'included' everyone as a family unit. The staff at Paradise Cove were friendly and helpful and their enthusiasm and smiles made the experience unique and breathtaking.
The hospitality, food and entertainment was second to none.
One of our best holiday experiences ever!!!!

I wanted to see the Polynesian show, so I joined a plan that included just the show and dinner. I didn't check out the other attractions in the theme park, but I think it would be interesting for those who have the time to participate. The dinner is a buffet, so it's nice to be able to choose what you like, but if you arrive just before the entry time, it can be crowded, and there were people waiting. The show has a storyline, which made it easy to understand, and I appreciated that. Since the story progresses at a leisurely pace, I felt that a plan that includes dining would also be a good option. Although my seat was towards the back, I was able to enjoy the overall atmosphere, and I felt that was nice in its own way. Of course, the fire dance, which I was most looking forward to, was spectacular. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it before.
ポリネシアンショーが見たくて、ショーと食事だけのプランに参加しました。
テーマパークの他のアトラクションは見ていないのですが、時間がある方は参加しても面白そうなのではないかと思いました。
ディナーはバイキングですので、好きなものを選べるので良いと思いますが、入場時間ぎりぎりに来ると混んでいて待っている人もいました。
ショーはストーリーになっているのでわかりやすくてよかったです。
これだけゆっくりストーリーが進むのであれば、
食事をしながらのプランもアリだなと感じました。
席は後ろの方でしたが、全体の雰囲気も味わえてそれはそれでよかったと感じています。
もちろん一番見たかったファイアーダンスも迫力満点で良かったです。
見たことのない方には鑑賞をお勧めします。

I participated in the Twilight Deluxe.
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for this because I wanted to see the show.
It was a wonderful show, just as I had heard, and I was moved!
It takes over an hour to get to the center, but I think it's worth going just to see the show.
Before entering the restaurant, we took photos with the dancers one group at a time, but they cost $18, so I didn't buy one. They turned out well, but I would have purchased one if it had been a bit cheaper.
By the way, if there are Deluxe seats available, it seems you can upgrade from Standard to Deluxe by paying an additional fee on the day. I think it's better to watch from the Deluxe seats if possible.
トワイライトデラックスで参加しました。
初めてのハワイで、ショーが観たかったのでこちらに申し込みました。
評判通り素晴らしいショーで感動しました!
センターまで片道1時間以上かかりますが、ショーを観る為だけにでも行く価値はあると思います。
レストランに入る前に1組ずつダンサーと写真を撮ってもらいましたが、$18もしたので買いませんでした。よく撮れていたのでもう少し安ければ買ったのですが。
ちなみにデラックスの席が空いている場合は、当日追加料金を払えばスタンダードからデラックスの席に変更できるようです。できればデラックスの席で観た方がいいと思います。

I had a great time. Perhaps because it was crowded during the summer season, I thought I would have a seat a bit closer... I think the show would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English. I wonder if it's easier to get seats if you arrive early? The food was delicious and served as a course. I enjoyed chatting with an elderly couple at the same table, and the time flew by. It was a fun experience since shows like this are quite rare in Japan.
いい時間を過ごしました。夏のシーズンで混んでるためなのか、もう少し前の席かと思ったのですが、、、英語がわかるともっと楽しいショーだったと思います。なるべく早く行った方が席は取りやすいのかな?料理もコースで美味しく頂きました。同じテーブルの年配夫婦とお話しながらで時間もあっという間でしたね。日本ではなかなか無いショーなので楽しかったです。

I participated in the All Day Deluxe. The transportation was enjoyable, with a male college student guide explaining things while we traveled in a medium-sized bus.
For the evening show, I booked through Alan1 and ended up in the fourth row from the front in the center. The center is the best location. If you're seated further back, you can't see the dancers' facial expressions, which diminishes the enjoyment. (Although the price is high, the Deluxe experience is definitely worth it.)
The Deluxe option included a guided tour with a small group, and even though it was expensive, I was very satisfied. (This time, our guide was a very cute college student named Kotona. Thank you for explaining everything so well and making it a pleasant day.) My three children, who are in elementary and middle school, also had a great time.
As a downside, there were too many things to see, and one day wasn't enough. I wish they would start earlier. There was hardly any time to buy souvenirs, which is disappointing! (After the evening show, it's time to catch the bus back, leaving no time for shopping.)
There are various events like hula dancing and a Tonga show. Therefore, booking the Deluxe through Alan1 and sitting in the center front row is definitely worth it.
オールデイ・デラックスで参加しました。
送迎は、中型バスで男子大学生のガイドが説明しながら楽しく移動できました。
夜のショーは、Alan1で申し込んだら中央で前から4列目でした。中央が最高のロケーションです。また、後ろのほうでは、ダンサーの顔の表情がわからないため、楽しさも半減です。(料金が高いですが、デラックスが絶対に良いです。)
デラックスは、場内の案内も少人数で案内され、料金が高くても満足いくものでした。(今回のガイドは、とてもかわいい大学生の琴奈さんでした。一生懸命説明してくれて気持ちの良い一日を過ごせて有難うございました。)
高・中・小学生の3人の子供たちも楽しんでいました。
最後に欠点として、見どことがありすぎて一日では足りません。だからこそ、開始時間を早めてほしいです。お土産の買う時間もほとんどありません。残念!(夜のショーが終わったら帰りのバスの時間です。買い物の時間はありません。)
フラを踊ったり、トンガのショーを見たりいろいろなイベントがあります。だから、デラックスをAlan1で予約して中央前列で見る価値は、保障です。

This time, we chose Hawaii, a memorable place for our family's first trip, and signed up for this tour.
It was my first time here as well, but the guide was very accommodating, and we had a great time. The kids said, "It doesn't feel like we're in a foreign country" in Waikiki, but they were thrilled to say that this tour "feels like we're in a foreign country" (laughs). At first, they were nervous, but when we returned to the hotel, they were excitedly talking about the show.
Compared to the Polynesian Cultural Center, it's smaller and has fewer attractions, but that allowed us to enjoy it at a more leisurely pace, which was nice.
Thank you very much.

The show and dinner were all great, although the difference between booking premiere and regular show seems only to make sure that you have a front table. I was very lucky to sit with a family from Canada who were very friendly and welcoming. This show has seating at large round tables, and so as an individual realize that you are going to be sitting with someone else.
The show itself was first rate and the singers and dancers put their all to it. There is a small part of the show at the beginning that really didn't make sense where they played like to the were doing work in a village....they should let the dancers and singers rest and abandon this part.
This is an expensive but on Waikiki event, no bus to ride on, but let me share with you if you are in the restaurant right next to the show, or are on the public beach behind the show you could see the whole thing for free!

The luau was good. The only thing I would suggest is to not have the people waiting outside so before getting on the bus. The temperature outside was already hot and then the heat from the bus's engine made it worst. We waited outside the bus for 45 minutes before we could get on.
