Polynesian Cultural Center

Reviewed by: Lamberto Valenzuela , 2024/04/24

The show was very entertaining and the dinner buffet was amazing , the Island shows are very entertaining as well we had a remarkable time, the weather was very pleasant but the rain started right after the show was over and we got wet on our way to the bus, even that was a lot of fun .

ビショップミュージアム 入場チケット事前予約

内容の充実したミュージアム

Reviewed by: ハワイ2回目, 2024/04/21

日本人観光客にはマイナーな施設のようであり、ワイキキビーチから少し離れていますが、とても充実したミュージアムでした。ハワイの歴史だけでなくハワイ州の火山の歴史についてもコンパクトにまとめられており、ミュージアム好きには大変勉強になりました。プラネタリウムの「The Hawaiian Sky Tonight」も観たかったのですが、午前中のみの上映で観れませんでした。また行きたいです。

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show

Great fun with friends!

Reviewed by: Lala Kitty, 2024/04/19

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~

Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.

Once we arrived, we were greeted with a kukui nut lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.

The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.

But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

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

Best Day Ever!

Reviewed by: Masterson , 2024/04/14

There was so much to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstrations and musical presentations. We learned how to make poi, husk coconuts, and weave palm fronds, among other things. The dinner buffet was the best ever, with so much variety in the wide range of menu items. The theater presentation “The Breath of Life” was outstanding! Kudos to all the young university students who work so hard to provide such a unique cultural experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming. This was our second visit (previous one was in 1986) and we were not disappointed. We would return again in a heartbeat!

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri General Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Mighty Mo

Reviewed by: T & W, 2024/04/05

We had the most incredible time touring the Mighty Mo!! Really incredible to stand on a battleship where WWII came to an end. Saffron, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was so informative, interesting and kind. Could listen to her all day! We also met Alvin in the Aviation Museum and really enjoyed listening to him! We had toured the Arizona on our last visit to Hawaii and very much enjoyed that tour. Pearl Harbor is well organized and well worth the visit.

ビショップミュージアム 入場チケット事前予約

ビショップミュージアムとても良かった

Reviewed by: 横浜のハワイ大好きおじさん, 2024/03/31

バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。

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

Glorious Day!

Reviewed by: Stuart and Susan, 2024/03/27

The reservations are easy - and complete. I was still recuperating from a surgery, so we secured a mobility cart, which is right at the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The bus picks up from several points in Waikiki; it is comfortable and also waiting right at the entrance-exit after the show is over. The day is extraordinary - the staff is so friendly and helpful, as we asked questions at the various Islands. There is a river cruise you can take - the Center is 40 square miles (think Disneyland) so prepare your walking shoes and attire accordingly. Terrific shopping before the Center actually opens. Take a poncho, because there is a lot of rain on that side of the island - rains quickly, dries quickly.

The buffet is amazing and delicious, and a real bargain if you're feeding starving teens! The show is exquisite. They help park the mobility cart everywhere, so if you have mobility issues - worry not!

Enjoy as much as we did!

Wonderful Experience!

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess , 2024/03/20

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

On March 15th, 2024, I went to PCC and participated in the Gateway Buffet package. This experience included admission to the park, buffet, and show. Each village was unique, and educational. The canoe ride was my favorite part of the park, a must do!

The buffet dinner was INCREDIBLE, they had everything you could imagine. From salad, sides, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and dessert. The presentation of the food, and dinning hall felt like something out of a movie! They really set the scene for local cuisine.

'HA: Breath of Life,' show was spectacular a must see! The dancers were truly amazing! I would definitely go see it again and again. Everything about PCC was so professional, engaging, fun, and educational. There is something for the whole family.

I would recommend PCC to anyone who enjoys learning about different cultures, and has a full day to spend away from Waikiki.

Fun

Reviewed by: Destiny Paine, 2024/03/11

This was a full day activity. We stared on the canoe amd ended the one end. Walked to each village. At each village they are very informative on their culture. They have activities you can participate in or just watch their 15-20 min skits. The journey movies was quite amazing but moves a lot, but worth it. The buffet was absolutely the best I've ever been to! So much food to choose from. Plus there was live entertainment. We also stayed for the breath of life show, which was spectacular. Goosebumps for sure.

Pearl Harbor Guided Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri Tour by E Noa

Worth it

Reviewed by: Destiny Paine, 2024/03/11

Our bus tour guide was absolutely amazing! Juicy is his name. He was very informative and funny. He helped us with everything we needed and told us where to go. The pearl harbor site was breathe taking. They are all very informative at every site you go to. The Missouri is massive and takes awhile to see it all but it was very self explanatory and easy to do a self tour. It was all worth it!

Ultimate Pearl Harbor Tour with Arizona Memorial, USS Missouri & Aviation Museum

What a historical journey

Reviewed by: B Denney, 2024/02/21

As a whole, the experience to see and learn more about the terrible happenings on December 7, 1941 was an outstanding opportunity and well orchestrated.

The Arizona memorial was incredibly humbling. I never knew there are more than 900 souls still at rest below the memorial. Also, the endless oil leak from the ship was quite a surprise.

Now, to be honest, I thought we'd be walking on a glass bottom floor so one could see more of the ruins. But, as it was, with the displays available, the wall of names, etc., it was quite effective.

May God continue to bless all the lost souls, injured warriors, and their families.

Next, we toured the USS Missouri. What an amazing ship with displays to explain personnel jobs, their quarters, and all the cogs of the wheel it takes to operate and maintain such massive equipment. God bless our service men and women.

Finally, we walked through the air museum. It was very cool to see all of the various aircraft on display, with some still flying today! Sweet!

Lastly, the bus driver that picked us up from our hotel was quite entertaining and full of good information. He kept us informed and laughing as we drove through Honolulu and a fallen soldier cemetery on the way to Pearl Harbor. We learned about how the reservations work, native Hawaiian life and culture, and the MANY, MANY types of Spam there are in Hawaii! Woohoo... gotta love Spam :-)

Thanks you so much for this opportunity. Obvious, you are highly recommended!!!

Sincerely,

Reviewed by: Tara Radcliff, 2024/01/29

I had the best time on this tour. Our tour guide was amazing he was the best. The waterfall was awesome to swim in but you had to walk at least 30 min to get there which was not a bad hike at all. The scenery was beautiful and I even got a glimpse of a peacoke. The tour paid for coffee breakfast and lunch which was delicious. After the hike we went to Dole Plantation for dole whip which is pineapple ice cream.
