Oahu
Very friendly greeting, after a long flight was a great pick me up for my wife! our greeter walked us to our connecting flight to make sure we got to the right spot for the next flight and was very friendly and informative. Very nice way to start our vacation!
Aloha Bill,
I'm glad we could make you and your wife happy! It is always great to hear how much our visitors to our islands enjoy our greetings! Have a great vacation here, Amy.
Be prepared for a long day. Did not get back to hotel until 11pm. Night show was excellent and luau was fun. The food at the luau was a bit disappointing.
Had a fantastic day and our driver / guide (Jason) was very informative, funny and had an excellent knowledge of the islands history and culture. As a first time visitor to the islands, I would highly recommend this excursion especially the Polynesian
cultural centre as the 'Ha' breath of life show is out of this world and should not be missed !!!!!

We had a fantastic time at this activity. We would encourage anyone attending for the first time to spend the extra on the ambassador package. There is so much to see and there is now way to get it all in one day and the tour guide will make sure you get to participate in all the live shows they put on there as well as re-entry into the park for another day to see everything else. It is a family friendly environment with the no alcohol on the premises and operated almost entirely by university students from the polynesian islands, so you can get a real feel for the many different cultures and peoples represented. overall it was awesome and well worth the time and money.
This tour should be experienced by all who visit the Hawaiian Islands. We attended this tour because my parents who travelled with us had participated in it 20 years ago said it was a must see. I knew very little about the Polynesian Culture before attending and the by the time it was over, my family and I were in awh of this culture. We attended with our two children ages 12&14 and they also loved it. Learning about the other countries who are part of the polynesian culture had us asking questions at every turn, participating in some of the games they play on the different islands had us all with smiles not to mention the wonderful show at days end. We paid for the Super Ambassador Package, yes a more costly package but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! You will learn much more about this amazing culture and the many islands by having your own guide. Our guide's name was Sepa, a truly amazing and inspiring young lady from the Islands of Tonga. Not only did we experience many of the polynesian islands while at the PCC but through Sepa we were able to learn from someone personally who lived as this tour depicts. We will always have fond memories of our time spent at the PCC as well as our time with Sepa.
The show and grounds were very good but the food was just so- so. Only had a few dishes to choose from, the only good thing was the pork.
We got picked up from the hotel at 10am and brought to the cultural center where we were asked to pay $25 for the tour guide and lunch. we didn't feel like having such a big lunch so we did not take the offer. There were too many people and we hardly see anything. The Luau was so so and the line was too long. We rather spend the quality time near the beach sipping some cold beer.
Fun Times had by all. The only hiccup was when my card got 'frozen' because their machine was dirty. Tour guide with Ben was awesome! Very knowledgeable and made tons of suggestions of things to do after the tour. Definitely would recommend again... if only for the show in the evening.
My husband, son and I had a great time. We got there at noon and did the whole day including luau and show. We went thru every village and watched all the dances and there village life. So beautiful and full of pride. The luau was very good along with the entertainment but the show, Ha The Breath of Life, was the best. I suggest to all who visit not to miss the show!
Amazing experience! Loved the show. Tour with Ben was awesome! Upgraded our Ha tickets for free due to issues with credit cards. Picked up and dropped off from our hotel for a nominal fee.
The circle island tour seemed rushed and we didn't stop anywhere once we passed the Dole Plantation. We basically cruised passed all the beaches on the north shore. Diamondhead was looked at from the front side but nothing was really brought up about it. The things we saw were nice but I wish we would have had more time exploring them. Once we got to the PCC this were great. The performers were top notch and the show was very educational and entertaining. The food was excellent and non-stop. The half day at the PCC was more than enough to see everything I wanted to see. Once the tour guide picked us up, we heard a little too much about his personal life for the hour plus ride home. My recommendation is if you want to see the entire island for a tour, don't include the PCC as a stop and just do it on another day.
Our family of 7 attended the Polynesian cultural center luau and night show. Got great prices and was easy to book on my phone.
when we stepped off the plane and walked about 100 ft there was a young girl standing there with a placard and my name was on it smiling. She put them on and said aloha! very friendly!!
Aloha Patti!
It is great to hear how much you enjoyed your lei greeting experience! Mahalo for letting us know!
Amy
Had a wonderful time at the Hyatt Luau - great food, drinks, and entertainment.
What a beautiful way to see the different cultures of all the Pacific Islands. A wonderful Luau. Everything was well worth it.
Started with a very entertaining bus ride to the PCC!
Our tour of PCC was great because of the events including the boat parade and tasting food. But our guide Cousin Betty made the day special. Having Betty available to explain PCC to us was awesome and so is Betty!
Dinner was good we Loved the Coconut Balls.
Ha, Breath of Life performance was a perfect ending to our day at PCC.
If visiting Hawaii for the first time, this place is definitely a must-do! Very informative, FUN and a great all-day experience. Staff were very courteous, funny and food was quite delicious! I'd like to personally thank Manu, our tour instructor, as he knew all our names and stories by the end of the day, such a nice gentleman! You will leave this place wanting to visit other islands such as Tahiti, Samoa, and Fiji. You end your visit at the PCC with an awesome dance show, which is a must see! Overall had a really great time with my family.
Awesome Lei!!! My wife and daughter loved wearing them!! They were extremely beautiful!!!
Aloha Lorenzo,
Mahalo for your fabulous comment! I'm so happy that you and your family loved wearing the leis. That is the exact response we want to earn from you! Please have a safe trip in Hawaii and I hope you make some fabulous memories together!
Mahalo,
Amy
Definitely worth doing. I would highly recommend doing this activity at the beginning of your trip as you would need more than one day to explore what it has to offer.
Was very skeptical at first but oh my was I wrong!!!! Circle tour was outstanding the cultural center was an eye opening extravaganza !! Wish there was more time
The Lei was beautiful! Lasted for days! I hung the Lei on our balcony! It looked lovely hanging.
Aloha Bridgett,
I love it that you enjoyed your lei so much! One of my leis I received last year is still hanging in my room as well! Take care and I wish you all the best.
Mahalo,
Amy
The lie was beautiful and the greeter was very pleasant. I am glad I booked one.
P.S. I love this pic of your lei in the shape of a heart on your bed. Fantastic!! -Amy
I recently booked a Lei Greeting for my daughter and son-inlaw. They were so impressed with the service. The greeter was extremely friendly and went out her way to help with luggage and shuttle service. They also received many compliments on beauty and quality of their Leis from total strangers.
Aloha Stephanie,
Mahalo for the wonderful comment. I'm very happy to hear that they received such a pleasant experience from our leis!

Honolulu Lei Greetings
Visited for first time. Upgraded to ambassador level and it was worth every penny. Would have missed so much without a guide. Can't see all in a day so we will return again in the future.
As this was my wife's first trip to Hawaii, we visited the center. I'd never been before either.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and our guide. We paid for the Ambassador level and it was worth every penny as you are guided through the center with a personal touch.
The center was very informative and the luau was very good.
We'll be returning again as there is so much to see and learn that it can't be covered in ine day, even with a guide.
Took the 1/2 day excursion but wish I had time to do the full day. There was such a strong feeling of joy and energy during all the performances. The imagine theater, the newest attraction was amazing. The Luau was great the the final performance was amazing, such talent and energy, no shows we saw on the cruise ship we were on could compare
Ordered the medium (forgot the correct term) upgrade lei for my mom and it was lovely and lush but too heavy for her tiny senior citizen body. I didn't think about it being heavy! She counted 250 blossoms. It was beautiful and impressive and got comments from locals so must have been special. The greeter offered to walk us to baggage claim but we declined and got lost. The order form said orchids or plumeria or mix and I wish we could've chosen plumeria but maybe they were out of season. I didn't think to tip the greeter until we walked away and lost her. Sorry!
Aloha!
Thank you for your great review! I agree, many people are surprised just how heavy a flower lei can be (especially when the order the deluxe size!) Nevertheless, I hope the both of you enjoyed your time here and made a lot of lasting memories!

excellent. Jason was amazing. His knowledge of the area extensive
My parents were suprised and had rave reviews to say about their Honolulu Airport Lei Greeting. They were so thankful for the help the greeting women provided at the airport. This was their first time taveling to Hawaii and they enjoyed Hawaii's true hospitality.
Thank you for your service!
Mahalo for your wonderful review! I will definitely let our greeters know what a great job they did for your parents. They will be happy to hear it! I hope their trip in Hawaii is the best and wish them an exciting exploration of our islands!
Much aloha,
Amy
