All Reviews for Hawaiian Cultural Activities

I did pay for the tour of back stage but did recive it. other then that it was a great package..

I had an absolutely fabulous time. I had a personal guide, Stephanie, and she was great. Assisted me when I needed it. Kept my camera and took my picture with everything. II was treated like royalty by her. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the islands. And I would recommend the Super Ambassador tour. I don't have any pictures uploaded yet so cannot include any at this time.

Wow, where do I begin? We enjoyed the PCC alot! We were greeted at the pick up point by positive and pleasent staff. When we boarded the bus we were entertained all the way to the center. Our guide was Cuz Ken and he was very professional and entertaning. The day was full of events starting with lunch and then leading on to a series of islands. Each island had a unique cultrual display of dancing and interaction with the audience. We were busy all day, from 10:30am to 10:30pm. The lunch and dinner were very nicely organized and presented. We were so moved by the evening show "The Breath of Life", we bought the dvd! We would recommend this tour to anyone!

We went on a guided tour arrive at the Cultural Center @ 2pm. That's the way to go if you have limited time and what to navigate the park and catch as many of the mini-shows at each village as possible. Our guide set a leisurely pace, so the group and older folks can stick together.

The food at the luau was medicore. But the village experience and the night show, HA waws great!

The shuttle ride fom Wakiki was informative. It was a wonderful way to explore more of the island on limited time and budget. The Cultural Center was amazing. The staff went above and beyond expectations. The dinner was just average. I expectected a higher quality of food. Did not go back for seconds so I had more time to explore the Cultural Center.

Amazing!!! We had the opportunity to learn about the history and people of Polynesia. Very entertaining and interactive. We had the Super Ambassador package which basically means VIP. We had front row seating to all shows, our own personal guided tour and dvd. Our guide, cousin Spencer went beyond the call of duty to make our experience the most enjoyable time we have ever had. Alo'ha!!!!

Wow! The cruise was wonderful. We bought the 3-star package and the food was excellent, the service was great. Our server was perfect and made us feel pretty special. The show after dinner was top-notch, too, and a lot of fun. We did not cruise as far as we might have, but the weather was not cooperating. Can't help that. The highlight of our Honolulu vacation!

Selected Ambassador package and got a guided tour as part of it. Guide was fine, but we were not able to look around the "villages." Instead, we only went from one presentation to the next, missing portions of some of them, and then it was time for the luau. Interesting, but not outstanding. The facility should open earlier in the day. For the price, you should at least have time to see most of it. Luau food was not particularly good, lunch menu was better, and the "show" during the luau left a lot to be desired. "Ha", the show afterwards was very good, however.

Being greeted by a pretty Hawaiin girl is just great. Angie was just thrilled. Kudos, to the young lady, She was very nice in helping us out of the Airport.

.Had a great time with luau and show. We opted for late day entry as we don't walk very much. We saw 2 villages and shows and had a leisurely dinner , time to shop and on to the show. Fabulous. EVERYONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN TO HAWAII OR HAS BEEN AND NOT SEEN THE SHOW SHOULD ATTEND .

This was a great experience. We were greeted in a very timely manner. Though our flight was late. Not only was she very pleasant, outgoing, and informative, she assisted us in contacting our limo service which was over an late and keep us company until they arrived. The lei is perfect and gave us real sense of welcome.
Aloaha.

Buying flowers for teenage boys is always a gamble, but Maleia (spelled wrong) was simply wonderful. She welcomed my teenage grandsons and I with open arms of Hawaiian friendship, set the tone for our entire vacation and even stayed with us when our luggage was lost and escorted us to the shuttle bus for our rental car...and, Oh! - the three lei's were breathtakingly beautiful! This was a wonderful experience! Mahalo!

This was a surprise for our first-time to Oahu (40th Birthday Celebration). It was so nice to receive after a long plane flight, not to mention the lei quality! We also received valuable "airport" tips for our trip home as well as great ideas of things to do on the islands. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend!

The story performed, Breath of Life, was a perfect show for Christmas. For a short time I forgot I was in Hawaii in the warmth and back home in snow and the true meaning of Christmas --- thank you to all for your hard work.

I am so happy that I was able to participate on this activity - it was WONDERFUL! I loved my Cousin Lloyd who was my group guide... everyone was wonderful, friendly, informative, and very respectful of their responsibilities - portraying to us the visitors a part of history and sharing of their culture. Everyone was funny, attentive and kind. I loved it! I will definitely do this again for my future visits. The Luau was delicious and Ha: The Breath of Life was incredible... too bad the video was not available for me to bring for my family to see in AZ. A big thanks for everyone that makes this possible from funding, to costumes, practices, etc... I truly appreciate all the work and effort involved in this. God bless!

I did this as a surprise for my daughter, she loved it. She was greeted as she got off the plane and after receiving the lei the agent helped take her to baggage claim.
Great experience!
Thanks

It was so nice to have your staff member waiting with sign for our Leis...I was thrilled..

My husband and I booked the Ambassador package which provided a small group guided tour. DeGe, our guide, was knowledgeable and funny. The tour didn't give us much time to see each village but the center is too big to be seen in one day so, with DeGe, we were able to see a little bit of everything. The luau was fun and the food was good. The Ha performance was also very entertaining. Well worth the money for the package.

This was a wonderful reception to Hawaii. The Lei Greeter was so helpful to us. She greeted us, gave us our leis, took us over to get out bags from the airport terminal, and helped us get information about sites and events in Hawaii. Wonderful, Wonderful!! We would recommend this to anyone traveling to Hawaii, especially your first time.

My parents flew to Hawaii for the first time and I wanted to make sure they were greeted the "Aloha Way" with a beautiful, fresh Hawaiian Lei.
Before they left, I mentioned to them to pay attention for their names when they land in Hawaii. Amazing! The lady was waiting and my parents LOVED IT!! It started their vacation on a great note. My mom was so surprised and thrilled. She wore her lei all week!! It's been 10 days and the lei is still full bloom, fresh and gorgeous. I drove over to their house last night and saw it myself. She brought it back! She was so excited and the one point she made, "my lei was much bigger and fuller than everyone else's". She felt special. It was very nice. Thank you so much!! A million mahalo's!!

First timers in Hawaii. We booked the Ambassador package, which came with a tour guide. She was quick to get us from one village show to another, getting us good seats.
We learned some pretty interesting things from the different villages about different cultures.
The food was ok. Nothing to turn backflips over. The "Ha: Breathe of Life" night show was nice. My wife loved it, which was very important.
KAP TAFITI, THE SOMOAN GUY IS VERRRRRY FUNNY!
Overall great experience!
Save your tickets. You have 3 days after to return and revisit villages at no extra charge. We just had to see the Somoan guy.

This was nice after such a long flight. Seeing our names when we got of the plane and being escorted to the bagage claim was nice, the leis were so beautiful and everyone commented on them asking us where we got them. They were WAY WAY nicer then the ones they sold at booths in the airport. I recommend this if you are celebrating something special or if it is your first time in Hawaii. Loved it :) They lasted days!!!!

We had a wonderful time at the center and the lua was great. We had a tour guide with us that allowed us to probably see more things but at the same time we couldn't really wander off on our own to see things that interested us. Overall it was a great day and would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

Our trip to Oahu began beautifully when Amanda met us at the airport with the lovely Hawaiian leis and sweet Aloha. These are gorgeous real flowers and they lasted the entire week we were there. Amanda was very cheerful and kind, took us to get our baggage and made sure we knew how to get a taxi to our hotel. She chatted about some local area attractions and was a welcoming start to our vacation. Landing in a strange place for the first time, it was nice to see someone there waiting for us and welcoming us to their area. Makes the Hawaiian vacation authentic and what we all think of when we think of Hawaii. Thanks, Amanda!!

This is a must do for first time travelers to Hawaii!! They were waiting on us as we got off the plane, hold a sign with our names on it!! It was a great experience!!!

This is the second time I've taken advantage of this activity. The staff meets right at the plane and makes the experience a unforgetable start to a Hawaiian vacation.
The staff is outstanding, the lei's are beautiful, and the experience well worth the price.

Had a great time!!

Our driver/guide was awesome. I won't forget him! I can't recall his name because it was extremely long, but he did an EXCELLENT job guiding us through the island during our drive to PCC. This is our first time to Oahu and he did such a great job in getting us familiar with the area. He was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome, like we were his own Ohana. He made sure everyone knew which luau we were supposed to go to, where the main theater was, and even where to meet up afterwards for the drop off back to the hotel.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is an AMAZING place! Theres a 15 minute boat ride that takes u around the center to visit the different villages.

The luau was entertaining with great food!

The show was INCREDIBLE!! I really enjoyed watching all the dances. Especially the fire ring guys!!

We went for the late entry and we thought it was still well worth it! Definitely a must go.. and a must go again!!!

We were picked up at our hotel by Henry. He was an excellent driver and guide. We learned so much from him and loved his sense of humor. Will definately come back so that we can spend more time at the PCC. There is so much to experience and learn. The Luau and show were great

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
