Reviewed by: 一人旅

Although our arrival was delayed and we arrived in the rain, we were warmly welcomed by a smiling staff member wearing a purple aloha shirt and holding a green nameplate. Not only did they provide us with leis, but they also had several Japanese free magazines and cookies ready in a tote bag, which made us happy to have access to local information right after arriving at the hotel. They also took care of our transportation to the hotel and guided us to the pickup point. Thank you for the sense of security from the very beginning of our trip!

到着時間は遅れ、雨の中の到着でしたが、
目印の紫のアロハ、緑地のネームプレート、
笑顔で出迎えて下さいました。
レイだけではなく、何冊かの日本語のフリー雑誌やクッキー等も手提げ袋に用意していて下さり、ホテルに着いてから、すぐに現地の情報に触れられ嬉しかったです。
ホテルまでの足も気にして、乗り場まで案内して戴きました。
旅の始まりから安心感をありがとう御座いました!

A Day To Remember

Reviewed by: Jeanette Incognoli

Everyone was very friendly and made us feel so welcome. All staff including the bus operators were wonderful. We learned so much about the Hawaiian culture, very proud people. We visited all the villages with a tour guide, had lunch. We attended the luau and celebrated our 50th anniversary on the stage, we were presented with a lei and we danced with other couples that were also celebrating their anniversary . We went onto see their wonderful indoor show. We really had a great time.

  • Wonderful homes with a history.

Polynesian Cultural Center Admission Tickets & HĀ Breath of Life Evening Show

Immersion into Polynisia

Reviewed by: Sandy Jamison

We had not been to the Polynesian Cultural Center since our honeymoon 26 years ago. I'm so glad we decided to go back. It is a magical place that takes you on a journey to many different cultures and lands. It's fun, it's exciting, and it's educational. You meet so many interesting and wonderful people along the way that love to tell you about their traditions and their lands.

The food was fabulous and then came the finale show of the evening. It was well thought out, magically produced and choreographed and told a very valuable story.

This is definitely a do not miss event for anyone visiting Oahu!

Polynesian Cultural Center Admission Tickets & HĀ Breath of Life Evening Show

Great chill experience!

Reviewed by: Nick

We came to the polynesian center on the last evening of our Hawaii trip, and it was definitely a full day event. We saw shows and performances basically non stop from Noon to 5:30 PM and got to the buffet dinner on time. The only negative thing I’d have to say is the dinner is so-so quality and not polynesian themed (as we had hoped), and the guy serving the roast beef is probably the most silent and angry server we’ve ever met lol... also true to another review mentioned, food was basically near shortage or out completely after ~45 minutes of the scheduled start time even though it’s supposed to go for another 45 minutes.

The shows in general were very informative and entertaining, some extremely humorous. We also had tickets to the night show Ha, and that was a huge highlight.

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More

Airport Lei Greeting

Reviewed by: Cynthia

My Lei greeter was absolutely wonderful. Very kind and knowledgeable. My shuttle was running late & she stayed with me until it arrived.
This was my 17th time to Hawaii and in previous years I used a previous Lei Greeting Company & an elderly man was my Lei greeter. He was so rude I had to change companies. I'm very pleased with this company and I highly recommend them. I recommend them to all my friends who visit Oahu.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Cynthia!

We are very pleased to have your positive review! I remember your situation from before, and it was very odd because our only elderly man is such a wonder and does not know anything but Aloha. Regardless, your greeter, Jhannadette, is always such a fun woman to work with. Her "spunk" is what makes airport greetings in Honolulu such fun, and I am glad you were able to experience it this time around. We hope to have the opportunity again to serve you in the future!

Mahalo!

We were greeted right outside of our gate once we arrived in Honolulu. Our flight was even delayed over an hour and the amazing representative was still there! She greeted both of us with a friendly "aloha" and adorned our leis in the traditional style. She escorted us to our bag claim and even took a photo for us with our beautiful leis. She was very informative about places to see and things to do also. It was our first time to come to Hawaii and I ghwould definitely recommend this timeless custom to anyone who travels here!

We spent full day at Polynesian Cultural Center, it was great to learn different type of Polynesian islands. Our guide was Jargel, she was good, she took us to all the best shows on PCC.

Luau dinner was good, A lot of food selections to choose for.
We got 2 leis . One is made from Kui nuts and other one made from orchids.

They picked up and sent us back to Waikiki, all staffs are very friendly and helpful. This is one of very good attractions you should do when you visit the island. We had a good time there.

It was better than I expected. 予想以上によかった

Reviewed by: なるちゃん

I wanted to do hula, so my 8-year-old daughter and I participated. Since there were two of us, the tour was held.

On the day of the tour, it was just the two of us, which felt like a private experience—very luxurious!

The Japanese staff at the Bishop Museum kindly guided us around both inside and outside the museum.

Since both my daughter and I practice hula, we had discussions related to hula, which were very educational!

I thought it was a tour that would be very beneficial for anyone who does hula.

Of course, we also learned a hula song. Although the kumu hula was absent, the substitute teacher, who was a man, was very kind and friendly, making it enjoyable to learn hula.

Our 5-year-old son also practices hula, but he couldn't participate since he is under 8.

It was a tour that made me want to let my son join as well.

Circle Isle tour and Polynesian Cultural Center

Reviewed by: Cheryl Cooke

I was disappointed with the circle Island Tour as it felt rushed and we only had a half hour at the Dole Plantation which was sufficient only to get something to eat very quickly and see nothing else. The Polynesian Cultural Center was marvelous, great luau, great show. Our driver was a very sweet man but tended to preach and too frequently interspersed his own Christian beliefs. He also mentioned, way too often, the High Cost of Living and the low wages. He is very knowledgeable with regard to the price of real estate on the island, about which I really have no interest.

Pretty amazing show

Reviewed by: Sakhom

It's a mixing for all the polynesian shows from each countries to a made-up area where you can see them all at one time. All the shows were well made and prepared, but you have to time and manage the priority to make sure to see them all in one go. It's great for those who never seen them before, but we did see similar from other countries, so it's not that exciting.

Interesting.

Reviewed by: Rosemary

It was fun seeing the different Polynesian cultures, but it was a bit too long of a day. We checked in at noon and didn't leave the grounds until 10:30 at night. You walk around the stores and different villages that are set up, then you have your luau, which is a buffet. That was nice. When you are done with that, you have 2 - 21/2 hours to kill before the show "HA- breath of life" (which was very good). It would have been OK, but the villages closed up, so you had nothing to do before the show. We had an OK time.
