Kailua Beach is a beautiful beach with cobalt blue waters and pristine white sands, which has been recognized as the number one beach in the United States. The East Coast of Hawaii is windy, making Kailua a mecca for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
The Kailua Beach Center serves as a hub, and if you get tired of playing in the ocean, you can enjoy shave ice from "Island Snow Hawaii," which is located on the same premises. Kailua is a must-visit spot when you come to Hawaii.
カイルアビーチは、全米NO1に輝いたことのあるコバルトブルーの海と真っ白な砂浜が綺麗なビーチだ。ハワイイーストコーストは風が強く、ここカイルアもウインドサーフィンやカイトサーフィンのメッカとなっている。
カイルアビーチセンターが拠点となっており、海遊びに飽きた場合でも同じ敷地内にある「アイランドスノーハワイ」のシェイブアイスを食べたりすることができます。カイルアはハワイに来たら絶対はずせない場所となっています。

I participated this summer. I thought, "Why would I go to Hawaii just to swim in a pool?" but I was surprised after joining! It was my first experience with such a pool. My first-grade daughter was thrilled and tried the Volcano Express multiple times. The Cliffhanger left me speechless. The speed and water pressure were so intense that I couldn't speak for about five seconds. The surfing attraction, Da Flowrider, was quite challenging. The waves at Hurricane Bay were also impressive and perfect for practicing on a boogie board. I want to participate again!
この夏に参加しました。ハワイに来てまでプールなんて・・・と思っていましたが、参加してみてビックリ!こんなプールは初体験でした。
ボルケーノエキスプレスでは小学校1年の娘も喜んで何度も挑戦していました。
クリフハンガーは、絶句。 あまりのスピードと水圧で5秒程度言葉が出ませんでした。
波乗りアトラクションのダ・フローライダーはかなりむつかしたっかです。
ハリケーン・ベイの波もかなりなもので、ブギーボードの練習にもってこいです。
また参加したいです。

We went with 4 couples and had a blast at this luau. The luau grounds is beautiful - the lagoon is such a nice touch and different than other luau's we have been to previous years. The food is excellent - and the entertainment is incredible. Thank you for the perfect ending to our Hawaiian Vacation!

We loved going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Our guide "Cousin Gumbo" was very personable and informative. The day started very nice but we did have rain showers. We didn't let that stop us from enjoying everything. We didn't get to go on the canoe ride because of the rain. Next time maybe we will be able to.
We did do fun activities and learned about the different islands and cultures. The luau was very nice and we enjoyed the different foods. The show was fantastic. We do plan to go again and visit area's of the center we didn't get to see. Would recommend for all ages.

Loved the tour. Our tour guide was "Ed" very friendly and knowledgeable. Also entertaining.
This was a fantastic day. It was nice to go and see the places we wouldn't have seen if we had driven around the island. So much would have been missed if we hadn't taken the tour.
We do plan to do it again sometime. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice adventure.

My family and I went on this tour last year, and we cannot wait to visit the islands once again to experience more whale watching!
The onboard whale expert was very knowlegable and even though my daughter peppered her with questions throughout the tour, she was very attentive and answered each one throughly.
I do wish that there was a bit more outside deck space since it was rather limited, but there was plenty of space indoors, and there were quite a few windows as well.
Great tour!

Our guide was coughing into the mike as he talked and we thought if he was sick, he should have stayed home. He could have at least removed the mike when he was coughing.

The show was great and we enjoyed it very much. The rest of the experience was so-so. Our driver was 30 min. late and we were rushed into the park with most of the villages already closed for the day. The dinner was again rushed and we were seated during the end of the show which appeared to have been great. The little we saw of it was really funny. The food left a bit to be desired. But then we went to the Horizon show and it was awesome. I guess when you go to the half day show you're really just getting the great evening show. Next time I'll know to go to some other luau and go to the cultural center during the day to really see what's there. Feel like we missed a lot.

Last year, I went with my 5-year-old and mom again.
I definitely recommend the Big Splash Pack.
After changing, first go get a free drink to quench your thirst.
It's a shame that we didn't get to try the FlowRider.
With bodyboarding, the instructor helps you, making it easy to take off.
My 5-year-old also got pushed into the big waves for their first long ride.
There are plenty of slides for small children, so they can play without getting bored.
The attraction called Shaka is especially thrilling to watch.
You should definitely give it a try.
The BBQ lunch was also a hit, so be sure to participate.
昨年に続き5才のちびとママ行ってきました。
だんぜんビックスプラッシュパックがおすすめです。
着替えたらまずは、フりードリンクを取りに行きのどを潤してください。
ダフローライダーは、やっていなかったのが残念。
ボディーボードは、インストラクターが押してくれるのでらくらくテイクオフができます。
5歳のチビも押してもらいうねりの大きいところから人生初のロングライディング。
小さい子供向けの滑り台もたくさんあって飽きないであそべます。
特にシャカというアトラクションは見ていてもすごいスリル。
ぜひお試しを。
お昼のBBQランチも合格点是非参加してみてください。

The location is very clean and organized. We returned to the Polynesian Culter Center because of the fun and knowledge we came away with in our first trip there in 2006. We didn't get to view the complete park our first time do to its size. The weather was a chanllege this time and we saw less of the activites than before. Our tour guide was not up to all the knowledge needed to lead our group, she had been only a tour guide for three weeks. For the price and knowledge you wanted to gather fell far short.
The luau dinner was great and the final show was also a great performance! The effort the culter center puts out to make you feel at home, I would recommended it to anyone.

This was a great way to start our family Hawaiian vacation. There was something for everyone to do. We made fresh flower lei's, learned to play the ukelele, and had hula lessons. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The lunch buffet had a very nice selection and was ono (yummy).
Two hours didn't seem quite long enough. There were so many activities that we didn't get much opportunity to just sit back and enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea. I would recommend this for a family activity. I would go again, next time for the whale watching season.

It may be difficult for those who don't understand English at all. However, I think you can have a great time with just a little bit of English skills and the courage to take a step forward. There were really very few Japanese people, and we couldn't find anyone else besides us. The guide also spoke very little Japanese. But I think that's part of what makes it enjoyable. There were more than enough drinks and food. The events on stage were all wonderful, and I was quite satisfied. The city is of course lovely, but experiencing Hawaii in places like this is also great.
確かに英語が全然分からない人には難しいかもしれません。でも、少しの英語力と、一歩踏み出る度胸さえあれば充分楽しめると思います。
日本人は本当に少なくて、私たち以外に見つけることはできませんでした。
ガイドの方も、ほとんど日本語はしゃべれません。
でも、だからこそ楽しめるという部分もあると思います。
飲み物や食べ物は充分すぎるほど。
ステージでの催しも、どれもすばらしく、かなり満足できました。
街中も勿論素敵だけれど、こういった所でハワイを体験するのもいいですよ。

My partner and I brought his mom with us to Hawaii and this was the closing to our one week trip. The staff as always were exceptional. However, I wish there was more time to just relax instead of being herded around like a bunch of cattle. I felt that there was too much to do and see with so little time. We had the deluxe package, which we never got our photos and free gifts as promised. That was a big disappointment.

Dinner was not very good. The people there were very very nice to work with. Our driver Chris was also very nice and gave us a lot of information while on the drive.

Overall, it was an English immersion experience. Of course, on the bus and even after arriving, we were the only Japanese group there.
Since we had to rely on the shuttle bus for transportation, it was really challenging to understand English.
There was a staff member on the shuttle bus who guided us. You need to remember the name of that staff member and the bus number for your seat at the venue, so it's essential to memorize that. In our case, Jackie was the staff member, and the bus number was 5.
We were quite unsure about when and where to gather for the return trip. In the end, after the show, everyone just got up from their seats and went shopping or wandered around, but it seemed we could return to the bus whenever we wanted. Since we were confused, we found Jackie, who was selling commemorative photos, asked her where the bus was, and managed to get back to the bus.
There were many anxieties, but the show was very impressive and really great. The food was delicious too. Now that I understand the flow of things from this experience, I would like to go again.
とにかく英語三昧でした。バスはもちろん、現地に着いてからも日本人は私たちグループだけでした。
バスでの送迎のため、勝手に行って勝手に帰ってくるというわけにはいかないので、英語のヒアリングをするのが本当に大変でした。
。
送迎のバスに担当者がいて、その人が案内してくれます。現地での席はその担当者の名前とバスの番号が必要になりますので、そこだけは必ず覚えておく必要があります。私たちのときは、ジャッキーが担当者で、バス番号は5番でした。
帰りの集合がいつなのか、どこなのか、とにかく手探りでした。結局ショーが終わったら、それぞれで適当に席を立ち、買い物をしたり、ブラブラしたりするようですが、もうバスに戻っていてもいいようです。私たちは、とにかく分からなかったので、記念写真を販売していたジャッキーを探しだし、バスの場所を聞き、バスに戻るとこができました。
不安はたくさんありましたが、ショーはとても迫力があり、すごくよかったです。ご飯もおいしかったです。今回の参加で、流れがわかったので、また行きたいと思います。
