All Reviews for Hawaiian Cultural Activities

Very happy with service. It was my sisters very first trip to Hawaii so it was a nice surprise for her. She saw name in sign and didn't think it was for her

The show was great. But the food was not. The whole tour was way too long. If I were you, I would go just for the night show. You won't be regret!

The was an excellent experience right off the plane, the young lady that greeted us with our Lei was very friendly. Get a Lei right off the plane is highly recommended...

Had a great day out at the Polynesian cultural centre, shows were very entertaining, we had a buffet meal which was lovely, plenty of variety, then Ha, breath of life show that was just awesome, a fantastic end to a great day! Then sit back and relax on your bus back to Waikiki!!

This was the last night of our 8 day vacation, and it was the perfect ending. Beautiful costumes and choreography. Enjoyed the luau too.

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!

Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

The PCC, dinner, luau, and show were fantastic. The Island Tour itself was the sad part. Our driver was late and then we had to rush through all the sites, having barely time for a picture or look before having to reload.

Being greeted at the airport by a delightful Hawaiian with the traditional orchid lay she had made was a perfect start to a much anticipated trip. Our greeter was so friendly and informative. I would recommend this to anyone making a Hawaiian vacation for the first time. We wear our leis to dinner each night and still get comments

I visited the Bishop Museum with 15 members of my hula class and experienced a hula lesson. Although the hula teacher was absent and we had an assistant instead, I was very satisfied to receive an authentic hula lesson. Everything was explained in Japanese except for the hula teacher, which made it very easy to understand.

フラ教室メンバー１５名とビショップミュージアム見学と、フラレッスンを体験して来ました。
フラの先生は、先生が不在で助手の方でしたが、それでも、本場のフラレッスンを受ける事が出来て大満足です。
フラの先生以外は全て日本語でとても分かりやすかったです。

The flowers were perfect! We loved them!
We would recommend these Lei's!
They smelled so good!

My clients and the Leis connected at the airport and everyone is starting the vacation with the Aloha feel....

Best tour arrangements . Driver was very helpful and conciderate.He did his best to show us around as much as he could. Best service .

Awesome and super friendly tour guide, Keith.
Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Enjoyed the bus tour, but it gets you there 2 hours after it opens.
The center itself focuses too much on entertainment and not enough on education. It is run by the Morman education system, so one would think if we are supporting the students we in turn would be educated about the various Polynesian cultures around the pacific.

Thank you to Veltra for making our trip to Hawaii special. Reservations for leis at the airport and our excursion to Kualoa Ranch was easy to make and worth every penny. I appreciated the call reminders and the help I received on questions regarding reservations.

The Polynesian Center provides a learning environment rich in Polynesian culture. I enjoyed riding the canoe and watching the luau.

Great time, not to miss! Best time !! It was amazing.

We were greated as promised with two beautiful fresh lei's and a very polite helpful young girl. She was so pleasant and helped us order a shuttle to our hotel. Our lei lasted nearly 6 days!

You can be picked up near the hotel early in the morning and enjoy sightseeing.

You arrive at the Polynesian Cultural Center in the early afternoon and have a not-so-tasty lunch.

After that, you can enjoy various attractions on the island with the guide.

After dinner (I wasn't expecting much since lunch wasn't good, but the dinner was delicious, possibly because it was deluxe), we watched a magnificent show.

It was impressive with a large number of participants, and we had a great time.

Since the ending time is late, if you sleep on the bus ride back, you'll quickly arrive at your hotel in Honolulu.

I recommend it.

早朝ホテル近くでピックアップしていただき観光も楽しめます。
お昼過ぎにポリネシア文化センターに着きあまり美味しくないランチをいただきます。
その後担当のお兄さんと共に島内で色々なアトラクションを楽しみ
夕食後(昼食が美味しくなかったので期待してませんでしたがデラックスだったせいか夕食は美味しくいただきました)壮大なショーを見ました。
大人数で迫力があり楽しめました。
終了時間が遅いので帰りのバスの中で寝ているとあっという間にホノルルのホテルに到着します。
おすすめです。

Was a very nice and helpful greeting..
The Lei and Greeter was very Nice.

A must see experience for anyone visiting Oahu!
The Polynesian Cultural Center is an Awesome and Amazing Experience!!
Highly recommend to pay the extra for the Super Ambassador Package, We had reserved front row seats for every show and never had to wait in line, it’s well worth it.
The whole day was Fantastic! And the best part of this awesome experience was the “Breath of Life" Night Show after dinner was amazing!!
I would Love to come back...

The luau combined with the show was a perfect visit to the culture center. We all enjoyed the show! Amazing seats

I took my mother to Hawaii for the first time, and we participated in this activity where we could experience a museum, hula lessons, and lei making all at once. I've visited Hawaii many times before, but this place is an amazing hidden gem!!! The historical buildings are impressive, and the exhibits are wonderfully rich and engaging, making it easy to spend an entire day without getting bored. The hula lesson lasted a full hour, and the teacher was very easy to understand. Lei making was also fun, and my mother was very satisfied. I recommend this for both repeat visitors to Hawaii and first-timers!

母を初めてのハワイに連れて行くという事で、博物館・フラレッスン・レイメイキングと一度に体験できるこちらのアクティビティーに参加してみました。
これまで何度も訪れたハワイですが、ここは驚きの穴場！！！
歴史的建造物はすごいですし、陳列も素晴らしく充実していて一日居ても飽きない感じです。
フラレッスンもたっぷり１時間、とても分かりやすく教えてくださる先生で、レイメイキングも楽しく、母も大満足でした。ハワイのリピーターさんにも、初めてさんにもお勧めです！

I requested a surprise trip to celebrate my mother's birthday. I was very grateful that they kindly agreed to my request to include the message "Happy Birthday" next to her name on the card that would be held at the airport exit. On the day of the arrival, I was excited and nervous, expecting a warm Hawaiian welcome as I exited the airport. However, the person who greeted us was a girl in regular jeans and an aloha shirt. She was cute and very pleasant, but she blended in with the other staff to the point where it was a bit disappointing. That said, she did escort us to the rental car shuttle area, which was very courteous. I feel hesitant to give a low rating, but I believe a more festive welcome would really enhance the Hawaiian experience and boost the excitement. Therefore, I will give it two stars with hopes for improvement in the future.

母の誕生日祝い旅行という事でサプライズでお願いしました。
名前を書いたカードを持って空港の出口で待って頂けるとの事で、事前に“Happy Birthday”とメッセージを名前の横に入れて頂けるお願いした際、快く応じて下さったのはとてもありがたかったです。さて当日、さぞかしハワイらしさ満点のお出迎えかとドキドキして空港の出口を出たのですが、迎えてくれたのは普通のジーンズとアロハシャツを着た女の子―。可愛らしくとても感じは良かったのですが、他の添乗員さんに埋もれて分からないぐらいで、少々物足りない感じで残念でした。とは言え、レンタカーのシャトル乗り場まで見送ってくれたりととても丁寧な対応ではあったので、厳しい☆をつけるのは気が引けるのですが、もう少し華やかにお迎えしてもらえるとハワイ気分満点でテンションも上がると思うので、今後に期待して☆２つとさせて頂きます。

Nice touch to trip/vacation. Gal was very sweet, pleasant, happy. Took our picture, walked us to baggage claim, chatted, smiled, answered our questions...

The lei was beautiful and lasted a full 11 days until we through them into to the sea with thoughts to return again to Hawaii's tropical paradise.

Wonderful welcome to Hawaii! Very refreshing after the long flight and they were very helpful in helping us locate our transport and even offering to carry our bags!

Mahalo!

I applied for the deluxe course on behalf of my parents, who are over 60.

As for the meals, while they were considered deluxe from a Japanese palate perspective, they were a bit lacking. However, they had a lot of fun riding canoes, and the bus guide shared various stories along the way. They were very active during the day, so they thought they might be too tired to stay awake for the show, but the fire dance was so impressive that it woke them up! They mentioned it with a laugh.

還暦過ぎの両親の代わりにデラックスコースを申し込みました。

食事は、日本人の味覚からするとデラックスでも、うーん？…だったそうですが、カヌーに乗ったり、バスのガイドさん？も行き掛けに色々な話をしてくれたそうで、とても楽しかったようです。
日中、目一杯活動するのでショーの時間にはもう疲れて眠っちゃうかも、と思ったそうですが、ファイヤーダンスなどがあまりにも迫力があったそうで、目が覚めた！と話しておりました。笑

It Was great time and all of steffs are very kind and friendly.
If u are foreigner , do not worry about language problem because they could be speak your language who work in PCC.
