Oahu
This was a wonderful experience. The Makani staff were very funny and friendly. Food was great. We had a very good time and would definetly recommend this activity.
Our greeter was very friendly and seemed to be hawaiian, which was good. This was exactly what we paid for and expected.
This is my fifth time visiting Hawaii. I was surprised to find such an impressive theme park at the edge of Oahu Island!
I felt the love for their culture from the people of Hawaii, as well as the Polynesians, and their passion for preserving their traditions.
On our first family trip to Hawaii, I brought my high school son with me, and inspired by the energetic international students guiding us around the park, he kept saying, "I want to study abroad in Hawaii!"
Well, if my child studies abroad, it means more opportunities for me to visit Hawaii (laughs).
ハワイ5回目のリピーターです。
あんなオアフ島の島の端に、あんな見応えがあるテーマパークがあることに驚き！
ハワイの人はもとより、ポリネシアの人たちの自分たちへの文化への愛情と言うか伝統を残そうと言う情熱を感じました。
はじめての家族でのハワイ旅行で、高校生の息子を連れて行ったのですが、園内を案内する元気一杯の留学生のお兄さんたちに触発されたのか、｢ハワイに留学したい！｣と言って聞きません。。。
まぁ子供が留学すれば、親がハワイに行く楽しみが、増えますね（笑）

The young lady that was there to greet us was very nice and friendly. She offered to take our picture - a thoughtful gesture. It was a surprise for my husband and he enjoyed it very much. Thank you!
I participated on a Friday in February 2008. I love Hawaii and have been there many times, but this was the first time I felt so much like I was in a foreign country. No matter where I went, there were Japanese people, and even when I spoke in English, I was responded to in Japanese in Waikiki... but this tour was different. My husband and I participated, but everyone else was foreign.
All the staff were also foreign, but the captain had lived in Osaka before and spoke Japanese well. The others probably spoke only English, so I think it's good to be able to speak at least a little English. It's really fun to be able to talk with other guests too.
Also, a jacket is absolutely essential! Other foreign guests were fine in sleeveless tops, but my husband, who usually gets hot easily, was freezing.
The sunset and fireworks were beautifully visible, and I was very satisfied.
By the way, the crew was full of handsome guys.
2008年2月の金曜日に参加しました。
ハワイは好きで何度も行っていますが・・こんなに外国を
感じたのは初めてでした。
どこへ行っても日本人がいて、英語で話しても日本語で
返されるワイキキ・・でもこのツアーは違いました。
夫婦で参加したのですが、他の方はすべて外国人でした。
スタッフも全て外国人でしたが、キャプテンが以前に
大阪に住んでいたそうで、日本語が上手でした。
それ以外の方は恐らく英語オンリーなので、
やはり多少でも英語が話せるといいと思います。
他のお客さんとも話せると、とっても楽しいですよ。
それから上着は絶対必須！です。
他の外国人の方々は平気でノースリーブでいましたが、
普段暑がりの旦那も凍えてました。
サンセットも花火もキレイに見えて大満足。
余談ですが、クルーはイケメン揃いです。

Since it was our first time in Hawaii, we asked a knowledgeable friend, and they recommended that we definitely see a Hawaiian show at least once.
Thinking we might as well go for the most extravagant show, we decided to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, which everyone recommended. I heard that the stage and the number of performers are the largest there.
As expected from its high reputation, it was impressive! The Hawaiian girls dancing with big smiles and making cheerful sounds left a strong impression on me.
It became a wonderful memory for both of us. Even though it's Hawaii, I heard it can get chilly at night, so I brought a jacket!
ハワイはじめての私たちだったので、友達の詳しい人に聞いて、やっぱり一度はハワイアンショーを見るように薦められました。
どうせなら1番豪華なショーをと思い、みんなが薦めるポリネシア文化センターに行きました。舞台もパフォーマーの数も最大と聞きました。
評判が高いだけあって、迫力がありました！
奇声を発し、笑顔で踊るハワイアンの女の子達が印象的でした。
ふたりの良い思い出になりました。
夜はハワイといえど、冷えると聞いたので、上着を持っていきました！

Whenever we go as a couple, we usually spend our time at the beach and shopping, but this time, with our children and parents, we thought it would be a great opportunity to create some Hawaiian memories.
The large-scale facility, which is like a theme park, recreates an entire village, making it feel like a different world, and it's really wonderful. Even if you go to Waikiki now, you can't imagine the traces of the past or the way of life back then.
My parents were delighted with the enthusiastic staff in the park. The children were a bit scared, though...
The night show had a large number of performers and was very impressive. The kids were thrilled with the fire dance. I thought it was the perfect place to spend a day that feels like Hawaii. Thank you!!
いつも夫婦で行く時にはビーチと買い物に明け暮れるのですが、今回は子供と両親がいるので、せっかくだしハワイらしい思い出をと思って行ってきました。
いかにもテーマパークな大規模な施設は、村ごと再現されている別世界なので、とても良いです。今のワイキキに行っても、当時の面影や生活風景って想像つかないですもんね。
両親はサービス精神旺盛な園内のスタッフに喜んで喜んで。子供は少し怖がってましたが。。。
夜のショーも人数が多いし、迫力満点でした。子供もファイアーダンスにとっても喜んでました。ハワイらしい1日を過ごすには最高の場所と思いました。ありがとうございます！！

I was told this was the most authentic luau on Oahu. The actually dinner was a bit crowded and the stage show was too loud and pretty boring. The buffet offered a variety of dishes but I had to eat from the kids side because that menu only offered the vegetarian option that actually had nutritional value.
When booking this trip it would have been nice to know up front that the cultural center was run by mormons so therefore there was no alcohol or caffeine available. The night show was worth seeing...very well done...just as good as a play in NYC.
Our driver picked us up 15 minutes late then proceeded to wait another 20 for 2 people who were on the list and were not there yet. Because of this we were unable to get the tour of the center that we paid for and they would not issue us tickets to come again some other day. If I could do it all over again I would go the full day, pack food and see the evening show. Probably rent a car and take a break down the street on the beach.
We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. In Hawaii, where there are mostly Japanese, I felt a sense of "foreignness." The female bartender was also sexy, and the food was decent and good. Above all, I felt like I was on my own cruiser, which was the best part. I've been to Hawaii over 30 times, and each time I always experience "Hawaii for the first time."
夫婦２人で参加しました。
日本人は、私たち２人でした。どこに行っても、日本人ばかりのハワイで、"外国"を感じました。バーテンダーの女性もＳＥＸＹで、食事もそれなりに、ＧＯＯＤ，何より、自分のクルーザーみたいな気になり、最高でした。ハワイは、３０回以上になります。毎回、いつも"初めてのハワイ"を体験します。

As a repeat visitor to Hawaii, I heard that the evening shows are impressive, so I attended one for the first time.
I participated in a package that included a daytime tour of the park and the evening show, and it was a great deal!
The park guide provided interesting insights into the lifestyles, culture, and history of each village, making me realize that Hawaii is more than just shopping and beaches—it's a bit embarrassing to admit that (laughs).
The staff throughout the park were all friendly and had smiles, which was very pleasant.
The evening show was as high-quality as I expected, with a large number of performers, creating a powerful experience. The performances directed by professionals are truly different!
I was also glad to see the classic fire dance☆
ハワイリピーターなのですが、夜のショーは見応えがあると聞いて、はじめて行ってきました。
お昼からの園内ツアーと夜のショーのパッケージに参加したのですが、お買い得です！
園内ガイドの方は各村の生活様式や文化、歴史に至るまで面白く案内してくれ、買い物とビーチだけのハワイじゃないんだなぁなんて少し恥ずかしくなりました（笑）
園内のスタッフ皆さんが笑顔と言うか、フレンドリーなのも好感が持てます。
夜のショーは、期待してた通り、レベルも高く、演じての人数が多いので迫力がありました。やっぱり、プロが演出している舞台のパフォーマンスは違いますね～
べたにファイヤーダンスも見れて、よかったです☆

I was surprised to find such a large-scale place that recreates the Polynesian islands all the way out there on the island!
Not only the houses, but even the costumes of the staff in the village add to the fun atmosphere.
I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the guide staff. It was enjoyable to immerse myself in that world all day long, right up until the evening show (＾＾).
ポリネシア諸島を村ごと、再現したあんな大規模な場所が島のあんな遠いところにあるなんて、ビックリしました！
家屋などはもちろんそうですが、村内にいるスタッフの衣装まで雰囲気が楽しいです。
案内スタッフの方の熱心さにも感心。そのまま夜のショーまで一日中、世界に浸れて楽しかったです（＾＾）

The girl that greeted us was very friendly and we got our first impression of the Aloha Spirit. I ordered the lei as a surprise for my wife. She was very surprised and thrilled to start her trip with flowers. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Hawaii; especially if this is your first trip or a special occassion such as a honeymoon. Mahalo and Aloha!
I participated in the package that only included the night show. The fire dance was incredibly powerful. The hula and dances from Polynesian countries were distinctly different and very captivating.
It was completely different from the image I had of hula dancing, and I was moved by the dynamic nature of the show!
Since it was my first time, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the park seemed very large and it appeared to realistically recreate a Polynesian village.
It seems that with the daytime package, I could have enjoyed the park as well, so I think I will go during the day next time.
夜のショーだけ見るパッケージで参加しました。
ファイアーダンスは迫力満点。フラやポリネシア諸国のダンスも特徴がハッキリと分かれており、魅力的でした。
今まで思っていたフラダンスのイメージとは全く違い、躍動感があるショーに感動です！
はじめてなので、どんなところかわからなかったですが、園内はとっても大きいようで、かなりリアルにポリネシアの村を再現しているようでした。
昼間のパッケージなら園内も楽しめたみたいなので、今度は昼から行こうと思います。

I thought it was the best entertainment facility in Hawaii! I've been to Hawaii many times, but for some reason, I never had the opportunity to visit until now.
Since my parents wanted to see the largest Hawaiian show on Oahu, we chose the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the tour of the grounds was also very good.
There was a student, possibly an exchange student from Japan, who guided us around while sharing stories about life in Hawaii. Their passion, likely due to their youth, left a very good impression on me.
The evening show, with its large cast, was truly impressive. I realized just how different it is from the free shows in Waikiki (laughs).
I highly recommend it!
ハワイ1番のエンターテインメント施設と思いました！ハワイは何度も行っているのですが、なぜか今まで行く機会がありませんでした。
両親がどうせ見るならオアフ島で最大規模のハワイアンショーをということで、ポリネシア文化センターを選びましたが、園内ツアーも非常に良かったです。
日本からの留学生の方かな、学生さんが園内をハワイでの生活なんかの話も交えながら案内してくれ、若さゆえか情熱を感じてとても好印象。
夜のショーは最大規模のキャストというだけあって、迫力満点。ワイキキ内の無料のショーとは全然ちがうんだと今さら気づきました（笑）
お薦めです！

Good!
This was an awesome activity!!! I went with my seven year old daughter and we both had a fabulous time. The sunset was AMAZING!! The crew and the captain were funny, polite, and extremely accomedating to the all guests on board. Before leaving the dock they went over safety tips, what food was being provide and where to find it, as well, the itenerary for the evenings trip. The fireworks from the Hilton were great! It was a nice way to wrap up the trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys the open water and beautiful scenery.
We attended this activity on April 4th 2008, We were in Hawii untill April 8th 2008 and overall this was the best experience we had on Oahu. From the very start of this Sail ,the Captain and Crew where terrific very helpfull and just a complete joy to be around. As a Couple it is very hard to get pictures of the two people together, Not on this adventure we actually had the bartender offer to take our pictures together for us. The meal was delicious, Weather was perfect. When we come back to Hawii I will definantly be looking up this company and doing this again We could not have anticipated just how much fun we would have on this sail. If there was one thing I had to tell you to do in Oahu it would be to go on this Sunset Sail. Thank you so much for the Truly enjoyable and relaxing adventure we look forward to seeing you in the Future.

The crew members are some of the nicest people, they offer great friendly service to the passengers. They really do their best to please their customers. They offer some really good and original cocktails. Combined with the rocking motion of the catamaran, it is very much like riding a roller coaster! You will also get to see the beautiful sunset as well as the scenic landscapes that Hawai'i has to offer such as Diamondhead and city lights. The downside is that there are quite a bit of people so there is no privacy so i recommend this activity to families and friends. If you go at night time, don't forget to bring your jackets! Overall, its worth the price for something fun and relaxing!
This was my first visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center, even though it's my fifth time in Hawaii. Last time, my family had a fever, and we had to cancel. So, I was really looking forward to this tour. It was my first time using Alan Net, and I was a bit worried if everything would be alright, but as soon as I made the reservation, the confirmation ticket arrived immediately. Since we don't have a printer at home, I was wondering what to do, but I found out that they also accept fax, which made me feel that this company is reliable.
The cultural center provided interesting and well-explained information in Japanese about the history of Hawaii and the surrounding islands, greetings, buildings, and daily life. The hula lessons, games, dances, music, and the final show were powerful and wonderful. While there are tours that leave early from the cultural center, I highly recommend staying until the end for those who have the time, except for those with small children. My high school kids were also very satisfied. They provided us with great seats, and even adjusted the price to match other cheaper tours, which made for a truly memorable experience.
ハワイは５回目だというのに、ポリネシアン文化センター訪問は、初めて。前回は、家族が熱を出し、キャンセル。だから、今回のツアーはとても楽しみでした。アランネットを利用させていただいたのは、初めてでしたので、失礼ながら、本当に大丈夫か心配でしたが、申し込みと同時に、すぐに予約券は来るし、ウチはプリンターがないから、どうしようとと考えていたら、ＦＡＸも有り、この会社は信頼出来ると思いました。文化センターは、日本語で面白く、上手に説明してくれるし、ハワイや、周辺の島の歴史、挨拶、建物、暮らしもわかり、フラレッスンや、ゲーム、ダンスや音楽、そして、最後のショーは、踊りがパワプルで、素晴らしかったです。文化センターの参加は、早く帰るツアーもありますが、時間のない人や、小さいお子さんがいる人以外の方は、是非最後までの参加が楽しいですよ。我が家の中、高生の子供達も大満足でした。席もイイ席を用意してもらい、他のツアーが安いと合わせていただき、本当に良い思いでとなりました。

These were great!! I suprised my girlfriend and she loved it. The Leis last for weeks!!! On time and profesional!!! Thanks
I took my boyfriend to the afternoon whale watching sail with Makani Kai catamaran, and he had a fantastic time. The boat is beautiful, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Even though we saw about two whales, we didn't mind that. It is a little rocky when you get out there, so for those who get boat sick easily, highly recommend to take them boat sickness bills prior to boarding the boat. Overall, this is such a fantastic ride, friendly crew, beautiful boat, and very relaxing! I will go again, probably take some friends this time!
This sunset cruise is recommended for those who want to enjoy a romantic evening as well as for those who want to have a lively time with friends. Most participants are foreigners, and the staff are cheerful sea men. With loud music playing, those who have had a few drinks create a lively atmosphere with dancing and singing.
The cruise starts while the sun is still high and lively, but as it turns back, the sun gradually sets, and the scenery changes completely. I think you'll be able to see a wonderful sunset and create lovely memories.
このサンセットクルーズはロマンチックな夕暮れを過ごしたい方にも仲間とにぎやかに過ごしたい方にもおすすめです。
というのも参加者の大方は外国人で、スタッフも陽気な海の男たちです。大音量で音楽をかけて酔いがまわった人たちはダンスや歌ににぎやかな雰囲気でした。
スタート開始はまだ日が高くにぎやかにスタートしますが、引き返すころにはだんだんと日が落ちてきてすっかり風景も変わってきます。素晴らしいサンセットが見れて素敵な思い出になると思います。

Friendly greeter, on time, quality flowers. Great surprise.
This cruise was very relaxing and not at all over crowded. Would go again if I come back to Hawaii. They offer food, but if you are a vegetarian bank on only eating the pasta salad...I ate prior to sail.
It was a surprise for m husband and he was in awe! The staff was friendly and helpful; although we needed no further help, it was nice to know she was there to offer a helping hand. The leis were beautiful as the hospitality of Hawaii. Thank you for WOW!!! my husband
Beautiful catamaran sunset cruise. We had whale sightings and a very nice sunset on sea. On Friday cruises you will be also to see the the fireworks, they start 8PM and we saw these just before returing to port. The food is not spectacular and could be improved a little in amount and variety. Mixed drinks are complimentary two per person and have more than enough alcohol content, stay with the beer, if you tend to get seasick!
Overall very enjoyable trip on a gorgeous boat!!!

It was quite the fun experience. From the Captain, to the first mate, to the bartender, they were all quite entertaining and they managed to make a relaxing time very much quite enjoyable. I went with my wife and we managed to get some beautiful pictures taken of this experience. The sun sets as you are sailing along the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond head.
I highly recommend this event for anyone who likes to just get away from it all for an evening. To top it all off, it also comes with a meal and two drinks so you have your evening off to a great start!
The greeter was terrific, friendly and helpful!
My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!
As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.
I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!
My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.
The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.
The Travel DRS give a 5**** to Hawaii Activities.
I will let other Travel Agents know about this site!
Customer Service is professional, helpful and respond the same day to any messages left for them. The website is user friendly and documents have easy accessibility.
