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

Slightly dissapointing

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I had gone to this Luau about 20 years prior and had a very favorable memory of it. This time, I have to say, was disappointing. First off, I bought the half day package. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding or what, but our driver ( I also paid for transportation) said that our guide couldn't make it, so he took us on a tour when we got there. I felt the tour was rushed and not very impressive. I suppose for the half day, you shouldn't expect much.

He then took us to dinner a little late, and we were seated in the waaay back of the line, which makes a difference. The tables go to the buffet in order, so if you are towards the back, it's slim pickin's. The buffet itself was average, although considering what we paid, was below average for the price. I didn't get to see anything of the cooking of the pig or anything about the traditions, again, maybe because I was late.

The show, however, was as billed. There were many many different dances, and the dan

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

What we imagined a luau to be!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii and definitely wanted to attend a luau. After checking out all the reviews several times, we decided on this one. We opted for the deluxe dinner package w/ VIP seating and it was well worth it. The only downside to the whole trip was that the bus was late leaving the pickup point (seems to be a regular problem with them for some reason but you quickly learn the meaning of "Hawaii time") so we had less time to check out the grounds but a great time anyway. Cousin Kahale was quite entertaining on the bus and had explained everything to us by the time we got there. Once we arrived we received our leis and were whisked away to begin our VIP treatment. We had a personal escort take us inside, get our complimentary photos taken at the entrance and given a personal tour of the grounds and where to find everything. I would definitely recommend bringing several bucks extra in cash if you're like me and love getting the full experience,

I joined in the afternoon, but by the time I arrived, the canoe show had already started. I wanted to see it from the beginning... I also wanted to visit more villages and experience some crafts. It was disappointing... The night horizon was wonderful!

It's amazing! とにかく凄い!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We are two aunts who love Hawaii.
We participated in this tour where Japanese was not understood while we were learning English conversation.
We were the last to be picked up, and as soon as we got on the bus, the atmosphere was incredibly lively. Although we didn't understand the meaning, we had a great time.
We took photos with the dancers at the entrance, and those who wanted could buy them later, but since we didn't need the photos, I wish we could have skipped that part from the beginning. I felt a bit guilty for not buying them.
We participated in various performances, watched the show while having dinner, and the return bus was full of energy.
It was an experience unlike anything I had ever had before.
Thank you, our guide Poma'i.
I want to improve my English skills and participate again.

ハワイ大好きのおばさん二人です。
英会話学習中で日本語が通じないこのツアーに参加しました。
私たちが最後のピックアップで、バスに乗車したとたん中は凄い盛り上がりで、意味がわからなかったけれど楽しかったです。
入口でダンサーと写真を撮っり、ほしい人は後で買うのですが、私たちは写真はいらなかったので、はじめからスルーできたらよかったと思いました。買わないことにちょっと罪悪感が残りました。
いろいろなパホーマンスに参加したり、食事をしながらショーを見て、また帰りのバスも元気一杯。
今まで味わったことのない体験でした。
ガイドのポーマイさんありがとう。
もっと英語力を付けて、また参加したいです。

Memories of Hawaii ハワイの思い出

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I think this luau show is special. For those who want to spend a memorable Hawaiian night and enjoy the charm of the magnificent dances and spiritual Hawaiian hula, it will surely be a lifelong memory. The location is also fantastic; you can enjoy hula while being tickled by the pleasant sea breeze near the beach, listening to the sound of the waves, and watching the beautiful sunset glowing in vibrant orange.

What makes this show special is its location and atmosphere. You can't experience this in the middle of Waikiki. While being on Oahu, it has a neighborly vibe, and people from the mainland flock to participate in this show, which is said to be the most popular in Waikiki.

I really enjoyed conversing with a family from San Francisco that I met there. I will definitely participate again.

このルアウショーは特別だと思います。特別なハワイアンの夜の思い出を過ごしたい方、華麗な踊りとスピリチュアルなハワイアン・フラの魅力を堪能されたい方、一生の思い出に残すこと間違いなしです。ロケーションも、オーシャンフロント、鮮やかなオレンジ色に輝くきれいなサンセットを見ながら、波の音が聞こえるビーチのそばで、心地よい潮風にくすぐられ、フラを楽しむことができます。

 このショーのスペシャルなところは、そのロケーションと雰囲気です。ワイキキの街中では絶対に味わえません。オアフに居ながらネイバーの雰囲気があり、本土の人もこぞってこのショーへ参加し、ワイキキの中では一番人気だそうです。

 一緒になったサンフランシスコから来たという家族と会話も楽しむことが出来て本当に良かったです。また絶対参加します。

The fun journey begins from the bus that picks you up at the hotel. Even the slightly long ride is exciting with the guide's entertaining stories, so you won't get bored. The show features magnificent stage setups and powerful dances that are truly impressive. The seats prepared by Alan were in the best location, allowing us to feel the performance up close. The ice cream served during the break is huge and delicious!

Polynesian Cultural Center Admission Ticket with 6 Island Villages & Canoe Ride

Had a blast and learned a lot!

Reviewed by: Lisa T.

I went to PCC with my hubby and his family who are originally from Fiji. This was a lot of fun for my son and I and I learned quite a bit about my hubby's culture and the culture of surrounding islands.

The Samoan village was a lot more laid back than the other villages. They really try to get a laugh out of you. I don't remember the guys name... but he talked about his culture and he was making little jokes left and right.

The Fijian village was a lot more serious but just as fun. The did a lot of dances for us and even brought my mother-in-law on stage to dance with them. My son and I got fake Fijian tattoos that meant "warrior" and "queen" and since my hubby used to work at PCC we got a personal tour from him and his old boss.

The night show was very entertaining. Especially at the end with the Samoans brought the fire into the show.

I would definitely go again. We had a blast.

I was travelling alone, but with all the cousins I met I had a blast. Even the bus ride to Paradise Cove was fun because cousin Trina was awesome!

I payed for the Deluxe VIP package and was happy with it because as soon as I was at my table I didn't have to leave. I was brought my very tasty dinner to my table, as well as drinks whenever I needed. I would definately recommend this especially for groups or people celebrating something.

Reviewed by: watanabe

This time, participating in the Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show was a truly memorable day. As mentioned in the title, there was a bit of a mishap. The bus was supposed to pick us up from the hotel for the tour, but we completely misunderstood the meeting point for tomorrow's tour and ended up at the gathering place for the Hyatt Regency at 4 PM instead of Ohana Waikiki West! Well, since the tour bus had arrived there before 4 PM, we were waiting in line without any worries, but the guide seemed to notice something was off. It was then that we realized we had made a mistake and hurried to Ohana! Half of us ran, while the other half lagged behind! It turned out that the bus was indeed for that tour… The latecomers managed to get on the bus, while half of us didn’t.

Somehow, we managed to get on the bus and became quite famous among the passengers. Most of the participants were foreigners, and since the guide didn't speak Japanese, that added to the confusion. However, since we were in a foreign country, we wanted to be as far away from Japanese people as possible. Everyone was friendly, and even with broken English, it was more than enough! The attractions before dinner and the show were also great. We got to ride in a canoe, make head leis, and play around with various activities. Before we knew it, it was time for the show!

The show was incredibly impressive. We are quite familiar with Hawaii (having been there 7 or 8 times), but this was a really good tour with rich content that allowed us to enjoy both the foreign atmosphere and Hawaii. I think it’s a fantastic tour. On the way back, they even took photos for us until the very end. That’s probably why so many foreigners gather for it. I would love to participate again.

今回、このルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーに参加させて頂きとても思い出になる一日でした。タイトルにある様にハプニングというのは、ツアー参加のためにホテルまでバスで迎えに来て貰えるのですが、なんと私達は明日のツアーの集まる所と全く勘違いをしていて私達は4時にオハナワイイキキウエストなのにハイアットリージェンシーの集まり場に来てしまっていて!まぁそこに4時前にそのツアーのバスは来ていた為、何も気にせずに並んでたのですがガイドさんが何かおかしい様子。そこで私達も集まる所を間違ったと気づき急いでオハナへ!が我々の半分は走り、半分は少し出遅れ!所がそのバスはそのツアーのバスだった様で…。出遅れチームはバスに乗れ、半分は…。
とか何とかでなんだカンダでバスに乗れ一躍バスの中では有名人。そう、なんとこのツアーはほとんどが外人。ガイドも日本語通じないのでこんな事に。が、やはり海外に来たからには日本人とはなるべく離れたい。皆フレンドリーで片言英語でも十分!また内容も夕食&ショーの前のアトラクションがまたいい。カヌーに乗ったり頭のレイやプレス、色々遊んでくれました。あっという間に時間がたちショーの時間!
これまた迫力ありあり。私たちは結構ハワイのリピーターですが(7.8回)行ってますが。なかなか良いツアーで内容濃いし外国またハワイを堪能でき、すごく良いツアーだと思います。帰りも最後まで写真の対応をしてくれたり。だからこそ外国の方々も集まるのだろう。また参加したいです。

Reviewed by: yoshi

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating. The seating is determined by the meal, but even the standard option is enjoyable enough. Since it's an outdoor stage, it was a bit cold for the season, and I didn't understand the language at all, but even with those factors, the powerful dances, comedic performances, and hula mixed together made the time fly by.

If I get tired of the beach, I would like to participate in various attractions at the Polynesian Cultural Center starting in the morning.

何度かハワイに行ってますが、今回初めて参加しました。
食事によって席が決まりますが、スタンダードでも十分楽しめます。
野外ステージの為、時期的に寒く、言葉は全然わかりませんが、それらを差し引いても

We participated in an optional tour that was very Hawaiian for my parents' first trip to Hawaii with our family of nine.

Since it included transportation and meals, we could enjoy our trip without worrying about arranging cars or making restaurant reservations, even if it got late at night.

My parents seemed to enjoy the Samoan show the most. The evening show "Horizon" was also amazing. The ice cream we had during the break of the show was delicious too.

父母の初ハワイ旅行の時9人の家族で、ハワイらしいオプショナルツアーということで、参加しました。

送迎付きですし、食事もついているので、大人数のハワイ旅行でも、車の手配や、レストランの予約の心配をすることなく夜遅くなっても安心して参加できました。

父母は、サモアのショーが、一番楽しかったようです。
イブニングショー「ホライズン」もすごかったです。ショーの休憩中に食べた、アイスクリームもおいしかったです。
