Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

extremely unique

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Polynesian Cultural Center was a great experience! The Cultural show was the best. We even got this incredble dessert to go along with it and they were so good! Some sort of fruity type of ice cream. YUM! I highly recommend this! Shelley/Owen from Calgary,AB Canada

Very enjoyable experience, but a long day. The Luau wasn't what I expected. If you are looking for the luau on the beach you won't care for this one. Overall a fantastic place. There are so many things to see. Very friendly staff and guides. The night show was outstanding. You have to experience this if you come to Oahu. Well worth the money

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Oahu Grand Circle Tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We enjoyed the Oahu Sightseeing Tour (Grand Circle Island Tour w/ Kualoa Ranch and Dole Pineapple Plantation). Our driver/tour guide "Napi" had so much information to share with us - he really made this trip interesting. I learned many things about the island that I would not have known about had we gone on this trip by ourselves in a rental car The price was reasonable and worth it. I recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.

What an Aloha sky and ocean view! what an Aloha sky & ocean view !!

Reviewed by: club kb

This experience is something that cannot be fully conveyed in words or writing. It can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

The instructors were all cheerful, which made it so that I didn't even feel nervous inside the Cessna. Since the total time was about six hours, I thought we would have a thorough lecture and preparation, but in reality, we just watched a video, received explanations, waited our turn, put on our gear, and before I knew it, we were already in the air!

Just below us, there was a rainbow, and the free fall towards it was the best!! It felt like I was on a swing over a huge map with the parachute.

In any case, it was the best diving experience!!

この経験はとても言葉や活字では伝え切れません。
体験したもの同士でないと伝わらないからです。

インストラクターはみんな陽気で、おかげでセスナ機内でも緊張感を感じることすらありませんでした。
所要時間が6時間ほどあるため、入念にレクチャーを受けて準備して・・・と思っていましたが、実際は淡々とビデオを見て、説明うけて、順番待って、ウェアを装着して、セスナに乗り込んで・・・次に気づけばもう空中でした!

ちょうど、真下に虹が出てそれに向かってのフリーフォールは最高でした!!
パラシュートは大きな地図の上でブランコに乗っているかのような気分。

とにかく、最高なダイビングでした!!

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Awesome time!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Hawaii!! Our tour guide was super nice and very knowledgeable. We rode the beach cruiser and it was really nice to just ride along the beach, but you have to be careful as you do share the road with cars. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and spend the whole day at the North Shore. We had an awesome time and I cannot wait to do it again.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My family and I absolutely loved visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center while in Oahu. I highly recommend spending the extra money and getting the Ambassador All day package. You will get a very personal tour guide of all the Polynesian villages. You are kept well entertained and learn a lot about the Polynesian cultures. The luau and the food was great, and the Night Show was beautiful and entertaining. I wished i had know the we were able to return on the ticket purchased to go back and go through it slower and get to do some of the events. please check out how to return

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Slightly dissapointing

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I had gone to this Luau about 20 years prior and had a very favorable memory of it. This time, I have to say, was disappointing. First off, I bought the half day package. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding or what, but our driver ( I also paid for transportation) said that our guide couldn't make it, so he took us on a tour when we got there. I felt the tour was rushed and not very impressive. I suppose for the half day, you shouldn't expect much.

He then took us to dinner a little late, and we were seated in the waaay back of the line, which makes a difference. The tables go to the buffet in order, so if you are towards the back, it's slim pickin's. The buffet itself was average, although considering what we paid, was below average for the price. I didn't get to see anything of the cooking of the pig or anything about the traditions, again, maybe because I was late.

The show, however, was as billed. There were many many different dances, and the dan

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

I recommend it! おすすめです!

Reviewed by: たいこう

On the day of the event, it was clear and almost windless. It was the perfect day for diving.

This was my second time skydiving. I forced a slightly reluctant friend to join me.

The location was in the northwest part of Oahu. The scenery looked like something out of Field of Dreams. The hot dog I had while waiting was delicious. A group of Harleys passed by, and the relaxed atmosphere was great.

There was a Japanese explanation video and staff who could communicate in Japanese. There were quite a few participants, around 40 people, including couples and groups. About 40% of the participants were Japanese.

No special knowledge was required. When I dove in Florida before, I had to manage things like reading the altimeter and operating the parachute, which was quite serious. This time, everything was left to the instructors. So, it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to do more themselves.

The instructors were very kind and experienced. They picked up on my slight anxiety and kept the mood light and fun. Thank you, Instructor Stephan, for being "the most dangerous instructor" (as George said).

Photos and videos are optional, but I especially recommend the video. When I jumped in Florida, I didn't order the video, so I regretted not having "proof" to show off to someone in Japan. Therefore, it's definitely a good idea to order the video. It's a wonderful video with cool music. Thank you, Ash.

On the day, there were many participants, and I felt the waiting time was a bit long. However, spending time leisurely with a hot dog and beer while watching others jump is also a nice way to spend a holiday.

It's scarier than a roller coaster but not as scary as bungee jumping. I highly recommend this activity for those who have never done it before.

参加当日は、快晴かつほぼ無風。

結構自分でする必要があり、かなり本格的でした。
今回は逆で、すべてインストラクター任せでした。
なので、自分でいろいろしたい!という人には物足りないかも知れません。

インストラクターは、とても親切かつ経験豊富な方たちでした。
少し不安になっているこっちの気持ちを汲んでくれて、明るく盛り上げてくれました。
「いちばんきけんなせんせい(George談)」ステファン先生ありがとう。


写真とビデオはオプションですが、ビデオは特にお勧めです。
フロリダで飛んだ時はビデオ撮影を注文しなかったため、日本で誰かに自慢したい時に「証拠」がなく、ずっと後悔していました。
なので、ビデオは必ず頼んだほうがいいです。
カッコいい音楽付きの素敵なビデオ。アッシュありがとう。

当日は、参加者が多く、やや待ち時間が長いかな?
と感じました。
まあ、他の人が飛んでるのを見ながら、のんびりとホットドックとビールで時間をつぶすのもまた、いい休日ですよ。

ジェットコースターよりは怖いけど、バンジージャンプよりは怖くありません。
一度もやったことのない人には、かなりお勧めのアクティビティーです。

Justin's Surf Bus was Awesome!

Reviewed by: Chris B

The Surf Bus tour to the North Shore was the best tour that we took. Our driver Justin was awesome. On the tour of the island he was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of things that we would have missed if we had just taken a rental car. This tour also gave us lots of options as far as activities and a choice of beaches to spend time at. Waimea Bay was the best beach on the island and the jumping rock was a lot of fun. I would recomend this tour to anyone!

It's the best! 最高です

Reviewed by: きのこ

I read other companies' experiences and was worried, so I opted for Japanese support. The explanations were clear with videos, and the foreign staff who flew with us were very accommodating, making it a wonderful memory. It was the best skydiving experience that blew away my fear of flying. I want to do it again and again. There was a Japanese lady who provided video explanations, but she didn't smile at all and seemed a bit angry, which was a minor downside; otherwise, there were no issues. I didn't bring any money, so I couldn't take videos or photos, but I definitely recommend getting them even if they are expensive. 😊

体験談など他社のも読みまして心配だったため日本語対応にしました。
説明もビデオでわかりやすく、一緒に飛んでくれる外人さんも対応良く、すばらしくぃぃ思い出になりました。
飛ぶ恐さも吹き飛ぶくらい最高のスカイダイビングでした。
何回も繰り返したいくらい。
日本人のおばさんがビデオ説明までしてくれるのですがその方が一切笑顔なしで怒った感じの対応がちょっと難点なくらいで何も問題ありませんでした。
お金を持っていってなかったのでビデオも写真も撮れなかったのですが絶対高くても撮った方がオススメです^^

Polynesian Cultural Center Admission Ticket with 6 Island Villages & Canoe Ride

Had a blast and learned a lot!

Reviewed by: Lisa T.

I went to PCC with my hubby and his family who are originally from Fiji. This was a lot of fun for my son and I and I learned quite a bit about my hubby's culture and the culture of surrounding islands.

The Samoan village was a lot more laid back than the other villages. They really try to get a laugh out of you. I don't remember the guys name... but he talked about his culture and he was making little jokes left and right.

The Fijian village was a lot more serious but just as fun. The did a lot of dances for us and even brought my mother-in-law on stage to dance with them. My son and I got fake Fijian tattoos that meant "warrior" and "queen" and since my hubby used to work at PCC we got a personal tour from him and his old boss.

The night show was very entertaining. Especially at the end with the Samoans brought the fire into the show.

I would definitely go again. We had a blast.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

The Highlight Of My Trip

Reviewed by: Paul, Dallas, TX

This will truly test your sea legs, which I truly had. So if you get sea sick, I wouldn't recommend it, but maybe some motion sickness pills may help. Once in the water you don't notice anything looking from above, but once you stick your head underneath you are completely surrounded by sharks. It was thrilling and exciting at the same time. My only concern was hoping that my underwater camera was taking some great shots, which later I found out was on the wrong setting. I was tempted to do it again, but luckily I bought the DVD of my swim. I would surly do it again when I return. It was the most thrilling thing that I have done in my life.

Amazing Time

Reviewed by: Shark Fanatic

This tour is definitely worth the money! We had an amazing time! Make sure to take Dramamine ahead of time and make sure to have enough battery power for your camera because you will take tons of photos. If you have never snorkeled, I recommend figuring out how to snorkel ahead of time. We also saw whales (it was the middle of whale season) and you could here them if you were really quiet under the water. We had to rebook due to weather and the staff was great at getting us a new date/time that worked with our schedule. The only regret I have is the video that was shot for us. It was very expensive for the footage we received (about 10 minutes) and the wrong couple was intereviewed at the beginning of the video and at the end of the video the camera wasn't turned off so we have about 5 minutes of a white wall on the front of the boat. All in all, it was an amazing time and we would definitely do it again!

The staff said they counted 15 sharks down there with us and they were all over. It was really neat to get that close to a shark. They were there the minute we got in and put on a good show. Only downside though was that off shore there was a storm off island that were creating a lot of big waves and half the boat got seasick. Take the dremamine when they tell you and it should be a great time.
